No. We ground ourselves constantly during the day and have no need to do so by going barefoot which exposes us to toxins that are legitimately harmful (eg. cryptococcal meningitis in faecal matter). Furthermore, you know you've just grounded when you feel the zap of a static shock. The doorknob is a common place to discharge, yet most of the time we touch doorknobs, which is ridiculously often, we feel no static zap meaning we had no need to discharge to begin with. The supreme irony is that the insulating soles of shoes actually prevents us from picking up excess charge off surfaces we would otherwise collect from, a fact which should just about hammer the final nail in the coffin of this whack "barefoot grounding" theory.
Have you ever heard of anyone giving anyone a static shock so severe that the victim DIED from it? Our bodies are governed by electrical impulses and yet we get by just fine with or without being physically connected to the soil.
I don't recall it being absolute proof but there is potentially legitimate concern about electromagnetic fields emanating from equiment that sees huge amounts of power. By huge, I mean in the magnitude of powerlines transmitting inconceivable amount of electricity. Generally speaking, no electrical device in the average household projects an EMF further than 2-3 ft and even those are weak fields.
Are you really so naive as to think the purpose of that site is the dissemination of knowledge? Notice that right next to the "Scientific Research" tab there's a tab entitled "Products". You gotta know it's a scam when a website is trying to sell the same grounding strap I can buy for $2 at the electronics store down the street for 18 fuckin quid as a fucking health product.
