> If any of what they claim about "grounding" was true, the doctors would notice it a long time ago and they would be wiring patients to ground potential for decades already. I'm not sure if this is how medicine works. There are many practices that 'should be obvious' as health promoting but weren't put into place clinically until recently. For example, bright, early morning sunlight for alleviating depression and anxiety; or using infrared light for reducing local inflammation and reducing pain. We've been able to use electromagnetism to our advantage for hundreds of years, but only within the last decade or so these two use cases which look incredibly obvious in retrospect have become common place. So I don't think doctors are always 'quick to notice'. However, I think most of your latter points are correct.

The people involved in it can develop vaccines, perform neurosurgery, etc. They do not need a bunch of misinformation spreaders to tell them that there is this great "life hack" that everyone has been missing all these years. If there was e.g. a considerable disproportion in the healing time of the same kind of wounds in patients from hospitals A and B, the doctors and other scientists would look into it, even decades ago. If "grounding" of hospital beds was to be the root cause, they would have noticed it and investigated it. Yet, no such "discovery" was ever made.
