There's An Important Difference
Between The North And South Pole
Of A Magnet

To the Editor
Benning’s Health & Fitness Journal 

I thoroughly object to the letter to the Editor in the Jan-Feb 2000 issue titled “Magnet Technology” by Ted Zablotsky MD (following my letter of Incredible Power of Magnets). Dr. Zablotsky’s letter is scientifically misleading and is teaching improper and wrong magnetic science and biophysics. This can be very dangerous for the human condition if these statements are used indiscriminately in biomagnetic treatments. Dr. Zablotsky states that there is no difference in the effect of both poles of the magnet andthere is no science to support separate pole effects. In addition, he states that it is impossible to separate the poles unless a magnet is physically larger than a human body. 

First, let us look at the letter’s claim that it is impossible to separate the fields of both poles of a magnet it is larger than a (human) body.According to this exclamation, the ubiquitous small portable generator, that people use at work sites, would have to have 60 positive and 60 negative “larger than the size of a body” magnets to create normal 60 cycle 120 volt house current. How do they fit those “people sized magnets” into such a small space such as that generator or the motor in the back of the refrigerator or inside a vacuum cleaner or a garbage disposal? It is accomplished since each one of the small powerful magnets in a motor or generator are homo/uni/mono/single pole focused. It is easy to separate the pole of a magnet. They are simply charged so that each individual pole is on the opposite side of each other. To make the really strong magnets, they are magnetized as they are compressed before being fired in the kiln. This is called sintering the magnet

  Furthermore, it is indicated in his letter that there is a lack of understanding of physics and no science to support the people who think or claim that one pole gives one effect and the other pole gives the opposite effect. According to the letter’s proclamation of the polar effects, the negative side of the magnet does not create the “left-hand (chirality) rule” electron spin of the atoms of the material parallel to the pole piece – nor does it create a negative charge. Furthermore, under the new rules of this letter, the positive side no longer creates the right-hand (chirality) rule nor does it produce positive charges either. Looks like engineers and physicists have been using the wrong physical laws for forever.

   It is time now for people to know how a (bio) magnet really works, since its application is very important. Everyone in electrical and/or magnet engineering knows that when both poles of a magnet are placed closely together, the flux only flows between them. If both poles of the magnet are on the same surface, their flux lines only flow between the surface poles – not outward. This type of magnet design provides very little penetration into the body. Only a single pole field on one side of the magnet (with the opposite pole on the other side) can give the homo/uni/mono/single pole effect. Anyone who thinks there really isn’t a difference between the North and South poles, has no idea of science, which is taught in basic engineering.It is also apparent that they have never used a gauss meter or a magnetometer, the instruments used for measuring the power and defining the positive and negative side of a magnet.

   Magnet science is simple. One pole gives a positive charge and the other gives a negative charge. These charges occur from the electrons becoming excited in the field of the magnet. In the most basic quantum physics, the non-charged electrons are in a para or normal state. When magnetically charged, the excited electrons of the atoms, change their orbit to a spin parallel with the pole surface and they take on an energized condition known as the ortho state. In this state, the nucleus changes direction against the spinning electron creating a friction that is measured in an increased or endothermic (taking on energy) electrical value. In the negative field of a magnet, the electrons spin in a counter-clockwise motion (left-hand chirality rule) in the negative field of a magnet and spin in a clockwise motion (right-hand chirality rule) in the positive field. Another basic scientific issue is that when the two poles (positive and negative) are on the same side or pole piece of a magnet, the aggregate (sum) of the combined field will not be neutral, but will have a small positive charge. This is easily measured and easily understood – the positive field is expanding and the negative is contracting. Expanding is always larger than contracting. If the positive were light and the negative were dark, put the two together and you have twilight, which is still light. In essence, the bi-polar single-sided magnet gives off a small positive charge.

   If Dr. Zablotsky’s statement was to infer that there is no difference in the effect of either pole on biology or the body’s physiology, I say he is extremely misinformed! The evidence is in and has been around for a long time and can be found in the teachings at all medical universities. The cytoplasm (inside), quantifiably the largest part of a healthy cell, measured at rest, has a negative charge potential. When stressed or traumatized, the cell (now measured positively potentiated or with a loss of its negative charge value) sends an ascending signal through the nervous system to the brain which in turn, sends the descending signal to flood negative healing charges to the cell (s) to get them back to their normal negative charge potential (homeostasis). That is how the body’s basic defense and healing system works – naturally sending negative charges to the affected area. All of these measurements have been conducted years ago on the body with a very expensive mico-voltmeter known as a Squid (Super Conducting Quantum Interference Device). 

    What else do the negative charges do - Trappe et al. showed the reduction of cancer cells under a negative magnetic field and a very aggressive proliferation with the positive magnetic pole. Dr. Becker et al. (University of Massachusetts) showed that a healing site always goes negative once the healing starts. Starting in the 1930’s, Davis et al. conducted so many experiments which have been duplicated so many times, that he is considered the worldwide founder of the different biological pole effects.His experiments essentially provided the original physical precepts about scientific magnetic healing. He found the negative pole provided the calm electrical atmosphere that promoted healing which was later identified to mimic and amplify the body’s natural defense system. He also found the positive field stimulates metabolism which often interferes with the flood of negative charges and stresses the healing site, which in turn, floods the area with more negative energy. Simple to understand – adoctor prescribes cold for swelling, never heat. This is not to say the positive pole should never be used. The positive pole, when used in conjunction with the negative pole, has been found to be necessary in specific treatment modalities when instituting specialized circuits to initiate re-growth of cartilage or breached nerve or bone unions. On the proper location (s), it can potentiate nerve cells and vitalize weak, nerve pathways, which in turn, elevates the healing message (s) from the brain to the affected areas. It also can reset and amplify the proper current flows in the body as taught in Ayurvedic medicine, Reike, Shiatsu, Acupuncture, Kinesiology, Reflexology, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and is now being used, studied and taught by contemporary medical scientists and practitioners. 

    For your information, manufacturers’ of bi-polar and multi-polar biomagnets warn not to use them on any sick or diseased organs. They don’t explain the reason - that the aggregate positive field stresses the organ which increases the disease. Yet, these same organs are readily treated with the negative, calming, energy healing pole – with great results and no need of warnings.

   It is wise to know the science of biomagnets before you use them. Imagine what could happen to someone with a brain tumor who is using a headband with bi-polar magnets to stop their headaches. Those aggregate positive fields may change the way that person feels for a while, but the positive field has been proven to grow tumors whereas the negative field has show
