What the thermal images of our product shows is an increase in heat spreading
from where the single magnet is placed, on top of the left hand, rapidly over
the left hand and forearm. At the same time, the magnetic field radiating
from this single small bipolar neodymium magnet is also increasing the heat
in the right hand and arm of the test subject, which is approximately 6
inches away at its closest from the magnet and does not have a second magnet
applied to it.
This certainly shows that the radiating magnetic field has an effect on the
human body, even at a relatively large distance from the 0.25" Thk. x 0.5"
Dia. magnet.
The heat is the result of increased blood flow to these areas. This shows
beyond question the real speed, depth and distance of field penetration and
effect of our products. Frankly, we were amazed with the results when we
received the pictures of the tests back.

I can see why you conclude that, Bob, the right hand and arm does seem to
warm up first at the side nearest the magnet.
But if you look at the other sequence, which I think was a Nikken device on
the arm, just above the elbow, you will see both hands warming at the same
rate.
Now the Nikken products are not the same strength, so I would not expect the
field penetration you would get with your products, and the hands are feet
away from the magnets.
This suggests to me that the effect is not due to direct action by the
magnetic field on the hands, but by an effect on the blood which travels to
the hands as part of normal blood circulation.
We could prove it by watching the effects with the arms outstretched, and the
hands 4 feet apart, and see if the effect is the same.
Best wishes
