Hi,
I am a new member here. I had a couple questions I hoped you folks
could help me with.

One, which definition of North is the relevant one for positive magnet
affect on the human body? The one definition is where the side of the
magnet that pulls a compass needle to it is the north side.

The other definition has the logic that the north side of a magnet
should push the compass needle away, so that the needle and the magnet
are both pointing north. Even different scientists disagree about
this. It's not important to me which one is "correct", just which one
is applicable to beneficial magnet use.

The second question concerns some magnets I have. I recently had a
chance to disassemble 7 old microwave ovens, and was able to extract
the two, big, quite strong "O" shaped magnets from them. 2-1/4" -
2-3/4" across (14 of them). They are very strong. If I set one on a
table and hold another over it, the one on the table will jump up 6"
from the table to attach itself to the one above it, severely pinching
any fingers that might be between them! (Guess how I know this?) They
are bi-polar (you know, manic depressive), not uni-polar.

Is there a way I can utilize these magnets on various parts of my body
for pain or inflammation relief? Other applications?

Thanks for any help.
