I honestly don't know. I just know that this is what happens. I leave the why's and wherefores to you more scientific types. My partner, Bob Vanson, might...

Tony - The human body as such does not attenuate the field but distance from the magnet does make the field decrease. When you are sufficiently far away from a...
Stefan many thanks From my point of view then, I guess it's safe to model the human body as 'transparent'. Do you know of any contemporary studies of either...
Tony - Yes, the human body is truly transparent to magnetic field. Electric fields, now that is a different story... If you mean static or ELF fields inside...
Oh yes, we have heard of him before! But I haven't had a chance to evaluate the "device"--if it is one! If you are not familiar with slashdot.org, it is...
it is not quite true that the human body is "complete transparent" to magnetic fields. The body does contain inductance (the inverse is called "reluctance") as...
The reason most human Body"equivalent circuit" models only talk about resistance is that that is the only factor that exists if one is using a DC model of the...

If we are talking about static magnetic field, inductance will not be a factor. It is true that tissue is not completely transparent to magentic fields, or we...
Put it this way; if I wish to model magnetic field effects in biological tissues with some theoretical model, is it a reasonable approximation to assume that...
... Take your point, but in practice, there are always changing fields due to movement of the permanent magnet in respect to the body tissue and vice versa.. ...
A magnetic field passes through the human body with no reduction in strength except that caused by distance to the magnetic source. Though I believe the ...

AC magnetic fields very generally do not cause heating of tissue so temperature elevation is not a good way to understand the effects of time varying fields...
... Same effect applies with a single pole, but there we have a biased pulse. My point is that 'static field' is a misnomer, and you always have an 'AC' ...
The experiments I referred to were conducted at the UCSF department of holistic studies in the 1980's--I participated in a few trials--and the experiment was,...
I must agree with Stefan that magnetic monopoles do not exist! (If they did, there is a nobel prize here, folks!)All permanent magnets have 2 poles, and they...
We have just received this announcement from Greece. Should you wish to attend the conference, please contact them directly: For your registration please...
The trouble with calling a single magnetic bar a monopole is that the mathematical formulation for magnetics is based on dipolar properties, so the confusion...
... You miss the point, no-one is calling a single magnet a monopole. Monopole means that only a single pole of the magnet is used therapeutically. The other...
With respect, you've missed the point; monopole is already taken; if you want a 'one pole' terminology then monopole is bespoken and already meas\ns something...
Does anyone have a good text reference either an online website, or offline a journal reference or book that discusses magnets and their design? I'm...
And of course such a terminology (unidirectional, etc) will refer to the field NOT the magnet. I see that you really do want to refer to a single pole of a...
The first person that can place a "monopole" on the human body and eliminate the field effect from the opposing pole (and prove it) will defy the laws of ...
