"The reason we are not aware of these huge magnetic fields is that they vary so rapidly from one point to another and from one moment to the next. A compass needle, for example, reacts to the magnetic field averaged over the needle's length and over the time it takes to turn by a noticeable amount (say, 0.1 second). The effect of quantum fluctuations on such scales is completely negligible.1 All is well until we check the energy of the fluctuations. The energy density in a magnetic field depends only on the field strength, not on its direction." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"That's more MRI machines than there were in all of Canada, and radiologists in Toledo sometimes joke that it's a wonder that cars don't swerve back and forth on the streets where many of the city's hospitals are located, owing to the strong magnetic fields that are created by MRI machines. When hospitals buy faster machines, says Baker, it lowers the barrier for physicians to order yet another unnecessary test, setting up a vicious cycle. Why not send a patient off to get a scan—for bed control, to avoid a malpractice suit, because a patient demanded it? " - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"This "master gland" is able to detect variations of the earth's magnetic field and use that information to locate geographical directions (north, south, east, west) and determine seasonal cues (the earth's magnetic fields changes daily and seasonally).25 In one study, researchers removed the pineal glands of pied flycatchers, a type of migratory bird. A subset of the birds received melatonin supplementation while the other birds did not." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.) "For example, in 1996 a team of researchers found that blood melatonin levels in female rats decreased after exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields, about the same frequency as most household appliances. Many similar studies on melatonin are now underway.17 At the same time, not being exposed to naturally occurring EMFs can have a negative impact on health, for they function as a kind of energy nutrient." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)

"This office was adjacent to an electrical switchgear room which generated high magnetic fields in the work space. The risk of male breast cancer in this group was increased about 100-fold (observed three cases, expected 0.03 cases). [American Journal Industrial Medicine 46:86-7, 2004]. However, it is curious that researchers overlooked an obvious yet unapparent risk factor. Indoor work, particularly a basement workplace, would deprive workers of sunlight exposure. Sunlight produces vitamin D in humans. A deficiency of vitamin D is linked with breast cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Magnetic devices are now registered as medical devices available by prescription in 54 countries around the world while the Food and Drug Administration classifies the application of magnetic fields as "not essentially harmful". There are numerous regulations prohibiting the marketing of magnetic therapy products with the claim of therapeutic effects, especially for serious conditions like cancer and AIDS." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"The earth, the sun, and the Milky Way galaxy all have magnetic fields. All known magnetic fields are caused by the movement of electrical charges. Electrons in orbit in atoms give rise to magnetic fields, so that every atom is, like the earth, surrounded by a magnetic field. (See magnet and magnetism.) magnetism A fundamental property of some materials (for example, iron) and electrical currents by which they are capable of exerting a force on magnets. (See electromagnet, magnet, and magnetic field.) Mars In astronomy, the fourth major planet from the sun." - James Trefil, Joseph F. Kett, and E. D. Hirsch, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know (Get the book.)

"And then there is the problem with electromagnetic fields—electrical and magnetic fields generated by the sun, the moon, and the planets, but also by our bodies, man-made electrical power-generating stations, and all electrical wiring and appliances. The activity of every living cell in our bodies is regulated by the flow of electromagnetic fields. Our metabolism is geared to the natural background levels of radiation and electromagnetic energies from the cosmos. The Earth's electromagnetic field pulses at the rate of 7." - Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic, Natural and Earthwise (Get the book.)

"The pineal gland is sensitive not only to light, but also to magnetic fields. This makes sense when you consider that visible light is actually a very high frequency electromagnetic field, oscillating at 1,015 hertz (Hz), or 1 trillion times per second. In comparison, human brain waves in deep sleep oscillate at about 2 to 4 Hz. In studies on migratory birds, scientists discovered that the pineal gland, in conjunction with the hormone melatonin, functions as the brain's navigating system." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)

"At that time, measurement of the heart's field required the use of the most sensitive instruments available; today scientists are able to detect electrical and magnetic fields millions of times fainter. In 1929, Hans Berger, using progressively more sensitive galvanometers, was able to detect and describe the brain's electrical field, which is much fainter than the heart's. His work contributed to the development of the electroencephalogram (EEG), which maps the brain were mapped by magnetocardiograms and magnetoencephakr grams." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Everything radiates, including light, warmth, air, earth-electrical fields, microwaves, magnetic fields, radioactivity and the like In response to all these visible and invisible influences, your body produces concrete messages, which try to let you know and feel what to do at any given moment. Sleep, hunger, thirst and any other natural urges or occurrences in your body indicate that your "radio" is switched on, and you are "in tune" with the natural world. All of us are constantly challenged to listen to and act on the messages we receive." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"A common source of externally induced influence is produced by magnetic fields that can also affect the way that you feel. Acoustical noise can be quite difficult to characterize and test but the influences on the mind can be both heard and seen. An example of this is when someone is talking to you. You consciously perceive or understand what that person is saying to you. Another example is when you look at a movie. You see the characters portrayed, the action and anything else the eye and ear can see and hear. This type of influence on our minds is called conscious perception." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"Although some scientists speculated that magnetic fields might be responsible for the disease, Dr. Swank thought it was diet, especially animal-based foods high in saturated fats.43 He found that inland dairy-consuming areas of Norway had higher rates of MS than coastal fish-consuming areas. Dr. Swank conducted his best-known trial on 144 MS patients recruited from the Montreal Neurological Institute. He kept records on these patients for the next thirty-four years.47 He advised his patients to consume a diet low in saturated fat, most of whom did, but many of whom did not." - T.

"The MagLev train in Japan travels at high speed on two opposing magnetic fields generated by superconductors. As a result there is absolutely none of the friction found between wheels and rails, as passengers ride in a state of levitation. So superconducting technology, and our thirst for speed and efficiency, is driving us beyond the world of restrictive electrical currents, to a dimension where things happen comfortably and instantly." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) "This is a space beyond magnetism, like the space between the magnetic fields produced under the MagLev train. This space, like the entangled space connecting electrons of opposing spin, is the opening to another dimension; an energy that exists outside our concepts of space and time, known variously as free, zero-point and scalar energy. ^=?^ ft It (A) Standard coil (B) Bifilar coil (C) Torroid coil (D) Mobius coil Figure 7.

"It travels through bone, beds, and plaster casts. magnetic fields seem to work by affecting the electrical charge of cells. A normal cell has an electrical potential of about 90 millivolts. An inflamed cell has a potential of about 120 millivolts, and a cell in a state of degeneration may drop to 30 millivolts. By entraining the electrical fields of the cells within its range to the magnetic pulses emitted by the PMS machine, cells can be brought back into a healthy range." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"One study on humans who used electric blankets concluded that periodic exposure to even low frequency electric or magnetic fields can significantly affect pineal gland function.20 In an interesting study on electric power, pineal function, and breast cancer, investigators postulated that higher rates of breast cancer in industrialized nations may be due to increased light-at-night (LAN) and electromagnetic fields (EMF) suppressing human melatonin production.21 Many modern occupations and conditions — including living near a power line — can significantly increase EMF exposure." - Michael Friedman, ND, Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology (Get the book.)

"Larry Abbott during inflation, electric and magnetic fields experience random jerks, or quantum fluctuations. If you try to measure, say, the magnetic field inside the box, the answer you get depends on the size of your measuring device. Suppose you start with a fairly large device, which probes the field on the scale of 1 centimeter. The magnitude of the field will then come out to be a few billionths of a gauss. (To put this in perspective, note that the strength of the magnetic field on the Earth's surface is about 1 gauss." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"When water is exposed to magnetic fields, then examined using infrared spectroscopy, it demonstrates reduced hydrogen bonding and other minute changes in its molecular structure. In a seminal series of experiments by Bernard Grad, Ph.D., of McGill University, these same molecular changes were demonstrated in samples of water on which healers had performed "the laying on of hands." Grad per formed scores of experiments on seed germination and plant growth over the course of many years." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"In the central hole, the magnetic fields are cancelled out, opening our window to another dimension. If we were to shrink ourselves down enough to sit inside this hole, it is likely we would experience a wonderful state of peace while all around us we would see this fierce electrical storm raging. Those who find themselves in the eye of a hurricane often experience an eerie calm, while the storm forms a formidable whirling wall around them. I have often used this as an analogy for meditation - finding a still point in one's day even though all around there is chaos and tension." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Magnetic Field Sensors in the Human Brain Not only are humans sensitive to magnetic fields on a cellular level, and not only do our internal organs produce extremely weak magnetic fields, but humans, as well as bacteria, bees, and birds— at least twenty-seven species so far in the "magnetic zoo"—apparently possess a special magnetic sensor in the form of magnetite crystals that enables us to orient ourselves with respect to the geomagnetic field." - Richard Leviton, Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom (Get the book.) "Becker documents numerous advances in the fields of electrotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electroacupuncture, pulsed magnetic fields, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, all of which produce positive effects through working with the body's subtle electric and magnetic fields. When something as fundamental to life as electromagnetic energy is both a killer and a healer, both peril and promise, then we are face to face with a basic paradox of nature." - Richard Leviton, Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom (Get the book.)

"Additionally, magnetic fields and healers hands could increase enzyme reaction rates. Interestingly, early studies with magnetic detectors were unable to register any significant magnetic fields around the healers' hands. However, more recent research by Dr. John Zimmerman at the University of Colorado School of Medicine has added further evidence to suggest the magnetic nature of healing energy. Utilizing an ultrasensitive magnetic-field detector called a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device), Dr." - Richard Gerber, M.D., Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies (Get the book.) "Thus, the energetic fields of the healer's hands were able to repair ultraviolet-damaged enzymes in a manner similar to that of magnetic fields. The energetic fields of healers fit Dr. Tiller's criteria for negative space/time substance, or magnetoelectric energy, in that they demonstrate certain qualitative similarities to magnetic fields, and they also have negative entropic properties, i.e. the ability to reassemble disordered molecules such as enzymes. The experimental evidence from the aforementioned studies suggests that the energies of healers appear to be magnetic in nature." - Richard Gerber, M.D., Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies (Get the book.)
