Before this writing, the absence of repeatable physiological effects relegated any possible curative properties of magnets to the practice of complete charlatanry.

Experimentation in the field of biomagnetism has tended to be somewhat haphazard with little idea of ultimate aim. The work that has been carried out on human subjects has been directed mainly to the observation of possible effects of magnetic fields rather than to obtaining specific results.

In our own work, which forms the subject of this book, we set out with a definite purpose in view and have accordingly adapted our research technique to that end. As a result we can now postulate that all human tissues may respond to some sort of magnetic influence, complex, subtle or powerful though it may have to be. Our object was to show that by the application of magnetic fields to the human body it was possible to obtain response from tissues in proximity to and distant from the fields. These tissues might or might not themselves demonstrate the effects directly, but they might well contribute to a systemic or bodily response of physiological significance.

Many independent laboratory results, charts, pictures and construction drawings included here will aid your understanding and personal application of the knowledge gained by these eminent researchers at the Delawarr Laboratories, Oxford, England.
