It really is not science that screwed it up. It was just plan old people long ago who had some magnetite and had no idea how it worked. I think that the proper thing to do would be for the poles of a magnetic to always be called north seeking or south seeking, but people always want to drop what

You have it backwards. The north pole of the magnet points north, and the south pole of the magnet points south since the Earths magnetic North pole is actually the south pole magnetically. This is explained at http://www.einstein-newton.com/sci_phy_Magnets.htm where it says: We know the North

Marshall Thanks for so cogently clearing up this magnetic north-south issue. Having read some materials on the healing effects of magnets, particularly the use of the north pole for reducing pain and inflammation, I have made some applications of it. Due to misleading information, I've been using

Oh, yes. One rather important point. Experts on magneto-therapy, like Philpott, claim that the north pole is the one to use for almost all health problems, partcularly those related to inflammation, swelling, tumors, etc. Given Marshall's postings on north-south confusion, how much certainty do

Thanks for this clarification, Ivan. Looks like I was using the right end of the magnet for healing after all - i.e., the north end (using your method of determining north). This would explain my experience last summer when I took a wasp sting in my foot. Ordinarily, the sting area swells up and I
