Ceramic magnets work just fine. I have used them for many years. The downside is if you drop them you have lots of little magnets and magnetic dust! :-)

I used to use those at the diretction of my acupuncturist (40 years ago) and they worked fine.

I'm sure there must be other magnets with the same gauss as Peter's, but I can't say if they are the same size. His size (except for the largest ones) are very convienent to use and 'hide'. Some magnets with the same gauss are larger. Each size of Peter's magnets are a different strength. It's hard to say though about other magnet's strength/gauss, because I've read where many dealers will post the gauss that is in the middle of the magnet (where both poles meet) and while this is the strongest, by the time the magnetic energy reaches the surface of the magnet, the gauss drops. So they should really be posting the surface gauss--which is what Peter does. But since they don't it makes it hard to compare. But just remember--any strong neodymium will work, if you already have some on hand. Don't bother with ceramic magnets--you want the neos, also called rare earth. Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- While magnets are available elsewhere, is the "gauss" the same as those sold by Peter? How many gauss does the biomagscience magnets have? Thanks.
