  1. stronger mouse brains
    Now we can forget the tin-foil hats and get in on the ground floor of TMS hats? Get smarter in five-days with a TDG TMS ball cap! It worked for the mice and it will work for you! Before we do this I’m thinking we need a few more details.

    Will the mice become homicidal maniacs next month, begin solving differential equations, or perhaps run themselves to death in their little wheels in sleepless, suicidal excitement. I would be interested in the TMS field strength and treatment duration that was used on the mice. Also, I find the following excerpt a bit troubling:

    “TMS uses a magnetic coil to induce electric fields in the brain tissue – activating or deactivating groups of neurons, although the exact mechanism has remained unknown. One theory was that it aided learning and memory by strengthening brain circuits through a process called long-term potentiation (LTP).”

    Deactivating? This statement indicates that the same TMS process is used to both activating or deactivating groups of neurons. What determines if neurons are activated or deactivated – field strength, duration, number of exposures? I know very little about the brain or a gyrus hippocampus but I can’t envision how deactivating brain circuits aids learning and memory. Details, details.

    BTW, it appears that all those floks selling magnetic bracelets and such are on to something. Stem cells.

      1. of corse magnets work
        have you not remembered any of my posts over the last 7 plus years. Everything is magnetic, therefore everything is effected by magnets.

      2. Magnet power
        Floppy1 is right. We can’t rely on information in an article that states, “TMS uses a magnetic coil to induce electric fields in the brain tissue”. That statement is a complete mess. I’m still concerned about “activating or deactivating groups of neurons, although the exact mechanism has remained unknown.” I’m not sure that there’s anything in this article that is reliable. That’s disappointing, because New Scientist is usually very good.

        At this point in the investigation, I believe we can definitely state that your magnetic bracelet will help you, hurt you, do absolutely nothing, or some combination of help, hurt, or nothing. My money would be on “absolutely nothing” because the field produced by your bracelet is very weak.

    2. it cracks me up really
      TMS uses “MAGNETIC COILS” to produce “ELECTRIC FIELDS”. Wouldn’t you think they would use electric coils to produce magnetic fields??? And “the exact mechanism has remained unknown”. Don’t you just love science,”don’t know how it works, but it works”.
      Magnetic fields and how they work: magnetic fields have a direct influence on all liquids with an oxygen molecule. Rain from the sky has been directly influenced by the earths magnetic field. The result is a loosening bond of the molecular structure. This is why rain from the sky makes things grow better then tap water or creeck water. The same principal is applied to the flow of oxygen in the body fluids. The bond is loosened and therefore moves quicker and more effeciently through tissues and into cells. This aids healing and reduces pain very quickly.
      Magnets placed around water pipes will reduce algea and other residues by loosening the molecular bond and allowing residues to fall away rather then be carried along. Again this principal works on the human vascular system. Inhancing the bodies ability to deal with waste residues in our system.
      So inhanced blood flow and easier acceptance of nutrients to the cells can only be benificial. Also a better balance of the magnetic polarity of the body is achieved by magnetic therapy and a feeling of well being is established.

          I’ll take it as a compliment.
          Everything is a magnet. An atom is a magnet. Ponder that and proove me wrong.

          2. Ed was on the right track but
            he didn’t have the advantage of modern discoveries to articulate his message better. Tesla had the idea and made working models of free energy from magnetic attract,attract principal.
            The atom has more in it then just Protons and electrons. I say the Higgs Boson is magnetic waves as particals yet to be found. This is the magnetic field within each atom forming a frequency which is a wave. The quark that appears then disappears is no more then the balancing of the magnetic field. Similar to earth and it’s storms with lightning. Lightning is produced by a build up of negatively charged particals in an area opposed to positively charged particals in another area. Once the resistance becomes a certain strenght it has to balance. BOOM, we have a discharge between the opposing particals until balance is reached. When they split an atom they have no idea where this energy comes from or where it goes. But the power released is devastating. What they are actually doing is cracking open a piece of fabric of the universe. Very scary.
            Science understands mass and measures weight but does not know what gives mass weight. This is how simple it is: weight is the resistance of different frequencies of magnetic energy. Gravity is magnetic energy but of a more universal frequency. Different frequencies have a different scale of attraction. Without gravity we have no weight but different frequencies give different weight per mass ratio so you have a different attract within earths gravity(magnetic)field.
            All this is my “unification theory”. This is the grail of science. I could keep writting for hours to explain how this effects everything in existing. Even people on a level they would not even notice.
            But you will have to wait till I write my book on it.
            Which will be free.

          3. electron flow vs channelized energy
            I find yer magnetic bit interesting, but in the body, an individual cell works on the sodium ion pump mechanism thru a sterol membrane, as energy transfer at the ion level. Chemicals and their conductivity of electric potential supply the body with its electric frequencies, which vary by type of cell strucutre. Brain cells are not the same structure as heart muscle cells are not the same as nutrient bearing cells in the blood stream, yet all need the sodium ion pump mechanism to function. In inert objects like dirt, stones, coal, metals, etc, there is no nutrient and electric frequency action going on, When was the last time you did an ECG or EEG on a lump of coal, yet that carbohydrate chemical bonding blending which makes coal what it is, is not a suitable nutrition source for the body., yet both possess latent as well as active magnetic properties when reconstituted in the requisite environment. Metals necessary to generate electrical impulses come from the diet folk eat. If you fast or drink only pure water for protracted periods of time your body will cannabalize itself and recycle the waste salts of yer urine in yer kidneys to get requisite metallic ions necessary to keep the sodium ion pump function going. If you sweat excessively and get no replacement sodium ions you go into shock, then experience cell death. These cell changes can be monitored by ECG or EEG which have nothing to do with magnetism, but everything to do with cell survival. Ask a cardiologist why they use electro pacing when a heart needs defibrillating, they don’t jolt it with a blast of electricity, they seek the path of least resistance to assist ion flow in cells of heart muscles.
            Then a cardiologist will start dumping in a chemical blend depending upon how a heart responds to those chemicals, they use calcium blockers, beta adnergic stimulants, bicarbonate, etc. If you said everything was chemical in conjunction with electron interactivity, yer able to progress into selective magnetism with no problem.

            You ran everything together in some sort of stew and equated everyting in that stew. Pure Water contains 2 elements, however, the human body would be killed instantly by Pure water, it needs saline, which is sodium and chlorine, plus oxygen and hydrogen. The sodium ion pump mechanism depends on a 9% saline blend in the bloodstream, too much or too little of either sodium or chlorine will also affect a body drastically.

            What you take for granted on a everything is magnetic is not accurate at the ion level of cellular interaction. Water is a great conductor of electricity but a poor source of magnetizeable potential, spin water as fast as you can you don’t generate electricity from it, nor create a magnetic field. Tesla learned quite quickly which elements were the best generators, which were the best conductors, and he worked essentially with copper.

            I have never seen a functioning Tesla coil made of water, sand, dirt, air, lumps of coal, household dust, etc. I have read about using aluminum to make coils and cables, but they disintegrate quite rapidly. Rust-free steel products which don’t attract or repel a magnet can’t be utilized either, even though the component metals in that UNOX blend can be made to conduct a current. In the sailing trade, the best rust-free steel in the world comes from Finland, its used for its ability to resist corrosion and to tolerate lightning strikes out at sea.

            I have never seen a computer mother board and all its components made of just any material handy just ‘cuz it has some magnetic potential. Water and paper are 2 plentiful, cheap items that can’t be magnetized in the conventional sense of data transmission, yet silicas containing metals do just fine, how come? Silica is a common molecular substance that needs considerable expertise in order to do the job, you just don’t throw in a handful of sand onto a mother board and expect it to function, even though it can function as a lo-level lö-strength magnetizable substrata.

            Re-work yer concept and get it assessed by the scientific community and see if it flies in the format you set up.

          4. Congratulations jaako
            See! You can make intelligent replies that are perfectly understandable. Good boy. —————————–Truth is stranger than fiction.

          5. thanks jaako for an informative comment
            I do understand the difficulties people have in the mind shift needed to understand atomic and sub-atomic concepts. When your dealing with molicules and cells it’s hard to shift to even smaller existance. Everything is made of atoms and atoms are made of everything. The Higgs Boson must exist but is not known yet. Though I feel I have solved this.
            The best way to understand magnetism is firstly NOT to use the word electrical any where near it. Then to understand that everything can be magnetised. Then to understand that magnetism travels in wave particals. This will also solve the enigma of light movement. Then to understand there is many many frequencies of this wave partical.
            You may have to wait for my book as well.

            that is a better artical then the original which started this thread. At least it says a magnetic field and not an electric field.

            [quote=thefloppy1]The best way to understand magnetism is firstly NOT to use the word electrical any where near it. Then to understand that everything can be magnetised. [/quote]

            That’s the very heart and soul of your argument, and it’s also the part I simply can’t understand. I’m not saying that you’re wrong but I’ve been making a living manipulating electrons for a long time. I know how to control them and manipulate them from DC to white light because I understand the basic physical laws that govern their behavior. One of the most basic concepts, of course, is that current moving through a conducting element will create a magnetic field. The reverse is also true; i. e. moving a wire through a magnetic field will produce a current through a conductor. These facts are the basis of everything from electric motors to radar. Now, if I understand you, you are saying that magnetism and electricity are not related.

            You further state that everything can be magnetized. That has not been my experience. I have yet to see demonstrated wood or limestone with magnetic qualities. Thus, the thesis must include some sort repeatable experiment or model that demonstrates the validity of the statement.

            I encourage you to create your model or write your book help the rest of us understand your point of view. Good luck.

          9. does anybody know where Bearden hangs out?
            I read a few things by Bearden that have been contested by others who seem to know the ins and out of electrons, Bearden always used Tesla as his start point, its the bit about relativity as Tesla saw it as compared to how Einstein saw it. To Tesla it was magnetism and electricity in symbiosis, he saw the phenomena of light in this vein as well, due to his experiments with lasers, flourescent lighting fire ball plasma plugs, and a few others I can’t recall off hand. I wish I could recall the name Tesla gave for the energy field surrounding atomic sub particles that others refer to as the aether, that Maxwell pondered about but never resolved to his satisfaction.

            This charged atmosphere is what cyclotron experiments attempt to simulate so that particulate energy spurts can be tracked in a cloud chamber. These nano or less short lived energy inputs between electrons are fascinating ‘cuz they defy magnetism rather than define it, so I can see where the flop is coming from, however, these particulate inputs don’t constitute the nucleus of an atom to give it its atomic weight. Its like a marmite fart, short, explosive, unmistakeable for any other fart source if it was given the added kick of a pickled hardboiled egg for additional energy input, after that marmite slug clears the room is the deliverer of that jolt measurably heavier before release or measurably lighter after delivery? since the container is still viable.

            Same happens in atomic nuclei with their explosive cores shooting out particulate energy slugs to prod electrons along in their orbits. Now I wonder where is the source of this particulate ejection energy coming from if the nucleus of any given atom is utilizing its energy reserves to sustain its atomic weight function, say a gold atom, If these elements lose their atomic nucleus weight to drop down the atomic weight scale does that automatically mean these elements become identifiable with an atom of say nickel, and take on all the characteristics of nickel to include color, malleability, melting point, etc. OR are we talking about an isotope variant of a gold atom without radioactive properties? This is where I would go the the atomic physicist crowd for answers.

            I would be taking on the Stephen Hawkings of the world if I felt secure ’nuff to discuss magnetism without electricity, without a metallic conductor, transmitter, generator. We be talkin’ belief at this point, no?

          10. Hi Bill….
            What I am talking about is not soley something in my head. You have a predisposed position on electricity.
            Hopefully this here will help you. I’m not the only magnetic nut in the world, but could be one of the very few who could link it to everything.

            Predisposed position[quote=thefloppy1]What I am talking about is not soley something in my head. You have a predisposed position on electricity.[/quote]

            Yes, you could say that. I have a degree in electrical engineering and many years of experience in the design of very complex electronics systems. That’s why I know certain things things are true about the physics of electricity and magnetism. I’ve not only read it – I’ve done it.

            But if you’ve got an idea I’m willing to listen. If you’ve got something you want me to read that you or someone else wrote about your thesis then post the link, name the book, cite the article, write it in a post, copy and paste it or whatever. I watch very little TV so I’m not likely to see it if you refer to a TV program. I reserve the right to comment on what you state or cite.

            I do know that TV you posted in the piciure won’t work unless you plug it in. When you plug it in, a high-voltage generates a magnetic field around the cathode ray tube. The magnetic gield directs an electron beam that excites the phospher in the tube. Fascinating really, but a little outdated by LCDs, projection, and plasma. But all of them depend on that basic inter-relationship between electricity and magnetism.

          14. here’s a fundamental principal
            people who are used to one line of thinking all their lives, find it very difficult to change the line of thought.
            I respect you Bill and also earthling. Both of you show a great understanding in physics. So both of you should know that several of our Laws of Physics are based on a giant leap of faith.
            We know that pushing an electrical current down a wire will produce an electrical field, it also produces a magnetic field. We can fluctuate the electrical field by changing the voltage but the magnetic field will stay the same. Now science does NOT, and this is fact, know the relationship between a magnetic field and an electrical field. They just know it exists.
            I will explain the relationship between these two in my book. Tesla knew all this but did not put it out there for the world to see. It was too dangerous.

          16. I did post the link

          17. The Link
            I tried that link twice this morning and went to a pic of a TV in a trash can. Thus, my comments about television.

            Following your last post I tried the link again. This time it went to the Johnson motor. I see that we have changed subjects. We began with the relationship between electricity and magnetism, you stating that there wasn’t while I maintain that there is. Now you’ve gone to a perpetual motion machine, the Johnson motor, a device that, if it worked, utilizes that magnetism-electrical relationship.

            The Johnson motor uses permanent magnets as an energy source. A constant imbalance of the magnetic forces between the rotor and the stator of the motor causes motion and produces energy. The trick is that the imbalance must always be maintained in the same direction throughout the revolution. It was even claimed by witnesses that Johnson hit the sweet spot once and it worked. Johnson got a patent on the device. Then Johnson died suddenly and no one can repeat the experiment although the schematics and notes are available.

            It couldn’t work, of course. Mr. Newton didn’t like folks trying to get something for nothing so he wrote a law against it. It was his second one about thermodynamics. But if you’re still a believer, build one. It should be easy enough to prove the principle with the schematics available. I will admit that I once got interested in the Searl Generator, a similar device, and built a model. Magnetism is energy and that Searl Generator sure seemed like a good idea. Searl demonstrated his generator several times but then his house was burned and he died unexpectedly, similar to Johnson. All very conspiratorial and mysterious.

            My Searl Generator model didn’t work any better than Searl’s or Johnson’s because there’s just no winning against Mr, Newton and his laws. But I had a little fun playing with the circular magnets.

  2. Vatican has mentioned ET like stuff in the past… big deal…
    I forgot how long ago an astronomer from the Vatican did a shoot from the lip comment about the current UFO and ET hullaballoo, he glibly said to a reporter, haven’t you ever heard of angels and devils? they have been doing this sort of stuff since recorded time, or something close to that effect. He mentioned Ezekiels’ chariot of fire as an exampel of how a bronze age writer would describe an angelic UFO. It describes the Fatima phenomenon as being angelic based. For the Vatican to come out and cash in on this trendiness is their way of setting their own specific spin on it. Favorable encounters with angelic helpful ETs vs demonic alien body snatches and whatever else falls under that category. Its the good vs evil nature of things taking place on a higher plane.

    Its only a matter of time for folk who invested a lot of time and effort into convincing us terrestrials these ET things happen, they now have to stay a step ahead of the Vatican, The wicca, new age, grey reptilian, intergalactic timeshifter cassiopeians now have their work cut out for themselves in defending their turf against the Vaticans’ intrusion into their o-zone/aether zone sphere.

    1. The Vatican, UFOs, Planet X and Christoforo Barbato
      jaako wrote “For the Vatican to come out and cash in on this trendiness …”

      reply: While I agree the story is bizarre, it would appear that members of the Vatican are not responsible for the story. It seems the journalist and UFO aficionado, Christoforo Barbato, is the person trying to cash in on this story. His source is impeccable – “an unnamed Vatican Jesuit priest.”

      Ciamarra (#3571) may be pleased to note that this same ‘unnamed Vatican Jesuit priest’ is also credited with having obtained photographic evidence that proves the existence of ‘Planet X.’ The proof of his finding was, of course, duly sent to a “radio-telescope hidden in a dismissed oil-refining plant in Alaska, totally managed by Jesuits” for safe keeping.

  3. a new rush to the north magnetic pole?
    If this magnetic field stimulation theory has any merit to it, that would make eskimos in N.Canada living astride N magnetic pole the livliest creatures on the planet. Who knows? they may know they have a good thing going and don’t want any tourist hordes running off their food supply. Those folk have no known history of attacking any other country for resources, they live so close to nature and are so affected by climate changes they need all the help they can get from nature to survive. They have managed for 1,000s of years, so they must be doing something right, we the profane and mundane can learn from them.

    1. inuit
      The Inuit, or Eskimo as they are re popularly known, are as good a people as you will find.

      However they live in the most inhospital conditions you will find on this planet. I really don’t think they are priviledged in any way. Instead, they were pushed to live in a dreadful place by the rest of humanity, especially their neighbors.

      Indeed we can learn from them, and from other cultures, how to live with very few resources. But I really don’t believe they got there by their own choice, or because there is something nice about living under the natural arctic conditions. They were just unfortunate, in that the rest of us, including North American Indians, would not let them live anyplace better.

    This does not suprise me! I wonder when they will go public; because, I believe that that is the plan. Pope Benedict XVI has a reason for presuming that he is going to be the last Pope and I believe that this is the reason. Besides, the Christian Church has made itself irrelevant and its lies are catching up to it.

    What do you think?
