Over the past several decades, there has been a great deal of research on the subject of magnetic fields, and how such fields can influence biology.
Due to the findings of this research, scientists have been testing “artificially” constructed or “device-generated” magnetic fields, which have been shown to create similar effects as the body’s typical functioning.
Generally, research on device-generated magnetic fields has been directed toward biological illnesses, such as cancer. According to a recent paper by some of the leading scientists studying the effects of magnetic fields (see several links below): “Multiple studies in a variety of systems indicate that magnetic fields can alter biological function.
