Thx Mathias, do you know were I can get good medical magnets at a
reasonable cost? I have a couple of 1/2 x 1/2" round strong neodymiums
which when taped between the eyes with North pole touching the skin as per
Dr Philpot do seem to provide very good sleep. Being so small the south
field must be interfering in the process. Any suggestions on how reduce the
south pole effect in such an application??
