The body is an electromagnetic organism with a direct current (DC) central nervous system in which the brain with its neuronal bodies is a positive magnetic field and, also produces a positive electric field. The extensions from the neuronal bodies are a negative magnetic field and also produces a negative electric field. The human body does not have a storage battery from which electricity flows or an electric dynamo from which electricity flows. Rather, by a mechanism comparable to a magneto, the human body turns its magnetic fields into DC electric current. It is also true that each cell of the body has a positive and negative magnetic field in its DNA. Since the human body functions on a DC electromagnetic circuit, it is especially appropriate to use the positive (+) and negative (-) identification of magnetic polarity when relating magnetism to the human body. The human body does not have a north and south poled field, but rather has positive and negative magnetic fields from which electricity is produced. A geographic definition of magnetic polarity is not applicable to human physiology whereas an electromagnetic definition of magnetic polarity is essential. If and when the geographic definition of polarity is used, it still requires a translation into usable terminology for application to human physiology.

For the above reasons the definitions of positive (+) and negative (-) magnetic fields are used when applying magnetics to human physiology. Physicists who are not conversant with the application of magnetics to human physiology continue to use the traditional geographic definition rather than having translated this into a useful electromagnetic definition applicable to human magneto electric physiology. The identification of positive and negative magnetic fields is applicable at all levels of biological function such as total body, tissue, cellular and atomic.

It is necessary to understand the navigational error in identifying the magnetic poles as well as the parallel identification in identifying DC electric current poles and DC static field permanent magnet poles made from the DC current. To those who have examined for and identified the distinctly opposite biological responses to opposite magnetic pole fields, the separate identification of the magnetic poles is an important must. To those physicists and others not experienced in the knowledge of separate biological responses to opposite magnetic poles, the magnetic pole identification is not significant. Knowledge of the separate biological responses to opposite magnetic poles and the gauss levels needed for these responses is what is making biophysics become a predictable science parallel to the predictable industrial application of magnetics.
