 Could Erik test the idea of positive vs negative for us? (see below).  If
 the +ve -ve ness of it made a difference, he might get a stop sooner or
 later?  - but be careful ! The stop might be that he doesn't wake up ;>?  Or
 it could make his CFS even worse (i've forgotton what CFS is?)

Bob:
CFS = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which robs quality of life & sometimes life
of the "victim".  i'm told that reversing the polarity of a reltively strong
7-8 gauss sleep system stimulates the brain, causing drug-like
over-cerebration symptoms & eventually death.  I don't recommend Erik or
anyone else try it,.

Stefan:
>excuse me, but if the magnet's north pole ('negative')  is pointing at a
 pole, it means that pointed-to-pole is south and therefor positive.  For a
 second, I thought you had invented perpetual motion Bob ;>)

bob:
The north pole of a magnet (or a compass) is positive & seeks the north pole
of the earth, which is negative, yes?

 Sefan:
>Actually, its made a lot easier if when in the southern hemisphere you stand
 on you head, run with your arms and eat with your feet!  Of course
 elimination could be a problem.  More seriously tho, if the direction of the
magnetic field made a difference  then we would feel better and become
healthier by the direction we face. This brings new meaning to Seng Fein .

Bob:
If we're in a negative magnetic field, the position of our body does not
change the field to positive, correct?

'ealth & 'appiness,
