Abstract
Biological effects of magnetic fields are classified into three categories; the effects of (1) time-varying magnetic fields, (2) DC or static magnetic fields, and (3) the multiplication of both static fields and other energy such as light and radiation. For each category, a different strategic approach is required to shed light on biomagnetic effects1. Presently, biological effects of DC, or static, magnetic fields are poorly understood.
