This is an article by Dr. William Philpott that explains the current terminology used by many of us who use magnets for health improvement. In our terminology, the north magnetic pole is in the north - near the true north pole. The N end of a compass needle will point to this pole. As opposites attract, it is actually the south pole of the needle that is labeled N and is north-seeking. This north-seeking needle will also point to the north pole of a bar magnet, and to the north face of a flat magnet. This north pole we call "negative" and it is the pole usually used for health improvement, particularly cancer self treatment.
"Negative magnetic polarity energy -- this is identified as
the side at a flat surface magnet with poles on opposite sides or
end of a bar magnet that registers negative (-) on a
magnetometer. This is also the same energy as the true physical
north magnetic pole of the earth. This is opposite to the north
seeking pole of a compass needle, which was originally wrongly
named north pole when in fact the north seeking pole of a bar
magnet (compass needle) is south pole since opposites attract.
"Positive magnetic polarity energy -- this is identified as
the side of a flat surface magnet with poles on opposite sides or
end of a bar magnet that registers positive (+) on a
magnetometer. This is also the same energy as the true physical
south magnetic pole of the earth. This is the same as the north
seeking pole of a compass needle.
"This is to avoid the "semantic confusion" when using north
and south positive compass needle pointing north which was
misidentified as north pole by navigators as in fact a south pole
seeking the north pole of the earth. This follows the
recommendations and use of several authors, especially those
interested in the biological responses to magnetism, electricity
and ionization and provides the consistency of parallel
biological responses to the specific separate pole and/or energy
of positive and negative electricity, magnetism and ionization.
"Parallels are the negative poles of a DC circuit, negative
pole of a magnet,and negative ionization. Biological responses
to a negative magnetic field, magnetic electric pole and negative
ionization.
"A magnetic pole identified by a magnetometer as position
(+), is the same magnetic energy as the true physical south
magnetic pole of the earth and is the same as the north seeking
pole of a bar magnet (compass needle). Parallels are the
positive pole of a DC circuit, positive pole of a magnet and
positive ionization. Biological responses to a positive magnetic
field, positive electric pole and positive ionization are
parallel."
