Comparing and choosing magnets - it's so confusing!

​So, you've been told we need 1 000 Gauss or higher when selecting magnets for Biomagnetic Pairs work. It's the requirement that Dr Goiz tells us, and you want to make sure you're getting effective magnets.

You look around and you see magnets at 5 000 Gauss, 10 000, 13 000 gauss and more, and think - "Great, the stronger the better!"

Well, that's not true at all, as the 1000 gauss magnet works exactly the same on Biomagnetic Pairs as the 2000 Gauss. A complete de-activation to zero in the same amount of time.

Now if you were to hold a 3,000 surface gauss pair of magnets, you would likely be unable to pull them apart... and you see people are selling higher gauss too!!! How can people use them????

This is where people get confused. Dr Goiz is speaking about "Surface Gauss" and so I stick to this measurement and check the magnets with an electronic Gaussmeter.

The high numbers you see on other sites are "Internal Gauss", the stronger core which decreases drastically by the time it reaches the surface. So those magnets you're buying with crazy high strength have UNKOWN surface gauss. You'll have to buy a meter and check after peeling the cover back... to be sure!

So to be clear - when shopping for magnets you'll need to clarify with the seller. What is the surface gauss? (You'll find that professionals use 1000 - 2000 range only, and the lower end is safer for beginners.)

Cheap Chinese sellers of uncovered magnets nearly always give you understrength magnets from 250-400 gauss through unethical advertising. Completely useless for what we do!
I hope this helps!
I created a shop with Biomagnetism Australia to overcome issues like these and make it simple for Aussies to start bringing Biomagnetism into their homes and practices!
