Magnetite and Dobson

Most of my EQ prediction was meant to be an overlooked hobby. Dr.Dobson helped me very much with his work in the field of magnetite. I apparently helped him expand his theories also. Dr. D has moved from Australia to Europe where is is doing some adjunct research, but before moving he sent me large envelope of his research findings, many of which are on the web and others not yet published.
My thoughts went in the direction of magnetite nodes in the human brain. This area is not close to being fully explored. Also pools of magnetite were found in some individuals, near the adrenaline gland which could account for a certain sensitivity. I still converse with Dr D once in a while and am anxious for his return to magnetite research....meanwhile here is one method which we were looking at back in 1994 and published in 1996 (*Dr. K is from Stanford):

"The ferromagnetic transduction model proposed by Kirschvink (1) suggests that the coupling of biogenic magnetite particles in the human brain to mechanosensitive membrane ion gates may provide a mechanism for interactions of environmental magnetic fields with humans. Extremely low frequency alternating magnetic fields primarily were considered, and in the model A.C. fields with frequencies below 10 Hz should have minimal effect. We show that pulsed fields, square waves and D.C. fields also could force open the membrane gates long enough to disrupt normal neurophysiological processes. The model may therefore be extended to explain results obtained in studies of epileptic patients which show effects on the central nervous system from low frequency square wave and D.C. magnetic fields. In addition, the model also may provide a plausible mechanism linking exposure to magnetic fields from discontinuous transmission cellular telephones and disruption of normal cellular processes in the human brain.
