This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I am 59. I have had secondary progressive MS since 1983. I have spent the last four years researching and experimenting with magnets, electromagnetic fields, and steel. I am a qualified engineer in retirement because of MS. I have a wealth of experience of this science, and can contnue as follows -

When we sleep at night our bodies are approximately stationary with respect to the Earths magnetic field and horizontal. Draw a horizontal line on a piece of paper using a ruler. This is the blood brain barrier, BBB. The area above the line mark blood and below the line mark as myelin. Now, again using the ruler draw a line at some angle you choose so that it bisects the first. Call the angle of this line to the horizontal theta. This represents the angle of dip of the Earths magnetic field. Now draw a chain of circles on the part of this second line in the blood portion. About 8 or 10 touching eachother. These circles represent a chain of magnetite molecules touching the blood brain barrier at night. They are supported by the Earths magnetic field. They are not moving with the blood because of lamina flow. In this situation there would be no damage caused to the BBB. They are held in contact with the myelin because of gravity. Mark an arrow vertically downwards from the point of intersection g. Read on part 3.

However, endothelial cells form the blood brain barrier and there are no myelinated axons there. Therefore, magnetite in the blood could not be in direct contact with myelin.
