Jonathan - here is a site giving some info on commercial ceramic magnet manufacture and composition: http://www.siusa.com/magnet/fc.ceramic.html. Only an infintesimal fraction of magnetic ore could be of biological origin; normal geothermal processes are responsible for iron ore deposits. Gross magnetism of magnetic ore is due to the earth's magnetic field, while microscopic scale magnetism is a spontaneous effect owing to the quantum-mechanical nature of the material. What experience health-wise have you found using the EMX stuff?
