The magnetic fields are stronger. So this is not true.

Not true, but a low magnetic field may increase mutation rates.

Interesting. Can you document your sources.

Wrong. There is a very thin layer of superconduction material at the boundry
of solid earth and liquid earth. This material is charged randomly due
to piezoid electrical discharge caused by earth quakes. The discharge can
create an electrical field lasting up to 9 million years. It can also
be reversed every million years.

True life dies out when the magnetic fields approach zero during a flip
cycle, but it does not die out completely. So this statement is unwarrented.

wrong. Magnetic field may be useful to "orient" but most movement is
random. Bacteria can "learn" that it gets food on the dark side of a
container. So stimulus-response would be a more useful idea than magnetism.

Iron, is related to cancer.

I predict if you placed a rat in a totally protected environment under high
oxygen with NO IRON in its diet that it would live LONGER than other rats.

The same way the store gold on the outside of there bodies. This does
support you idea.

Blood flow would likely be more important.

granted that bacteria will orient toward magnetic field and oscillating
radio fields. The underlining reason could be the transport mechanisms in
the microtubulines, which may be related to motor or nerve impulses.

If you placed a rat on the space station and rotated in a box for 30 days
the bones would not deteriorate due to lack of gravity or magnetism.
They would be normal if you feed them.

This could be easy to check out experimentally. If the results do not
support your idea what would you do next? Give up your idea?

True, but due to the reason you have suggested. The radiation is so intense
that astronauts have trouble sleeping from the FLASHES in their eyes from
cosmic rays.

Granted that movement of babies increases their growth rate, but necessarily
due to magnetic field modulation.

Since SIDS is multiple caused by different factors, you magnetic no movement
may be one out of a thousand cases.

I have a very low movement level, I beleive it only caused me to get fat.

heat? Heat may be criticial to control ossillations in the microtubulines.

We over look alot. True that magnetic field may be used by the DNA to
help cell division, but it does not necessarily support the strength of
the model you are suggestion.
With revision, careful documentation, and "suggestion" that magnetic field
"may" have some of the effects you suggested would go a long way to
have people listen to your ideas. Granted that they are NOT totally without
merit, but you must remember at people "orient" themselves to ideas and
experimental information. If you do not present you model in the
politically correct way it is likely that you will never live long enough to
find general acceptance of you model during your life even if you are
totally correct.
