Mesmerism (Image by Google)
     I thought the expression "Animal Magnetism" referred to a special kind of sexual attraction of one animal towards another. Blame Shrek's Donkey for that.
     Turns out that this is another name for Mesmerism or Biomagnetism, originally studied by Antoine Mesmer (1734 - 1815), which can be defined as the reciprocal action of two living beings through an intermediate, a special agent, called the magnetic fluid. This was a science well known in ancient Egypt, where it was practiced as part of religious mysteries.
     This science states that the human body is capable of producing magnetic fields of the order of nanoteslas (10^9 T), which can be measured and used for treatments and diagnosis.
