Studies have reported that some zen or qigong masters/students can generate nT to 100nT-order magnetic fields under their control. This review finds that the order of magnitude of reported anomalous bio-magnetic fields (from 10-1 nT to 106 nT) have often differed remarkably in papers from the last 11 years. Results, including the authors' own measurements for magnetic fields caused by human hands are discussed. It is suggested that the differences in the order of magnitude of the reported anomalous bio-magnetic fields are influenced mainly by three factors: the rarity of special subjects, so-called 'psychics'; making measurements with or without local shielding of the magnetic field; and variations in the type of detection sensors.
