In reply... it is easy to tell that it must be silver because of the sudden
reversal of the biomagnetic field when the cord is cut. The silver cord is
the only one that is wound in such a fashion as to generate an external,
measurable field.

Actually, with sensitive enough instruments (liquid helium cooled, to cut
down noise) one can detect the same information in the biomagnetic field as
is present in an electrocardiogram. But one must solve the inverse scattering
problem in order to decrypt the data. One of the secrets of
the mystery of existence (known to only a few select swamis) is that most
fundamental phenomena in the known Universe are understandable only
in terms of either Maxwell's equations or plumbing (and, at high enough
temperatures, both, as in the case of astrophysical plasmas).
