The body of a 6-year-old Iranian boy is acting like a magnet,
attracting various metal objects such as spoons as well as some other
objects such as CD-ROMs or remote controls! The magnetic effect is said
to be more prominent in the boy's chest and abdomen.
Matin Darwish lives in Tabriz, northwestern Iran (East Azarbaijan
province). According to his father, Matin's health has been verified by
physicians who have examined him and run tests on him.
Dr. Shahram Dabiri, a nuclear medicine specialist and university professor, talked to IRNA
about this strange and rare phenomenon. According to Dabiri, the
probability that the spinning of protons inside the body cells causes
attraction is there. However, he called this phenomenon abnormal in
general, and he said at least this had never been observed in East
Azarbaijan.
Dabiri also said this is a metaphysical phenomenon and added that it
has likely been created by movement of elements in the body.

Skin is very elastic (that’s why they call it “plastic surgery”) and
tends to conform to objects it comes in contact with. This is especially
noticeable on hot days when bare skin attaches itself to leather or
plastic seats. Skin can also be somewhat adhesive for the same reason.
