Ferromagnetic material with high saturation and permeability.

You can use galvanized steel.

Try a search on "Magnetic Field Shielding"

Yes, holding a magnet will attract the iron in your blood, but iron is bound in huge hemoglobin molecules in low concentration. I think that the pumping force of the blood easily overcomes the magnetic attraction.

Redirect and concentrate the field, yes, block the field, no.

Good question on the magnet as it relates to iron in the blood. I don't know the answer to that one - I'll check back and see what your other answerers come up with.
