Lupus Testimonials (updated 8-08-08)

I have been dealing with Lupus for several years, and have found a tremendous amount of relief of symptoms while sleeping on the Intelli-Rest Mattress, and also the winter comforter. I also drink a lot of PI water which I know makes a difference too. I am able to work full time with a minimal amount of pain or discomfort, and have much better overall health. My upline wasn't able to use the Intelli-Rest mattress, so I was able to buy it from her. Even my cats are crazy about it, and sleep on my bed all day. I am able to do a three way with anyone that has a prospect who is dealing with this disease, and share my testimony of our products.

The following is a testimonial from one of my upline that has lupus:
Here is the story of my lupus and my experience with the Nikken products and herbs. I was diagnosed with lupus many years ago. For a long time the disease caused aching only occasionally with some headaches and fatigue. However, as the years went on, I was slowly getting worse. In the year before I found Nikken (1994) my feet hurt a lot. In the evening, I could hardly get up out of chair and walk to the kitchen because the bottoms of my feet were so sore and tender. I took early retirement from my teaching job, thinking that getting away from the stress would improve my health. It didn't. Then a neighbor brought me a mattress pad to sleep on, and I thought my energy level was better during the day. I decided to become a distributor so I could purchase a mattress pad at wholesale, but the first thing I bought was a pair of Magsteps. Within a week, all the pain and soreness was gone from my feet and it never returned. Then I met a woman who is an iridologist. She can read the various areas of the body that need nutritional support by looking into the eyes. She put me on an herbal program for chronically reversed polarity. She said she would make a new woman out of me in three months. Within a couple of weeks, I had made a major turnaround in my health. I saw her after I'd been on the program for a month and when she looked at my eyes again, she was shocked. She said, "We never see this much healing this quickly. It always takes a minimum of three months." Then she thought for a moment and realized why I'd gotten the results so quickly. She said, "Oh, it's the
magnets." Now I know that the synergy of the magnets and the proper nutrition can do iraculous things. I no longer feel that I have lupus. I haven't actually had a doctor check it because I don't really care what he would say. I know I feel very well, and I don't have any of the symptoms any more.

Lupus is an inflamatory disease of the connective tissues. It can affect many organ systems including the joints and kidneys. Gluten enteropathy has many of the classic symptoms of lupus and can easily be mistakenly diagnosed as lupus erythematosus. When lupus symptoms are present food allergies and possible gluten enteropathy should be seriously investigated. Our Bio-Directed Joint supplement is very important to take. It’s a natural anti-inflamatory that also adds fluid to the joints. Cetyl Myristoleate (CM) which is in the Joint supplement loosens tight joints & tissues, even lubricates arteries. It’s an anti-inflammatory - even in people where NSAIDS & corticosteroids have not been effective. It’s also a immune system regulator – it calms down hyper-immune responses & regulates immune systems that are not working at optimal levels. It works with arthritis (all types), bursitis, tendonitis, tension headaches. COPD, emphysema, systemic lupus erythermastosus, psoriasis, prostatitis, fibromyalgia, etc.
Also using Magnetic energy and Far-infrared energy from a energy sleep system would provide full body treatment as well. If you go to http://www.garynull.com/Documents/magnets.htm#PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC STUDIES – you will see research studies on Lupus with using magnets.

FROM: peggy_kenko@hotmail.com
Dr. Chuck Cochran who performed the research and wrote the book Arthritis & Cetyl Myristoleate stressed that all forms of arthritis, including osteo and rheumatoid, as well as Lupus and others, are considered a type of auto-immune disease. Your body is attacking
your own cells as though they were foreign bodies. As a result there is a large amount of oxidation waste floating around contributing to the inflammation. The Bio-directed Joint, Antioxidant and Liver are a must for these people. Check out this web site to learn more
about Cetyl Myristoleate and why its changing so many lives so quickly - http://www.kurtin.com/cm/. The Bio-directed Joint compound MUST be taken on AN EMPTY STOMACH!! The joint compound is non-toxic and you can take 10-12 per day at the beginning to jump start the accumulation of this substance in your body. Then, as you feel relief you can decrease down to the 3 per day.

Dr. Cochran explained that people who are taking the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin may be surprised to find that out that less that 10% of the Chondroitin is absorbed by the body. When the original medical studies were performed the Chondroitin was injected, but is not very bio-available when taken orally. That's one of the reasons why the Joint Compound contains the combination of Glucosamine, Cetyl Myristoleate and Methyl Sulfonylmethane and not Chondroitin.

I have (lupus and fibromyalgia) and was desperate to find something to relieve my discomfort, besides being so extremely tired and weak. I'm not sure which symptoms to relate to which problem, but I do know that together they are very debilitating. I started on the sleep system in March of 2000, and also the neck wrap, insoles and nutrition (liver support, joint and vitamins). I received almost immediate relief and by the third day I no longer required the strong medication for pain. Today I don't even take aspirin or Tylenol. I'd had kidney failure, liver problems and developed a heart condition before I was introduced to these products. Now I consider myself quite healthy. The products give me such complete relief, I can enjoy the good things in life once more.

I have experience with degenerative disc disease in my neck and spine, arthritis, and fibromyelitis. These problems are secondary disorders subsequent to my diagnosis of systemic lupus. I have used the sleep system (deluxe mattress, FIR comforter, kenko pillow, and sleep mask) and have found tremendous benefits in the level of discomfort in my back and neck. I also wear one of the magnetic necklaces, wear the magsteps, use the magnetic seat pad at work and at home, take the nutritionals, and drink plenty of pi-water.

Fifteen years ago my life began to spiral out of control, gradually at first then speeding up to hyper warp speed. In 1998 I had exhausted all the bag of tricks conventional medicine had, all they had to offer me were powerful drugs that kept me in a fog for almost two years before Nikken came along. Two unsuspecting WC came to my front door thinking they were coming to see a person who had a neck fusion and fibromyalgia, much to their surprise and fear they found themselves facing a much greater challenge even than that. I also have Lupus. They sat there in shock after hearing everything that was challenging my life at that time. They later told me they were thinking:
1) We could just leave and admit being over whelmed or
2) We can throw everything we have on her and see what happens.
Fortunately for me, they chose the second option and put everything they had and could get on me and my bed. Being a trained Physicist and having spent a number of years working with magnets and infrared it is a total understatement to say that I was skeptical. But my wonderful husband who desired nothing more than to have his wife back and would have been willing to pay the ultimate price for me to regain any quality of life, said what do you have to lose? Nothing but a lot of drugs and pain! So I tried the products. Needless to say my response to the products was nothing short of miraculous! I had not driven in over six years, could not travel, had no interest in life at all, thought that I would never see my grandchildren or even be there for our three son's weddings. Within a week my life was making a dramatic turn around. I was taking less and less medication and feeling like a person with a reason to live again. After two weeks on the products, I was at our church helping with a Halloween Party and hayride. Without a second thought when the kids loaded up on the back of the trailer I jumped on with them (yes, jumped!). A little ways down the road I thought Carol this might not be the smartest thing you've ever done. But you know what? I came home that night not knowing what kind of shape I would be in the morning but to my surprise and excitement I suffered no ill effects from the bumpy-ride on the back of that trailer. But being the trained scientist that I am, I felt I had to do an experiment to know that it was definitely the products and not just a fluke because that is the nature of my challenges. They wax and wane, so you don't know when you might just be having a good spell. Ron took everything off the bed and all the FIR and magnetics off my body and I went to bed only to wake up about 2 hours later feeling like an 18-wheeler had run over me. He quickly grabbed everything up - put the sleep system on our bed and everything else on me. I slept for about 2 more hours and awoke feeling refreshed and alive. Am I cured of the challenges I live with? No, but instead of them having me - I am in control of them. I have not taken anything for pain since starting on the products two years ago. I recently had to visit a hemotologists and he looked at the list of diseases I live with everyday and then the medications that I take. He asked me over and over if I took anything for pain and I kept telling him, "No Finally after about the fifth time I looked at him and said, "Look, I left pain meds behind 2 years ago and now if I hurt I reach for a magnet or CM cream or magboys or if its drastic the TENS unit. But never a pain pill." He said that he wished more of his patients did that instead of opting for major narcotics. Did I mention that he is also an oncologists, so he sees some REALLY sick people! In the two years that I have been using the Nikken products I have not been in the hospital once which was a regular occurrence before. I have not even been sick and in need of an antibiotic in the two years. That had been totally unheard of my entire life even before the onset of some major diseases. And by the way I know I will be around to see my grandchildren. Not just see them but able to enjoy them and remember the experience. I am now a woman with a mission. A mission to share Nikken with anyone that will stop long enough to listen. If I spent the rest of my life sharing Nikken with everyone I can it would not give back to Nikken anything to compare with what Nikken has given me- My Life back!

I just wanted to tell you about a woman who has benefited greatly from the use of our products. When I first met her about 8 weeks ago she was in a lot of pain, particularly in her feet. She is 23 yrs old, registered disabled with Lupus and has suffered from it for 2 years. She asked me if I would help her. I loaned her a sleep system and asked her to buy a pair of insoles. Within a couple of days only, she reported an improvement in her condition. She was fairly negative and skeptical at the time I loaned her the products butafter only a couple of days, there were signs that she was responding to the products she had. People started to notice that she was walking better and this spurred her on. The cumulative effects of having our products around her, plus her other self-help strategies of going to do Pilates twice a week, regular Reflexology treatment and following the doctor's advice regarding diet/nutrition have resulted in a 70% improvement in her condition. She is a lovely, warm person and her personality has blossomed during the 8 weeks I have known her. She feels so much better and therefore, more positive about life. She said to me the other day 'you have made such a difference to my life that I can passionately tell others about these products and what they have done for me'. Isn't it wonderful when you can make a positive difference to another fellow human being's life? There's great work to be done.

One of my wellness consultants, Debi Brown forwarded this testimonial to me. Susan
My name is Tina Wootten. In Nov. 2000, I had a major health crisis. I became crippled, barely walking with a cane, debilitating pain, ulcerations in my mouth and esophagus. I was out on chemotherapy and high dose steroids. In Feb. 2001 I experienced a Lupus vasculitis to the brain. I had expressive aphasia. I truly did not think I would survive the year. My childhood friend Debi Brown got me introduced to Nikken magnetic products and they helped her with her back and neck. I am on disability so my finances are limited especially during a disease crisis due to the cost of medication and co-pays. She initially bought me the magnetic insoles, these energized me so that I could walk a little more distance and with less leg discomfort. She bought me the magnetic pearl earrings tohelp my brain involvement and has given me PiMag concentrate water to help my mouth ulcerations. I bought the magboy and magcreator and use them every day of my life now to roll out my discomfort. I can get immediate relief. My plan now is to take better care of myself and try to wean myself off the medication. There is no cure for my disease but these products have helped me along and I have my dear friend to thank for it.

Hi, when I was in another MLM with barley as their star product where there were lots of testimonials on lupus, so JGZ taken in enough volume should enable the lupus diseased body to heal itself. Lupus, as with most diseases is a mineral deficiency of one or more minerals. How much? At least two tbsps a day, I like it best in grape juice. And to aid the process I'd eat red grapes every day in moderation.

My daughter has Lupus and last Christmas I bought several items for her -- a sleep system (just the mattress pad rather than a full mattress), water bottle, CM Cream, MagBoys, various sizes of the Kenko magnetic promo pads, long johns, neck scarf and gloves, and the eye mask. She looked at everything with a doubtful eye and said she would try them but for me to understand that they probably would not work. Before I left her that evening I told her to put the CM Cream on her hands, ankles and feet. She called me the next morning so excited she could barely talk. It seems that every day when she would awaken her hands would be terribly swollen and so painful that she would not even be able to hold a toothbrush. Likewise, her feet and ankles would be terribly swollen and caused a throbbing pain. This particular morning, having rubbed the CM Cream as I had suggested, she awoke with absolutely no swelling and no pain! She loves all the products I took to her but the cream was an instant success.

I have lupus. The products that help me the best are the sleep systems, especially the comforter, the necklace and insoles for energy. Any other products for what hurts. I take Kenzen, GreenZymes, Liver, Joint and Immunity.

I gave Joint to a friend with advanced lupus, and she said she felt better than she had in 2 years. Don't expect immediate results. It may take 2 months or longer to obtain satisfactory results.

From Diamond Barry Weinhouse:
Tuesday night in Melville New York I witnessed a miraculous product response and the heart of the man responsible. Anthony Bovay is the engineer responsible for the magnetic products we distribute. He was kind enough to accept an invitation to share his experiences with our technology and with Nikken, and incidentally bring along for demonstration the new body energizer. At the beginning of the preview I asked for a show of hands of new people and a lady in the front row raised her hand, I commented on her bravery. I then asked if any one was hurting, and again she raised her hand, her left hand that is. She proceeded to list her complaintsincluding her back hand and shoulder. "I can't raise my right arm." I reflected on Linda and my beginnings with Nikken almost ten years ago. I then introduced Anthony and he took over. Meanwhile the lady in the front row after about fifteen minutes on the body energizer took her seat. Out of the corner of my eye I saw that "deer in the headlights" look on her face and while Anthony continued, she raised both arms over her head and proceeded to cry. Incidentally she told me afterwards she suffers from Lupus. This was only one of a number of instantaneous responses that evening.

My wife, Suzanne, has had Lupus for over 20 years. In that time she has she has been taking about thirteen drugs a day and various pain medications. In the middle of those 20 years she developed cancer. Having Lupus and Cancer at the same time caused some serious complications. Thank God, a wonderful surgeon and my wife’s positive attitude - she is a cancer survivor. The Lupus though seemed to be getting worse. She experienced very painful joints and a lack of energy. In the mornings she would get up in pain and be very shaky on her feet, and having to hold the wall for balance. One day she went out shopping and had a seizure - with one every year for the next five years. They don’t know what caused them, but it was probably a Lupus flare up. She had to leave her job and go on disability. A specialist tested her for sleep patterns and found out she wakes every 10 minutes. The Doctor said that this was definitely a trigger for seizures. Things all changed when a lady named Joyce Barron, a friend from Dale Carnegie, called me and asked if I ever kept my optionsopen. I won’t go into all the particulars, but at the first meeting my wife sat on the Body Energizer. The swelling in her feet went away along with the pain and also the pain in her neck. The next meeting Joyce gave her a roll out and put her to sleep. We knew we had to get a Nikken Wellness Home. It is now more than a year and a half later. No more seizures, sleeps through the night, off half of her medications, and we have not taken a pain reliever since we joined the business and bought a Nikken Wellness Home. My wife has gained 10 years back on her life. People who knew her 10 years ago cannot believe the difference. An important side note. My wife has been on OsteoDenx for three months. She just had her blood work done. The results just blew us away. The Doctor said that there was an increase in her red blood cell count and that her bone marrow was very good. Something we
hadn’t heard before.

These pictures are quite graphic. The young girl is from Singapore , and there they call Lupus, "SLE". What a dramatic effect our products can have on a life! The business side of Nikken may start slowly, but if you persevere, people far and wide will have their lives changed. Here is how this girl got helped:
1. My daughter was helped from chronic fatigue and I became committed to share the products AND the business. I am nowa Diamond.
2. A close friend was getting her Doctorate, didn't want to join, but became a consultant after I loaned her a sleep system andher back improved dramatically. (After borrowing it for a 2nd time, as her husband thought he "couldn't sleep", whenactually he just woke up earlier as he was more refreshed") She is now a Platinum. 3. She sponsored a mutual friend who got immediate relief from the magboy with a frozen shoulder. She is now a Gold.
4. She sponsored an acquaintance who got immediate relief from laryngitis using a mini. (After having been loaned the sleep system for 6 months and never using it!!!) She is now a Platinum.
5. She sponsored her sister in Singapore , who had retired early from teaching because of a horrible bad back. She got great
relief and is now an active Silver.
6. She sponsored her brother who was looking for a part time business.
7. He sponsored a friend at work who also was looking for a business.
8. He loaned the products to a dying man who got great relief in his final time on earth.
9. His daughter joined Nikken and is the one who helped this young girl. She is a Muslim housewife with 6 kids (4 or 5 stilllive at home.) I was welcomed there 2 years ago and this petite woman is so inspiring. She has since gone Platinum. No one would have been helped if the vision and business side of Nikken hadn't also been shared along with the amazing products. So
if you keep sharing, you just never know who you might help. And you might build a global business too!

D.O.B: 7th July 1994
Diagnosed with SLE in early 2007
I was really sick. I visited many doctors but they cannot detect my sickness.
Till one day, I was told that I suffer from SLE from SGH.
My body felt as if I was dead. I had no energy and my body was dehydrated. I only lie restlessly on the bed with tubes all around me. I was giving up as I was told by the doctors that this disease has no cure. And it is rare among teenagers. I was always groaning in pain without energy and felt hopeless. I got some fits and low blood pressure. My kidneys were not functioning very well. And there were water around my heart. I started to forget things, like the dates, days and months. Life was hard, and I nearly gave up till Sariyah came.

Reflections after using NIKKEN my health improved tremendously. After drinking the optimized water, I can sleep easier in hospitals at night. I gain a lot of energy and I urinated a lot.
I can talk and make jokes more. I can understand more things that were taught to me.
After finishing the samples of water from Sariyah, I began to ask for more. Besides the wonderful fresh taste it has, it gave me a lot of strength to survive the day easily. Without hesitation, I persuaded my parents to buy me a set of NIKKEN Water System for the benefit of my health. And effectively, it helped me quite a lot. Although I still feel very restless at times, it helps me reduce the pain. After months using NIKKEN, my mother got a token from Sariyah. It is called greenzymes. At that time, I did not take it as I have lots of other medicines to take. Till one day, which is around early February 2008, I remembered about it and started taking it. It does taste yucky but it really helps me. It gave me the strength I have been longing for since I became sick. I felt like as if I was back like last time, so energetic. I was not as tired in school and I can participate in more activities without much hesitation. I feel so blessed and the changes encouraged me to continue having enzyme and drinking the optimized water. After months using NIKKEN, my mother got a token from Sariyah. It is called greenzymes.
