Stroke Testimonials

A stroke is a kind of brain injury that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is
suddenly interrupted or a vessel bursts. How a stroke affects a person depends on the part of the
brain in which the injury occurs. After a stroke, a person may have a weakness on one side of the
body or trouble with moving, talking or thinking.

I witnessed a profound product experience with the elastomag wrist wrap. I had met a man somewhat by chance and did not realize he had any physical challenges at the time since he was leaning against a wall in a restaurant and we spoke less than two minutes. A couple of months later, he came back to our area for a meeting with his business and he attended one of our Wellness Previews. After the WP, I realized this man had suffered a stoke 4 ½ years before and had 20% use of his right leg and virtually no use of his right hand. I attended his meeting the next morning out of courtesy and curiosity and we continued to talk about Nikken's technologies. We met for breakfast on Sunday morning and I asked him to put the Elastomag Wrist Wrap on his right hand while we were eating breakfast. In less than 5 minutes, this 59 year old man starting to become emotional and moisture was forming in his eyes. I asked if he was all right and he told me his hand was tingling and he had not felt anything in that hand in over 4 years. We finished breakfast and I loaned him the wrap, magsteps, and a magboy and he went back to his hotel to pack for the return trip to his home state. In less than an hour, he called and was literally crying at this point. Again, I asked if something was wrong. He said I would not believe what he was doing at that moment because it was hard for him to believe it and he was doing it. He stated he was making a fist with the hand that had not functioned in over 4 years. He went on to improve over the next few weeks and months and stayed in touch with the changes in his life. He progressed to riding a bicycle up to 2 miles a day, played golf, was able to go without the leg brace, and do exercises his rehab specialist told him he would never do. It all started with, why don't you put this on while we eat? No, recovery wasn't instant but there was enough for him to stay committed to the products. He now has the sleep system and the products he needs.
I know our products help everything but I never expect "quick fixes" nor look for immediate results for the body is complex and only the body can predict the time frame given the right/enough products to be in a position to do what the body was designed to do and that is to fix itself. Some results are seen rather quickly and others take months or even a year to reach full potential. My job is to share what I know, offer encouragement and patience.

I spoke with a gentleman who had suffered a stroke and he had constant pain in his left hand. I put a bracelet on his hand and we continued to talk. About 15 minutes later, he couldn’t believe it. His hand had quit hurting, after hurting for years. He also found that the far-infrared helped his elbow to be more flexible and the magsteps gave him a lot more balance.

I am a RN and have worked with my aunt over the summer and will return again in November. The results are tremendous and every stroke patient should be given the gift of magnets and FIR. First the person must not be a new stroke with active bleeding in the brain. Wait until all brain swelling and bleeding has been subsided. Consult with the primary physician before doing any work with magnets. Use the magboys on the effected side and around the head severely times a day. Spin the magboys without touching the head, you do not have to touch the head with the magboys to get the magnetic field to the brain. The more exposure the better. Use a sleep system and Pillow, necklace, bracelet on the effected side, and magsteps. Talk to the person and tell them when you are touching them to retrain the brain to the area you are touching. What you are doing is retraining the brain to accept the nerve impulses that you are sending from the area you are working on. My Aunt's Dr. told the family to come and say our good-byes as the whole right side of the brain was totally damaged with the hemorrhage and she could not survive. I had reflex movement of the muscles on the effected side within hours of working with her. By the second day she regained consciousness and was talking and recognizing everyone. By the third day she was able to swallow 4 oz of thickened cranberry juice. I had to return to Florida and left the magboys with my cousin to continue working with my Aunt. When I called two days later I asked how she was doing and my cousin said not very well she had lost consciousness again. When I asked if she was still using the magboys she said "NO". I convinced her to start working with the magboys again. It took her three days but my Aunt started talking and recognizing everyone again. She has been moved to nursing home now and I plan on returning again for 2 weeks of intensive magnetic work and training my cousin on how to continue the therapy. Hope this helps, let me know if I can help any further or if this information helps you.

A great article to read over the web is with Dr. Batmanghelidj who wrote the book “Your Bodies Many Cries for Water”. The web site is: http://watercure2.com/sam_biser.htm. Here are some important excerpts from an interview with him:
Batmanghelidj: I'll give you an example from a case I had in the past. It involved a 40-year old woman. She had stroke symptoms all down her left side. Her arms and legs and neck muscles were partially paralyzed. In cases like this, you have to remember that water is a primary nutrient, salt is a secondary nutrient and diet is a third. I told her to immediately drink three whole glasses of water. Within an hour, she had drunk a whole jug - which is 10 glasses of water. Later I gave her some orange juice for some potassium. By the end of the day, I gave her some salt. Her total intake of water on that first day was probably twenty-five glasses. She did the same on the next day. I initially flooded her with water to remove the histamine and prostaglandin effect, which was causing a brain induced spasm of her arterial system. Thank God, the water was able to eliminate all symptoms so that when the doctor examined her, he could not find any evidence of a stroke. To make sure there was no other underlying condition, she was taken to Georgetown hospital, where she was X-rayed, CAT-scanned, and eventually a cerebral angiogram was performed. Nothing was discovered. All this cost her $13,000 in three days - to prove that water cured her - and to make sure that there wasn't any other problem. She was back to normal; she could walk. However, what saved her from a lifetime of complications was adequate water intake at a crucial moment. A person who fears a stroke coming on should drink water instantly as soon as he or she feels weakness on one side. In many health crises, water intake should be immediately and drastically increased. You need the water to increase the water inside the cells. You need the salt to increase the water in the spaces surrounding the cells. And you need the proteins to regulate everything else. In different people, the primary symptoms of dehydration may be something else. It is just a different face on the same problem.

From: Kenko2000@aol.com
In August of 1994 I was diagnosed as having diabetes, which explained my long-standing dusky blue and cold lower legs and feet. In December of 1994 I had a stroke that left me with complete right side immobility. I now refer to that event as my ‘stroke of good luck’. In November of 1995 my major challenges involved stamina, energy and balance; I had regained use of about 80% of my right side. I was introduced to the Nikken’s insoles, MagSteps, and Sleep System, KenkoPad and Kenko Pillow, during that month. My legs and feet became pink and warm almost immediately after inserting the magnetic insoles. And there was (and is) a noticeable improvement in my balance while walking or standing. If I remove the MagSteps and do not get into bed my legs and feet begin to turn dusky blue and cold again. In November of 1995 I was sleeping 12-14 hours for a 5-hour day. Typical of stroke survivors when the ‘gas tank’ went empty I sat down: mentally, emotionally and physically. Within a month of using MagSteps and Sleep System, I was and am sleeping 7-9 hours a night for a 16-hour day. For stroke survivors I recommend:
- Daytime: MagSteps, Kenko Flex, Kenko Seat.
- Nighttime: KenkoPad, Pillow, Quilt, Sleep Mask and Restful Night.
Regarding Stroke survivors I am willing, eager and honored to do 3-ways with the survivor and/or spouse-significant other.

I had a small stroke three years ago and what I found what helped me regain my balance was the FIR belt with the large flex. I moved it to my hip when needed for pain and I also used the necklace. Mine was not a major stroke but I had some loss of movement and had to use a cane for about three weeks.

I would like to share two stories about people I know who have been helped with our products after surviving a stroke. Both are parents of friends of mine, friends who joined me in Nikken.
One lady had a very sever stroke; her daughter did not expect to bring her mother home from the hospital. But we immediately got some products on her; I believe it was the original KenkoSeat under her, and using the Magboy on every extremity and near her head whenever possible. To make a long story short, the mother did come home, and while never fully recovered, did get well enough to even ride a tandem bike with her husband.
The second man would never admit what the products did for him, but I think the story is told by saying what happened about two years after his stroke, when he and his wife went to another state for the summer and did NOT take their KenkoPad with them. (Simply did not ask us to help them move it from their home bed to their fifth-wheel bed!) During that summer he regressed and even had an episode where we feared for his life. When he got back to his home (with KenkoPad on bed) he fully recovered again. I have known many similar results, and would ALWAYS encourage everyone to get magnetic products on anyone with a stroke. On theentire sleep system is best, but do what you can.

I used the elastomag headband with 4 minis (cut the seam and insert inside) in it around the head for day and night wear. Put product on the affected limbs and magsteps in the shoes/ slippers for balance. The sleep system started helping immediately because the body responded to rest and restoration. She started getting her energy back. I suggested not only night time use but periods of rest on it during the day too. The PiMag water really helped with her energy level within a very short period of a few minutes. Then she started to drink the Optimized water and truly sparkled. This helps even with those who have had strokes years ago. I am sure the nutritionals
we have would be very effective especially the Jade GreenZymes.

About three years ago when the magnetic headband first came out, I tried it on someone in my downline who had a stroke 2½ years previously. She tried it for three days and called me to see that she was able to hear out of her left ear, able to use her left hand after that short time. Of course the sooner you get the products on someone after a stroke you will more likely get better results.

I just spent the President's Day weekend with my in-laws and wanted to share a wonderful testimonial with you. My father-in-law suffered a stroke this past Thanksgiving and although it was a mild one, it has had quite an affect on his left arm and hand. He is able to move it, but with difficulty, so he doesn't use it very much. He has physical therapy twice a week and is supposed to continue exercising his arm and hand at home. I love him dearly, but he doesn't do as he should and as a result, his left hand had become somewhat swollen. When we arrived at my in-law's home on Saturday, I was shocked and extremely concerned to discover not only had his hand swelled tremendously, but that it had a blue appearance and was cold to the touch, as well. I am NOT exaggerating when I share that his left hand was twice the size of his right hand. The reason for my concern is that he is diabetic. I had not looked at his feet, but my mother-in-law told me his feet were blue looking and cold, as well. I had just recently received my Biaxial Body Energizer and had taken it, along with the Kenkowave, with me. I put my father-in-law on the Body Energizer and had him use it while I used the Kenkowave on his hand. I would guess that he sat with his feet on the Body Energizer for an hour - maybe a little longer. He told me he liked the way it made his feet feel. I used the Kenkowave on his hand for about 45 minutes, just moving it from one area to another, between his wrist and his fingers. I couldn't really tell any difference in his hand when I completed the use of the Kenkowave - BUT - after about an hour later I noticed the swelling in his hand was reduced. The blue appearance was not as prominent, either, and there was some warmth to his hand, as well. My mother-in-law was amazed and even my skeptical husband had to agree it looked better. The following day, his hand was not nearly as swollen, and I repeated the procedure - feet on the Body Energizer for just over an hour and about 45 minutes on his hand with the Kenkowave. When I checked on his hand about an hour and a half later - the swelling had reduced even more, the blue appearance was gone and it had a rosy appearance to it. It felt nice and warm to the touch, as well. I can't say which produced the greater benefit - the Body Energizer or the Kenkowave - but the result was certainly fantastic!!!!!

I had great success recently with a 94 year old woman who had a stroke. She was already wearing the insoles or it probably would have been worse. We put her on the magnetic mattress and pillow (pillow most important for the magnets near the brain). We had tried the PalmMag on her but she wouldn't use it, yet when the Body Energizer came out she uses that daily. Her therapists were amazed at her progress. Several years ago I used the magnetic headband on someone who had a stroke 2 1/2 years previously. In three days her hearing returned in her left ear and she was able to use her left hand. She had used the insoles previous to this.

If someone has a stroke, have them wear the Nikken Elastomag headband or take a cheap stretchy headband from Wal-Mart and cut a small hole in the seam. Insert 4 Nikken Mini magnets and place them in a 4 point area. Place around the head with a magnet in the front on the forehead and one opposite that with the other 2 minis - one on either side of the head. Wear day and night if they are able to. The woman I worked with did this and had very good results plus she said she looked athletic too. Also a PowerMag at the top of the head either when they lays down (all night if possible) or when someone holds it there several times a day would be very beneficial.
