Heart Conditions (updated 5-10-10)

CHF (congestive heart failure) often is seen as shortness of breath, inability to do normal activities without tiring, swelling of the lower legs, ankles and feet. I have had several experiences with this problem. The Far-infrared helps tremendously with the feeling of shortness of breath. Wearing a round max magnet over the chest goes a long way. Magstep insoles are very important on the feet during the day and even in the socks at rest. The heart muscle is tired and unable to pump blood in the usual volume, this "fluid", backs up into the lungs. This can also be caused by a leaky or stiff heart valve, or by an irregular heart rhythm. Our products don't change the anatomy of the heart, or fix the arrhythmia, but it does help the body deal with the fluid issue. We can make exercise better tolerated, and help with energy. The Sleep System is always the best choice because it helps the whole system and these people are
forced to be at rest for prolonged periods. It helps the body to be much stronger and work more efficiently.

My friend John, suffered a stroke about 8 years ago and has also had 4 heart attacks since that time. As I started giving the magnetic massage, it became immediately apparent that his "stoke side" was very sensitive to the pressure I was applying. I decreased the pressure initially but found that as the process continued, I could increase the pressure almost to a "normal" level. He did experience some tingling in the stroke side, and said that overall it felt good.  Then came the exciting part! As John sat down on the couch, I put Magsteps under his stocking feet, and took out and placed both of the Magboy massage unit balls in his "stroke side" hand. I took several minutes asking him benchmarking questions and then turned my conversation to his wife, a nurse. After talking to her for about 15 minutes, John blurted out, "I'll be d---ned!" Turning back towards him we saw that he had his stroke-side arm up over his head. He then said, "I have not been able to get that arm more than horizontal to my body since the stroke without helping it with my good arm!" He said that he was still feeling the tingling sensation in that entire side. John is still in the process of saving enough money to buy all of the products that he would like to have, but he and
his wife were definitely able to come away with an informed opinion of what the products can do, which is quite often the very best that we can as for in a product experience.

According to Dr. Alvin Bakst, the one time chief of heart surgery at New York City's Flower-Fifth Avenue Hospital says that magnets should be worn all the time. Doctors have always said to take aspirin; I believe in the near future, we will be told to wear magnets on the chest and elsewhere because they work like aspirin.  Dr. Alvin Bakst said, "Fifteen years ago, when it was suggested you could use a magnetic field to diagnose illness within the body, the
notion was pooh poohed. It became an MRI, and now its the most effective diagnostic tool in medicine."

I have to tell everyone about my step-father who recently had a minor heart attack, but didn't tell us at first. When I heard the news, my mother and I put resources together and got both of them on the sleep system - pad, pillow and quilt. I knew this would help with the heart condition. This was about 1 month ago and he’s doing so much better. My mother, went to the doctor for her regular blood  pressure check-up and the doctor told her that her pressure was 100/70 - the lowest it has been in years! She also says she is sleeping better than she has in years. The next time she goes to the doctor, she is going to tell him about the magnetic pad she's sleeping on and give him some info. Trying to help one person, I helped another also. This is reason enough to do Nikken.

When I first went on the Nikken products (over 3 years ago) I experienced rapid heart beat. Fortunately for the Nikken life I've enjoyed the past three years, I did not stop at thinking it was the products that caused the rapid heart beat, because it was NOT. I looked at the "side effects list" of the two prescription drugs I was on at the time and saw that BOTH of them had a side effect of rapid heart beat.  Think this through. We know that Nikken products help our bodies to work more efficiently whatever we put into them. That's why we can take lower doses of drugs and still have them be just as effective. Conversely, the same amount of drug (like the pills I was on) has GREATER effect. Thus it is clear that it was the DRUGS that were causing my rapid heart beat, not the magnets.  All I did was cut back on the drugs (eventually eliminating them altogether) and no more rapid heart beat. Another thing to consider if there is rapid heart beat is if someone is drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages.

In December 1991, I found I had a very serious blood sugar problem requiring injections each day to keep it under control. During the next two years I learned to handle this illness and keep it as close in control as possible.
In November, 1991, I had surgery on an ankle for discomfort in the ankle area on the left foot, which was to be followed by surgery on the right ankle, left and right wrists and left and right elbows. The first surgery (on the left ankle) was not successful, resulting in the feeling not returning to the toes, or the bottom on my foot and heel, not able to lift my foot when walking, excessive swelling from the toes to the hip, and extreme discomfort, the extent I was unable to walk without using a cane, walker or wheel chair.  This severe discomfort continued and in June 1992, I started experiencing discomfort over my entire body in the muscles and tendons  as well as in the head area. I was unable to lie down in bed at night, so slept in a recliner for 2 ½ years with my foot elevated on ice for the discomfort. I had severe discomfort in the colon area, which was blocked and my stomach swollen and distended. I then found I had a disease in the muscles and tendons over my whole body, including the colon area, jaws and teeth and fluid build-up in the head area.  In March of 1993 I had an attack with permanent damage to my heart. During this time I was having more and more problems just being able to lead a normal life. I was unable to do my housework, laundry, grocery shopping or cooking meals. I had always loved to work in the lawn and with my flowers, mowing over five acres + 2 lawns each week. Many times while on a short vacation or even to Des Moines to eat out or shop, Jerry had to take me to an emergency room in a hospital wherever we were near. I could only ride in the car for maybe 30 to 40 minutes before I had to get in back and lie down. We had to sell my favorite car (a Thunderbird) because I could not get my leg in and out of the car by myself. After getting stranded a couple of times I couldn’t drive alone again.  My worst times were at night … Jerry would stay up with me (sometimes only getting maybe 2 hours sleep a night and working all day). My blood pressure would run extremely high and I filled with fluid around the heart area. My blood sugar was out of control, taking 7 to 10 injections each day with 3 different insulin's. The discomfort was unbearable at times, even to the point of going unconscious.  From January to July of 1993 I had five injections in the ankle area. In August, 1993, I had five injections in the ankle area. In August 1993, found the bone in the foot, leg and hip was deteriorating (honeycombed) from the loss of calcium. At this time I was
given four injections into the spine area 10 days apart. About a month later the discomfort had reached a level of severity I could barely endure.  In February 1994 the specialist I saw for discomfort called and wanted Jerry and I to come to his office. I had just had a test on the veins in my leg to see if they were blocked (which they weren’t) and I was hoping he had found something that would take away the discomfort. When we went to see the specialist, he told me my physical condition was serious or critical, the medical profession could do no more for me. The discomfort I was in could cause me to have another attack with y heart, or my high blood pressure could cause serious problems and my blood sugar problem was critical. He had talked to my physician at home, as well as the one that had done the vein study, and had set me up “as needed” for injections of a narcotic for discomfort. She would take 1 to 3 nitro’s a day.  The pain specialist said they had done all they could do and she should get her life in order, she wasn’t going to make it. She would use a walker, cane, wheel chair and they were going to amputate her leg.  About three weeks later, the latter part of March 1994, a Nikken distributor learned about me and came to see me. She had a set of Nikken magboys with her and spun them over my ankle area. I could feel some difference … she also had a video I saw called “Humans Being More”. We watched the video … then I did something I would normally never do without consulting Jerry … I BOUGHT ABOUT $1,100.00 WORTH OF NIKKEN PRODUCTS!!. When I told him what I had done, his “thought” was “if she thinks it will help, it’s o.k.” AND IT DID!!!  Since then Jerry and I have come a long way to total wellness with Nikken. (I also have my foot and leg, which were bad enough a well-known surgeon suggested amputation). Now my blood pressure has gone down. I have my feeling back in my toes, I haven’t taken muscle medicine for 3 years, and when my doctor examined me he said he could see no sign of ever having a heart attack, my heart was perfect.  The “secret to success” with Nikken Wellness Products is to use them wherever you have a discomfort. DON’T use them for one day,  one week, one month, then decide they don’t work and leave them in the drawer or on the shelf in the closet; that drawer or that shelf doesn’t have a discomfort, you do. Please let it work for you as it has worked for us and for the people we have contacted that are also leading a better quality life because of Nikken Wellness Products. Another thing to remember is … “You can’t put a price on your health, it is priceless!”  We feel since Nikken put quality back in our lives and gave me back my life, we should let people know and experience what Nikken has to offer. Each time we find someone experiencing their “Miracle” we get another “Million Dollar Bonus” … we are happy you are sharing our Nikken “Miracle” just by reading this letter.
Love…. Jerry and Gayla

This message was just posted to my guest book from a friend of mine in Australia! Message posted by Rod & Pauline Hyatt : Greetings from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia where it is always warm and friendly :-) I (Rod) recently (October 18th 2000) had a stint put in my right coronary artery, which had an 85% blockage. It is a very simple operation. Usually done in day surgery. A catheter is inserted in the groin, some dye injected, and then a tube is pushed up through the artery while the doctor looks at a monitor to discover where the problem is. When found, a small tube (stint) about 3/4 inch long and less than 1/16 inch in diameter is inserted into the trouble spot and then a balloon inserted to expand it. The most uncomfortable part is after the operation. You are supposed to lie flat, no movement for six hours after they remove the catheter. I smuggled in a Nikken mini and put it over the spot where the catheter had been removed. The amazing thing was that a huge bruise appeared on my groin where they had pushed and prodded trying to find the artery, but the catheter site where I had put the mini was clear. I was also able to move after two hours, not six. The nursing staff were amazed at the effect of the humble Nikken mini and asked a lot of questions. The drugs they give during the op also usually give one a headache as they wear off, but once again the Nikken mini came to the rescue. I tied it under a bandana across my forehead - looked like a kamikaze pilot :-) This works for migraines as well. I used to suffer them badly - but not since Nikken. Since the op, I have a lot more energy, don't get breathless and have no blood pressure problems. A lot of the improvement is due to better
health management using magnets and FIR products, better nutrition (no more pizzas, burgers or pasta - more natural raw foods and fruits) and a willow bark tablet (instead of aspirin) every day. Pauline has also had remarkable results. She has had petit mal seizures since 12 years of age, usually once a month. These 'brainstorms' incapacitated her for 3 to 5 days. Last month we taped a mini over her left temple area and she was functioning normally within 24 hours. Nikken has brought back the balance in our lives. The only regret we have is that we didn't discover Nikken sooner.

My wife had a stint installed in her main artery in Nov. 2000. We both sleep on a Nikken Sleep System and she has had no problems. Before we did this I checked the information from the hospital to find out what the stint was made of. Hers is stainless steel so there is no problem with magnetics. Your gentleman should check with his hospital or doctor to make sure what his stint is made of. I will be glad to talk to you or do a 3-way.

My father in law has had several heart surgeries. About 3 years ago he had a stint inserted. This past few months he was at the point of not wanting to live. Since he had the stint in place and more blockage, the Dr's were at the point of giving him stronger meds. He didn't want a by-pass due to his messed up diabetes. He knew his quality of life would probably get much worse. To watch him and talk to this man that once so active in his garage. Either tinkering or building something creative to just want to give up was awful. We became distributors in Oct. 2000. Attended 2 Wellness Previews and figured that no matter what, Mom and Pop needed the Pi-Mag water and the sleep system! My husband visited with them and Mom was willing to try the products. A necklace, the sleep system,
insoles, several minis, and Pi-Mag. Pop was skeptical and really seemed more agitated than anything about ordering all this stuff. But he kept quiet and when the items came in he faithfully wore his necklace, minis, insoles and slept in the bed on his new sleep system instead of in his recliner! After only a few days he was feeling better. We all got together on Christmas and he told several of us in the following days that this past Christmas was the best one he's had in years. He feels good and wants to tinker in the garage again. He tells my husband and I that he thought that we were full of non-sense when we were visiting and getting them to try some stuff out. He won't give up any of his magnet and FIR items now. He shares about the products with folks he runs into. They don't want to be distributors, but will share the goodness of the product with others and send them to us or my husbands sister which is also now a
distributor (due to product experiences)!

About 3 yrs. ago my dad had a stent placed. He was on the sleep system in the hospital and sleeps on one at home, plus he wears magsteps etc. My understanding is that they are stainless steel and our products are a low gauss strength so it's not affected by them.  Where as the MRI is 32 to 50 times stronger. Anyway, my dad has been doing really well on our products!!

My husband has had two stents implanted for more than three years. He had the stents put in after a heart attack. We didn't know about Nikken or their products at the time. There is absolutely NO problem using any of the Nikken products for him. We were very Skeptical in the beginning but eventually tried magsteps. After receiving almost immediate results, we became distributors and bought the sleep system. Since then we have bought and used almost every product that Nikken has. Ray uses the following products on a daily basis: Sleep System (including mattress, blanket, & pillow), Magsteps, Golf Socks, Car Seat, Bracelet, fir wrist wrap, necklace,  back flex, nutrition, Shower System, and the PiMag Water System. He also uses many other products on an as needed basis. We can honestly say that these products improved his health (and mine) in a dramatic way. Ray has been monitored by his cardiologist every six months since his heart attack. On January 12, 2001 Ray was told that he was doing so good that the Doctor didn't need to see him for at least one year. His blood pressure and cholesterol are both down considerably, and his arteries are all open now. We thank God for his improved health and we are very grateful for Nikken.

My mother-in-law who will be 94 in June, fell one night, and couldn't get herself up and into bed and laid on the floor all night, trying to get on the bed. This all happened a year ago, and yes we did have someone coming in, but she gave her evening meds and left. She couldn't remember anything of short term, after that. For four weeks she was in rehab, and then we took her home, with a daughter of  ours giving her 24 hour care. She has a pacemaker, and she did have a pair of magsteps, but whether she wore them much or not. She wouldn't read newspapers, or do her crossword puzzles anymore. When she kept on falling, since she would get up  without her walker, and when we had her at the doctors one day, he called her heart doctor to find that if I held the magnet on her scratched and
cut face, the doctor would check her pulse, to see if the magnet affect her pacemaker. Everything was fine. Since I knew she didn't have the strength to turn over in bed, I put one of the travel pads in her bed, and within five days, she was back to reading the newspaper and yes, doing crossword puzzles. Her memory isn't the best, but then it wasn't before she fell, due to surgery she had three years prior, and they disconnected her pace maker during surgery, and forgot to connect it back. Five months later, after numerous problems, they discovered this. I also added the quilt to her bed, so she is doing better, than what she had before. Hope this helps.

My father, 76 years of age, recently suffered a heart attack and ultimately landed in a world renowned Cleveland hospital. The triple bypass was a complete success and finished in half the time they allotted for his surgery. His recovery time was to be six weeks and he should have been back on his feet.  Enter medical booboo #1
Two days after his surgery, one of the nursing staff pulled the tape off one of the incisions on his leg. It was too soon and the incision gapped. They did not dress the opening and just let it close on its own. A large, very dark scab formed over the new leg wound and they sent him home and said it would heal. A week later the staff looked at this wound and said it was not infected, then it was, then it wasn't. On antibiotics, off antibiotics, on again. Finally, I had had enough. I tell everyone that I have an MD behind my name (stands for Mouthy Daughter). I knew enough about how wounds should be treated that I was uncomfortable with this whole situation.  Mistake #2 - they admitted they were wrong and lied to us for 3 weeks.  Then they decided to remove the scab that had covered the wound because they thought it was GANGRENE. This really scared us and made us mad. To make matters worse, a visiting nurse told us that she wasn't worried my father would lose his leg; she was concerned  for his life. Can you imagine how we felt at that point?!? An aggressive nurse finally removed a lot of dead tissue and irrigated the wound, which had formed a huge hematoma and left a cavity in my father's leg the size of an eggplant (no exaggeration). With that
fuel added to my already simmering fire, I decided to take matters into my own hands. After all, what did we have to lose?   So - here's the PiMag part. The wound was finally uncovered, lanced and irrigated. Every day for three weeks, a nurse came to the house, and performed the routine of changing the packing and dressing of his wound, which originally held 9' of saline soaked gauze.  The night before I left for California for a week, I sneaked into the house and changed the solution in the bottle to PiMag water. The wound was healing, but very slowly. When I got back 7 days later, I went to check on my father and made sure I went while the nurse was there so I could check on my little experiment. To my amazement, the tissue in his leg had remarkably growth and filled in that whole cavity to the point where there is just a small indention and the skin can now heal over the wound.  "Wow", I said "What happened while I was gone that caused that to heal so fast?" And the nurse’s reply was, "We don't have a clue,
it's like a miracle, this thing just started healing and hasn't stopped!"  I know what happened and I'm glad I was brave enough to switch the saline solution to PiMag water. This is not something I recommend anyone doing, never take medical matters into your own hands. But I did what I have been taught the last eight months while in NIKKEN and that is to lead with your heart. I did and it possibly saved my father's life. I hope he never find's out he was my
little lab rat.

I witnessed another truly remarkable Nikken "miracle." A friend (a health care professional) that I play volleyball with has suffered from a heart condition that is known as or that results in "SVT". She has had this for over 12 years. As she was playing ball, she had to sit out due to an increased heart rate (approx. 200 bpm). Normally it takes her body 15-45 minutes to settle back down to a normal state. I ran over, took my necklace off, and gave it to her. She looked at me funny and said OK. Two minutes later she was back on the court telling me that I wasn't getting my necklace back!!! It had NEVER cleared up that quick before. She said as soon as she put it on, her heartbeat went back to normal. Needless to say, she is now a new Nikken Wellness Consultant and a very excited one at that!!!

Nev and I were introduced to Nikken by our neighbor, Jude Calomino, who is a chiropractor. Although at the time of our introduction we did not have any physical challenges, we knew many people and animals who did. The first person we shared these new technologies with was my father. He was suffering with the problems of congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, allergic bronchitis and joint/back discomforts. His quality of life was not only affected by these diseases, but also with the side effects of all the prescription drugs he was taking. The diuretics would wake him up 4 to 5 times nightly, interfering with his normal sleep patterns. During the day he would look and act so tired, as well as out of breath. We needed to try something different, even though he had the finest of medical care, his health and vitality were failing.  So, on my father's 80th birthday, we gave him a kenkotherm mattress, and instructed him to drink lots of water no matter what. Well to his and everyone else's surprise, it was the first night he slept straight through without any interruptions, even while on the prescriptive meds and drinking lots of water. He felt so alive and energetic, like he had got a new lease on life. Then for Father's Day, we gave him a kenko pillow and 3 months later he stopped snoring! In addition, four months later, the doctor's started to decrease his heart and lung medications. We never expected his health and vitality to improve this much!  With the fabulous results my father received, we purchased a kenko pet pad for our beloved Byron, a 4 year old, Boxer-Staffordshire mix. He was suffering with post surgical discomfort and arthritis from his hips and knees, as well as redness and itchiness on his skin, ears and feet. Prior to the pet pad, I was spending $40 dollars per month (wholesale) on pain meds and nutritional supplements, bathing him 1-3 times weekly, to ensure his comfort and health. One month later, we no longer had to continue the pain and allergy medications, and in addition, we only had to bathe him when he smelled like a dog. His sensitivity to allergies had all but disappeared!!  The experience with our Byron, made us realize the incredible health and wellness enhancements that come with harnessing the natural power of our mother earth. Since there is no "placebo effect" in animals...one may witness first hand the simplicity and effectiveness of these products. We have seen nothing but positive results with every living being that has experienced these cutting
edge technologies!

I have a mechanical valve (aortic) as well as atrial fibrillation. I use many of the Nikken products, including the sleep system, magboy, necklace and PalmMag with no problems whatsoever. The PalmMag can be used with valve replacements and stainless steel, since they have no magnetic properties.

My husband had triple bypass here in Atlanta and had a miraculous recovery with our products-I was all ready for a 'fight' when we were bringing stuff in and one of the nurses said-'is that Nikken?

Both my mom (80 years old) and my palpitations improved 90-95% with the use of PalmMag. In my case, the improvement came the first day I started using it, about 6 months ago. The palpitations were becoming more and more frequent and when I started with PalmMag, I had them about 50 times a day. It almost completely stopped immediately! Thank God for PalmMag and Nikken.

My husband has two stents. Several years ago he had a blockage - the balloon and then had a relapse and did a second balloon with stent. Five years later he had a heart attack in a different part of his heart. We were introduced to NIKKEN shortly after that. I too was concerned about the stents and magnets. But I have to say - the mattress pad has been the best thing for my husband. He now gets a good nights sleep. He no longer snores. His sleep apnea is GONE. He truly has improved in the 4 years we have been doing NIKKEN.

My father was using the sleep system and the car seat, magsteps, etc. after he had his by-pass and valve replacement surgery (his was also a pig valve). I went him to his cardiologist to find out if he would have to stop using the products when they later wanted to put in a pacemaker and was told that unless the magnets are really powerful, there is no way they can interfere. He had no ill effects from using any of the products and continued to get their benefits. It would probably not be a good idea to use the more powerful magnets like the PalmMag right next to the pacemaker. I also heard from several other people who have pacemakers that they also use the products with no ill effects.

Before Nikken I experienced depression, could not believe in a future for myself, was without energy or passion, & was experiencing health problems. I struggled with low self esteem and low self confidence. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, an enlarged heart, and continued to experience depression which has been a lifelong problem. After Nikken, my heart function has returned to normal, and my heart size has returned to normal. I am now more outgoing, I am connecting with, and reaching out to people in a way I had not done before, and am no longer isolating. I am learning to trust in my relationships. I have an energy that I had previously not experienced. I have hope for a future, which previously my depression did not allow. I have hope for a future for myself and a passion for wanting and believing in change that I have not had before.

This is a story of what happened with my 82 year old mother while in the hospital for congestive heart and diabetes. She had been OFF her Nikken sleep system, the PiMag water, Body Energizer and Power5 air system for 10 days. It was Christmas time so she was visiting around.  My mom entered the hospital in the AM hrs of Dec 29th with her symptoms being, very difficult breathing, on oxygen, fluid around and in the lungs, could not talk, only could shake head, could not raise arms or hands from being so weak. Dec. 30th, 2007, at 5pm, St Luke's Hospital. In critical condition, heart racing up and staying up over a hundred beats a minute. The hospital gave some medication to lower the heart rate which came down from a fluctuating 102 to 125 within seconds down to 75 to 90 within seconds. That was better but still jumping within seconds.  I mentioned to the nurse that my mom had a special pad she slept on but I guess it would not be possible to use it there. Her response was what kind so I told her a little about Nikken. Thank the Lord she had already heard of Nikken. Therefore, she even HELPED me to put it under my mom. I was concerned about moving my mom because at this time she could not even use her arms or legs. The
nurse assured me it would be ok so I got the pad from my demo bag in the car. We had to literally roll my mom from one side to the other, without any assistance from my mom because of her weakness, and put that pad under her. That was 20 minutes before 6pm. My brother and sister in law came to visit at 5:55pm which gave them only 5 minutes before we had to leave the ICU for 2 hrs and shift change. My mom did not recognize, nor talk to, nor respond to their visit. We left the ICU unit at 6pm, then I was the 1st one swallowed to see her at 8:00pm. I walked in that room, my mom immediately upon seeing me, lifted that oxygen mask off her face and started talking. I was in shock and knowing I was there all the time and my brother wasn't, I told her "wait Mama, Jimmy and Linda
are here so save your energy to talk to them". She looked aggravated as she loves to talk, and then started talking again. I said again the same thing and this all happened within seconds before I could get over my shock and get my brother.  Well, I had a sister who had also seen my mom's condition before this mattress pad being put on the bed. I had asked her to go in 1st to see the difference and she came out saying "WOW." Then my brother and sister in law went in, my mom recognized them, chatted  with them, lifted her arms to hug them and had a great visit. We're very thankful.

I just had a heart catheterization done and I took my products with me to the hospital. I used the Kenko Travel Comforter under me since I needed to lie still for 6 hours. I was very comfortable despite back problems. Used a KenkoTherm Ankle Wrap for the agony in my hand where the IV was (you can put your thumb though the place where the heel would go). Also had a wrap in the crease of my other arm’s elbow at that IV site. A wrap and Flex on top of the cath site. I used no pain meds while there or afterwards. At home I used the same technique then but put a PowerPatch on top of the Band-Aid the next day on the cath site. The very tiny bit of bruising I had was not painful at all and disappeared rapidly. In my advanced medical directive I have that magnetic and far-infrared  technolologies are to be used for discomfort and aging instead of pain meds to which I am sensitive too.
