Natural Solutions for Asperger's Syndrome to offer hope for a better quality of life.

Asperger's Syndrome, also known as Asperger's Disorder or Autistic Psychopathy, is a Pervasive
Developmental Disorder (PDD) characterized by severe and sustained impairment in social interaction, development of restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities.  These characteristics result in clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. In contrast to Autistic disorder (Autism), there are no clinically significant delays in language or cognition or self help skills or in adaptive behavior, other than social interaction. A large number of children are diagnosed between the ages of 5 and 9. Motor delays, clumsiness, social interaction problems, and idiosyncratic behaviors are reported. Adults with Asperger's have trouble with empathy and modulation of social interaction - the disorder follows a continuous course and is usually life long. Aspergers is not easily recognizable - in fact, many children are misdiagnosed with other neurological disorders such as Tourette's
Syndrome or Autism. More frequently, children are misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit (and Hyperactivity) Disorders (ADD & ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

I used the sleep system and kidstrides for a child with Asperger's. He had trouble sleeping. He has done great with sleep, temperament and behavior. He was not on any meds, but was going to start. I think the products stopped him from starting the meds.

My son has Asperger's syndrome-which is a high form of autism. The only way I can describe him is he used to be Rain Man- but now is like the absent minded professor. He was having a rough time controlling his emotions-crying 3-4 times a day during school for 30 plus minutes at a time. We tried the mattress and comforter-he knew right away he slept better because he is a light sleeper and he over slept missing his Saturday cartoons! In about 2 weeks his teacher noticed a difference in handling conflict-he know wears a necklace, insoles and has the sleep system. He has done great for two years now. I'm a believer!

My daughter just told me how much she loves the sleep system and that it helps her sleep through the night. I didn’t realize this was an issue! She said that the reason she was afraid to sleep in her room was because she’d wake up in the middle of the night and become afraid, so she was afraid to go to sleep. She said that with her sleep system she stays asleep and if by chance she wakes up, she call fall asleep very easily. Whenever my husband would go on a trip she’d want to sleep with me. She just informed me that as long as the sleep system is in her room she doesn’t want to sleep with me anymore! Btw - my son, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, is falling asleep more easily and is more energetic in the am! I'm excited to see how this will translate with his emotional control!

From: cari@innovativewellness.com
Cari was born a happy healthy baby and had the usual childhood. Up to age 8 she was very athletic and active physically, taking dance lessons, awarded a scholarship from her dance teacher. When she was 9 years old she was diagnosed with a disease which had symptoms of constant hurting, swollen, and sometimes deformed joints - No more dance lessons. At the age of 15-18 years old her health condition and damage progressed so rapidly that she was confined to a wheelchair and told she would never walk again. At the age of 18, by a true miracle, she was able to start walking on a very limited basis, while still having to use her electric wheelchair for most of her nonautomobile transportation. Although she now enjoyed a tiny amount of freedom compared to her wheelchair confinement, she was still hurting constantly and was taking some very strong medications including steroids, a small dosage of a chemotherapy/abortion inducing drug and frequent use of prescription painkillers just to survive. She also could not get up and down off the floor by herself. When she was 22 years old shopping for wedding apparel, while trying on a slight heel dressy shoe at a department store, she slight pressure produced by the shoe created a stress fracture in her foot. Following the fracture, the bone density scan revealed that she had the bone density of an 80 year old (no wonder) which simply put means she had extreme osteoporosis. Over time due to the osteoporosis, she started developing a small hump between the top of her spine and her neck (like many elderly people develop at a late ageWell, her Mother had been trying to get her to try some alternative treatments for her condition and she kept refusing for 2 years due to skepticism and precaution (pregnant and nursing for the past few years.) She finally got to her wit's end when she came down with a really bad case of hives. They were persistent for several days and she tried everything she could think of to try and get rid of the hives (eliminating certain foods from her diet, avoiding certain fabrics, changing the sheets more often, etc.) What it came down to was taking Benedryl which, because she was nursing, doped our son Jared to the point that he was sleeping too much and even slept for 8 hours straight one night (he should have woken up during the night to nurse at least once or twice). As nice as it was to get 8 solid hours of sleep, it concerned us for him to be "drugged" by the Benadryl. The other problem was that Cari was so doped herself that she was sleeping all the time and was constantly tired. This put a lot of strain on our situation as I was left to deal with the two boys and try to keep earning a living, which was not an easy task. The hives were not getting better and the situation needed a change FAST. Well, one morning, Cari woke up and there were no hives on her legs, or so she thought. The front of her legs looked fine, but the backs of her legs were all bumpy and red. The only thing that we could link it to was the "Far Infrared" quilt that she had borrowed from her mom that was on our bed. This quilt is known for helping a number of things, including swelling and equalizing body temperature. She had been resting on her side with the quilt bunched up in front of her, just touching her legs, along the tops of her thighs and in front of her shins. When she got up out of bed, within minutes, the hives swelled right up again, just as bad as before. . . Well. . . We tried an experiment. She wrapped her legs in this quilt and had us set a timer for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes were up, we took a look at her legs and there were no more bumps and after another 30 minutes, all the redness was gone too! You know how as a child we are told lots of things by our parents, and offered lots of help from our parents, and usually you just say no, because, "what do they know?" And then you get yourself in a real bind and it's "Mommy, I need you help!!" That's basically what happened here. Her mom had been trying to get her to try some of these products for nearly 2 years, and she would reluctantly try a couple of them, but really wouldn't give the majority of them a shot. She called her mom and said, "you know that quilt you've had us try on our bed? Do you have any clothes made out of that stuff?" She said she did, but all she had were "long johns." Oh great. Long johns in the middle of summer in hot, humid Houston, Texas? She tried them out, and they worked great! Her hives basically cleared up while she was wearing the long johns, but it was just too hot to wear something like that in the summer, and she only had *one* pair to wear, which meant wear the same stinky, sweaty long johns day after day, or wash them and have the hives come back while they are being washed and dried (the hives came back every time she took them off for ANYTHING). This got just a *little* bit frustrating as a few days passed and, although it was better than being sleepy/sleeping all day, it was not the funniest thing to deal with wearing long johns all day in the summer, and the hives were not going away for anything.  She finally called her mom and told her that she had hit rock bottom and she was ready to try anything to get rid of these hives. She told her mom, "I'll try anything you want me to try, just hurry before I change my mind." So, her mother came over. Previously, Cari didn't want to take any supplements because she was either pregnant or nursing and she is pretty conservative about what goes into her body besides food during those times. So even though her mom told her that the supplements were all natural and had no side effects, Cari was still leery, so she had resisted until now. Her mom brought over one supplement called Liver Support and after only 3 days, the hives from Hades were gone! Apparently, since healthy skin has a lot to do with a healthy liver, taking a supplement that helped improve liver function also helped her hives.  Well, this opened her mind and willingness toward these supposedly "wacko" alternative treatments and she started trying some other things. In the process of looking into other things, she was listening to an audio tape about a supplement her mother had been trying to get her to take for quite some time called "Joint." And no, that's not marijuana. ;). Cari had heard from this audio tape about a study that was published in the Journal of Rheumatology where they had a "double blind" "placebo controlled" study on the effectiveness of the "Joint" product on patients who had Osteoarthritis (the "old people" arthritis). The results of the study were that after 68 days of taking the joint product, over 95% of the participants had NO PAIN and increased range of motion by 10 degrees! 95%??? That beats any study done on "chemical drugs" BY FAR and this product was all natural! Well, needless to say, this excited Cari and she was anxious for this to be the next thing to "try out." She decided to do her own "60 day trial" and found some very wonderful results: (some of these may not sound like a big deal to an average healthy person, but to us these were HUGE.)  After only a few days she could bend over and unbuckle her sandals from a standing position. After about a month she mopped the floor for the first time in her life. Within the next month or so she was able to RUN for the first time in over 20 years (yes, RUN). We were trying to potty train our son Jacob and she was teaching him that when he knows he needs to go potty, he needs to "stop and run." Each time she tried to illustrate this, she was walking quickly down the hallway trying to encourage Jacob to run. This procedure was repeated several times to help Jacob learn the stop and run concept and one of the times down the hallway. During one of their trips down the hallway, she was feeling so good that she thought to herself, "I feel like I could run." And she went ahead and tried it, and to her amazement, she did it! Over the next few weeks, she was able to run for many people. Several members of her family got quite emotional over the sight as they had known her through all of her struggles including being confined to a wheelchair from 16_18 years old. The difference between then and now is so phenomenal it is hard to imagine. As if she wasn't already a living miracle for which we feel blessed beyond measure,  there's more. . . .One day recently (I think it was during August 2003) she was looking up at a beam that supports our low ceiling in our living room of our house and started trying to tippy toe and reach the beam to touch it. After a few minutes, she got a little more confidence and decided to try and JUMP to tap the beam. She did so successfully, and found another ability she had gained in being able to jump now! Later on thatbeat, decided to jump occasionally. She did this with no problem and had no problems with the after effect of hurting like crazy that normally followed something like that.  The fact of the matter is that over 8 years ago, when we were dating and first got married, she couldn't go dancing unless she had taken Percodan (a very strong narcotic pain killer). And, yes, she wasn't hurting for a night, but the next day was bed-ridden and wiped out from the hurting so bad from of overdoing it. This was not the case now. She has not had to take her pain killers for several months now (and not at all while she has been taking the joint).  Once again, the Lord has been good to us, and we feel even more blessed than before, but yes, you guessed it, there's more. . .She has been taking dance lessons from the same lady she took from before she was diagnosed with her disability at age 9. Miss Lesa had been trying to get Cari to come out and take lessons from her again for quite some time. Cari went a few times (and wiped herself out for the next day) and didn't attend regularly until she started doing so much better after taking the Joint product. One of the nights she went to her class, it just so happened that the other people in the class didn't show up that night and her teacher decided to just go ahead and do a private lesson. After showing her teacher her new "jumping" ability, her teacher asked, "well, you can run and jump, what's next?". To which Cari replied, "My next goal is to be able to get down and back up from the floor without any help and without objects to hold on to." So, her teacher began right away with having Cari try different ways that she might accomplish this next goal. They tried lots of different things until finally figuring out a way, and Cari was able to split her legs as if in stride and lower a knee down to the ground,  then the other, and gently roll to the floor, all by herself! This was a MAJOR accomplishment as, up to this point, if she ever needed to sit on the floor for any reason, she had to be lowered to the ground by someone lowering her down by her armpits or hands (usually armpits).  Needless to say, this has not been fun for her, especially in public situations as it can be quite embarrassing for her. 
             
In Summary:

Up to age of 8 was very athletic and active physically, taking dance lessons, awarded a scholarship from her dance teacher.  

Diagnosed with (that condition where you have swollen joints that hurt all the time) at age 9.
Had to stop taking dance as she was hurting too badly, especially when jarring her body and   bouncing/jumping.
Age 15-18 [her disease] had progressed so badly that she was confined to a wheelchair and told by doctors she would never walk again.
Age 19 by a miracle blessing from God escaped from the wheelchair and was walking again, very limited, though.
Had a partial shoulder replacement surgery, fused ankle surgery, 4 knuckle joints replaced on one hand, several Toes surgically fused, and a Jaw surgery.
Had dealt with excruciating, stabbing discomfort, especially when she would know that we were going to have a   Rainy day a day or so in advance (my own weather forcaster).
Could not walk for distances more than from the Handicapped parking to the building without having to rest from  lack of energy and hurting too much.
Regularly used her electric wheel chair/Electric cart at shopping centers for any normal distance normally traveled  on foot.
Very difficult to get out of bed any earlier than 12 noon and most often around 2 pm.
Felt trapped and scared when she had to be left home alone, especially when kids were home with her. 

Now after taking Nikken's Joint, accompanied by other external health technologies from Nikken she's:
Taking Dance lessons again
Can RUN, JUMP, and get up and down off the floor without any objects or people assisting her for the first time in
   Over 20 YEARS.
No longer has to use her wheelchair (wheelchair has been sitting unused so long that it is warped and will not work
   properly).
Never has to use the electric cart inside WalMart/Shopping Malls, etc.
Feels a freedom she couldn't have imagined before.
Cari's new bone density scan shows remarkable improvement in her bone density - From Osteoporosis to  Osteopenia  (up to 58% improvement!).

Sorry for the looong details, but quite frankly, I have a new wife. I still loved her deeply before all of this, and married her knowing full well that she had a disability, and now with her large change in her abilities, it's like a bonus that I would have never expected in a million years.

My sister had LUPUS for 26 years with side affects of arthritis. Gail is now free of Lupus; however, the debilitating affects from arthritis sometimes make her miserable. The magsteps have helped tremendously in keeping the body open, her legs feel much better, her knee is no longer swollen, she can lay on right hip now and her hands are more flexible. She just recently drove to and from Medical Doctor by herself. After driving if her knee hurts, she gets out the Anti-arthritis spray and it becomes relieved quickly. She swears that anyone with arthritic joint problems will find relief for those really bad times.

I have Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, plus diabetes. I sleep on a mattress pad, use a car seat in my car, at work and in my lift chair at home. I wear magsteps, minis on both knees and both shoulders and I just purchased one of the new magwraps. It seems to be veryeffective when using my keyboard extensively. I also use the quilt, but in the summer it is just too hot. I plan on purchasing the summer quilt. I developed the osteo in my knees in 1990 and suffered a lot until I started using Nikken, in Jan of 96. I got instant relief and was pain  free. I am firm believer that one can never have too many magnets around them. I believe what Nikken promotes. We are magnetically deficient. I know the longer I use these products the healthier I am.  The magnets are also great for diabetes. I had lost the feeling in my toes about 6 years before the magsteps. Within a few days the sensitivity started to return. If you know any diabetics, please, please introduce them to Magsteps. I won't go into a lengthy explanation, but I had a diabetic ulcer on my leg that topical antibiotics didn't help. I put a mini on a sterile gauze, wrapped it and 24 hr later the sore was scabbed over, the swelling was completely gone.   I have been a Med Tech for 25 years and because I hadn't heard of magnetic therapy I figured it was snake oil. I didn't even believe my  own father. He sent me products and they collected dust for 17 months in my garage. Now I'm a firm believer that magnetism is a fantastic easy way towards prevention. Magnetic therapy does work, but one has to use the product and realize that will take time. But the longer you use magnets the better you will feel.

I was introduced to Nikken about 3 months ago and reluctantly tried the magsteps and minis for newly diagnosed osteoarthritis. I am a very active high school teacher and thought I was going to be required to change careers because of the extreme pain. My closest friend had become a distributor and so I took her up on her offer to "play with the products." To my amazement, within a matter of weeks I NO LONGER HURT! I am not totally cured, I can still tell you when the weather is going to change, but I am walking my classroom again!!  As I walk out the door to school every morning I do a Nikken check...magsteps, minis, necklace. With these three products, I can face any day without pain killers. I am thrilled and am telling everyone about it!!! If you need anyone to vouch for the power of these  products please feel free to contact me.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. A friend left me a tape at my home, I was annoyed with my husband for taking it. I thought it was another pill or drink whatever. When she called to see if I could come to her home for a demonstration I told her no I did not think I would be interested. She asked if she could pick up the tape, I told her yes and after she hung up I began to feel guilty and thought she may ask me why. Not having even listed to it I thought well I will listen and then be able to tell her why. I barely began to listen and heard sleep system, relieve discomfort and my attention was there. I never even listened to the whole tape and knew I wanted to see more. She came and I told her I had not listened and could I come, we laughed and from there is history. We bought the sleep system and innersoles that day, within 3-4 days I knew I felt better. I have a new knee and need a new hip. I had reached what the medical community call MMI maximum medical improvement. They had sent me to pain clinic given many doses of cortisone etc. I was on medication to help me sleep  without discomfort as my bad hip woke me up 3 and 4 times a night. After a week on the sleep system and my innersoles I was off the medication at night and most of the arthritis meds and I sleep well and have a much better quality of life. I had reached the point of feeling like my body was dying and I could do nothing. I would sleep for 8-10 hrs and when I got up wonder when I slept. I hurt all over and when people touched me it hurt.  Now I get up feeling energy and looking forward to my day, after a few months we checked into the business and in Jan.98 I became a distributor. I am not going to quit and I plan to be silver in a very short time. I thank God and my friend every day for bringing Nikken to my life.

We have a distributor in our down line that literally got his life back because of the products. "Uncle" Jimmy (I call him that because that is how I was introduced to him) was forcibly retired in 1975 because of arthritis. For the last 6 or 8 years he had been going to Duke Hospital for treatments. The doctors at Duke told Uncle Jimmy to not ride in a car unless he was going to the hospital for fear his back would collapse. Uncle Jimmy lives in the eastern part of the state and since he and his wife had not been anywhere for a long time, they decided to visit their nephew and niece in our town in July of last year. Kathy put insoles and a back flex on Uncle Jimmy while he was there for the weekend. On Sunday, they left and he drove 1,000 miles through the Blue Ridge Mountains to Gatlinburg, Knoxville, etc. and back. Uncle Jimmy stopped on Tuesday on the way back, plopped his credit card down and said order me everything I need. Uncle Jimmy is now Silver in the business telling every person he comes in contact with his story. The doctors at Duke are amazed since they have his medical records over the last several years. We have sent information to them as part of their first process in looking at Nikken.  Uncle Jimmy responded quickly and I think that wonderful, but not everyone will have that dramatic turnaround. Results vary. In addition, Jimmy doesn't smoke or drink and watches his diet carefully which is probably why he responded so well. He now takes very little medication if any. If you would like to talk with Jimmy, call him at 910-594-1154 and be sure to mention my name. He is the proverbial perfect Uncle.

My first introduction to Nikken was my dads bad diabetic feet healed. (My parents had become distributors and I told them this was a miracle, I wanted to sell this product even thought I had never ever sold anything and hate selling. My parents have decided not to pursue the business, but I will be forever grateful for this opportunity for me. I can now see an alternative to working at the hospital for 25-30 more years before retirement, and then with a questionable income.) I have some arthritis in my right wrist, hand and elbow which is relieved within 2 minutes of wearing the wrist wrap. I also had chronic sinus headaches and used the sleep mask and guess what, they went away. I couldn't believe it since I had been taking medication almost daily for headaches and sinus. All my friends knew that I would have a pill bottle full of whatever they needed for a headache. I didn't tell anyone for a long time because I was afraid that my headaches would come back. (crazy huh?)

I have arthritis in my left knee and wear the elastomag ELBOW wrap on it. My foot was hurting in the middle of the night so I put the same elbow wrap on it and went back to sleep...when I travel, work out and am sore thru shoulder/neck area or lower back or sitting at the computer I lay a NIKKEN sock around my neck or tucked in my underwear against skin ...it is so relaxing....funny looking but starts conversations... I have a good competitor in golf that had to have neck fusion in Jan. I put the magnetic seat under her and the pillow and the quilt on her
in the hospital...I also put minis on her dressings which were in the front of her neck and on her hip where they had taken the bone for the fusion. I would go up a once a day at least and spin the magboys over her dressings. they would not try the sleep system at home...in the 2nd week, she bought a gold necklace and wore it under her neck brace...still wearing the minis on her dressings…she was not to golf till June and had heard how painful the hip was after the surgery much worse than the neck... in fact the hip bone removal spot was to be painful for years.
She started golfing in may, 4-6 weeks earlier than the Dr thought she would...she has had no hip pain after the first 2 wks...couple weeks ago she hit into the ground and hurt her neck somewhat so I gave her a men’s dress sock to put around her neck...she won't give it back....the worst thing is we both played in a pro-am yesterday she played better; her team took 1st we took 4th...:))))))) she hasn't quit golfing long enough to get her involved and its multilevel marketing!!!!...but I'm stirring the pot..

I have severe rheumatoid arthritis, a result of Sarcoidosis, which often affects my teaching ability. I have my husband in my classroom to I use the gold necklace for neck and shoulder pain, two mini's with a brace for the knee, two min's with a brace for the ankle, a back promopad and the shoe mags --both types. I have slept on the twin mattress pad (just bought a full size one also) and both my husband and I sleep on the intelli pillows. He has stopped snoring almost completely. He used to snore almost constantly. I have found that I have more energy, I am able to walk for a longer period of time, my breathing problems have decreased and I overall feel better to cope with my job. I am about to send for the arthritis cream somebody told me about yesterday with confidence that it will help me even more deal with a debilitating disease. I have already helped several members of my family and friends with surgery pain. My son, Mark, had knee surgery -- he is a "runner" in marathons-- and the mini"s helped him after the surgery.

I came down with the "joint discomfort" (Rheumatoid Arthritis) in March of 1972. I was diagnosed and fought it using a variety of treatments from gold shots (for 18 years) to methotrexate and am now on plaquinil(for 8 years). During this time I suffered multiple joint problems all over my body. I was on some pretty strong pain medication and took sleeping pills for 10 years. My sister, Fran, became a Nikken distributor about 2 or 3 years ago and after having her product experience thought this might help my RA. She knew the pain I was in and the numerous treatments that I had been through for over 25 years. I agree to try the mag soles. Within weeks I felt some relief but I still wasn't ready to do more. She came down to Tucson for a Wellness Preview and talked me into going with her. I was fascinated by the testimonials and the many new products. I finally agree to try the original Nikken pad. After two weeks I began feeling a significant relief from the tiredness that has so long been a symptom of my RA. A friend was having trouble with spasms in his legs so I lent him my pad. Big mistake!!! He got relief but my relief stopped. He got a pad for himself and I got mine back.  It took me a longer time the second time before I felt the same relief as before but it did come back and more. After 2 or 3 months I decided to take myself off of the pain medication. Then I decided to do the same for the sleeping medication. I did it over time and now I have no need for either medication. I continued to go bimonthly to my doctor and he did kept up the test for my sed rate. This is a test
that tells how active my RA was. My highest sed rate over the 25 years was 20 and my lowest was 4. The last two tests have come in 0. I was amazed!! Also during this time I went from mag soles to mad strides. I use the kenko seat on my office chair. I wear the necklace and bracelets on both wrists. I have also gone to the intellirest pad and pillow. I have also started taking some of the supplements that Nikken has done such a good job developing. I am waiting to do another sed rate test to see if it is still down. I'm not saying that my RA is cured. I also still have an occasional flair up. However, I do attribute most if not all of my improved good heath to the Nikken  magnetic products. I also have more energy, get more regular exercise (3 miles in 45 min 3 times a week). I have horses and am starting to do more regular riding. I have even been doing some hiking. I hope this sharing of my experience with you enables you to make some kind of decision about whether magnetic therapy will help you. If you would like to write, I am enclosing my name and address at the bottom of this testimonial.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been helped tremendously with the Nikken products. When the Bio-Directed Joint was introduced, I began taking it and had further improvement in my condition. The bio-directed joint enhances the immune system and acts as an immune system modulator which balances the immune system for auto-immune diseases. When used in combination with Nikken's magnetic and far-infrared products, optimal results are achieved. The sleep system is key. My condition is very aggressive and I now have my quality of life back -- even playing golf! Hope this helps.

Anyone struggling with Rheumatoid Arthritis should look at Dave Johnson's web site at www.ruexcited.com. There is an article on Cytal-Myristoleate and it's positive results on both types of arthritis! I am borderline positive with Rh. and have been on the magnetics for 3years now. I get good results with the use of many products. However, I still suffer with neck / shoulder discomforts to a certain degree. I started the Joint formula back in May of this year. I finished two full bottles and did not really think it was doing anything for me.  Ironically, I was not having any symptoms either. I had a very good summer. I commented to my husband that it was too good to be true.  That was until August rolled around. I have had the worst time these last five weeks. It was after I read the article from Dave Johnson that I realized it was NO coincidence why I felt so great in June and July. Bio-directed Joint in conjunction with the liver support and the magnetic products are an absolute must for anyone with inflammatory and Arthritic problems. The article goes into greater detail with even more health concerns. I urge all of you to take a look at that article. Hope this helps.

He speaks about rheumatoid arthritis, and talks about the theory that it is an auto-immune disorder and may be caused by "leaky gut" - undigested food being released into the blood streams which causes an auto-immune reaction (the body is attacking what it considers to be "invaders".) Dr. Cochran suggests we use the Joint product (6-9 help with many of the physical chores I can't deal with at times. The Plumps introduced me to Nikken products last Christmas and since then I have had wonderful relief from the products.

A friend of mine had 4 back surgeries and a week before they were going to put in a morphine pump, he tried the magsteps and back flex and is now doing great without having to have the surgery.

At the time I discovered Nikken's magnetic insoles I did not have any discomfort or lack of energy. As a matter of fact I was playing ice hockey three times a week and feeling pretty good overall. Then an outgoing and personable man, who has since become a fantastic friend, introduced me to Nikken, their products, and what the benefits provide to people. Of course I didn't believe a word he said at first...it was the old "Oh no, another sales pitch" and "Magnets! Ya right! You've got to be kidding!" Then I agreed to a flexibility demonstration. All I can say is "WOW!" Before he could comment on the results I was grinning from ear to ear and giggling like a child! By placing the Flex promo pad in the back of the waist of my pants I gained a tremendous amount of flexibility in my torso. I was all but dumbfounded by what I had just seen with my own eyes and experienced with my own body. He then offered a pair of Magsteps for me to try out while reffing a game that night. So I did...only problem was I put the bumpy side up in my skates. Oh man did that hurt! So in between games I switched over to having the smooth side up. I quickly forgot they were in my skates as the second game was pretty intense. Afterwards, while I was changing out of my reffing gear I remembered that I had the insoles in the skates and realized something; my legs weren't tired at all. In fact they had recovered from sprinting up and down the ice to stay up with the flow of the game even before the game was over! These products are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (as is this company) and I am constantly looking for ways to share them with everyone I come into contact with. I urge you all to keep helping people by sharing what we've found...even if you think the person you're talking with has no discomfort at all. Nikken's products help us in the areas we're looking for help in and also in ways we would don't expect!

My wife has a lower back condition that has bothered her for many years. Since her father has severe joint discomfort we have assumed that she has it too. But we don't know this. A recent trip to the doctor did not confirm the disease in her case, though it did not rule it out either. Linda is much more comfortable from using the flex all the time 24 hours a day. She sleeps much better and snores less on the sleep system--in fact she hardly snores at all anymore. She sits on a Kenko seat at work and finds this helpful.  I personally have greater flexibility and strength from wearing magsteps/strides (one of the other) all the time. I take the multivitamin and I often wear a flex. At 60 I feel better than I have felt in years. People who have known me for a long time say that they have never seen
me exhibit such enthusiasm and well being. I attribute this to Nikken--a combination of regained hope for our future b/o the business and use of the products. My wife commented this morning that my positive attitude has grown and that she appreciates my openness to change. A friends son broke his collar bone while skiing. He had to take ibuprofen at school and codeine at night. After one day of using the Super Mini he was able to stop taking the ibuprofen at school and said that the discomfort was much less.  When his mother saw how Super Mini helped her son and reported a persistent discomfort in elbow area that she has had for years. She has screws in the elbow. After two days of wearing the wrap + card promo pad she said the discomfort was gone and that the noise made
by the screws (when she extended and rotated her arm in a normal manner) was considerably decreased. I can testify to the sound decrease. When I first heard it the sensation was so unpleasant to my ears that I whenced and shuddered. After the two Nikken products I could hardly hear the screws at all.

My name is Clare Strohman in Los Osos, California (on the central coast west of San Luis Obispo). Before Nikken I was in generally poor health, lacked energy and was stooped over. I had been to physical therapy, exercise classes, physicians and Chiropractors throughout my 54 years, but nothing helped me stand up straight and I had upper and lower back agony. I did not notice any difference using the magsteps, but I could get out of bed easier using the Kenkopad. Six months later after also using the nutritionals, my hairdresser of 19 years commented that my hair was thicker and the former auburn color was replacing my current unmanagable gray. That has continued. Then 18 mos after first using the products, I saw my reflection in a store window and didn't even recognize myself for I was
standing up straight! I continue to use many of the products including always wearing the magsteps and necklace along with the bracelet and back flex or belt.  For a severe agony I experienced in my jaw joint, I found one mini helped the lower jaw hang straight and additional mini on the other jaw joint kept me quite comfortable. I did however, need to wear a simple plastic splint molded to my upper teeth (sold for athletes in sporting stores), and replace my Kenko pillow, which I adored, with the soft pillow before I could open my mouth and chew comfortably.
I wear minis on both jaw joints when getting my teeth cleaned. This helps me open my jaw wider and more comfortably.

I suffered from back discomfort for over 42 years due to fractures and dislocated vertebrae. I achieved relief in 40 minutes by inserting a flex promo pad in my waistband. I've helped several others with similar problems by using the newer elastomag back belt or the combination of the flex magnet in the pocket of the kenkotherm back belt. These all put the maximum effect of the magnets right on the problem. I also sleep on the kenko pad, but it's the flex and/or the backbelts that make the biggest difference for me!

My name is Roz Kovel. I had chronic lower back discomfort -- 12 years of trying everything including chiropractic, physical therapy, ultrasound, acupuncture, exercise, massage, and drugs – 3 months on the sleep system cleared it up; sleep mask after oral surgery/bone grafts reduced inflammation overnight, I didn't need any pain medication, and after 1 week oral surgeon said my gums looked like 3 weeks of healing; same experience after rotator cuff surgery -- shoulder elastomag and vest helped reduce swelling, I didn't need prescription meds, and had full range of motion back in 2 days (doc said I would not be able to raise my arm over my head for 2 weeks and when I showed him I could do it in 2 days, he said I was just "strong!")

I hurt my back terribly (felt like I broke it) after 2 days of agony used the Back kit. It was great. I kept the belt on only the Elastomag one for 1 extra week. Just in case. I loved what it did for me. Also, it seemed more convenient than the Flex. I just dressed around it.

I hurt my back last month. I had been using the back flex and FIR wrap along with sleeping on the sleep system and wearing magsteps. While I got immediate relief from the magcreator, in that I was able to straighten my body after the first 24 hours, I have not been able to handle weight-bearing movements like standing and walking without immense discomfort. So today I decided to use the elastomag belt and I have been comfortable all day. For me the difference is quite remarkable. I think the reason is that the belt covers a larger area. As we all know, pain is not always experienced at its source. Now I do not have to chase the pain.

My sister uses the back flex and magboys regularly. Ten years after a lumbar fracture, she still has the stabilizing pins in her back. She says the products have helped her flexibility and prevent the pain she usually has in her "tweaked" back. Sarah's schedule is that of a professional athlete and includes several hours of training every day. (She hasn't seen the need to have the pins removed although they usually get removed in a year or two.)
I also have a good friend who hasn't taken his Nikken necklace off since he got it several months ago. He has pins in his neck to stabilize his cervical vertebrae. He can now golf comfortably. Prior to the necklace, he considered giving up the game. I hope this helps.

I had back and neck pain and migraines due to an auto accident in 6/94. I suffered with discomfort everyday from the time I awoke. After being up about 30 minutes things would get better until around 1PM and then I would have increased discomfort and had to resort to taking 600mg Motrin a lot and Flexoril many nights to sleep. Many nights I would go to better soon after dinner and sometimes before dinner because of my discomfort. I always got a lot worse if I had to sit for 30 minutes or more. I had none of these symptoms before my accident. I tried the magsteps only for 8 months. Although my friend told me they had helped people with back discomfort they were not
enough for me. Because the magsteps alone didn't solve my problem I didn't try the sleep system. I finally got desperate and tried the sleep system as well and from then on things got much better. I have not taken any medication for almost a year. I feel the sleep system is the key. Obviously the magsteps are great but sometimes the problem can be bigger then what they can do so go with the sleep system always if possible. Hope this is helpful. Use whatever info you think is necessary.

Edward is in pretty good health and is a runner. But we both wear the Magsteps and have the Kenkopad, and they have helped my back. I have had a slipped disk and 2 bulging disk for a long time, and nothing would help, until I tried the magsteps. They have really helped, I can now mop my floors instead of having Ed to mop them. I can also get down on the floor to play with my grandkids, which I couldn't do before.

I had been dealing with increasing pain in my back, hip and foot. Found out it was due to a birth defect in my back. A defect that I share with my father, brother and grandfather. The doctors have not been able to help any of us. Adjustments don't work. They only offer medication and tolerance. I tried a Kenko Flex and the pain left within 3 hours. If I forget to wear it the pain come back again within 2 days. I know the magnet is working! The magsteps took away the pain in my foot. And sleeping on the kenko pad takes care of my hip. I
love these products!!

I had a lot of discomfort, problems before Nikken entered my life. I had insomnia, a bad neck problem from 3 whiplashes over a 20 year period of time. My lower back constantly hurt from a car accident from 3 years ago. 6-18-95 I fell while skiing and broke my leg and blew some major ligaments in my knee. 12-09-96. I fell while skiing another time and tore my rotator cuff, (shoulder) 3-02-98. So life was pretty bad with all my aches and discomforts. I had been going to a chiropractor 3 days a week for over 10 years for my constant neck problem and bad headaches. This led to not much sleep due to the level of discomfort. I was taking all kinds of medication too. Muscle
relaxers, pain pills. I actually had enough medical bills to claim it on my taxes last year. Then I really finally did it, I had been skiing over 20 years without a serious mishap, and I fell and broke my leg, and lost my ACL, severed it in half, and almost tore the MCL in half. I was in for a long rehab. No surgery though. I wish that I had known about Nikken and the wonderful products back then, but no such luck. Then one day late in April, 1998, I met a nice lady at Pet Co who was wearing a button that said "Own your life ask me how" We started talking and I shared my body ache stories and she told me about another way to get help. I was ready to try anything for my 20 yr. Headache from my neck spasms. She loaned me a kenko pad an infrared quilt and the soft pillow. I also bought a pair of magsteps, and some Nikken cat. By the 3rd night using the sleep system, I noticed I was getting more sleep dreaming for the first time in a long time, and that my shoulder wasn't as sore. I had torn it March 2, 1998, and slept on the pad the first night was April 29, 1998. By the 5th night, my low backache was feeling better, I asked her if I could just try it a few more days, and she agreed. By the 8th night I woke without a headache for the first time in 20 yrs. I cried tears of joy. The Magsteps hurt my feet at the beginning, but I just kept them on, and rode out the discomfort. I had been wearing an orthopedic brace that was custom made out of carbon steel ($1000.00) ever since my ski accident.
In my job I walk a minimum of 8 miles in a day and carry heavy bags of coins to fill the slot machines. I felt I needed that brace for support and safety. About 1 1/2 weeks after wearing the magsteps May 7th I went to work without the brace for the first time. I haven't worn it since. I will wear it however while skiing this winter, yes I still ski. Long story short, these remarkable products saved me from a life of misery and addictive prescription meds, they have literally saved my life, or given me my life back. I use the back flex and back belt, for lower back, I use a mini on my shoulder with nik stix, I use a mini and the knee wrap at night, I wear the gold necklace (a god
send) and don't go anywhere without magsteps in my shoes. I have noticed that the longer I am in the magnetic field the better I feel and the stronger my body is becoming.

We had a wonderful experience this month with a woman who was suffering chronic back distress for 15 years. Nothing could ease her discomfort. She drives a lot in connection with her job and was actually on the verge of trading in her car because she was so uncomfortable in the seat. But after her introduction to the KenkoSeat, her back quit hurting. She also uses the KenkoFlex, mostly when she is working in her yard. Apparently her back used to go into spasms after a few minutes of yard work. So she is really excited and delighted with the products. They just took the demo pad and pillow to try. I think that would be wonderful for her if she likes it. Her mother-in- law became a distributor just because of the help Pam (the daughter-in-law) has received. Phillip Poe suggested I send you above testimony. I had sent it to him.

Became interested in the products when introduced to them because of a bad back, due to training horses for many years, and wondering if I would be able to continue my training due to the discomfort that I had. Then a friend of mine who was a Nikken independent distributor talked me in to trying some of the promo pads and kenko seat. And what a difference it has made. I have cut down the usage of chiropractic treatment almost 75%. And I feel like continuing my training of horses and riders.  So now I am an Independent Distributor since October of 98. I am not only using the products on myself, but use them on my training horses for different problems, and also just to help keep them relaxed. Nikken has been a fun business for me.

We have had wonderful product experiences. I have been discomfort free in my lower back for nearly a year. I credit this to the magsteps and the Backflex, which I use when playing golf in addition to sleeping on the sleep system. I have not been to a chiropractor in 12 months and used to go routinely (at least once a month). I would not be able to straighten up after golf or other strenuous activity. My wife has been off of her allergy medicine for several months. She also has noticed some improvement in her arthritic joints, especially hands and knees. She was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis after suffering a broken leg. The leg has healed faster due to application of  FIR and two minis to the break site in addition to the use of the sleep system.

In Dec 97 I was ready to quit the one thing my wife and I love to do. We raise and train horses, including having a breeding operation, IO also own a manufacturing business. I was on the verge of quitting all of it and retiring because I hurt all the time. It would take me as long as 3 hours to trim and shoe a horse, but with the back flex, magsteps and the necklace I can do it in about 1 hour or less. I back at training and riding more than I have in 5 years. I use to love to get off work at the other shop come home saddle something up and ride for a hour or so. I quit that early in 97, because I could not sit straight in the saddle. I'm now working longer hour and loving it. I also found it works on horses even better than humans.

We decided to join Nikken because of product experiences which relieved my back discomfort. After using the products for ten days, my back discomfort associated with two back surgeries disappeared. After three weeks of sleeping on the products, I was able to stop taking sleeping pills of which I had used for 1.5 years. We bought the sleep system shortly after these life changing experiences. Learning about the business we were so engrossed about magnetics and far-infra-red we knew nothing about the nutritional products, except had heard they were good. I was diagnosed with Chrons Disease about six years ago and go to the Chrons Clinic in Chapel Hill. I have this disease
in my small intestine. Less than 5% of the persons having this disease have it there. The surgical solution is not as easy as in the large intestine. I have never had surgery but it has taken me 5 years to get off steroids and a lot of other expense, high powered, bad for you, drugs. I have been taking 6mp, (a drug used to treat leukemia in children) and pentasa. When I started taking Nikken nutritionals, I could tell the difference almost immediately. I couldn't remember if I had taken my Chrons medicine or not. Then, I started to monitor not taking the medicine at all. I was able to get off the medication entirely in about three weeks. That has been over three months now and I feel the best I have felt in years. I would not have attempted this without the knowledge of what the sleep system does for you
particularly the comforter, with my condition. These products are wonderful they have changed my life!!!!

A friend had been involved in a major fender bender and hurt all over, to the point it was interfering with her quality of life. The accident had also activated an old back injury. I found out about the accident about four days or so after it had happened. At that time she had gone to a massage therapist and was unhappy with her results, since she actually hurt worse. Guess what? She noticed a difference in her comfort level after only two or three nights on the demo pad. She was also using the Kenkoseat, since she drives a lot in her work. After a week, she returned the products and said she felt as if she had never had the accident. She was astonished and kept a couple of the
products to show her father out of state. The prescription a physician had written her to get physical therapy was still sitting in her car unused. I still get a thrill when someone feels better after using the products.

In 1990 and 1991, I had lower back surgeries done. The operations stopped the pain in my hips and legs. They did not, however, stop my back from hurting. I'm a general contractor and painter. What I did at work during the day decided what I was able to do at night. I walked like a 90 year old man. At the time of the surgeries I was 35. I walked bent over until I could grab a doorframe or something high enough to pull myself upright. This went on till April of 1999. That was the third month of sleeping on the full mattress sleep system. We became distributors in Jan. of 99. Bought the sleep system in Feb. The first month was tough getting used to a new mattress. It felt like concrete
compared to our old mattress. The second month was worse. My back hurt in places it hadn't hurt for a long time. I was ready to sleep somewhere else. My upline is in the med profession and he told me to stick it out. That this was my body going back through some old problems and injuries. The third month was an improvement daily. Each morning was better than the previous day. By the end of the third month I could stand up straight in one motion and do it quickly. I could drive long distances and get out of the car and do the same. I was one of the people who did not get immediate positive results from the sleep system. I still tell everyone this story. The sleep system is
worth 10 times what it cost me. I love it.

I watched Richard, my husband, struggle with back problems for years--sometimes to the point of being immobilized for days. A pair of Magsteps helped with a heel problem and set the stage for us to enter Nikken. Within 90 days Richard's back was 10 years better. Today it is 20 years better. We have changed our lives, the lives of our family members and the lives of complete strangers just by asking them to walk, stand, sit and sleep on Nikken products. I started in the computer industry in 1984 and saw it explode. When I saw Nikken---I knew
the Wellness Industry would be bigger than the computer industry. And if my computer sales J.O.B. had been network marketing I would already be wealthy! I love the idea of continuing to get paid tomorrow, for my efforts of today---all the while, making a difference in someone's health.

Hi my name is Jacqueline Richardson. A job injury in October 1999 left me with a cervical injury to C6 and C7, with spinal cord and nerve compression, nerve damage and injury to my right hand. I had cervical surgery in January 2000 to replace a disc in my neck thatwas causing the compression. Following the surgery the pain and swelling increased severely. The medications did not work and my condition got worst. I developed facial pain, multiple trigger points in my upper body that send radiating pain throughout my entire body.My doctors documented that I would be unable to return to secretarial work and would need extensive physical therapy with injections
which could only guarantee me about a 80% recovery at best. I could do no domestic work and I was in constant pain and slept about three hours a night.  My sister-in-law in Orlando told me about the Nikken products and we went to Orlando to check them out. Within two days of using the sleep system, neck wrap, insoles, magboys and magcreator all my pain and swelling were gone and I stopped wearing big cervical collar for the first time in four months. After such a dramatic product experience I became a distributor. About a week after, I went to the Spine
Care Center and after being examined by two doctors was told that I was in great health. They were amazed after examining my doctor's reports, x-rays, MRI and seeing such a drastic change, especially in my range of motion. I told them about the Nikken products I had been using and they said that they could not argue with the success.

I have a curvature of the spine -- one curve on top at T3, T4, T5 and the other at the base of my spine. (It's an S curve). For a long time, I had discomfort on my left hip. It often got so bad that I'd have a massage just to release the discomfort at that spot. I also needed a chiropractic adjustment about once a month. (It had been much worse that that, but a series of physical therapy treatments with microcurrent and myofascial massage helped a lot.) I taped a promo pad over the spot on my hip for a few nights and the discomfort pretty much disappeared. After about a month on the sleep system, all discomfort is gone. I also do not need chiropractic adjustments as often. When I went to the chiropractor this week, there was a very noticeable change in my spine. The type of adjustment I needed was
different from anything I had in the past.

BY ACCIDENT we got introduced to Nikken, a car accident. As a result, I walked like a man with a stroke, dragging my left leg. My left arm, left hip and left elbow and lower back were in agony. I'd been in that condition for nine months. While under doctor's care, I took
4,000 mg of medicine to try to ease the agony. I began to spit up blood every morning because of the damage to my stomach from the
pills.
Thank God for a friend, Dee Smith. On a Saturday, she loaned me the Nikken magnetic insoles for my feet, a magnetic wrap for my
knee, and a magnetic back pad. My lower back was feeling noticeably better within the first hour. My knee and all the discomfort that
went the full length of my leg was gone by Tuesday. Matter of fact, I felt so good that I even mowed my own yard, which I'd been paying
to have mowed all summer. I was like a colt let out of a barn. I finished off Tuesday and Wednesday by mowing four other people's
yards. Thursday, I went back to my doctor and massage therapy. Both of these health professionals noticed a complete change in my
mobility and both of them said, "I guess we are finally on the right track," (like they were the ones responsible. Ha)
My lower back had been full of dreadful spasms for nine months. That was the last appointment I've had with any doctor in regards to my
car accident. I now sleep on the Nikken deluxe magnetic sleep system and drink magnetized water, sit on a magnetic seat in my car and take the Nikken nutritional supplements.

Our Initial Nikken Experiences, by Lionel and Rendie Young
From Rendie: For 7 years, I've suffered with a low back problem that many times would go out and I'd be down for days. In 1998, I was on my back on the floor, on a stack of blankets for over a month. Then in Jan., 2000, I slipped and fell, putting all my weight on my left ankle. Six weeks later we learned some bones on the top of my left foot were cracked. After braces, crutches and much therapy, I was still limping in Jan., 2001. Now, my lower back problem had increased in agony and was down my right hip, leg and knee. I had to sleep with a pillow between my legs and slightly shake my right leg to tolerate the discomfort, so I could go to sleep.  In January 2001, a friend at Denton Bible Church noticed my limping and asked why. She asked if I'd ever heard of Nikken products.
She said the sleep system did wonders for her body discomforts. She had an extra one for company and offered to loan it to me. You can imagine what I was thinking. How could a Nikken 2 inch thick mattress pad help me with all my agony? (I didn't realize then, it wasn't just another sleep system, there was powerful technology incorporated into it.) However, after years of suffering and no relief in sight,except major surgery (which I was in the process of investigating) I WAS READY TO TRY ANYTHING. She said for her, it only took five nights, but every situation is different and it could take several days up to a few months for me to get some relief.  I slept on her Nikken mattress pad for about a week and noticed I no longer needed a pillow between my legs and didn't need to shake my
leg to go to sleep. Even my former dry, cracked heel was normal within 3 months. One of the greatest things now is to walk without limping. Normally, as it nears evening, my back problem creates discomfort, so I look forward to crawling into my bed on MY OWN Nikken mattress pad. Within 10 minutes, I have NO discomfort at all. I don't want to EVER be without a Nikken sleep system again. I even ordered the Nikken travel pad and sat on it to fly to Indiana to visit my children, then slept on it while there.  How does it work? I really don't know or care! What it has done for me is nothing less than miraculous. I highly recommend the Nikken sleep system because of my personal experience with it. From Lionel: For several years, I've had extreme discomfort in my lower back and neck. All treatments were to no avail. I thought surgery was inevitable. Then, in November, 2000, my right leg was run over by the dual rear wheel of a motor home.  Miraculously, there were no broken bones but within a few weeks, I started having a lot of discomfort in my foot and knee, where the dual tires of motor home had compressed my leg against the concrete road. Needless to say, my body was screaming at me at this time. When we learned about the Nikken products, I decided to try them for my hurting. After all, I'd tried nearly everything else, why not give this
"snake oil treatment" at try (which I so ignorantly called it)? What did I have to lose?   After trying the sleep system, I noticed a considerable amount of relief. After adding the shoe insoles, there was no more discomfort in
my foot. The necklace provided relief to my neck and the 5 " x 7 " back pad is working great to relieve my lower back discomfort. Was all this a coincidence or in my mind? I think not. What do you think?

I was diagnosed, through a medical scan, with an herniated disk in my lower back which caused excruciating pain in my lower back as well as sciatica radiating down my legs (sometimes the right leg and sometimes the left leg, particularly behind my knee and in my calf).   I also suffered loss of feeling in the outer edge of both of my feet. I struggled with this for over 2 years, at times wriggling in pain for days on end ... falling asleep from exhaustion at 3 or 4 in the morning. Moreover, I felt I had lost my youthful life .... Before this happened, I was an avid runner, loved skiing with our kids, backpacking, playing tennis .... all that was lost!! My family physician told me "I'd have to learn to live with it ...her husband had the same problem and just to bear-with". Both chiropractors I saw only seemed to make it worse. The Physio-therapist tried his best but I found no relief from his length series of
sessions. I read book after book on back problems - tried their recommended exercises but, again, no benefits. The neurologist indicated that I was a good candidate for surgery and after struggling with no real relief for over 2 years, I, with great reservations, accepted his recommendation that I'd have to have surgery.  As fate would have it, just as we were waiting for a date for surgery, a colleague at work told me about Nikken's magnetic products and
the benefit it had had on helping to aid with healing of his wife's shattered ankle. Typically, I'm a fairly skeptical person but ... the timing was right and I was more willing to consider alternative means with the hopes of avoiding surgery. I must admit that I did not at all believe that these products would do anything .... particularly after so many medical professionals had tried and thought that back surgery was necessary. My husband was the more open-minded one and encouraged me to give it a try. To my great SURPRISE, after sleeping on the sleep system, wearing the back flex all day (and sometimes at night) and wearing the magnetic vest at times, I woke up on the 14th
day with absolutely NO discomfort in my back or legs, feeling was restored in my outer feet .... I was on "CLOUD NINE". Typical of a skeptic, however, I still couldn't quite believe that it was the magnetics that enabled this to happen. Nevertheless, I was thrilled and raced forward with renewed energy, free of pain. I was SO ready to reclaim by previous active life back. It was only after setting out on a weekend backpacking trip 3 weeks later with our family, with a 50 pound back-pack, that I came to fully RESPECT the value that Nikken had brought to our lives. That first evening, after crawling into my sleeping bag, I started to feel that old pain set into my lower back. At 3AM I woke in agony and fear as to how I was going to be able to get out of the wilderness - I had visions of being
air-lifted by helicopter and my husband having to struggle back up the mountain with our kids in tow. Of course, I had not come prepared with ANY of Nikken's products ....but then my husband indicated to me that he had his magsteps in his hiking boots and perhaps they'd help. Well I never thought I'd relish a pair of COLD, "stinky" magnets so much. Within minutes of tucking them into my pajamas, I felt the discomfort ease and by morning, I was free of any discomfort and able to enjoy the rest of our family weekend. Since that day, over a year and a half ago, we have helped so so many people with back challenges. I'd be happy to talk with anyone who is suffering with back problems and encourage them to give Nikken's products (and themselves) a chance.

As a guy who is has been in nursing since 1977, I thought my middle name was "crane". Us guys are literally abused in the system, no matter how well we utilize good body mechanics. We are always called upon to do most if not all of the lifting - of anything. After so many years of lifting and tugging, etc., and living with a herniated disk for 9 years or so, I finally had surgery after my disk ruptured. L5-S1 - not the best place for one to rupture. They discovered I also had degenerative disk disease as well. I was told it would migrate up my spine progressively and there would be nothing I could do about it except take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin,
Nuprin, Naprosyn, Alleve, etc. I can't take these medications so that was out. I had a laminectomy in May 1999 and met our Janette Robinson - a Wellness Consultant - later in the same month literally on the beach. I had to have assistance just getting up from the sand I was so stiff and sore. A year later, we finally had our sleep system and what a difference it made in reducing my stiffness and discomfort in the morning - every morning. I still have stiffness in the morning but I can MOVE now where I could not before. I have slept on the "system" going on my second year now and it has increased my flexibility tremendously compared to the days before our sleep system.
However, I have found that when I use my MagSteps along with my Elastomag back support, I have SO much more comfort that is longer lasting. My flexibility prior to using these products was documented at about 45%. I have improved my flexibility y without increasing anydiscomfort to around 70% just by incorporating these products into my daily life. I wore my support for about 18 mo nths EVERY day to get to this level of comfort. Trust me, when I don't use my back support, I know it. It takes about 48 hours for me to get back to a normal level of comfort after being off of it for several weeks - I did this on purpose to see if it really made a difference. So I know from my
personal experience, it does. I have also noticed that taking the nutritionals and joint compound helps sustain my "comfort zone".  Forgetting to take the nutritionals negatively impacts the efficacy of the Far-infrared and the magnetics, based on my personal experience. I cannot arrest the progression of my disease but I can decrease the rate of that progression and decrease my undeniable discomfort along the way. Hey, and I can be happy along the way too!

In 1994, our young son was injured in an accident that left him writhing in terrible agony. We were afraid his back or his neck might be broken. An ambulance took him to the emergency room, where they said his tailbone was badly injured, that this was a very painful type of injury and that there was very little they could do for him. They were right, even the pain medication did very little to help him. He was in bed and in tears. He couldn't go to school; he couldn't play soccer; he couldn't even get out of bed without help.  Rich's brother had told us about the Nikken products. Yes, we were skeptical, but we decided to try them on our son. What did we have to lose? Our son was in agony and we wondered if he would have back problems the rest of his life from this injury. Imagine how delighted
we were: one day he was in bed and in tears and the very next day he got out of bed, he went to school, and he was back playing soccer again, just like nothing had happened. We said, "WOW! What in the world have we got our hands on?" That was the first of so many heart warming experiences of seeing smiles on the faces of people feeling better. It's now been several years since then, and our son still feels great and he still uses the Nikken products, and so does the rest of the family. We used to go to the chiropractor all the time, but we haven't needed to, since we've been using the Nikken products. We are healthier than we have ever been, and have saved tons of money
on doctor bills.  We receive powerful testimonials from others every day. That's because Nikken products often provide dramatic, life-changing results. Nikken's advanced wellness technologies are applied to address major concerns of modern living: discomfort, stress, health and wellbeing.  This is an opportunity that pays very well in money and in satisfaction. Since we decided to share the Nikken products and opportunity with others, we are earning a great income, and it feels good to know that every dollar earned represents someone feeling
better.

Prior to becoming a wellness consultant two years ago, I was having difficulty walking, sitting, standing and enduring numbness on my left side down to my toes. After an MRI, it was revealed that I had a bulging disc and some arthritics. I was given a series of three steroid injections. If the third injection did not relieve my discomfort, I was told I would have to look at surgery. (I had already tried vioxx.) After the last injection, I was feeling great with no discomfort for approximately two and one-half months and then the numbness and discomfort began to reappear.
Fortunately, a friend introduced me to the products and told me how they had helped her with a similar health challenge. Immediately, I began to use the sleep system, back belt, insoles, nutritionals (especially Emerald Harvest) and lots of water. After six weeks, I could begin to see improvements in my discomfort as well as my total quality of life. I have continued to use the above products consistently
and I have no discomfort - no surgery - no medication and lots of energy!

I suffered for over 12 years with what was called a degenerative disc, in my lower back. I was a construction contractor and worked hard.   My wife often had to help me put my cloths on in the morning. I hurt when I got up, I hurt during the day, and I hurt when I went to bed at night. Sometimes I wandered around the house at night, wondering if I would be able to provide for my children. The doctors had me on a prescription that had some awful side effect on my stomach. When I heard about Nikken and the products, it made me mad to think someone would come up with such a ridiculous idea and take advantage of my condition!!!!!!!!!!!Today I sleep on a Nikken bed, I wear magsteps all the time, and I am more often than not wearing the Kenko flex over the area of the
problem. I drink lots of water and have not had a pill in the 3 years since I started on the Nikken products. I am a happy healthy man again, and my wife likes me better than ever now. I was a regular visitor to the chiropractor, but have not seen him since starting on the products, other than to tell him about the products.

I have been a registered nurse for 19 years. For 8 of those years I worked with the fine people of our community in the emergency room of our local hospital in Littleton. I worked two 12-hour shifts (graveyard) on the weekends. I was an unstoppable, "Ever-Ready bunny" until one morning in February, 1998. I was at work when I was overcome by a sudden change in my well-being. During the course of an hour, I became extremely light-sensitive, felt as if someone had placed a seashell over my head and began pushing me toward the floor. An urgent, pressing, horrible feeling seized my head. My own ER docs were not sure what was wrong. I spent the next 10 days in the
hospital in a darkened, quiet room (not unlike a tomb, I suppose) and received IV medications hourly to relieve my agony. I was tortured
by light, sound, dizziness, nausea, and head-hurting beyond description. My senses were under attack. Many months and many physicians
later, we finally discovered what the problem was. In essence a hole, origin unknown, the size of a fifty-cent piece was found in the coverings of my spinal cord. The hole provided the port through which the fluid of my spine drained out not unlike pulling the plug in a full tub of water. Imagine with me, blown out tires on an 18 wheeler traveling 70 miles per hour down I-80. Could that be repaired with a fix-a-flat? NO!!  A patch-job was attempted but to no avail. A few weeks later when the hole was located, a Denver-based eurosurgeon determined that
my condition necessitated a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The specialists at this world-renowned medical facility had first-hand experience with my problem.  So, in July 1998, we drove to Rochester where I was further diagnosed and immediately had surgery. As you might suppose, this was not a minor procedure. My neurosurgeon called it "an extensive patch job". He further indicated that I could expect to remain with certain
functional and comfort limitations for the rest of my life. (Not a very happy prospect for a 38-year-old mother of seven.) After more procedures at Mayo in the fall of the same year, the patch finally held and the other small holes that had developed were successfully closed. The physicians were expressly concerned that the coverings were so damaged that they would be forever delicate and subject to tearing.   The 18 months following the surgery were no picnic either. I could not tolerate bending over as my back and side would not permit it and my head felt like it would explode. Surely I had had enough of that! I remained super-sensitive to light to the extent that I had to wear
glacier-type sunglasses outdoors and tinted plano lenses indoors. I could not be hugged as I could not tolerate the jarring or the usual back-patting. This was hardest on my children (the youngest was 18 months old at the time.) I lost feeling in the skin on my back and side, and the deeper discomfort in my mid-torso prevented me from lifting much of anything. In fact the surgeon told me never to attempt to lift objects heavier than a pillow. For the next few months I was kept upright by prescription medications and sheer will-power.
Enter Nikken. I thought it was a bit ridiculous (okay, very ridiculous-after all I was an experienced, competent ER nurse at a local trauma center!!) But I respected the person who brought these products to my attention. After 10 days of wearing the back flex, I noticed adifference. After about 2 months on all the products, I experienced significant reduction in my limitations. At 4 months into the process I noticed that my side, back muscles, and skin felt and worked normally again. At 5 months I no longer needed to wear tinted glasses indoors or dark glasses outdoors. Within 9 months of being on the complete sleep system (magnetic mattress, magnetic pillow, and the far
infrared quilt), and using insoles, magnetic jewelry and small easy-to-conceal magnets during the day, I was completely liberated from the agony that held me bound during the previous 24 months. I came to understand that my recovery was a process, not a single event.  I am now free to carry on the normal life of a busy mother and wife and be demonstratively loved by my children. The three youngest are boys. I now jump on the trampoline with them!  My story is not a miracle of a supernatural nature. To the contrary, it is the miracle that the body can accomplish when placed in the  proper environment and given a chance to heal itself. It is quite ironic and special to me that the products of the company that has changed my life greatly esteems hugs and the energy they exchange! Oh how I like hugs!

Take a serious look at these products but more importantly the business opportunity that Nikken provides. There is purpose and vision here. The psychological income from helping people is priceless. The monetary reward can be life changing not only for you but also for your posterity. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to explore Nikken thoroughly.  Wellness and balance in all facets of life is the key. We look forward to serving with you and helping you on your journey. Health, prosperity and happiness to you.

I always remember having lower back discomfort even as a kid, but didn't attribute it to much other than climbing trees and sliding into second base too many times. About five years ago, I was having so much discomfort that I could hardly sit at my desk and any sports activity came to a grinding halt. There was a time when traveling, that I had to be transported around the airport in a wheel chair because my back was so bad. Although I was going for massage and chiropractic adjustments a few times a week, the benefits were short lived. I was finally diagnosed with a condition that is curvature of the spine. I was told that "there was nothing they (the medical doctors) could
do... and well, you know the line, "you'll just have to live with it".  My husband came home with a pair of magsteps, which looked to me like Mickey Mouse ears, and a large magnet (flex) for my back.  The first few days were brutal! My back hurt even more, and it felt hot and sweaty. Apparently, the person that sold it to us told me "it
was a good thing"... " that my body was detoxifying... and drink 8 glasses of water". Yeah right. Anyhow I did as I was told & I  persevered, and the next thing I noticed was that I had more energy at the end of the day. My legs were not feeling as tired, and I certainly was able to do more. My back was feeling stronger and the discomfort felt certainly less when I was wearing the back flex and insoles together.  Next I bought the sleep system- the most important product Nikken offers. The rest is history. I haven't been back to my chiropractor since, I am back to playing beach volleyball, and now I wear the products for maintenance. I may have been skeptical, but I wasn't stupid.   I knew that if the company had 33 million customers... there must be something to this stuff.

I have had a unique change with a back injury. I suffered for 5 years from a muscle/nerve damage from an auto accident. With the use of these awesome products, I went from a collapsing/labored walk to a normal gate/jogging in only one year! The doctors (Mayo Clinic) said that I needed surgery and would eventually be in a wheelchair. Today, I twist, bend, lift and even jog! My faith kept me pressing on, until an "angel" introduced me to NIKKEN. Now, I'm sharing the 5 Pillars of Health to anyone and everyone.

How many people, including myself, suffered from back discomfort for years, and now using our wonderful products, don't even know we have backs? I personally suffered for 30 years and haven't had a problem since I started using our products 4 ½ years ago. One of these days the medical profession in this country will get out of the box they are stuck in. Those of us that are out of the box are slowly educating them one at a time, but in the meantime, remember, surgeons make their living by cutting. Let the buyer beware. If you have back discomfort, try something out of the box first. The back you save may be your own. Another ex-doctor and proud of it.

My brother has a tens unit implanted and has had 12 back operations over a period of 25years. He is 57 and was unable to support himself when I got involved with Nikken. He was in constant "discomfort." The tens unit just kept him from screaming--just took the edge off. For the past 3 years, he has had the tens unit turned off (it causes some pain by itself). He wears the flex all day, tuc ked into his waistband on the low back, necklace drawn tight like a chocker to hit the upper vertebrae, magsteps, and sleeps on the sleep system with hard pillow. He uses the sleep mask when his sinus flare up; tapes a mini on each side of his spine at the neck if he bulges a neck disk (this used to be excruciating and he would be in bed for two weeks--now he is back to his daily routine after a day or so). Thank you Nikken for giving him back his life.

I have degenerative disease of the back, among many other challenges. I literally was kept working at a very physical job, in a Deli for three years, thanks to Nikken products. My problem was in the lower back, so I used the FIR back belt and flex, magsteps, and the bed pad. I would suggest the following for the neck area. A supper mini on either side of the neck, or the elastomag for the neck. The mini's will penetrate further, and not be so hot. Also the use of the magboys, rubbed over, and around the area, as well as spun for a few minutes might help. The necklace could be worn all the time, and certainly should be considered for that. I haven't had mine off in 4 years. Haven't had a headache in that time, and it has helped with my neck a lot.

I have a friend with Spondylarthritis ankylosis. His entire spine is fused with the exception of his neck vertebrae. He is one of the lucky ones whose vertebrae fused with his back straight.

I was diagnosed with an arthritic condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis in 1990. This condition begins in the spine and can effect every joint in the body as well as eyes and sometimes the aorta. The joints and vertebrae grow spurs to eventually fuse each joint into solid bone. There is a great deal of discomfort and disability attached to this. Often people are unable to hold the head up and become completely fused looking at the ground in a stooped, humped condition.
Treatment includes exercise to keep muscles strong around the spine in order to keep good posture. Relief has been found only is serious anti-inflammatory medication. I was on 1700 mg daily of oral NSAIDS plus injections systemically every 3 months for 9 years. I was able to cut my medication in half after sleeping on the sleep system and wearing back flex, insoles and necklace. In fact I never had to have another injection. Since JOINT came out and I took 6 each day for 3 weeks when I eliminated Rx meds completely from my routine. I now maintain on 3 JOINT per day in addition to all of the other bio-directed nutrition for women. I was also Post polio and osteoarthritic and I truly have my life back. The magboy in my purse is still used occasionally for acute discomfort, but that is even rare.

I had a client who had an operation on his back and was interested in the PalmMag for relief of discomfort. While I using the PalmMag over the lower back I began moving the unit over his entire back especially the spine. I also held the unit over the top of his head not touching him and stood him on the Magsteps. He could feel the tingling in his feet through his shoes. After about 20 minutes he asked me what I had done to him. I asked why and he explained that he had another operation some years ago and they fussed his vertebrae in his neck and as a result he had limited ability to turn his head side to side. In addition to relieving some discomfort in his lower back, he could now turn his head sideways farther than before. He could not believe it had an immediate effect on him. Needless to say, he
purchased the unit on the spot.

The PalmMag is pretty incredible. I have a friend of mine that never believed in Nikken products and did not give any of it a real try until the PalmMag came along. She was in several car accidents and has chronic discomforts in the neck and lower back area. I showed her the PalmMag and asked her if she wanted to check it out. I put it on her lower back for 10 minutes and we heard this pop in her back and her back felt so much better. She could not believe it. Two months later she tripped on the cement and fell and aggravated her neck and back  so she called me to see if I could help her. When she arrived I noticed she could barely walk and after 45 minutes of the PalmMag and
laying on the sleep system she walked out of my house in tears of happiness that her discomforts had disappeared. She called me several times to thank me for my patients and persistence on helping her.

My husband works very hard physically. The other evening he made a wrong move and could not stand up straight because he was in so much discomfort. Somehow he made it to bed and used the PalmMag on his back. He fell asleep and it was probably an hour when he woke up and could get out of bed and stand up straight. For the rest of the night he used the Back Flex. No discomfort the following morning! He knows our products are great but this REALLY impressed him.

My wife was diagnosed by her doctor to have severe scoliosis and several other serious problems in her back. The doctor even wrote a prescription for a medication that would help to relieve the discomfort. The prescription has never been filled. My wife has a high threshold when dealing with extreme discomfort, but she attributes the products with helping her to live with the problem and to do so with such great relief that she is able to function very well. She uses the complete comfort system when sleeping. And, when she is up and about, she wears a back flex in a back belt. She also takes three joint pills every day and wears Magstrides in any shoes into which they fit.

My sister has spinal stenosis and was scheduled for surgery. She used the back flex, joint formula and PiMag water. After about 3 weeks she felt well enough to cancel her surgery.

She still has problems and you can tell when watching her walk or get up from a sitting position, but she is much improved.

My problem is stenosis (buildup of calcium between c4-c6) which was creating waves of numbness radiating down both arms, detected by MRI. The episodes of the waves of numbness had been increasing through the years (about 20 years) until they were happening every other day. The doctor told me to consider surgery (roto-rootering the calcium from the spinal column) - Nikken had just launched the necklace. Within 4 months of wearing the necklace 24/7, the waves of numbness essentially stopped. I still get an occasional episode (2 or 3 a year), but that is significantly better than it had been.

Spondylolysis can lead to spondylolisthesis, with which I was diagnosed 9/9/75. The date's fixed in my memory because of the intense pain I experienced after foolishly lifting a 200# rock into our pickup bed. I could not move from lying on my back for several days & then only to crawl to the bathroom. X-rays showed vertebra L5 had slid forward about 3/8" on S1 & I was told my walking days were over & that I must take pain pills for life & have surgery (they planned to take donor bone from both my shins to use to fuse 3-4 vertebrae).I refused the surgery, wore a stiff plastic jacket that compressed my innards about 4" toward my spinal cord for about 30 months & it
enabled me to continue practicing dentistry & even walk a bit. Daily abdominal exercises enabled me to eventually get out of the strait jacket, walk, run, x-c ski & resume a normal life. But every time I forgot to do those daily exercises, the problem would return & I'd be back in the plastic jacket for 2-3 weeks. Until Nikken!! I no longer do any special exercises at all & I've not worn the plastic jacket since wearing MagSteps, Back Flex, sleeping
in the Sleep System, drinking 100% of my fluid intake as Pimag Living Water. Except for being careful how I lift & avoiding work requiring cotton-picking posture, I have no restrictions & no one notices I've ever had a back problem. Dr. Bob Wynman

I've been working with a person who broke his lower back 16 years ago. The discomfort has been so bad that he's been on pain killers for a long time, most recently a form of codeine that leaves him foggy and exhausted. He's working with a doctor to get off the codeine, but the pain is so intense it's been hard for him to do so. I did J.E.T kinesiology testing with him that I learned from a James Stevens training. He got decidedly stronger with our "Joint Formula."  I tested for amount and he was strongest with 3 a day. Tested him with the insoles and back belt and his strength increased. I used the PalmMag on him with CM cream for about 20 minutes. I loaned him the back belt, CM cream for him to use until his order came through, and a pad. He bought a bottle of Joint and insoles I had on hand. I told him to use the CM cream 3 times a day and take the Joint formula 3 times a day, and also added the pillow as I told him his spine would be aligned better. I called him back in another few days, and he said that he wasn't feeling any pain! I was so thrilled for him. It's a wonderful feeling helping someone get their life back.

I had back surgery almost 2 years ago in which 3 vertebra were fused with bone scraped from my hip. The vertebra were also held together with 3 titanium rods and 6 screws. The surgery took care of my problem successfully. I got the surgeon's permission to use the travel pad, pillow, travel blanket which zips into a pillow, back flex. He would only let me use them when I got to the room upstairs, not in the recovery room. I had a bit of a problem convincing him at first but when I said I would cancel the surgery without them, he relented. He was leery of
putting the back flex on the incision, but I assured him that it would work on the outside and didn't have to be put right on the skin. My results were nothing short of miraculous. I got off the heavy pain medication so fast the nurses were talking about m e to everyone.  On one occasion when the bandage was changed the nurse forgot to put the back flex on again. I knew it in 2 hours when I needed pain medication way too early! I also took my PiMag water bottle and drank nothing but that. I became allergic to the tape on my back and my sister put Pi concentrate on the welts and they healed right up! When I came home, we continued the drop on the incisions and they healed beautifully. The surgeon thinks he did a great job. I think it was the Nikken products.

Last April I developed 2 ruptured discs, one at L4-5 and the other at L5-S1. I had all the classic symptoms, numbness, couldn't walk, etc. I saw one of the neurosurgeons at the university where I work. Her advice was to continue to treat this supportively because the statistics say that most people will need to go back to surgery after 5-8 years due to scar tissue, and that the pain may not be aleviated even with the original surgery in some cases.
I was in agony. I called my friend who was selling these hokey magnets...I got the backflex, (already had the inserts but they didn't work for this), used the Palm Mag and this aleviated the pain but the BIGGEST difference for me was taking the Joint & Liver supplements and using the CM cream. Within 48-72 hours I was off the oxycodone, off the Viox; pain was reduced to about a 4, then within several days it continued to decrease to nothing!! THIS is how I got interested in Nikken.  I started with 9 Joint tabs/day for 3 weeks, then decreased to 6 for 2 months, then down to 3 which is what I maintain on. Some days I do not even think to take it. I intermittently wear the backflex, but always wear it when I am cleaning, working out, etc. And yes, getting those abdominal muscles in shape is THE biggest factor in supporting that back, so I do a number of back exercises nightly before bed.   The discs did heal. The key is that I was willing to give it 6months to see if it improved...lit didn't even take 2 weeks!! Our NIkken
products made ALL the difference.

I used the magcreator using the roll out method, after that when over it in a back and fourth method for about 3 minutes than I concentrated on the area of his back with the magboy making sure they were spinning. Within 15 minutes the disc had moved back into place. I gave a roll out for the next 2 weeks the same way as described above. I never cease to be amazed by these products.

My daughter, Laura, experienced a major car accident and almost severed the spine in half. She had a fusion done to T10, 11, 12 and L1
to repair the spine damage. There was extensive tearing of muscle, tendon, and ligament. When we got her home two days after theoperation we had her use the PalmMag several times a day. She kept the flex in all the time and slept on a full Nikken sleep system  (pillow, quilt and mattress).  One week after the accident she could drive as a passenger in her husbands car. By mid-January 2004 she was traveling on flights. By mid-February she had traveled by air to Chicago, Tulsa, OK, Atlantic City, NJ, and Atlanta, GA. How many people do you know who can
claim to be traveling all over the east coast and Midwest within one month of a major back fusion?
The PalmMag, flex, and full sleep system have made a believer of my daughter, her husband, and many others. The products work and work well. Without Nikken products AND the magnificent surgical skills of Vanbilts Medical staff my daughter may not be alive today.  She is now active and was off pain medication within 45 days. She is living a life as close to normal as she had before.

One of our dearest friends was riding his horse and wound up with the horse on top of him - the horse reared and went over, landing directly on him. He broke his pelvis in 3 places, 3 ribs, his back and had multiple internal injuries. He was black and blue from his neck to
his knees. As soon as he came home (3 weeks in the hospital) we put him on pad, back wrap (elastomag), magsteps, magboy, water, nutritionals. He made an incredible recovery. The bruising was gone in 3 days, and he was back to work in 2½ months from the time of
the accident!

I have been a Nikken Wellness Consultant for about 4½ years. Almost 2 years ago I fell up two cement steps. As I was going down, I knew I was going to break my right arm when I hit the cement step and I am totally right handed so I twisted to hit my left arm just as I hitand apparently snapped my back up about thoracic 4 and 5. I immediately put on the kenko flex.  The first X-rays were taken in the physicians office and very inferior. As a professional registered nurse I should have known better. No break was seen at that time so began therapy which was pure agony. The break was misdiagnosed until I asked for a second opinion and that took another week.   Another week to get new X-rays and another week to get on surgery schedule for a total of nine weeks. I took no pain pills (even narcotics do not control the spasms of getting in and out of bed or the car. I learned to not try to pick up anything that fell and to never sit on a soft chair. We do sleep on the new dream mattress and pillow and comforter so did not wear the flex to bed. I admit getting in and out of bed was brief severe spasm. I also know a lady who had surgery to fix the same type of break was addicted to her narcotics by the time she was finished with surgery and recovery.
My Kenko flex stayed on my back before and after surgery and my good and faithful travel pad was on my bed when I arrived in a room. I stayed in the hospital 24 hours so Medicare would pay my bill, but did not need any pain pills while there.

A bout with a crippling childhood disease left me with a right leg and hip that caused a lot of discomfort and walking problems. Almost nine years ago the Nikken mattress, pillows and Magboy came into my life. What a difference they made. The hip, back and leg agony that was almost constant for over 15 years slowly disappeared. A five to ten minute spin with the Palm Mag twice a day relaxes the hip,  back and leg muscles. The time varies, but I feel the muscles relax and then the whole leg feels better -- no more sharp "stabs" shooting down that leg. I just lie on my mattress with the PalmMag spinning beside my hip and read.

I don't know what in the world I have done to my lower back, but I woke up with enough discomfort to rate about a "4" on the scale. I rubbed some CM cream all across my lower back and then sprayed some PiMag water over the area. Within five minutes my lower back no longer hurt! Placebo? I think not - because a few hours later, when it begin to hurt again, I repeat the procedure and within five minutes, I was comfortable.

I would just like to say again how wonderful the Kenko Flex pad has been for me. The other day I was on my feet all after- noon and my lower back was feeling like I had a large knife sticking into it. I realized that I had failed to wear the Kenko Flex. After putting it on, I had
relief from the discomfort in just minutes.

I had a place in my upper back that I had adjusted for years and years. The PalmMag fixed it right up. When I got my first PalmMag 1 ½ years ago, I simply sat on the sofa while reading my paper in the morning leaning against it. Voila, no more!

This is exactly the condition that got us into Nikken. My wife fell down a flight of stairs which resulted in the disc problem. Our sponsor let her borrow a Flex. Within an hour she felt relief. In addition to the Flex, we purchased immediately, MagSteps, a Sleep System, PiMag Bottles and a KenkoSeat. Within 2 months my wife had discontinued all pain medication and had stopped using her cane. She can paint and paper to decorate our home and work in her flower gardens with minimal discomfort.

I have a bulging disc in my neck. When I first experienced the problem, I used the KenkoWave 30 minutes in the morning & 30 minutes at night. After using the KenkoWave, I would put CM cream on it. I also wear the pearl necklace. It took a few months, but I never had to have surgery. I no longer use the KenkoWave, unless it starts to bother me, which is rare. The lactoferrin was introduced during the time I was still using the KenkoWave & I noticed additional improvement when I added the lactoferrin. I also use all the other products, but I think I can safely say the lactoferrin, KenkoWave, cm cream & magnets are what helped.  Beth ----------------------------------------------------------------

I have osteoarthritis, degenerative disease, and suffered with back problems for over 15 years. I worked in a deli, and was thinking of quitting my job. I was 61 at the time. I was introduced to Nikken in '98. I had 3 bulging disc at the time, #3, 4 and 5. I used the back belt and flex, 24-7 for 3 years. The terrible pain stopped within 3 days, was gone within a week. I continued to work for 3 years, until the cartilage disappeared and I had to have surgery.

This is how I was introduced to Nikken 8 years ago. My 26 year old daughter was told she MUST have surgery or she would not be able to function. She had been a couch potato for 6 months because of a disc problem; unable to work, drive or function at home. She was on 3 different medications for pain. I sent her Magsteps, FIR back wrap and Flex. She wore them religiously as many hours as she could (sometimes all night and all day). In 3 days she called me to say that she was off all medication and was driving to San Diego for the weekend - a 3 hour drive. She continued to improve and was retrained as a Pharmacy Tech - on her feet all day. The following spring her
Chiropractor ordered a New MRI which came back "no damage" - no more bulged disc. She has returned to all of her normal activities including riding her horse. She continues to wear her insoles and wears the back wrap when she works for the health benefits she receives from them.
