Hope for those with challenges with their teeth

Teeth Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)

(These testimonials are not endorsed by Nikken. They are from people like you and me. We make NO MEDICAL CLAIMS -- and wedo not claim to heal or cure)

I was first introduced to Nikken the night before my son had oral surgery to have all four of his wisdom teeth removed. The nice folks that invited us to the Nikken meeting loaned him the Power Mag and gave us some of the filtered water. The next two days following his surgery, he used the Power Mag regularly - the first day, every 20 minutes switching from one side of his face to the other alternating the ice packs they had told him to use. Then without the ice on the second and third days, less frequently and without the ice packs. The dentist explained that the swelling would gradually increase until its peak on the 3rd & 4th days following the surgery. He also told us that the healing would be from the inside out and so he would have "holes" for a while and the need to be extra diligent in his oral hygiene until the healing took place. He said it would take 5-6 weeks to get back to normal. On Sunday, he still had indiscernible swelling and I thought maybe I would finally see swelling on Monday. On Monday, looking in his mouth, I could not see where the surgery had been except for one area on his lower left jaw. There was no redness and no swelling anywhere in his mouth, and only one of the incisions was still open. I didn't fully appreciate this til the next morning when he had a follow up visit, and when the swelling should have been at its peak. When the dentist saw Ryan, he remarked with considerable surprise, "You don't have any swelling!". He looked at me and as if remembering said, "You said you were going to do something". He then looked in his mouth and told us that my son was 75% further along in the healing process than the average person he sees at that point. That last incision was closed by the end of the week and he has fairly recovered in less than half the time he had been told to expect. The Power Mag lived up to its name. I believe that using it together with drinking the water, accelerated his healing. We were thrilled with the results.

I had two jaw teeth on the left and one jaw tooth on the right extracted at the same time. They were just roots, as the crowns had broken off. I placed a super mini on the left and a regular mini on the right, held it on with a sweat band around the head and under the jaw. I took not aspirin, Tylenol, or prescription pain pill, ate Jell-O at noon, toast about 3 PM. cereal that evening and ate normally the following day. Spit no blood ever, and had no swelling or bruising the following morning. The right side began to feel some hurting about 6pm and I just moved the super to the right side and the regular mini to the left and made it safely through the night. Never spitting up blood was almost as remarkable for my wife as not discomfort, as she had seen her mother spit blood for three days, with her teeth.

I had extensive mouth surgery on June 6th. The 2-hour operation took bone from lower mouth and grafted to upper jaw. The Lidocaine wore off in 2 hours after the surgery. I went back on the 8th just for a check and the Periodontist wanted to know why I was not taking pain medication, was not groggy, and had no discomfort. I had 40 stitches taken out on the 13th and the Periodontist again was totally amazed that I had not taken pain medication, and had no
bruising or swelling. He said he had never seen tissue heal in 7 days. The answer? A Super Mini on each jaw and I wrapped in the FI quilt for 5-6 days while I "played" sick. Of course, I wear Magsteps, the Back Flex, and the Gold Chain and use the Sleep System at all times anyway, so these products helped the healing also. My usual comment about the Nikken products is - THEY WORK !

From: bobalou@wynman.com
As dentists, we've learned that if we can adjust the surfaces of the teeth (re-contour 'em, move 'em or build 'em up) so that when the jaw joints are seated completely where they belong up in the base of the skull & the jaw closes and all the teeth contact at the same time, with the same intensity & on stable surfaces perpendicular to the arc of closure, most of the problems disappear, since most of them are caused by spasms of the muscles of mastication & the nerve signals to those muscles seem to shut down & allow the system to relax when the "balanced bite" I've described is achieved. The Super Mini placed just in front of each ear would allow the same relaxation of the muscles & in time, using MagSteps by day, & sleep system by night, those muscles that seem to cause the jaw problems would relax regardless of the relation of the joint to the biting surface of the teeth (if the teeth don't contact, that relationship doesn't matter).

I had a crowned tooth, which had cracked and had to be extracted. The dentist really had to wrestle with it and had to make an incision in the gum as well. I had planned to take my super mini with me but I had forgotten it, so it took about 30 minutes before I got it taped to my cheek. The only thing I needed post op was two Extra Strength Tylenol at bedtime. Thought that was pretty good!

This was forwarded to me - good testimonial... I have a dentist in my down line. She has trained her office staff to spin magboys to relax and ease discomfort prior to injection. After the procedure, she has the patient hold a super-mini over the injection site for 5 minutes. This draws the novocaine out and the patient leaves without the numb feeling. They also have a great introduction to the power of our products.

My gums have been very sensitive and I have had 2 root canals done and knew that eventually more would have to be done. I decided to use the Palmag on my gums. After about 2 months' use I had another dental check-up and cleaning. On gum pocket depth exam, of 12 spots which were 4 or 5 (not good), 10 of them became normal! The improvement on sensitivity was also miraculous - while the teeth were being cleaned, it almost felt as if the whole mouth was anesthetized. I know now that with PalmMag I don't have to lose my teeth.

Lana has a condition that makes the teeth/gums bleed, get loose and fall out. There isn't anything that can be done medically. Just to wait till they all fall out and get dentures. Well, Lana started with the Jade Greenzymes mixed in with the powder drink, about 10 days ago. Lo and behold her teeth are tightening up more daily. The gums, of course, stopped bleeding too. What an absolute miracle.

I really enjoy the shower filter. Not only does it make my skin feel softer and my hair shinier but I also use it as a Water Pick for my gums. My gums have been receding and bled quite often. Since drinking the PiMag water I saw some relief but not as much as when I started running the water over my gums and teeth while in the shower. I have noticed that my retainer for my teeth doesn't get all icky looking. I used to have to take it to the dentist and have him put it on his ultra-sound machine to get the hardened junk taken off. I haven't had to do that since drinking the water.

Last year, I have had extractions and two implants. I didn’t have to use any pain pills at all. I used the seat to sit on, the sleep mask, and necklace. But afterwards, I taped the mini's on right away. I had a slight discomfort when the deadening was going out, but very little and it lasted only a short while. My husband had one extraction and one implant a couple of years ago and he had no problem either. And he feels pain much more than I.

I spoke with Dr. Donald Lurie who is an Oral Surgeon. Here is his advice for those who may deal with this tooth extraction in the future: After the surgery, wait a few hours till the bleeding has ceased and clots have formed. Then, tape super-minis on each cheek, or the credit card sized magnet which will cover both upper and lower jaw. Keep on through the night, if possible. The following day, rinse with Optimized Water but be gentle with swishing and spitting. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

I have found tremendous relief from teeth grinding (at night) from wearing the necklace (chain for men!). I wear it 24/7 -- on occasion I will not wear it to bed just for a test -- if I do that 2 nights in a row I wake with a tension headache and sore teeth! By wearing the necklace I do not have to use the plastic apparatus the dentist designed for me. I never wake with the tension headache as long as Iwear it. From these results I would bet it would help his teeth grinding as well

I had a dental implant - I used the super mini taped to my jaw - 24/7. Even went to work with the super mini taped to my jaw. I did not take any antibiotics or pain killer - no swelling, and no pain.... a week later, the dentist told me that the dental implant looked like it's been there for a month - the healing was excellent.

I was having some dental work done where the dentist had to cut into my gums. After the Novocain wore off, I was in lots of discomfort. I held the PalmMag near where the work had been done, and in a few minutes I was feeling 70% better.

For loosening of teeth, Jade GreenZymes will absolutely help with this as well as the Calcium. This condition is a result of osteoporosis of the facial bones. I might add that I have three separate customers who have used JGZ and seen an improvement in as little as 6 months.

From: jare1@juno.com
Loosening of teeth, without doubt, is due to weak nerves and there is NO BETTER TOOL THAN PALMMAG for this problem. I have had life-long problem with sensitive teeth which is the same nerve problem. With PalmMag on each jaw about 10 min. a day, the problem disappeared and when I went back for a dental check up 2 months later, even the abnormally deep gum pockets became normal, 10 out 12 spots! Of course we assume that we are using all important Nikken products - water, sleep and nutritionals.

I own a gymnastic school and coach competitive gymnastics. I usually have several gymnasts getting or in braces. We were preparing for a meet and one of my better gymnasts was crying and inquired, what was up. She said that she had just had her braces tightened and it hurt so much she wanted to go home, I said OK, she called her MOM. She was doing her conditioning waiting for her Mom. I was adding pi-concentrate to my water. I remembered someone saying they had a dentist using the pi-concentrate in their practice. I asked my gymnast if she would be willing to try something, she said if it would help she would try anything. When I told her what I had in mind she said I had to try it first. So I did and told her it was very salty but not too bad. I warned her it would most probably sting. So she opened up and I put in about 5 or 6 drops, you would have thought I had killed her. She yelled - said it did hurt - I said stick with it, she was tough. I went back to practice her MOM showed up, she came over to me and asked if it was OK if she continued practice. She said her braces didn't hurt any more. I was amazed. We keep a bottle of concentrate in the gym for braces more than one gymnast has used it for their braces. They have also used it for cold sores and canker sores in their mouths. As coaches we used it on rips, blisters on the hands from working bars.

When I first started Nikken, I was a major teeth grinder (all my molars are crowned now) and had migraines, etc. I was on holiday for 6 weeks and tried the Nikken products during this time (sleep system, jewelry, etc). I had been in the middle of osteopathic treatments for the headaches and when I came back my osteopath was amazed at how loose and relaxed my jaw was. I don't grind anymore and I wear the earrings all day, every day as well as the necklace and of course sleep on the sleep system. I started having pieces of bone fragments come through my gums shortly after I had two upper molars removed on the same side. I experienced sharp pain all the way up to my ears. I had been to a Myofascial Doctor who opened up the area and tried to clean out the pieces embedded in the gums, however, they continued coming. I went to the Dental Department at Mayo Clinic and they claimed
they had never seen anything like it and did not have a clue as to what to do. Finally my Mother learned of the KenkoWave unit and ordered one for me to try. Within one week of using it on the jaw 30 minutes 2 times a day, the pain and bone fragments have completely subsided. Thank you, Nikken.

(Testimonial sent to me by my aunt.) I woke up on Thursday morning with a severe tooth ache. By Friday it was so bad I could not bite down or eat. Used the KenkoWave for 30 minutes. Called the dentist. Could not get in until Monday. Used the PalmMag in the evenings for two hours. Saturday tooth ache was gone and could eat. Continued KenkoWave in the morning for 30 minutes. PalmMag evenings for one or two hours. By Monday the dentist could not find a problem. He saw a tiny swelling on the side of the root, thought it might have been an abscess. To me, Nikken did the work.

I recently had a root canal and used Nikken products before, during and after the procedure. I used the biaxial super minis during the day and at night I taped on 2 super minis. Because I have a problem with the joint in my face, my dentist felt I needed an anesthetic during the procedure. When I talked with my endodontist I took my super minis with me. With his approval I placed the 2 super minis over my TMJ joint during the procedure. After the root canal I then placed the 2 superminis over the affected tooth area. In addition I used 2 immunity and 1 Lactoferrin nutritional supplements every 6-8 hours until the swelling and gum redness disappeared. The use of these wonderful products helped me and I didn't need any antibiotics or pain medication. On a daily basis I drink the Optimized water. I also feel that I saved a lot of money by not needing to have an anesthetic.

I have had very good experience with the PalmMag on a root canal problem. Because they could not deaden my tooth enough to do a root canal. I had to return home with my pain and wait for another appointment. My tooth was so bad I could not bite down on it. So over the week end wait, I got the PalmMag on it for one hour. Continued later that evening again with two hours. By the next day the pain was going away. I could eat again. I was told to make another appointment. The x-rays showed no need for a root canal. I just saved over $2,000 thanks to Nikken.

My son had six teeth surgically removed. We put the sleep mask over the extracted areas placing it under his chin and super minis on the sides immediately after extraction (his extractions were for braces and came from both sides of his face). The optimized PiMag water was soothing and comforting not to mention helping the body cleanse and recover. We used joint and liver supplements for discomfort sometime after using the medications the doctor gave him for directly following the extractions and the trip home.

The procedure to have my wisdom teeth pulled was at 11:00 AM on a Tue. At 6:30 PM the bleeding finally was stopped. At 7:00 PM I started using the PalmMag on both sides of the face, about 20 min. at a time. In between times I used the KenkoWave on both sides of the face until bedtime at 10:30 PM. I woke up the next morning with no swelling or discoloration on the face at all. There was very little blood on a towel that was used that night. Their was no discomfort that next day and I ate regular meals. I went to the Dr. on Thur. at 11:00 AM and said Dr. you have to see this recovery, which he did and all he could say was Wow that really looks good. I used the same tools off and on for the next few days to help nature along and it all worked. Thank you Nikken. A very happy 65 year
old user of all the products.

Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs Thoughts about a healthy society

Some of our readers may be confused by this posting in a Wellness Blog...Our wellness relates to healthy mind, body, family, society, and finances. This is focusing on society.
May your day be blessed and your thoughts be pure and may you stand tall as an American regardless of how you see yourself after this letter.

jsj

This letter was written by Charles Grennel and his comrades, veterans of the Global War On Terror. Grennel is an Army Reservist who spent two years in Iraq and played an integral part coordinating the first Iraq elections in January 2005.

They wrote it to Jill Edwards, student at the University of Washington, who did not want to honor Medal of Honor winner USMC Colonel Greg Boyington.

Ms. Edwards, other students, and faculty at the University did not think those who serve in the U.S. armed services are good role models.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Jill Edwards, Student, University of Washington


Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs

Miss Edwards, I read of your student activity regarding the proposed memorial to Colonel Greg Boyington, USMC, and a Medal of Honor winner. I suspect you will receive many angry emails from conservative people like me.

You may be too young to appreciate fully the sacrifices of generations of servicemen and servicewomen on whose shoulders you and your fellow students stand. I forgive you for the untutored ways of youth and your naivete. It may be that you are simply a sheep. There's no dishonor in being a sheep, as long as you know and accept what you are.

William J. Bennett, in a lecture to the United States Naval Academy November 24, 1997, said "Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident. We may well be in the most violent times in history, but violence is still remarkably rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people, not capable of hurting each other except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep.

Then there are the wolves who feed on the sheep without mercy. Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that, or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial.

Then there are sheepdogs, and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf. If you have no capacity for violence, then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined [yourself as] an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the unsheltered path.

Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed.

We know that the sheep live in denial, that is what makes them sheep.

They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and fire exits throughout their kids' schools. But many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kids' school. Our children are thousands of times more likely to be killed or seriously injured by school violence than fire, but the sheep's only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their child is just too hard. So they choose the path of denial.

The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot, and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic, such as ours. Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land.

They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports, in camouflage fatigues, holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go Baa. Until the wolf shows up Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.

The students, the victims, at Columbine High School were big, tough high school students, and under ordinary circumstances would not have had the time of day for a police officer. They were not bad kids; they just had nothing to say to a cop. When the school was under attack, however, and SWAT teams were clearing the rooms and hallways, the officers had to physically peel those clinging, sobbing kids off of them.

This is how the little lambs feel about their sheepdog, when the wolf is at the door. Look at what happened after September 11, 2001, when the wolf pounded hard on the door. Remember how America, more than ever before, felt differently about their law enforcement officers and military personnel? Understand that there is nothing morally superior about being a sheepdog; it is just what you choose to be.

Also understand that a sheepdog is a funny critter. He is always sniffing around out on the perimeter, checking the breeze, barking at things that go bump in the night, and yearning for a righteous battle. That is, the young sheepdogs yearn for a righteous battle. The old sheepdogs are a little older and wiser, but they move to the sound of the guns when needed, right along with the young ones.

Here is how the sheep and the sheepdog think differently. The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day.

After the attacks on September 11, 2001, most of the sheep, that is, most citizens in America, said "Thank God I wasn't on one of those planes" The sheepdogs, the warriors, said "Dear God, I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference." You want to be able to make a difference. There is nothing morally superior about the sheepdog, the warrior, but he does have one real advantage. Only one. And that is that he is able to survive and thrive in an environment that would destroy 98 percent of the population.

Research was conducted a few years ago with individuals convicted of violent crimes. These cons were in prison for serious, predatory crimes of violence: assaults, murders, and killing law enforcement officers. The vast majority said they specifically targeted victims by body language:

Slumped walk, passive behavior, and lack of awareness. They chose their victims like big cats do in Africa, when they select one out of the herd that is least able to protect itself.

Some people may be destined to be sheep, and others might be genetically primed to be wolves or sheepdogs. But I believe that most people can choose which one they want to be, and I'm proud to say that more and more Americans are choosing to become sheepdogs.

Seven months after the attack on September 11, 2001, Todd Beamer was honored in his hometown of Cranbury, New Jersey. Todd, as you recall, was the man on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania who called on his cell phone to alert an operator from United Airlines about the hijacking. When they learned of the other three passenger planes that had been used as weapons, Todd and the other passengers confronted the terrorist hijackers. In one hour, a transformation occurred among the passengers - athletes, business people, and parents - from sheep to sheepdogs - and together they fought the wolves, ultimately saving an unknown number of lives on the ground.

Edmund Burke said "There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men." Here is the point I want to emphasize, especially to the thousands of police officers and soldiers I speak to each year. In nature, the sheep, real sheep, are born as sheep. Sheepdogs are born that way, and so are wolves. They don't have a choice.

But you are not a critter. As a human being, you can be whatever you want to be. It is a conscious, moral decision. If you want to be a sheep, then you can be a sheep - and that is okay, but you must understand the price you pay. When the wolf comes, you and your loved ones are going to die, if there is not a sheepdog there to protect you.

If you want to be a wolf, you can be one, but the sheepdogs are going to hunt you down, and you will never have rest, safety, trust, or love. But if you want to be a sheepdog and walk the warrior's path, then you must make a conscious and moral decision every day to dedicate, equip, and prepare yourself to thrive in that toxic, corrosive moment when the wolf comes knocking at the door.

This business of being a sheep or a sheepdog is not a yes/no dichotomy.

It is not an all-or-nothing, either-or choice. It is a matter of degrees, a continuum. On one end is an abject, head-in-the-sand-sheep, and on the other end is the ultimate warrior. Few people exist completely on one end or the other. Most of us live somewhere in between.

Since 9/11, almost everyone in America took a step up that continuum, away from denial. The sheep took a few steps toward accepting and appreciating their warriors, and the warriors started taking their job more seriously.

Its OK to be a sheep, but do not kick the sheepdog. Indeed, the sheepdog may just run a little harder, strive to protect a little better, and be fully prepared to pay an ultimate price in battle and spirit with the sheep moving from "baa" to "thanks."

We do not call for gifts or freedoms beyond our lot. We just need a small pat on the head, a smile, and a thank you, to fill the emotional tank which is drained protecting the sheep. And, when our number is called by The Almighty, and day retreats into night, a small prayer before the heavens just may be in order to say thanks for letting you continue to be a sheep. And be grateful for the millions of American sheepdogs who permit you the freedom to express even bad ideas.

Hope for those suffering from diverticulitis

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis.

As most people with chronic illnesses do, I see my life in two distinct parts: BEFORE Illness and AFTER Illness. BEFORE, I was an active person: riding roller coasters and thrill rides on family vacations, hitting the golf course or the ski slopes, hiking with my sons and our dog, and cheering at my sons' ballgames. I also worked long hours as a Bank Manager. This was only 9 years ago, but it feels like an eternity, maybe even a dream. AFTER, I became a shell of my former self: lying in bed or on a couch, completely absorbed in my own pain and suffering. This agony has only been 8 years, but it too feels like an eternity, maybe even a nightmare. My nightmare came in the form of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis, two inflammatory immune system diseases that crippled me in many ways. It crippled my ability to work because I couldn't keep up the pace; it crippled my high energy with neverending fatigue; it crippled my enthusiasm with relentless, agonizing pain; it crippled my confidence by putting me on a cane, then crutches, and at times, a wheelchair; it crippled my body with attacks on my joints, bones, muscles, heart, lungs and digestive system; and it crippled my family's time because they had to care for me. My Rheumatologist labeled me her 'worst R.A. patient' because it took 4 years to get any of my symptoms under control. And the worst symptom, PAIN, never got under control.

I THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE, but I was wrong. One day, as I sat in a transplant room with my brother who had cancer, I noticed tiny red dots on my palms. The dots began to spread to my feet, legs, arms, trunk, and scalp, everywhere except my face. The dots first turned to blisters, then into large, scaling, oozing, bleeding, sores. The skin literally sloughed off my hands and
feet in large strips, and my feet and legs became swollen more than 3 times normal size. I developed nodules in my lungs, inflammation around my heart, and Diverticulitis in my colon. My pain jumped to levels I didn't think possible; even the air felt like acid on my sore riddled body. I went on 32 doctor appointments in 4 months, because no one could truly diagnose me! At first they thought it was Lymphoma, but it was finally diagnosed as Psoriatic Arthritis. The specialists said the medicine I was taking to treat R.A. may have caused these new, horrifying symptoms. I was treated with massive doses of the steroid Prednisone; a whopping 80mg per day! My Rheumatologist told me "the only safe dosage of steroids is 1mg PER MONTH, so we have to find another answer
FAST, before you lose bone!" Too late- I developed osteoporosis anyway, and gained 60 pounds from the steroids. Worse, I only improved while on the higher dosage of steroids, and every time the dosage was reduced my symptoms actually came back worse than they were before!

I began to pray for death; I had prayed for a healing in the past but now I sincerely begged God to take me home and end this agony. I didn't think my sons would miss me that much; I hadn't been able to be a good mom in years: I couldn't walk, let alone hike, ski, sit through a ballgame, cook or clean. All I could do was lie in my bed, moaning in pain and looking like a burn victim with my body slathered in prescription ointment and covered with plastic wrap, Second-Skin patches, white cotton gloves, and men's X-Large size white cotton clothing. Shirt sleeves and pant legs had to be cut to fit over my swollen, raw body. I began an aggressive regime of Methotrexate injections (a type of chemotherapy), and Remicade I.V. infusions. These were also dangerous drugs, but I was desperate! So were my specialists. And the treatment did provide some relief: my skin began to heal, and my pain level went back down to a level 8 out of 10. Yes, my pain was still 8 out of 10, plus I still had horrible stiffness, and energy-draining fatigue. I was grateful for the improvement but still very ill. I had to sell my house and buy one with my Mom and Sister so they could care for me. Of course moving caused me new problems. I began to have horrible throat infections, one after another. Only the biggest, strongest antibiotics worked and then only temporarily. But I didn't have time to worry about this new ailment because something else was about to happen and this time it was not happening to me, but to my beloved mother.

The Big Whammy! My 86 year old mother developed multiple infections, including Staph, when her colon was perforatedcolonscopy, spewing deadly bacteria into her abdomen. My 2 sisters and I brought her home after 2 ½ months in the hospital and although her infections were under control, her nutrition levels had dropped so low that she was near death. She couldn't tolerate the feeding tube, and couldn't keep down Boost or Ensure drinks. Also we discovered she had a second hole in her colon called a 'fistula A Colo-Rectal Surgeon said this type and size of fistula NEVER heals on its own and the only solution was surgery to perform a PERMANENT COLOSTOMY! We were devastated. Mom had lived through all those infections, 2 blood infusions, compression fractures, and ulcers--only to face being physically altered forever! Mom was too weak for surgery and the surgeon set it up for 2
months later, giving us time to improve her strength and nutrition levels. We prayed for a miracle. And that's when my old friends Craig and Teresa Jefferson called to tell me about NIKKEN. They'd heard I was ill, but I told them we needed to save my mom first. My dear friends said "let's save you both". We immediately bought the Pi-
Mag Water system, and Protein Shakes--astounded to read on the label that the Kenzen shakes have double the nutrition of Boost or Ensure! And we mixed the shake powder with V-8 brand V-Fusion juice because it gives you 1 full serving of fruit and vegetables in every 8 ounce glass. My mom's results were almost instantaneous: she walked for the first time in 6 months! And after using the FIR Light on her abdomen and backside, daily for 2 months, the IMPOSSIBLE happened--- her fistula HEALED completely!! The Colo-Rectal Surgeon was amazed, first at mom's energy, and then at the disappearance of the fistula. He confided that after her first appointment, he didn't think she'd live through the surgery! And now she didn't need surgery at all; the horror of a Permanent Colostomy was avoided! Her recovery was nothing short of a miracle. It was some time later that I realized my throat infections stopped when I began drinking Pi-Mag Water.

We wanted more! Next we borrowed a Sleep System, and got Insoles, a Seat Pad, and loose magnets to place in our clothing pockets. I ordered myself the Joint Support but couldn't take it right away because I developed a new set of symptoms: a rash of hives, migraine headaches, nausea & vomiting, high blood pressure and rapid heart rate. I began to have allergy-type reactions to everything I put into my body, including food and medications. Every chemical, like air freshener, or candles, made the symptoms worse. I went to the Emergency Room thinking I was having a stroke. It wasn't a stroke.

Another challenge had come my way: my liver function was failing, because of the chemotherapy drug. I was told to stop taking the drug, get a liver biopsy and start treatment. I was terrified because that drug, coupled with my I.V. infusions were the only thing keeping the sores away. I begged for a two month delay to see if my liver would heal on its own. I didn't really think it would, but I was overwhelmed at the thought of more treatments, or worse, having the sores return. Again Craig and Teresa Jefferson came to my rescue. Out of the thousands of emails floating around the NIKKEN world, Craig read the story of Cari Roundy, a courageous gal from Texas. Her ailments and symptoms seemed nearly identical to mine. So I took my lead from her story and began the Liver Support. ALL MY LIVER SYMPTOMS WERE GONE IN 4 DAYS! Now it was time to tackle the arthritis pain!

Healing takes time is something my brother told me when he was battling cancer 2 years ago. "Miracles come in an instant, but healings take time", he said. He and I also promised each other that WHEN we were healed we would start a business to help sick people. We also had a sister with cancer, and between the 3 of us, we knew more medical jargon than any non-medical people should know. We didn't know what type of business it would be; we just wanted to help other sick and hurting people. My sister beat cancer but our brother passed away November 2005. I was still so ill I didn't know if I could get through his funeral. I had to wear men's house slippers and use crutches. I was also miserable because I knew I couldn't keep that promise "to help others". I recalled his words again when at first, I didn't get better on the Sleep System...when 2 , then 5, then 7 weeks went by and no change. But during the 8th week I began to heal. I woke up one day and did not need my wheelchair. Another week and I no longer needed my crutches or cane to get around! My life had always revolved around the 13+ pills I took every day: pills for arthritis, pain, sleep, muscle spasms, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and Diverticulitis. I had weekly injections and an I.V. infusion every 6 weeks. And now I've reduced my daily intake from 13 pills, down to 2. I no longer take the chemotherapy injections, so my liver should remain healthy. CIAGA has quieted the Diverticulitis and I've just started the Joint Support which I fully believe will bring me closer to the before Illness me. My brother was right...Healings Do Take Time! It took 8 years for my body to deteriorate, but only 8 weeks to begin healing it.
The answer to my prayers was not death, it was LIFE! On my last visit to the pain management clinic, my doctor DID NOT RECOGNIZE ME---HE even INTRODUCED himself to me. When he opened my chart and saw my name he said "Holy Mackerel, Emma I didn't recognize you; you look healthy, and well! He called for his staff to come see me saying, "Do you remember Ms Coccari, she was in a wheelchair before, and look at her now!" I gave him lots of NIKKEN information to review. He says he is a True Believer because he has seen it work--he has seen ME! Dr. Ackerman has asked if he could refer certain patients to me and I've invited him to attend NIKKEN meetings. Finally, I can again be a good Mom, Sister, Daughter, and Friend. I have a new prayer: "God, please let me be bold for NIKKEN". This is the business my brother and I dreamed about. I can keep that promise now! And
after being a pain-controlled recluse for years, I now invite everyone to come see me in Berea, Kentucky. But you won't find me at home: I'll be sitting high up in the center bleachers at my son's ballgames, cheering wildly! God Bless NIKKEN, and everyone who helped me!

Hope for those suffering from Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is also known as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Possible causes including: injury, age, congenital predisposition and obesity. It is characterized by the breakdown of the articular cartilage within the joint. Articular cartilage is a firm rubbery protein material covering the end of a bone. It acts as a cushion or shock absorber between the bones. When articular cartilage breaks down, this cushion is lost, and the bones will grind together. This causes the development of symptoms such as pain, swelling, bone spur formation and decreased motion. Osteoarthritis commonly affects weight bearing joints such as the knee, but it may affect any joint.

How does one thank a company for giving back, and savings ones life? Sound like too much? Two years ago, I was given a number to all, by a lady who cared enough about me, to CARE! She wasn't even a distributor, but the mother of one. It took me three weeks, but I did make that call, thank God. On Sept. of '98 I started using the products. I became a distributor in Oct. of '98. Although I am only an executive in level, I have been
my own best customer. I have incontinence, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, degenerative disease of the back with several herniated disks causing sever sciatica, messed up feet from several bad operations and arthritis, ongoing tendonitis and bursitis due to labor intensity related to my job (40 to 50 hours a week) and tinnitus (ears). Add to that a stress related life one would never want to trade with me for, burns, broken toes and Big time all around DISCOMFORTS. I have great humbleness of gratitude to Nikken. Had I not had these products at the exact time I did, I would have lost my job due to disability. My back and sciatica were so intense, my lack of sleep and leg weakness were to the breaking point. The epidural shots I was getting were to the point of no help, and an operation was looming. Still is for that matter, but I have held it off for two years, with these products. When breast cancer was detected in Aug. of 99, I would NOT have done anything to save my life, as it really held no meaning for me any more. My personal life was a disaster, and I was clinically depressed to the point of actually praying for cancer to take me out!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had lost one son at the age of 33 and were about to lose another living with us who had diabetes at the age of 36. (we did lose our son Glen this past Aug 15th) He had multiple related problems and no quality of life. Well,---enter Nikken! A year later, I was diagnosed with cancer. I now had people who cared, were supportive and encouraging. I also had a new quality of life, I had only dreamed to have. (in fact that was my only dream, for the past 20 years or more). I was now almost free of P--n and able to work like a 20 year old. (I'm 63) I also had a wonderful surgeon I loved and respected. God put me here for a purpose folks. I came thru the operation with all signs of cancer gone. I took radiation for 11 weeks and continued with flying colors. I have remained fine until a few weeks ago. No cancer- but the return of several of my problems contained and controlled for over 2 years.. This brings me to the point. I now have a lot of discomfort. BBBBuuuuuuuuutttttt. I know----the reason for it. Overwork physically, on top of high stress, which combined to aggravate the conditions I have, which are permanent. I am loaded up again on many of our products-Nutritionals, magnetic, and fir. In time, I know most will calm down again, and I will be OK. This is something all of us should stress to our customers. When one has the faith in, the commitment to, and the belief in this company and its expertise, there should be no hesitation what so ever in answering someone who questions these products after a week, month, year or several years use, and doesn't seem to work any more. They DO work. They WILL work . They will eventually kick in again. One has to realize that our personal ongoing lives have a bearing on interrupted results in Nikken products, just as misuse or stress levels affect medications too. So- Believe in Nikken. Trust Nikken. Love Nikken . And spread the word about Nikken. Nikken will change our world someday. With it's love and help to all mankind.
Love to all of you--Cindy Willis

I have osteoarthritis throughout my whole body - Nikken changed my life 5 years ago - I was going to the Chiropractor every other day - excruciating "discomfort" was the norm. I was lent some products and ...as the story goes...the rest was history. I sleep on a full sleep system (ie mattress pad, pillow and comforter), I use magsteps in my shoes daily, I wear a bracelet and a necklace daily, I drink PiMag water, take CM (joint), and periodically if I know I am going to be either sitting around all day (ie at a Wellness Expo) or doing something physically strenuous (such as shoveling snow), I will put my back wrap and my back flex on. I wouldn't be without my Nikken products - they changed my life so drastically that I became passionate about them to become a distributor.

I have a very good friend whose mother is on a wheelchair due to osteoarthritis. She bought the sleep system, seat, soles and magboy. She found the products make a huge difference on pain and therefore her life! Simple things like getting up or down on her own, brushing her hair and to tell the truth she became a much nicer person!

My 91 year old mother-in-law has had four compression fractures followed by Kyphoplasty which stablizes them. For her general comfort, she swears by the CM Cream (won't go to bed without having her back rubbed down with it). She also sits on the Kenkoseat during the day and takes the Joint Formula religiously. We think the PiMag water would also be beneficial, but at her age she doesn't cooperate on that issue. All in all, our products really seem to help her tremendously so we feel blessed!

I have a bad case of osteoarthritis of both knees. I was on Vioxx for awhile and then on Celebrex. About a year ago, I was able to get off Celebrex by taking the Joint supplement. I take other supplements and drink a lot of PiMag water which, I'm sure, contributes to the absence of pain in my legs but I feel the Joint was the primary cause for my relief.

I have a bad case of osteoarthritis of both knees. I have had one knee scoped and had taken Vioxx on a daily basis. There were days that the pain just sucked the desire for any activity right out of me. I got the KenkoWave and it has made a difference. I haven't had a Vioxx for a couple of months. And, I'm reasonably active. I don't feel like new, but I have good function in the knees without the persistent pain. I also use FIR knee wrap with magnets.

Participants: 194 men and women aged 45-80 years with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Intervention: Wearing a standard strength static bipolar magnetic bracelet, a weak magnetic bracelet, or a non-magnetic (dummy) bracelet for 12 weeks. Conclusion: Pain from osteoarthritis of the hip and knee decreases when wearing magnetic bracelets. It is uncertain whether this response is due to specific or non-specific (placebo) effects. Magnetic bracelets reduce pain in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, according to a study funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign. Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School, Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, said they could not be certain whether the resulting reduction in pain could be attributed to the specific effect of the magnets or the placebo effect, or both. The study was published in the Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal. Patients wore either a standard strength magnetic bracelet, a weak magnetic bracelet, or a non-magnetic (dummy) bracelet for 12 weeks. Changes in pain were recorded using a recognized pain scoring scale. They found a significant reduction in pain scores between the standard and dummy magnet groups. The results for the weak magnet group were similar to those of the dummy magnets, which suggests that the magnetic strength of the bracelet is important. The (one-off) cost of bracelets also compared well with that of painkillers, such as paracetamol and anti-inflammatory drugs, and larger investigations should now test the safety of magnets relative to the well-known risks of these drugs, said the team. A spokeswoman for the Arthritis Research Campaign said: "We funded this study because we wanted to establish if there was any evidence for the claims made on behalf of magnetic bracelets; and we didn't want the public to waste their money on devices that didn't work. "Results appear to show that wearing a magnetic bracelet does reduce pain in people with hip and knee osteoarthritis although it is still unclear whether this effect is due in some part to the placebo effect. As magnetic bracelets are quite cheap and safe, people with osteoarthritis might want to consider wearing them as part of their self-help regime." Study URL:

I have been born into a family with a long genetic line of osteoarthritis. At 45, I started to see changes in two of my fingers. I immediately went on the joint formula which I take religiously twice a day (two capsules twice a day) and wear the bracelet. My joints have not increased in size and I do not experience any further discomfort or stiffness except on the WORST of weather days andthat is when I might have taken my bracelet off or run out of joint formula. If I stick to my program I am fine.

I have a long time client with severe Osteoarthritis. She continues to use Joint nutrition on a regular basis. When she started drinking the PiMag water, she noticed a tremendous relief. Occasionally now her finger will "lock up" at night, and she said the CM Cream provides almost immediate relief and flexibility.

I HAD Osteoarthritis, I say had because it doesn't bother me any more. What I have taken or done, is CM formula as suggested to take, used a vest, taken the Calcium Plus and now OsteoDenx. I have seen a chiropractor and a nutritionalist. All this has taken away the pain I USED TO HAVE.

I have osteoarthritis and it has affected all my joints. Many discs have fused in my neck and back. Before Nikken I had severe migraines, and back and hip pain. I started wearing the necklace and I had no more migraines. I sleep on a Nikken sleep system and have the water and take Joint, Liver Support, OsteoDenx for that condition. The PalmMag and back flex were very helpful. I seldom use them now. The nutritionals are making a huge difference. This was year 3 in Nikken and this year I did my yard work with no back flex and no pain. I have had many health issues that have improved thanks to our Wellness Home.

Hope for our Veterans challenged with Agent Orange issues.

Agent Orange was contaminated by the experimental carcinogen 2,3,7,8-
tetrachlorodibenzoparadioxin (TCDD). A link between agent orange (dioxin) and a plethora of
alleged health problems (cancers, birth defects) is evident within many soldiers who were
exposed. In 1997 the government decided to compensate Vietnam vets whose children have
neural tube defects.

I have a heart and desire to help our veterans. Will go to Operation American Heroes you will see a great organization focused on making a difference in the lives of our first responders including our veterans. If we as American band to together and all help a little we will make a significant difference in the lives of those who make it possible for us to live the quality life we live. Thank you to all who want to help and are helping.
The testimony below might be useful to someone you know and passing this on to them could be an answer to prayer.

Agent Orange Testimonial (updated 1-20-06)
(These testimonials are not endorsed by Nikken. They are from people like you and me. We make NO MEDICAL CLAIMS -- and we do not claim to heal or cure)
From: rjnoddings@5pillars.com
Since I was medically evacuated out of Vietnam, I have had numerous physical problems. Because of significant discomfort in several parts of my body, the Army put me on heavy narcotics. At first it was just a few pills per day, but by the time I was medically discharged in Dec. 1977 I was up to 5 to 6 per day. All these did was dull the discomfort so I could function at an acceptable level.

As the years progressed, I found my health getting increasingly worse. In 1994, I was hospitalized for shortness of breath, extreme tightness in my chest, and discomfort shooting down my arm. Following that hospitalization, I was also put on medication to address the increasing dizziness and tiredness that I felt. I had increasingly worse problems with my muscles and bones aching all over. I was told that nothing could be done, and that I should resign myself to a future in a wheelchair.

I spent 1995 sleeping on my couch because I could no longer walk up stairs to my bedroom, even with my cane. I swallowed my pride and had a chairlift installed, at a cost of $7,500.00 so that I could sleep in my bed. I was up to 15 narcotic pills per day, just to function at a minimal level within the world of life and business. Even at this level of medication my discomfort was at a dull roar. In 1997, I was hospitalized a second time for the same conditions as in 1994, and my medications were increased dramatically.

I can’t remember a day passing that I didn’t pray to die. I knew I didn’t want to live like this and knew that it was getting worse with each passing month. I was fighting everyday to stay out of a wheelchair.

When I went to bed I would wake up every 45 to 60 minutes because I hurt so much. It would then take me 15 to 20 minutes to get back to sleep, only to wake again later. In the mornings my body was so stiff that it took all my will power to force a full range of motion before I could get dressed and ready for yet another day.

I tried everything I saw or heard of, without any improvement. The doctors tried every known medication, without results. I was always tired, frustrated, angry, and depressed. It took every bit of energy I could muster to get through each day and to deal with others well enough to keep my construction company alive and well.

Finally, I had to force myself to ask others for help buttoning my shirts, tying my shoes, brushing and flossing my teeth, opening bottles, sewing, working on cars, carpentry, and many other things.

I was surprised when Janet said she would be my wife. Later, I felt guilty for asking her and on many occasions attempted to talk her out of the wedding. After all, it wasn’t fair of me to saddle her with a “cripple”. The list of things I couldn’t do far exceeded the list of my physical capabilities. I was losing hope for the future and, in my denial, held onto dreams that were physically unrealistic.

A year ago, I was at Sam’s Club purchasing some new office equipment. I was taking a break and eating a hot dog and a man asked if he could sit at my table, since the rest of the tables were full. He began a conversation with me and gave me a short product presentation.

Later, I agreed to attend a Wellness Preview, where they put products on one side of my body. I sat and listened to amazing testimonials. After around 50 min. they asked for their products back. I was amazed that the side with product no longer hurt as much, while the other side was still “screaming”.

We began using as many of the products as we could. We had nothing to lose and everything to gain… I was desperate to do anything. I began noticing dramatic results. After just seven months of using the products, my doctor took me off all medications except for my stomach pill. Now I sleep all night without hurting, and I wake up feeling rested, jump out of bed, and am ready for the day! I don’t need help with anything anymore…I button my own shirts, I can even thread a needle. I have been totally off of the narcotic pills for over 4 months. I don’t need a cane anymore, and I haven’t used my chairlift in over 6 months. Now, not only can I walk stairs…I can RUN up and down stairs! I no longer have discomfort anywhere in my body!! What an incredible change!! I no longer pray to die…I thank God that I am LIVING! I have a totally new life now, one that I enjoy awaking to everyday. I actually feel younger than I have felt since I was 18 years old. I’m excited about living and about the future. I thank GOD, daily, for the person who showed me these life-changing products. I love sharing that same gift with others, and our future looks bright!

My testimony is also on the following tape: Stories of Challenge, Stories of Change. This is available through Blue Ribbon Video as a very low cost, and no I receive nothing from the sale of these tapes, I did it for free. Or you may do a 3 way call with me. My phone number is: 402-438-2898.

A Vietnam vet who is an Agent Orange victim was on wheel chair and could walk with difficulty with cane. After one hour on the Body Energizer he got up and tried squatting with great success. He said that he couldn't do that for 30 years and everyone present cried. (He also was able to walk around the whole day without cane.) He bought the complete wellness home paks right there. He and his wife drove 5 hours to Irvine the next day to pick up the wellness home products since he wanted to use them as soon as possible. He and his wife became Silvers in one week!
