Bipolar Testimonials offer hope for the challenge

Bipolar Depression Testimonials (updated 4-2-08)

Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people go back and forth between periods of a very good or irritable mood and depression. The "mood swings" between mania and depression can be very quick.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Bipolar disorder affects men and women equally. It usually starts between ages 15 - 25. The exact cause is unknown, but it occurs more often in relatives of people with bipolar disorder.

Types of bipolar disorder:

·   People with bipolar disorder type I have had at least one manic episode and periods of major depression. In the past, bipolar disorder type I was called manic depression.

·   People with bipolar disorder type II have never had full mania. Instead they experience periods of high energy levels and impulsiveness that are not as extreme as mania (called hypomania). These periods alternate with episodes of depression.

·   A mild form of bipolar disorder called cyclothymia involves less severe mood swings. People with this form alternate between hypomania and mild depression. People with bipolar disorder type II or cyclothymia may be wrongly diagnosed as having depression.

I helped a women with Bipolar depression who regularly took three dosages of lithium (morning, noon and night) reduced her meds to once a day within 30 days of using the magnetic magsteps. Prior to this even taking the three dosages she was still unstable, now she's on top of the world. We have had wonderful results with other adults as well with Bipolar depression.

My son was diagnosed with Bipolar. Our products worked so well in helping him with his body working more optimally and sleeping better. It helped him to start concentrating on what his body needed for health and not on the specific problem. The meds our son was given did not help him at all and after concentrating on health, he has been off any meds for 2 ½ years and is a delightful, bright young man of 19.

My daughter who is Bipolar noticed immediate improvement when she began sleeping on the Intellirest magnetic mattress pad. She says it makes her feel much calmer and in control. I know that it was the final answer we were searching for after months of medication and therapy alone had not done the trick. She is still on medication, but that alone had not been enough to "normalize" her. She was about 70% there, and now with Nikken, she is 100%. Also, Nikkens Mental Clarity works wonders for mood imbalances and depression! If I run out, I have two or three miserable days until my express shipment from Nikken arrives! It also works really well for PMS.

My husband has been Bi-polar for 33 years and was undiagnosed for 25 years after returning from 3 tours of duty in Viet Nam. In that time he suffered from high stress levels, anxiety, loose bowels, and severe sleep deprivation. We started using the Nikken products 4 years ago, starting with the magnetic Magsteps and necklace. We added the energy sleep system, nutritionals and far-infrared comforter one month later. It took 2 weeks before he could sleep on the system for the entire night. After that he began to sleep for the entire night. Over a period of time now he has reduced his stress levels significantly. The Nikken technologies are helping bring normalcy into our lives.

My mother has Schizophrenia (and Bipolar II--Manic Depression). I put together a Wellness Plan Notebook including testimonials, research, and Nikken materials, and presented to the doctors and the treatment team at the mental hospital where my mom has been these last two months. She is using the flip-top filtration water bottle and magnetic tote, the magnetic soft pillow, and the magnetic insoles. Her hallucinations and delusions have diminished, and she sleeps better than she has in a very long time (like a baby, she says, and has been this way since she began sleeping on the pillow). I remind her to drink the water, and when she does she seems to calm down significantly. The doctors are reducing her medications gradually. She was on 8 medicines and now she is on 4.

I had a distributor awhile back who said she was bipolar and had great results from the mattress pad and the quilt. Which makes sense since the far-infrared is absorbing the 'SUN'S ENERGY' this seemed to help her so much she signed up.

I have used the sleep system, insoles, and necklace for a lady who is Bi-polar and it has helped some with her condition. I would use the insoles and sleep system for children and if old enough add the necklace. Amazing technologies that work!

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

(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)

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—once called shell shock—affects hundreds of thousands of people who have survived earthquakes, airplane crashes, terrorist bombings, inner-city  violence, domestic abuse, rape, war, genocide, and other disasters, both natural and human made.

FROM: ruths@usunwired.net

I am working as a therapist with numerous people who have experienced trauma who are benefiting from use of Nikken products.  Several have developed Multiple Personality Disorders. All describe themselves as much more focused and 'grounded' when wearing magsteps. I now encourage all my dissociative clients to consider them. One client who was tortured from birth to age 15 has experienced numerous somatic problems for years and also has always felt cold. She now feels comfortable when wearing the Nikken 'long johns' and wraps herself in the comforter. In the past she spent a small fortune attempting to get relief from physicians for the somatic complaints--without success. She now realizes that these are body memories (the body stores all that!) and simply sticks a magnet on the area that hurts until her next therapy session. I would recommend any and all Nikken products to survivors of trauma-- sleep system, magsteps, nutritionals and whatever else the wallet allows.  I am a clinical social worker in private practice. I am currently working primarily with trauma, phobia, panic, etc. Fortunately I stumbled upon EMDR and have been trained in that. In the past I have worked with mental retardation and terminal illness. I like the freedom of private practice and it allows me to take time for Nikken.  EMDR stands for Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing which is the most effective way I know to help people resolve both bit T and small t trauma. It is powerful and VERY effective. Feel free to call.  337-436-3587. EMDR is just fabulous. I have used it for 5 or 6 years.  I didn’t get into Nikken for financial reasons. My husband is doing fabulously well as an attorney. We have plenty in savings. Our kids have all they could ever want. And, I love my practice! But I do want to give people the opportunity to have health and balance and I find Nikken’s philosophy works and is in congruence with my own. It’s a wonderful gift to be able to not help people to have better health, but also to have financial freedom as well.

I have been a police officer in Australia for around 13 years and during that time I have nearly been killed on numerous occasions. That, coupled with the unnatural high risk, traumatic situations we often find ourselves in, resulted in my being diagnosed and treated, in 1997, for the same traumatic stress related illnesses some war veterans get after battle, or near death encounters. The psych I saw dealt with my problem by prescribing various anti-depressant drugs, each with over twenty unpleasant side effects, which I could literally mark off as they came.

When my condition stopped improving the answer was, move to a different drug new to the market, or take more of what I was on.   Although some form of medication was necessary in the beginning to help stop the spiral out of control, I ended up taking 1,200 milligrams of a very powerful drug, daily, just to function and get up in the morning. It felt like I was floating two feet off the ground.  In reality, I felt 'higher' than some criminals I had arrested for drug offenses, although my drugs were "legal".  In addition to this I had recurring nightmares every night, without fail, to such an extent I was afraid to go to sleep. Chronic insomnia was the diagnosis and again, this was dealt with using sleeping drugs. I tried two strengths, both of which failed to get me to sleep.  The third one actually gave me around 3 - 4 hours sleep and although that was dream free, I rapidly became totally dependent on those sleeping tablets. I was out of control, continually tired with no energy, angry, confused, and a very unpleasant person to be around.

This condition took a huge toll on my marriage, family, and our finances, given the fact that in the beginning, after diagnosis, I drank at least one bottle of spirits per day for 91 days, to try and deal with what was happening inside me. The Doctors called it "self medication". The police service sent me to a further five medical health professionals and each one assessed and treated me the same way, recommending massive doses of prescription drugs. After several years of this, in November of 1999 my wife gave me an ultimatum, come to see a counselor or she was leaving with our daughter. We went and saw a guy who worked with his partner,  operating an alternative health clinic. I wondered out loud what could he possibly offer me that all the health professionals could not?  He had recently returned from North America and showed me a pair of magnetic insoles called Magsteps. He explained they were from a giant Japanese company called Nikken and could possibly help me get more energy in my day.  Given my health situation at that time I was willing to try anything, so with guarded skepticism, I followed his instructions and borrowed a pair. I wore them daily, and after around three weeks, on the first day of January 2000, without telling anyone, I threw away all my medications. Now that on it's own is not remarkable, because I had done that before, and usually within three or four days my old unpleasant self would return and I'd be right back where I began. What really caught my attention this time was the fact that it didn't happen!! I waited and waited and nothing. No withdrawals from either drug!! (Earlier, when I changed medications it required at least a week off work to wean me) I was really excited and could hardly contain myself.  I began taking them from my shoes and sleeping on them under my lower back or under my head, and after several more weeks, for the first time since I could remember, I slept one whole night, drug free, all by myself, without any nightmares. Over the following weeks the nightmares became less and less frequent, to a point where I was really sleeping. In March 2000 my wife, who is a registered nurse, asked me if I needed another prescription filled, as I should have been getting low. I told her I had stopped taking the drugs and she was amazed when I said it was since January 1st. By using these products I have regained control of myself, my quality of life and that of my family has improved dramatically and when Nikken came to Australian shores in November of 2000 we were compelled to join many thousands of others in sharing these technologies & this opportunity.  We now use many products in our daily lives and have achieved a more balanced, relaxed lifestyle. I still have the odd bad day, but our marriage has gone from strength to strength, and I have returned to work educating and training other police. Nikken truly is an amazing alternative with nothing for you to lose, except maybe what's bothering you! It certainly gave me back my life!! Feel free to contact me by e-mail me should you require more information about this type of condition and never be afraid to try something new.

Sleep Apnia 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 w edo not claim to heal or cure)

   Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops and starts during sleep. It is usually

associated with snoring. Snoring is just a sign that the upper airway calibre has narrowed to a

critical degree. Much like water that flows through a narrowing (i.e. a canyon) speeds up creating

turbulence and noise, so too does air that has to flow through a narrowed upper airway at night.

If the narrowing becomes too severe it promotes closure of the airway resulting in an apnea. An

apnea is arbitrarily defined as a cessation of airflow that lasts at least ten seconds. A hypopnea is

defined as a significant reduction in airflow lasting at least ten seconds and usually associated

with a decline in a person's oxygen level.

From: Cccfreedom@aol.com

I have a consultant who signed up because she had dealt with sleep apnea for a long time and could not sleep unless she wore a ‘forced air’ unit (which I call a snorkling machine) and I suggested she try our sleep system and loaned her the pad, pillow, and FIR comforter for one week. She does not have to use the ‘forced air’ anymore. She sleeps on the pad and the pillow.

This person I’ve been working with has a sleeping snoring disorder with an oxygen machine. During the one week trial he had immediate results the first night. No waking up, much less snoring and less tossing and turning and not using the machine once.  Every houseguest we have uses the sleep system and they all agree it is fantastic. Don't forget that an exhausted body cannot heal itself. Self-healing happens when you are sleeping, especially during the REM stage and the KenkoPad/Sleep System helps to provide that restful sleep.

For years Bill had the sleep disorder causing house shaking snoring and stopped breathing for minutes at a time when he was asleep.  He did not sleep well, getting up about 9-12 times a night and he always ended up the night moving to his chair to sleep better (?). He was never "rested" and would fall asleep easily and often during the day, even in important meetings and while driving. We finally got an appointment with a surgeon to correct the problem, which is not what we really wanted to do.  While we were waiting the weeks for the appointment date, enter Nikken into our lives. I noticed once on the sleep system, (Kenkopad, comforter, firm pillow), he was only getting up twice a night at the most and quit ending the night sleeping in his chair.  Then, (after a week or so), I noticed his breathing and snoring pattern change. His snoring lessened in volume almost nightly. He quit stopping breathing and breathed normally. We cancelled the appointment with the surgeon. After several weeks and now, 3 years later, he gets up only once or twice at the most in the early morning. He snores no more; the worst is only loud breathing and not even that most of the time. He wakes up rested.  A gentleman in our organization had the same problem and was "sentenced" to sleep in another part of the house. He got the pillow and the sleep mask and his sleep disorder has gone away! These products let our bodies do the work they want to do!

I have been sleeping with the kenko mattress pad, FIR comforter an d pillow for about a year now. I have also been using the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device during that time. Acid reflux seems to go hand in hand with the condition I had but have Donna

From: jean2019@chartermi.net

I had sleep apnea diagnosed from a sleep lab and was placed on nasal CPAP about 1 year before I was introduced to Nikken. I also snored like a train! I have had chronic neck problems (including cervical fusions) for 20 years. I woke up all those years with a chronic headache and would take Excedrin upon rising. After 2 months on the regular Nikken pillow, I realized I was no longer waking up with a headache every day. Then, 6 months into using the sleep system, including the pillow, my nasal CPAP machine broke while on a trip. The other 2 ladies I traveled with had to go through my bedroom to use the bathroom and reported they NEVER heard an apnea episode and that the snoring was very gentle on the occasions they heard it. I spent 2 months after that trip sleeping in a room net to my parents and they checked my breathing during the night and in the morning (I slept in). They NEVER heard the

apnea and occasional gentle snoring. I've been off the CPAP now for 7months and wouldn't leave home without my pillow.

I have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and though the SLEEP SYSTEM helped, especially wearing extra large MENS LONGJOHN SHIRT, I have not dreamed for a long time, not getting deep enough into sleep UNTIL I used the PalmMag all night long. WOW!  And some of the dreams were REALLY good! I also use it while driving, putting it on the car seat between my knees to keep them from tightening up (keep credit cards away - I am on my third Shell card).

From: vze32qsb@verizon.net

I suffered a sleep disorder (stop breathing 12 -14 events per night) that causes me to wake without bringing me to a consciousness level, but out of the deeper sleep (most restful) levels. I remember the sleep specialist telling me she wanted to take my watch off my wrist the previous night during the study, but could not as it may have caused me another event by waking me. This watch which was one of those electronic types that beeped so precisely on the hour and it (the noise) was causing my Q-wave to bounce for minutes after this innocent beep!!! beep!!! I could not imagine what snoring was doing to my sleep or my former wife's sleep. I do not use the medical device (C-PAP unit) since I'm using the NIKKEN sleep system. Four weeks to the results of waking feeling rested and without the alarm clock. I had previously slept through and showed up at work late while using the C-PAP!!! In those 4 weeks while using the system, I was waking up at 6:24 A.M. every day I would look over and see this same time. The alarm was set for 6:30 A.M.  In that first few days in Feb. I got out of bed for a bathroom break (increased liver and bladder function I suspect) only to hear a strange noise coming from the bedroom (it was the middle of the night for all I knew at the time being February in New England, the clock on the night stand faces towards the bathroom direction.) It was the clock radio alarm. I am in this Nikken business to help others like me who could not believe something like a magnet could change how my health level would be effected positively. I can

tell you I have changed my OPINION, in a big way!!!

  The cost of the sleep studies (2, 1 to diagnose me and 1 to balance the C-PAP) $1,200.00 each and the C-PAP $900.00 and various attachments face mask and hose. In the end it did not work. I most likely would be looking at another sleep study. More $$, no Medical guarantees here either, just more of my time and money. The sleep system cost me less than a (1) sleep study forget the CPAP.

That was the cheap way out as surgery would have been much more. Surgery are you nuts... I don't want any scalpels in my throat and nose... or Micro-wave energy sources either... thanks very much! 

I have returned to skiing, due to the product use. I am no slouch on the slopes I can assure you. I had purchased a time share at the base of Loon Mountain 4 years ago. I started using these products 3 years ago and started skiing 2 3/4 years ago after 28 years away from it!!! I was very reluctant to go but I was harassed into going by my Aunt Nancy and her boy friend Brooks Bennett. I skied 3 days in succession, I would not have gone a second day but the third was on my Credit Card for all 3 of us, as I was so excited about this experience that I had been denied for so long due to a bad back and neck injury in high school football. WHAT week did I purchase for the Time Share??? Week 29, July!!! Had I been a skier I would have purchased week 5 or 6 in February. I am going on vacation today, yes, Pollard Brook at Loon Mt. Lincoln, NH. Week 29!!!

 I will say that I was so skeptical about these products at first, but now I'm learning what I don't know... I don't know. I am learning what a wonderful world I live in and hope this, may I never know what I'm preventing for myself or for others. I want to thank everyone at Nikken and my Sponsor's Bob Wheeler and Patti Quinn for this all natural non-invasive approach to my health returned in so many many ways.  I will be a NIKKEN "Wellness Consultant", until I am pushing up daisy's!

My boyfriend had sleep apnea and would average 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night for years before we met. He woke himself up every night and could not go back to sleep. Since we have been sleeping on the sleep system and he uses the hard pillow he sleeps all the way though the night with no problems. All of his friends see a difference in him also. It makes a difference when your body is resting and you wake up rested and refresh. If he changes pillows I see him start to snore and when he goes back to the Nikken pillow he stops. When he is laying on his back he sleeps better.

My husband was "continually tired". He could fall asleep driving a car, visiting, standing up or sitting down. We had 3 sleep studies done on him to find out that he had Sleep Apnea and Narcolopsy (day-time). The sleep system helped immediately and the Kenko Seat has kept him awake while driving. My daughter was here, from out-of-state, and said how she noticed he could stay awake and visit now. It's been over 5 years now, and there have been no flare-ups. If you would like to speak to him, write us at our e-mail address & we'll give you our home phone number.   ----------------------------------------------------------------

I have, or had, sleep apnea. For years I slept with the mask on, connected to the air machine and in recent years, to an oxygen machine. I started drinking the water with wonderful results in general health. The next step was the optimizer, that made me feel even better, then the sleep system which has turned my life completely around. I have the mattress, the comforter and the pillows. Having read information on the results of this on sleep apnea, right here, on my own I stopped using the machines (my it is nice, not having to haul those around with me, when I travel, wherever I go).  I talked to my Dr. about it because I no longer snore or stop breathing at night... he would not comment on the products or the results even though he sure listened when I told him about it. This was a personal decision and one I did not make lightly. I do not recommend it to others, I tell them all about it then they make their own decisions but it would be too much of a coincidence if it weren't the sleep system that is making the difference. My fibromyalgia is almost non-existent too so you can see why I am so enthused.

I was introduced to Nikken by my daughter. She put a pair of Magsteps in my shoes & told me to wear them. In one day, lower back & leg issues that I had from an auto accident in 1956 disappeared. I was so excited I ordered $5000 of product. Five years prior to that experience, I was diagnosed with what the Dr. said was the most severe case of sleep apnea he had seen in his 7 years of working with sleeping disorders.  I had been sleeping on an elevated bed with a C/pap machine adjusted to its highest performance. I had to purchase the pad, because of the elevated bed. I strapped the pad to the bed. Within a month, I would awake to find my sleep mask on the floor. I asked the Dr. if I

could be tested again in the sleep clinic with my travel pad, hard pillow & sleep comforter. He agreed only, if I had an apnea attack, they would wake me and put on the Mask. They awoke me at the normal time (5:30 am). They said I had 3 very slight attacks between 4:10 am & 4:25 am. Prior to Nikken I was averaging 136 an hour. Today I sleep on the Nikken Mattress, hard pillow, dream comforter, sands C/pap machine. This is only 2 personal Nikken Coincidences (smile) out of many.

My husband had surgery for sleep apnea, which included surgery for the deviated septum and well as removal of the uvula (the thing that is in the middle of your throat when you look down your throat) and they cleaned out all his sinuses. We forced fluids as soon as he could tolerate them (within hours of surgery), and he had the dream pillow, a travel pad on his recliner, and we sleep on the dream sleep system. As soon as the danger of bleeding was past he wore the eye mask while he was resting. His recovery was next to miraculous. He was eating a regular but soft meal  the day after surgery, did not take a single pain pill and slept all night. Others in our town who had the same surgery said they hurt so much they "wanted to kill" their doctor.

Prior to joining Nikken my husband went through a Sleep Apnea Clinic and was recommended to use a C-PAP unit which he refused.  His snoring reduced as much as 95% with the sleep system. We have had phenomenal results with the comforter when having the flu;  the socks keep me warm. Our older daughter, Carrie, suffers terribly with allergies living in Charleston SC. The Air Power Wellness unit allows her to sleep better and wake without drainage and sneezing. Due to a knee with no cartilage (and being advised that the next step is a total knee replacement) I personally couldn’t get along without the Joint, FIR wraps and CM cream. Recently I have found relief in using the PalmMag and KenkoWave. Living in a Wellness Home I feel that my family and I have a healthier lifestyle

and that I look, feel and act younger than my 62 years.

Allergies Testimonial (updated 9-13-10)

(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)

Allergies are hypersensitivity reactions of the immune system to specific substances called allergens (such as pollen, stings, drugs, or food).

From:   jsjwellness@gmail.com

For a number of years I had been on allergy shots regularly every 4 to six weeks.   It would take less time and space to share what I wasn’t allergic to that what I was.   We were introduced to Nikken in January 2006 and changed our home into a Wellness home within a couple of months.   My personal physical at the end of 2006 showed dramatic changes in wellness from the previous year end in 2005.   Our family doctor was amazed and eventually joined us in sharing the opportunity to use Nikken technologies for chronic problems.   The following year in 2007 I consulted with my allergist about the results our family doctor had found and wondered if getting off the allergy shots would be a good idea.   He suggested we stop cold and give it six months.   We did that and as of 2011 I have not been back to see him nor had any shots.   I wish I could pin point what made the difference but feel it was the concept of putting my body in a condition with good water, sleep, nutrition, and air that allowed it to heal itself.    Being able to be free of the challenge of allergies is not only a blessing but a financial savings in a big way.   Our insurance had not been paying anything for allergies for several years.

In 1976, I was working for the airlines in Denver, CO, and fell injuring my back & neck which caused me to get incapacitating headaches almost on a daily basis. I went to every kind of doctor and specialist, but nothing got rid of the headaches.  I tried everything and nothing worked. I lived on pain pills, taking sometimes 40 a day, which caused me all kinds of stomach problems. Doctors ran a scope down my throat and told me I had a disease associated with the medication. My esophagus was all inflamed and my stomach burned and churned with everything I ate. The specialists tested me for allergies and also found out I was allergic to 41 foods, including wheat, and they put me on even more medication.  I had joint discomfort in my knees and hips, and after my injury in 1976, my temperature dropped down to 95.7, so I also froze for 22 years! Every day, every week, every year, I continued to have those incapacitating headaches...for 22 years.  Then a miracle happened... I learned about Nikken. Although I got a headache after the initial rollout, I knew it would have to help and ordered the complete sleep system. In 2 1/2 weeks, the headaches were gone! It is truly the most wonderful thing in the world to be headache free!  Three months after I began using the sleep system, I discovered I no longer have the stomach problems and was able to discontinue all my medication. Now I can eat anything I want and my stomach is fine! WOW!

My joint discomfort in my knees and hips went away too. I can go up and down ladders now and my knees don't hurt anymore. My temperature is like a normal person's now. I don't freeze in the winter and I get too warm in the summer just like other people do....it's great!

Nikken has changed my life so much! I feel like I've found the fountain of youth because I feel 25 years younger than I did. No one should have to suffer like I did... and now they don't have to!!! Life is good and I thank God everyday for this company and what it does for people!  After a year of sharing these wonderful products with our friends and family, I was able to quit the rat race of going to work everyday at my j-o-b. I now share Nikken with everyone I come into contact with and it is such a joy to be able to change people's lives physically and financially. By helping other people succeed, then we succeed too. We are in control of our own destiny and can work  when we want, and can play when we want. We don't have to miss important events anymore because someone else has scheduled us to work. By fitting this business into the nooks and crannies of your life, you will be amazed as to what can be done!

I live in Dubuque, Iowa and I suffer from allergies and have had great results working with Dr. George Kroker from Allergy Associates of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Allergy Associates is unique in that they do not only skin testing but also sublingual testing for food allergies and blood tests to discover ALL the allergies, not just the environmental ones. They also treat candida, which I fervently believe is causational in fibro. They use sublingual drops to desensitize the body. I have been helped greatly by this clinic. Between cleaning up mold in my home, using Nikken products for over 5 years and following their allergy program, I truly have been helped.  Their phone number is 608-782-2027. If you are far from Wisconsin, they might be able to refer you. Dr. Kroker is sited in Dr. William Cook's books such as "The Yeast Connection" and he has done some of the seminal research into that condition.

I discovered the candida thing by reading the book "The Yeast Connection" by Dr. Crook. Candida is a form of yeast that is present in the body and which can grow out of control for a variety of reasons, the most common being overuse of antibiotics which destroy your body's natural bacteria. Sublingual means under the tongue. When testing for food allergies, they put drops in your mouth under the tongue, which is an area of the body where things are absorbed very rapidly into the bloodstream and lymph system. If you are allergic to the food, you'll have some kind of reaction within 10 minutes. Then they give you more drops to neutralize the substance and try another. When they finally nail down your food and environmental allergies (they also do the normal skin testing for environmental allergies like mold, dust, etc.) they formulate a liquid that has very small amounts of your actual allergens. You take this as 1 to 3 drops under your tongue three times a day. This desensitizes your body in much the same way allergy shots do, but from my reading it's safer, easier, and works more thoroughly although it may take longer. The clinic treats the candida problem with a diet that restricts the foods that feed yeast: sugar, white flour, yeast containing foods like vinegar, breads, cheese, etc. They also have prescribed Diflucan or Nystatin orally for my daughter and myself. We have been helped significantly by this process  It IS really hard to change those eating habits, and I have certainly not been 100%. In fact, for almost 3 years from '93-'96 I ate no sugar. But then I went "off the wagon" and really paid for it. I was also off my allergy drops from that point until recently, and my condition went downhill. I also discovered that there was severe mold in my home, which was dragging me down. So I have gotten back on my drops, watch my eating, and have used various methods of dealing with the mold. I get better each month, I think. It's been very hard for me because I'm allergic to dairy, eggs, corn, yeast, and don't digest most grains very well, so I end up eating mostly meat and vegetables. Holidays are hard. However, I know that if I stick with my drops for a few years and stay as disciplined as possible I can look forward to getting rid of the allergies. It's best to try to eat on a rotation schedule, ideally not eating any food more often than every 4 days, but it is hard. With anything like this, I think we just do what we can and take it one thing at a time. I feel so much better when I pay attention to diet that it's easier to stay with it. I'll be traveling to Virginia tomorrow to spend the New Year with a friend but will be back late next week. Oh, also the medications kill yeast - the Yeast Connection book explains it all very well.

I have had hay fever all my life. It only affects me from about early August to the first frost. But during those months, life can be miserable. I had a strong experience this past August, at a county fair where we had a booth. The first day I wore my Nikken necklace and sneezed maybe four times all day. The second day I did NOT wear the necklace, and was completely miserable and non-functioning all day. Had to leave early, in fact, as I was of no help. It was a night and day difference. I know the necklace has been good for allergies as well.

My 9-year-old son was on Claritin for 4 years for allergies (to reduce the endless ear/sinus infections resulting from clogged passages), my 6-year-old daughter was on Claritin for over a year (her tendency for bronchitis made her an asthma candidate), and I have been on Claritin since it came out. We came into Nikken last May and have not taken any Claritin since! We now wear Magstrides/Magsteps, drink PiMag water, and sleep on sleep systems. I also wear the necklace and earrings 24-7. We sleep better – no more nighttime stuffiness and restlessness - and my children no longer have bedwetting agonies. My son is dreaming for the first time that he can remember! We have gotten through the fall allergy season here in Virginia with no allergies, and I am ready to face the "bloomin' spring season" armed with Nikken products.

Be well, Mary

The PiMag system is a must for people with allergies. I always had allergies in the spring and fall, but not last year, after starting to use the PiMag water system in 11/2000.

I suffered with 13 years of Allergies to candles, dust, pollen, etc. I visited the doctor's office once every 6-8 weeks for sinus infections.  Horrible. I missed many days of work because of the allergies and was just miserable going to a friends house that had candles lit, etc. When I became affiliated with Nikken almost 2 years ago, I heard on a audio tape that if you put the super mini magnet 2-3 inches below your belly button and left it there, that you would get tremendous relief. Why you ask? Apparently this is the acupuncture pressure point for the sinuses. Well lo and behold, I followed instructions and got results. The day I put it on I suffered terribly. My normal meds for it were bottles of seldane and tylenol sinus. After I put the super mini on, I could literally feel my nasal cavity clearing and I was completely comfortable seven hours later without taking a pill. I left it on for the month, except when I showered and listen to this. I haven't taken one pill since! That was 2 years ago! Soon after, I incorporated the sleep system, the water, the necklace and the magsteps and have been free from that and many other conditions. The sleep mask is wonderful as well! I love it when I remember to bring it home! I love Nikken for all they do and represent and I challenge anyone who says these products don't work. God Bless.

A major problem with most sleep systems is the fact that they don’t "breathe". Moisture is easily trapped in synthetic mattresses and pillows, attracting dust mites, and promoting microbial growth. That highly influences allergies. When you consider the fact that the average sleeper gives off a pint of water vapor during an eight-hour sleep, the need for products that readily absorb, and then quickly with layers of foam that provide just the right amount of ventilation. The result is a surface that disperses perspiration.

When a friend was doing the Kirby vacuum thing, he did the dust mite vacuum test on our Nikken mattress - they got nothing. And this was on a four year old deluxe mattress.

To my surprise the necklace helped me a lot with my allergies. I moved from New York to Richmond, Va and I suffered tremendously from allergies in Va! I needed injections every week! I got the necklace and not only was I able to stop the allergy pills but also the injections!

On a sunny summer day in 1987, the family gathered for an afternoon picnic. The relaxing meal time turned sour when our little 7 year old daughter, Ellen, went into her first acute allergic reaction, restricting her breathing. This initial attack began a journey for our family that would last for the next 10 years. Over the course of those next 10 years, Ellen's health deteriorated. By age 17, she had acquired a long list of illnesses that could not be altered by the multiple attempts of modern medicine. The symptoms she suffered included the following:

* continual aching in her head

* severe sensitivities with allergic like reactions

* chronic fatigue

* endocrine problems

* digestive problems

* body aches

* trouble sleeping

As parents of a teenage daughter holding this list of symptoms in one hand, we were introduced to Nikken. We had never heard of this company, let alone magnetic and Far-Infrared technology. However we started to research the technology in hopes that our daughter may receive benefits and shrink the list of symptoms. We discovered the effects and safety of the products and decided to give Nikken a full, fair try, putting Ellen in contact with the products 24 hours a day.  The results were indeed an answer to prayers. On just the third day of using the sleep system, Ellen ran into our room with excitement.  She could breathe through her nose again! Due to her severe sinus problems she normally reached for the box of tissues first thing in the morning, never being able to breathe through her nose. Within that first month all her symptoms on the list had subsided, enabling her to discontinue medications, daily injections, and restricted diets. Our 17-year-old daughter was finally able to live as a normal teenager. Nikken not only changed our daughter's life but also increased our family's quality of life. We as a family still reap the

benefits of our first exposure to magnetic and Far-Infrared technology in 1997.

I have suffered my whole life with asthma, sinus problems and allergies - with many sinus headaches, swollen glands, and earaches often causing dizziness. I lived on Allergy medications, which caused stomach problems and always feeling drowsy. I now am using the CM CREAM, I apply it to all the sinus areas - forehead, under the eye area, around the ears, sinus area in the neck and over the gland area. The CM CREAM gave me total relief within just a couple minutes. It is the best, fastest acting treatment I have ever tried.  I no longer take any medication nor do I have the problem of feeling drowsy. Nor do I have to worry about any side affects.   I have on a couple occasions placed a couple Sea Salt crystals under my tongue along with using the CM CREAM, just to make sure to zap the issue strong and get fast relief..... It works every time!

We have 8 children and 4 of them had regular trouble with croup (4-6 times a year each)-we would often need to use the nebulizer & steroids to help them breathe so they could sleep. 8 of them had lots of allergy related problems and these would often turn into different complications and often infections. 1 was beginning to wheeze when he exercised.  We got sleep systems for al l of them and shortly afterward began using the PiMag countertop unit and showerhead. We had 2 instances of croup in the 1½ years since we've gotten the sleep & water systems. Our family still has allergy sensitivities; but we don't get sick from them and rarely have colds; coughs; sore throats; ear problems; and headaches that accompany allergy symptoms. We've only needed prescription medication a few times in the last 1½! (that's for a family of 10). Our son doesn't wheeze anymore when he exercises. It's gone. Once he had some trouble breathing and he took a PiMag shower; drank some PiMag water; went to bed on his sleep system with a magnet on his chest and within 10 minutes of laying down the breathing problems were gone. We LOVE Nikken

products!

We have a relative that cannot come to our home because he is allergic to our dog. After about 30 minutes, he starts to sneeze and his eyes get red and swollen. The last time he was here, as usual, he started to sneeze. I put the PalmMag on high speed and placed it on the kitchen table right in front of where he was sitting. He never sneezed again. His eyes never swelled and now he can come here and stay the whole evening! Amazing!

I am a total believer in the Immunity nutritional. I take it (one a.m., one p.m.) and also all 3 of my children take one every morning. If some kind of illness is going around we "up" the dosage. We have NOT, I repeat NOT gotten sick AT ALL since we have lived in Tokyo. The air quality here is very poor and lots of people have trouble with sinus/allergies and getting flu bugs. Of course we also drink Optimized PiMag water and have sleep systems--but I really believe Immunity gives us an edge others do not have. I want to add that MANY of my team members are on Immunity and it has dramatically improved their resistance to illness. When there is an illness going around the base, the phone lines are hot with people calling other Nikken people and asking if they have extra bottles of Immunity on hand! We consistently have "back-up bottles" of Immunity around!

The necklace helped my sinus headaches tremendously, but then when the immunity came out and I started to take if for over 6 months, then last spring I didn’t have to take anything for my allergies for runny nose or itchy eyes, I'm even giving it to my dog that has allergies (two a day just like me).

I have had allergies since I was a child. I have am allergic to mold, pollen & pet dander to name just a few. My son (13) is allergic to oak trees, rice and cats. He has had allergies and sinus problems since he was 6 months old. We have three cats, three dogs and three guinea pigs. I have found that using the nutritionals and PiMag optimized water has helped me tremendously. The Immunity is the best, I use it 4 times a day during Allergies season. (I mix it with juice for my son). The rest of the year I use it twice a day. My son and I both use the sleep system with pillow and the far infrared comforter.

I have found great relief from my hay fever using the Jade GreenZymes. My head clears instantly when I drink it. Before we had the Jade Green, I used the PiMag concentrate drops --3 drops under the tongue. This worked instantly too, but I would have to repeat often if the hay fever was bad.   Laura

I suffered with oak and pine allergies (pine being the worst!) in the spring; upon hearing that some consultants used our necklace for this type of problem, I put it on about 3 years ago; since that time, I no longer have to take prescription drugs for these allergies. I am grateful! Necklace also helps with neck strain as I work on a computer most of the day. I have also been taking the Immunity Nutritional for the past year and it is pretty wonderful. I find it to be a complement to the necklace as I do not experience ANY discomfort during allergy season (even while out in the garden for hours... on a day with a very high pollen count)! Also, has been very effective in keeping me well during the winter/cold season as well as travel via airplane; another YES!

Over the last week I have been helping out friends with the technology from Nikken to recover from terrible infections starting out with allergies getting out of control. One person was having vertigo, numbness of legs, all over achy feeling and she kept saying she had a golf ball in the side of her neck. I sat her down gave her three Kenzen Joint, optimized water, Jade GreenZymes and placed her on the Kenkoseat, covered her with the blanket, and used the PalmMag on her. First I went on her back, then her stomach, then her feet & hands and last sat it for 5-10 minutes in the area of the golf ball in her right ear neck area.  Within 10 minutes her color changed, she started to relax and state that her legs were feeling much better and she also was relieved of the pressure in her neck. This was followed us with a good night sleep. She was placed on Antibiotics and her comment to me was, "I know that these are given a better chance to be effective and I will not have the side effects from the antibiotics with the help of all

your wonderful Nikken products. Thank you for helping me feel better I see that I need this every day in my life and I can think of many others that I wish to share it with too".

I have a great testimonial to share about the Nikken necklace. I was at a weekend planning meeting with a young professionals organization last weekend. A member of the group had to leave the room. Someone's perfume/cologne was causing her to have breathing problems and she lost her voice. She loses her voice every time she has an allergy attack. She came back into the room about 20 minutes later, still no voice. I took my Nikken magnetic necklace off my own neck and placed it on her. Within 15 seconds, yes seconds, her voice came back. Everyone in the room was amazed. I loaned it to her for the week.  She is a science teacher and loses her voice everyday at the playground. There is something in the area she is allergic to. She told her class about the necklace and conducted a small experiment. They went out to the playground for 15 minutes while she wore the necklace. She came back in took the necklace off and went back outside. Within 5 minutes she lost her voice. The class came back in, one of her students had a second hand on their watch and when she put the necklace back on her voice came back in 13 seconds.

Everyone was amazed. She purchased the necklace & got the insoles & has not lost her voice since.

In New Zealand at present we are at the start of Summer and with all the wind we have been having a great number of people have been suffering from hay fever because of all the pollen and seeds blown about. My husband had a shocking case of sneezing, sore eyes, runny nose etc., so put his necklace on and within 2 hours all symptoms were gone. He took it off to give to a fellow sufferer and her hay fever went and his returned! He won't be lending it again this year!  A friend (macho male won't wear a necklace) helped his hay fever by taping on a super mini out of sight on the top of his shoulder – it  fixed the pain in his shoulder at the same time. Amazing products.

I have suffered from allergies much of my adult life, with the severity increasing the past 5-10 years to the point of being borderline asthmatic. I'm allergic to grass, mold, cottonwood and a large variety of flowers. When you live in the Pacific NW and like to play

golf, that's a bad combination. I took Allegra-D twice a day, used an inhaler several times a day and had allergy shots on a regular basis.  When Nikken announced the introduction of their GreenZymes, I felt it was worth giving it a try, because I couldn't feel any worse than I already did on medication. So, I weaned myself off of all of the medications I had been taking 45-60 days in advance of receiving my first shipment of the GreenZymes to give my body a chance to be free of the chemicals. I was skeptical as to how my system would react, given my allergy to grass and the fact that GreenZymes are a barley grass product. Within 24 hours of taking the GreenZymes, I could feel and hear (in my breathing) a definite difference in how my body was reacting.  It's been almost four years now and I'm happy to report I am still allergy shot, prescription and inhaler free. I use the GreenZymes twice a day, and keep a few extra packets in my purse. When I get into a situation where the grass has been freshly mowed, or the

cottonwood is particularly heavy, and I need an extra "hit," I just empty part of a packet under my tongue and let it dissolve. Within minutes, I can feel the relief. I'm so grateful for Nikken and their wonderful products. What a difference they've made in my life.
