Thoughts on Aging

Many of you might wonder what thoughts on aging have to do with Wellness or Vitality for Life. The answer is simple. A happy and healthy mind will operate a healthier body. Enjoy these thoughts and share them with any and all. In the five pillars of health...mind, body, family, society, and finances....you will note that mind is first...today we focus on your mind:)


Thoughts on Aging

As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.



I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

A neighbor of mine was pregnant and somewhere in her second trimester when she developed a severe problem in her lower leg veins. They were extremely swollen and painful. Her MD wanted her to wear surgical stockinettes but she was unenthused with this option as it was summertime. I suggested magsteps. The aching stopped in the 1st day or so and the swelling receded within another day or 2. Her MD thought they did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product for such a condition. Beware of the first trimester...but then this problem usually does not set in until the weight comes on later in the pregnancy as I understand it.   A neighbor of mine purchased a sleep system for her back and her husband's insomnia. They were more than happy with the benefits they were receiving already when she told me of an entirely unexpected bonus. She has some sort of thyroid problem. One of her
symptoms has been for years that her body temp has always been below normal as recorded in her medical charts. During a routine visit to the doctor, her temp was inexplicably 98.6 and has stayed there ever since. She can attribute this to no other factor other than the sleep system. Her condition did not disappear (yet?) but she is happy with what has happened thus far.

Harry had veins that were the size of your index finger wrapping around both legs like grape vines. When I first approached him and his wife about magnets for health, they politely waited till had left their home and then laughed out loud at the thought! He purchased a pair of MagSteps that night and didn't notice anything for about two weeks. He first noticed his legs felt better in the mornings (he no longer had to crawl for a while after getting out of bed because his legs wouldn't function). Then he began to notice a big change after about two months. We were carrying in his Sleep System and I had to say "Harry - don't take this wrong but your legs look great!" He said "Yea! You notice I'm wearing shorts again!!" All but a small patch of the V.V. on the left side of one lag were completely gone! Had I known how the MagSteps were going to work on his legs I would have insisted on a before and after picture!
The difference is truly remarkable!

My sister suffered from Varicose Veins in her legs during her second pregnancy. Her gynecologist told her to buy special tights to give her legs support. However, she decided to try the magsteps first. After three days of wearing them, the protruding veins disappeared and have not returned since!

My wife had enlarged, engorged veins that were the source of considerable discomfort that bothered her sleep patterns before we joined Nikken in July 94. Wearing the magsteps began the process of improvement, sleeping on magnetic sleep system seemed to spur the improvement on and the addition of the Kenkotherm Comforter also provided and additional dimension of improvement.  She also covered her entire legs with Kenkotherm Knee wraps using a bigger one to cover the thigh area; middle sized one on the knee and a smaller one on the calf of the leg and an ankle wrap on the ankle. All of this while being careful not to block circulation at any point. (Constricting circulation could lead to clot formation) Also she positioned 3 eye masks with strings removed under the
Kenkotherm wraps at different points on her legs that hurt particularly bad. After 2 or 3 years she was able to forgo use of the eye mask on her legs on a nightly basis, but continues to wrap her entire legs with Kenkotherm Knee wraps. She prefers the black warps over the white ones and she occasionally uses them on long car trips and on International flights. At this point, Grace considers her vein problem to be about 50% improved after 6 years of using these wonderful products. Many in our group, with less serious vein problems, report much higher levels of improvement.

I have had enlarged veins in one leg just below the calf and had been wearing an elastic stocking to restrain them somewhat and also keep them from itching. A couple months ago the itching became acute and having already tried placing magnetics over the vein without success I slipped a Far Infrared knee wrap over the area. Within 2 days the itching stopped. After a week I took the elastic stocking off and have since only used the Far Infrared wrap which is not very tight but I have noticed the vein protrusion is becoming less.

My daughter had MANY tiny spider-web varicose veins that would hurt often. She did a lot of walking. She bought the Magsteps,  wears them faithfully, and never has any more problems with those veins. She's worn the Magsteps for nearly 5 years.  Also a downline of ours had blood behind his eye. He had sought help from his Dr. who, of course, shrugged off the use of the Nikken Eye Mask or anything to do with magnets AFTER the problem disappeared. Well, recently this gentleman decided to give the Eye Mask a try and would you believe - his eyes feel better already and he can now read without his glasses? Suppose these products work?

My father is 77 years old. In January of this year (2002), he could only walk 1/8th of a mile. My sister-in-law (my upline) and I visited him in January. We all went to see his cardiologist who had just performed the sixth angioplasty on him which was from the knees down. (He has also had a quintuple bi-pass surgery a few years ago). The doctor informed him that of his two arteries below the knee, one was 100% occluded, and the other was 80% occluded - in both legs!!! I advised my father that he should get on all of the Nikken products as soon as possible. He hedged, but his wife jumped on it. We put him on magsteps, socks, magnet strips along his calves with FIR wraps, the knee wraps, the sleep system, PiMag water and JOINT and LIVER. My Father is now walking 3 miles.  His doctor recently told him that he doesn't understand it, but my Father is improving. He added that his bad cholesterol (LDL?) is also down. My Father still won't fully admit that the Nikken products are helping him - but his wife won't let him get off of them. Smart lady - doesn't want to spend HER life pushing someone else's wheelchair.

I wear the men's sports socks almost everyday, and I can tell where they end! The area they cover is almost free of varicose veins, and the area above isn't a pretty sight! Wish Nikken would come out with panty hose made out of the FIR. Asked them once, but need to do it again.

Varicose veins are a byproduct of stagnant Liver chi (energy). Therefore supporting the liver with the Liver and using magnetic products over the liver would assist. The magnetic products would help with the pain. It is also important to keep the elimination system cleansing out toxic waste, so the addition of the Digestion is also important. Also, the local health food stores carry Horsechestnut cream (my favorite brand is Planetary Formulations). Rubbing this into the areas twice a day has really helped several of my clients.

My Cousin had awful looking ropes for veins in his legs. He found tremendous relief from the aching that would wake him at night. At first he wrapped the mini comforter around his leg, but then graduated to the full comforter. He was amazed the very first night to be able to sleep without being awakened by the throbbing.

We have a female consultant that had this issue before she started to use the magsteps. After using the magsteps for three month not only did her tired feet and ankles get better, a side benefit was her varicose veins disappeared.
