Depression Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)
I often wondered why doctors call their business a "practice". They are doing their best with information and education available through medical schools and continuing education. The realty is that a small percentage of what doctors would like to know is available to them today. In time great strides will be made. In the interim, the Eastern mind suggests that consideration and trying of natural solutions is a complement to Western thought. The experiences of the following people and millions of others who realized they had much to gain and nothing to loose, is posted for your hope and consideration. Please contact me at jsjwellness@gmail.com with for additional information.

I was taking Luvox 200mg. for panic as well as Zanax. When I went on the sleep system and magsteps in my shoes, I noticed I was getting extremely sleepy during the day when before I was doing my normal functions without any problems. I called my doctor and with in about a 3 month span I was down to .25 mg a day of the Luvox and quit taking Zanax. Now I’m off from the Luvox as well. I am doing fine and not having any problems with the panic attacks any longer. I suffered with depression for 10 years and was on several different anti-depressants plus the Zanax. Stress causes panic attacks to start and I have been under a lot of stress lately and I am doing great. What a blessing!

I helped a women who regularly took three dosages of lithium (morning, noon and night) reduced her meds to once a day within 30 days of using the 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.

I met a man the other day at a Wellness Preview whose depression had been lifted just by the necklace. I also saw a study of people with depression in Israel that revealed that magnets had improved their mood significantly when compared to a similar group that did not wear magnets.

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 1/2 years and is a delightful, bright young man of 19.

I was diagnosed 12 months after a 2nd car accident with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I was unable to sleep without medication, which made me feel like a zombie. I have not had to take a sleeping pill since my 1st night on the sleep system. My anxiety & depression have lifted dramatically now that I'm sleeping remarkably well and feeling more energy and less achyness upon waking.

I've been on anti-depressants for 9 years and since I started using the sleep system, I've been able to discontinue using them. It took me at least a month to notice a change but boy is it worth it! After a couple of months on the sleep system, and necklace & magsteps during the day, I noticed a significant mood change so I discontinued taking drugs. It's been over a year and I only take a 1/2 of a Zoloft maybe every other month if I notice any problems arising. Everybody is different and it may take longer than the week-10day trial period for a change to take place, but it is well worth the expense and the wait!!!

After 30 years of flying airplanes for a living and after 10 years of hating my latest employer (messy merger and lost benefits) and after 10 years of commuting to New York from Denver, I fell into a severe depression. I had not been sleeping well due to flying all night and trying to sleep in a crash pad all day. I had not been eating right nor exercising right. I lost my job which paid well, and I had nowhere else to go. I had no future. Then came Nikken into my life. The products helped my health. I got back to eating right and used our wonderful Nikken supplements. I started exercising. I had wonderful sleep on the Nikken sleep system. Many discomforts all over my body went away due to all of our products and a better life style. The most amazing thing was that I then saw a future through Nikken's business opportunity. I now look forward to a much brighter future than I had ever expected after 30 years of airline flying. And I can continue to be productive to the end. As an airline pilot I was forced out at the age of 60 due to government bureaucracy. AND I get to do all of this by helping other people to be more. Thank you Nikken.

My daughter is bipolar noticed immediate improvement when she began sleeping on the 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%. There is also a interesting web page you can talking about how Magnet therapy shows promise for severe Depression: http://gem.lightlink.com/vitamin/althealth/cgi/frameset3.cgi?url=http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9803/20/magnets.depression/index.ht ml&named=CNN&rec=2141

We have had a great experience with one of my husband's co-workers with his depression. He was in the hospital for four days undergoing tests to find the solution to his tiredness and depression. The hospital diagnosed him with chronic fatigue and depression. After lending him the mattress, a pair of steps and a bracelet he called us three days later and couldn't believe how good he felt. He since has bought the mattress and steps, etc and his tiredness and depression are gone. These products are just an answer to prayer for so many of our families and loved ones.

A great article to read over the web with Dr. Batmanghelidj who wrote “Your Bodies Many Cries for Water”: http://watercure2.com/sam_biser.htm . Dr. Batmanghelidj (Batman-gel-lij) received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University. Batmanghelidj: When we are sedentary, the biological action of tryptophan is blocked by an excess of the branch-chain amino acids. The result is depression in your brain. Why? You need serotonin that is manufactured from tryptophan - to prevent depression from taking over the body physiology. That is why drinking plenty of water can cure depression - even better than drugs. Finally, if a person refuses to add the small amount of salt as I suggested earlier – for every eight glasses - then the water may not produce full benefits. Your body requires salt to retain the water. Otherwise, the water will pass through too quickly. One woman I heard of drank plenty of water and still had high blood pressure, because she refused to take any salt. She was too frightened from all the misinformation she heard. Unfortunately, the health movement is fanatical against salt, which can make it impossible to cure dehydration. I saw one woman with asthma who was drinking water, but who did not get a lasting cure until she started taking some salt.
WOMAN FINDS RELIEF FROM DEPRESSION
Here is a typed copy of a hand written letter we received from a reader in Syracuse, New York: I read your interview with Dr. Batmanghelidj a couple of weeks ago and it made a profound impression on me. I immediately started drinking more water. I also completely gave up beverages containing caffeine. Although I have only been on this program for a couple of weeks, I feel like a new person! I wanted to tell you about some results that I got because the ones that impressed me the most, and for which I am most thankful, are not physical results, per se, they are emotional, psychological and mental. I did get some very good physical results. I lost weight, all my allergy symptoms disappeared, and I enjoyed a tremendous upsurge in energy - but I was much more grateful for (and amazed by) a release from a lifelong battle with depression, and other emotional and psychological problems. I had gotten to the point where my nerves were just shot. I was overly sensitive and overreacted to everything. The slightest setback became a major setback. I couldn't cope with the pressures of even ordinary everyday living, much less more stressful situations. I developed a very short fuse. I would get irritated and angry at the slightest rovocation and then I would get depressed and hate myself, and really just want to die. I was ruining my closest relationships and I contemplated suicide many times. I began to believe that I might have a mental illness. I saw many different psychiatrists and social workers, but my experiences never really changed. I was progressively more volatile with drastic mood swings and I lived under a big dark cloud. But then, when I began to follow Dr. Batmanghelidj's guidelines, I felt the big dark cloud lift. It was as if the sun finally came out. I felt calmer and more peaceful, more centered and grounded, and just plain happier. My nerves no longer jumped out of control at every little thing and I began to feel a profound sense of joy and relief. I no longer felt like something was drastically wrong with me. I began to be able to hold my head up and face the world instead of tending toward a sort of paranoid agoraphobia. Thank you so much for publishing that fascinating interview. It made more sense than anything else I've ever read on health (and I've read a lot), and it has helped me more than anything else I have ever tried (and I've tried a lot). Also, a glass of water is free - my last psychiatrist was $65.00 for 45 minutes!

My step-daughter, Kip Cross, suffered from panic attacks for years, tried lots of things, even quit her job. After borrowing MagSteps & a back flex for a back problem, the panic attacks stopped. She didn't believe there was a connection & forgot to switch her MagSteps to her work shoes; went to work without them & by mid-morning, felt a panic attack coming on, went home, put her MagSteps in her shoes & the panic attack didn't happen. I think she no longer has the panic attack problem, but still is skeptical of the technology!?!

I asked Dr. Peter Goldberg at a Nikken event last year about depression. His response was that the most important consideration when dealing with mental health issues is to minimize free radical damage (Antioxidant formula), keep the body well hydrated (water), and maintain proper amounts of the basic vitamin/mineral balance (Multivitamin).

The Dream comforter has negative ions, which help depression tremendously -- also, sleeping on the magnetics helps, because when a person gets a good night's sleep it makes a huge difference in their mood. I also have had people use the necklace as well with good results. The nutritionals and the Optimized PiMag water would make a big difference too -- antioxidant and liver formula for starters.

I worked with a very depressed woman, who was on all kinds of psychotropic drugs, (who also had difficulty breathing) sitting at my dining room table, wearing my necklace, drinking Optimized PiMag water and breathing Air Wellness negative ions for about 45 minutes. She was a different person by the time she left my house, smiling, joking, and able to walk up and down my steps without breathing heavily and gasping for breath!
