I recently ordered a salad with sizzling chicken strips in a restaurant. Not thinking, I picked up the sizzling bowl of chicken strips to poor them over my salad. The hot cast iron bowl immediately sizzled two of my fingers. I could see a white stripe of sizzled flesh on one and a water blister forming on the other. What to do? After a few minutes of increasing "discomfort," my brain kicked in. I took out one of my insoles and put it between the two sizzled fingers, on each injury. When the waitress came around, I told her what happened. (She should have warned me about the hot cast iron bowl.) She sent the manager with ice. I told him, no thanks, I was taking care of it. I'm sure they though I was nuts, sitting there eating with my right hand with that "insole" between my fingers of the left hand. (Yes, I did tell them both about the products. They still thought I was nuts, but that's OK.) Within 5 minutes, the "discomfort" was gone. By the time I got home (still holding the insole between the sizzled fingers), the white stripe and blister were gone and never did develop. Hope this helps someone else to remember "these insoles" are good for lots of things, besides the feet.

In September 1999, Mary was deep-frying food in an open pan. The pan was situated on the stove next to a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker was old and had a small steam leak around the gasket. Being a couple of inches higher taller, the pressure cooker was leaking steam downward, into the pan of grease. When Mary noticed this, she reached to move the hot grease away. For some reason (probably the steam), the pan of boiling grease literally exploded, going up and out for approximately six feet. Mary was splattered with a huge amount of hot grease, taking most of it on her upper chest and throat. Smaller amounts landed on her cheeks and nose and right arm. Mary screamed and I turned to see her rushing away, tearing her blouse off as she headed to the bathroom. By the time I got to the bathroom, she had removed her blouse and was in a state of panic, dancing back and forth, arms flailing as she try to collect her senses. With one look, I yelled, “We have got to get you to the hospital.” Still in a state of panic, she ran out of the bathroom yelling instructions for me to get cocoa butter or burn ointment out of the first-aid kit. I could find neither. I rushed after her and
found her sitting in a chair, rocking back and forth, both hands shaking, and saying, “It hurts, it hurts.” Her chest and throat were beet-red and I could see what appeared to be dozens of blisters forming. My mind raced, trying to figure out a means of relief for her. I didn’t want to put clothing over her burns and told her that we would take her to the hospital with a towel loosely wrapped around her. At one point I considered dialing 911. Then, I remembered an article, which told of how the University of South Carolina was using magnets on burn patients to relieve discomfort and to promote the healing. I rushed to get the Magboys. When I returned, Mary looked at me with a look that said, “Are you out of your mind?” I quickly told her about the article and instructed her to remove her bra and lean back into the chair (some of the hot grease had ran down inside one bra cup). Needing relief, and having faith in my judgment, Mary quickly complied with my request. It’s important to note that Mary is a red-haired Irish girl with freckles and light skin. Her chest and throat was a scary sight with all the redness, whelps, and blistering. I couldn’t touch her, so I started spinning the Magboys approximately three inches from her chest, breasts, throat, and face. What happened next caused the hair to stand up on the back of my neck. Within minutes, the redness began to shrink toward the middle of her chest. As she looked down through tear-filled eyes, she said something like, “What’s happening, I can’t believe this, the pain is going away.” I was absolutely stunned. It was as if a miracle was taking place right before my eyes. Within forty-five minutes, all but three small spots were gone. Almost all of the discomfort was relieved and Mary was able to put clothing on again. Of course my hands and arms were worn out, but I only noticed that after Mary was better. We were both amazed at how effective the Magboys had been. It later took us hours to clean the kitchen.
We bought a new pressure cooker and quit deep-frying foods (better for our health anyway). We’ve told this story to many people and each time we tell it, we get a little tensed up remembering how scary the incident was. May never know just how powerful and versatile our products really are. As for Mary and I, we thank God that we had the presence of mind, and the products available, to effectively deal with what could have been a disastrous event. I later joked with Mary, telling her that we really shouldn’t have gone so far just to have a product testimonial. She didn’t laugh.

I have been the recipient of many wonderful testimonials regarding many of the Nikken products, so I just wanted to pass on the incredible experience I had with a far infrared wrap. On November 25th, I burned the back of my right hand with hot bacon grease. I sustained a second degree burn over 75% of the surface of my hand. I immediately soaked my hand in cold water, which is what you are to do. As you can well imagine, the discomfort I experienced was pretty intense. About 15 minutes after the burn occurred I put an infrared wrap over my hand, (elbow wrap) and within 5 minutes the heat and pain from the burn went away. Later that evening I noticed a lot of small blisters forming. I was able to get some medicated burn creme from my step daughter that I used along with the wrap that night. When I got up the next morning my hand was red and somewhat swollen, but no blisters except for one. In my 18 years as an RN I realized that there should have been much more damage to my skin as well as much more swelling. I used the creme along with the wrap for three days, and then switched to using the wrap only at night along with Vitamin E oil. I saw significant improvement every day. I would say as much as a third improvement of however the burn looked that particular day. This is now the 11th day post burn and all that remains of my burn is a tiny area on my knuckle, where the blister was, that looks as if I hit it on something. Everyone who has seen this since it happened just cannot believe how quickly I recovered. Additionally, I accompanied my husband to a doctors appointment he had on Tuesday 12/5, and after the appointment I asked the
doctor, who happens to be a long time friend, how long he thought it might take for a second degree burn to heal. His response was, "three weeks." When I showed him my hand and said that it had only been 9 days he was absolutely amazed!

Several nights ago, my neighbor had a gas grill blow up in his face knocking him on the ground. His wife came running to me for help. His hair was singed, his eyebrows burned & he felt like his face was still on fire. I used the mini quilt, but he didn't feel immediate relief. Then I filled a spray bottle with PiMag & sprayed him....instant relief! Later he went to the ER, and they covered his face with wet saline sponges, gave him pain pills & discharged him following a negative chest x-ray. He said the one thing that helped him the most was the PiMag!!!

I picked up a pan w/o a mitt from my oven at 425 degrees. Just wasn't thinking. I grabbed the new back flex (with FIR and Magnetic) because it closest to me, and laid my hand on it. Within a few minutes the raised spots (blisters) were gone and the discomfort had subsided immensely. No scars, redness or tenderness. I also know of someone else who washed a burn with PiMag water, placed a mini on the burn and put on the far infrared gloves. Worked like a charm.

I burned my finger on a curling iron the other day and immediately wrapped it in a far-infrared mini comforter. Within seconds the burn pain was gone. I left it on for about two minutes and when I removed it, I never did feel the pain again. Usually I would put ice on it which would temporarily take the pain away but as soon as I would remove the ice from the burn, it would still hurt. I‘m impressed.

I inadvertently poured boiling water over my hand a few weeks ago. I ran to the sink - ran cold water for a few seconds. Then got my super mini over the worst spot and pulled on the FIR gloves. I wore them for several hours. Next morning my hands were normal. The only result was about 10 days later some skin peeled (very thin layer) - no discomfort... Amazing.

Kevin and I were first introduced to Nikken 5 years ago and with much persuasion and investigation, we decided to purchase some products, hoping that I would see relief from my ever worsening breathing problems. After using the products for one week, Kevin and I both noticed we were sleeping more restfully and waking up more refreshed. I hadn't felt that good in years and I was only 29. Every month after that I saw improvements and was eventually relieved of all my breathing aids. We were excited! So we came out of the closet. We shared our experiences with some of our friends and family and they too benefited from the products. That's when we decided to take a closer look at this company and truly see what it was all about. What we found was almost too good to be true. But what if it was true? I am now home with my three boys, Connor, Tate and husband Kevin, working maybe 20 hours/wk with a strong company that stands for everything that I believe in! I have the flexibility to work when I want, with who I want, and where I want. All the while affecting peoples lives for the better. One in particular being my husband Kevin. In October of 1999, at 4:00 in the afternoon, Kevin was involved in a very serious farm accident. He was at the top of our silo when an unexpected explosion occurred. Kevin was exploded down the 75 foot silo shoot - burning as he fell. When he reached the bottom he was jammed into a tube just the right size for his foot to be bent all the back to his shin bone. After being flown to the nearest burn unit hospital he had a crushed ankle and 2nd and 3rd degree burns. When I first saw Kevin, his face was the size of a mylar balloon and his arms and hands were charred. The intensive care nurses told me to expect things to look worse before better, because the burns continue to burn for 72 hours and just feels worse and worse. I had heard of several people seeing great results from using our products on their skin after being burned, especially from the far-infared technology. So we asked if we could put the far-infared comforter over Kevin and at around 9:00 we cut open the knee wrap and cut a hole for his mouth and put it over his face to see what might happen, put a mini far-infrared quilt under his head, and covered his whole body with the far-infrared comforter. Within one minute he could feel the heat leaving his face. The next morning Kevin was sitting up and talking with us, his face almost completely back to normal in size. He kept putting the far infrared knee wrap on his face whenever he rested. After a couple days we laid him on the magnetic mattress pad as well (which by the way was more comforting to him than the $10,000.00 air mattress that they had on his bed) and covered himself with the comforter whenever possible. Kevin's stay in the hospital was shortened to 2 weeks instead of the 6 weeks they initially told us to expect for recovery. His face is unscarred and is instead more like babies skin -- very smooth, soft and sensitive. His hands, although skin grafted because of the deepness of the burns because his gloves had melted to his hands, are now soft, flexible and supple, and you can’t tell he had any grafting done. He didn’t have to wear the hospital gloves that they give you to push down the scars either. The plastic surgeon said he had never seen anything like it. Do we believe these products work? YES! And we're excited that Nikken has given us the opportunity to build a team of people that have a common goal of helping others to live balanced lives, filled with health and success. What a way to make a living!

Last night I was creating a Thai meal for dinner and whilst cooking I managed to burn 4 fingers on my left hand with boiling oil. 15 minutes of ice did not ease the agony. We then placed a super mini magnet directly on the burn and secured with a bandage. Within 10 minutes the agony had eased off 85% and swelling was 50% improved. After 1 hour there was no evidence that the burn had occurred except in my memory.

Last Sunday I picked up an iron skillet that had been in the oven and was extremely hot. Well, I burned my hand across the palm, the thumb, and the tips of my fingers. I grabbed 3 mini's and held them on my hand for about 1/2 hr. I found my PalmMag and used it on my hand for about 10 minutes. I then used on the CM cream all over my hand. There weren't any blisters, scars or sore places on my light hand later in the day. My son saw the burn and couldn't believe how it looked. I have used my mini magnets a couple other times I burned myself. I think I will start keeping the PalmMag in the kitchen. They are wonderful products.

It’s important that we help people learn about Nikken’s technologies, including medical personnel. It's just SMART to have plenty of our products on hand for emergency situations THAT COULD happen to any of us. We do not know what is coming! We do not know how other terrorists may react here in the U.S. - if or when – our military takes actions against terrorism over the weeks and years to come. But, we're NOT smart to NOT be as prepared as possible for helping ourselves, our families and other people. Example: This was Tracy O' Connel in the hospital, wrapped with our products after she was badly burned from an outdoor propane cooker explosion. The doctors said propane was a "chemical burn" and they could not stop it going from burning to 3rd degree, which would mean months of surgeries, skin grafts, etc., if she lived through it all. Tracy walked out of the hospital 16 days later with no surgeries or skin grafts! To contact them, write to: Bill & Tracy O' Connel at: balancedliving@5pillars.com

I burned the heck out of my back snorkeling in Destin. Once we got back to the condo, I showered, then wrapped up in my FIR comforter for several hours. When I first put it around me, the sunburn really BURNED; in fact, I was worried that maybe it would have the opposite effect! But, I decided to "go for it" anyway. After several hours, we went out to eat dinner. When I came back to go to bed, I rolled myself up like a burrito in the comforter and slept in it all night. Next morning--no burn, only tan! Last week, I "branded" the inside of my left thumb on the metal bracket on the handle of our gas grill. I had left it set on "high" with the lid down longer than I meant to and it was blazing! I came in and ran my hand under Pimag water for a minute or so, then put on my FIR glove, which I wore all evening and then slept in. When I removed it the next morning, there was absolutely no visible sign of the burn, nor did it hurt at all. Cool, huh?

My husband and I took our two young children with us to Hawaii, in celebration of our 25 year wedding anniversary. As a break from the beach, my 6 year old daughter and I spent the afternoon at the pool of our hotel. I slathered us both up with sunscreen, however, my daughters olive skin tanned and my fair skin burned to a crisp!!! I was burned so badly, I had little blisters all over my shoulders, chest, arms and back!!! It was so agonizing, my collar bones actually HURT!!! The ONLY FIR product I had with me was a wrist wrap. (I was prepared to do demos if I encountered a prospect.) When we were back at our room, I laid the wrist wrap on my achingly burned and tender skin along the collar bones. Within MINUTES, the skin beneath the FIR wrist wrap stopped burning! When I moved the wrist wrap to another area of my collar bone, the wrap was HOT! I continued to do this all along my collar bones, because the degree of discomfort along that area was so incredibly intense. If it had not have been for this small little product, I would have been MISERABLE our entire vacation!

One of my personal friends and retired U.S.A.F. officer, Steve Pollard, suffered a severe leg burn from a gasoline flash fire May, 1999 in Oklahoma City, OK. The medical staff told him it was 2nd degree burns and he would have "scars for life." Steve was in bed a month after the accident and wore his far-infrared long johns over the bandages and magnetic insoles in his far-infrared socks even while sleeping. Here are two photos. One of the burn and the other showing what his leg looked like one year later... Steve's leg burn after the burn accident, May 1999. They said he would have "scars for life." Here's what Steve's leg looked like one year later. Do you see any "scars for life?" I marvel (as he does) that there are NO visible scars from the severe burns. Steve and his wife, Karen, believe the Lord used the Nikken products to help his body handle this problem and respond with such dramatic results. Many people think it's wise to have a supply of Nikken products handy forIMMEDIATE use in the event of ANY unforseen emergency, like this? After all, something like this COULD happen to ANY of us, couldn't it?

I sustained several second degree burns on my wrist and lower arm area from splattering hot grease. I immediately turned on the PiMag filter and ran the water on my burned area for several minutes. I then rubbed the area with the Nikken CM Cream. It initially burned; however, after about 10 minutes the burning stopped. I reapplied the CM Cream again after another 10 minutes. Within an hour’s time, the blisters had gone down. I have applied the CM Cream at least once each day; now, two weeks later, I can barely tell that I had been burned. I love my Nikken technologies.

Two weeks ago just before the product launch while at a restaurant I tipped over a pot of boiling water (for tea) onto my lap. I pushed my husband off the bench screaming I'm burned. My right leg had an area 10 x 14 and my left leg the size of the kenko flex. I immediately slathered the CM cream on both legs and put the flex over my right leg. When we got to the launch a doctor and a nurse looked at my legs and I was starting to blister. We again slathered CM cream and then they pinned a towel dripping with optimized water on my leg. I sat through the product launch with a pitcher of optimized water and dripped it on my leg. When I got home I used the CM cream and the long johns. Two weeks later, I have no marks or scars on my left leg and five faint red marks on my right leg. If I had used conventional methods I would have scars all over both legs. Thank you Nikken and all those who spread the word about these wonderful products.

The FIR products work very well -- you can cut the wraps open to fit different areas. If areas are open for dressing change daily or more often, use the KenkoWave as well. The PalmMag or Biaxial minis can make a big difference in pain control. If they're able to drink fluids, make sure it's Optimized water -- and start them on Jade GreenZymes, Kenzen, & Immunity for starters -- their protein & overall nutritional needs are much greater than average. The Perfect Start would be a great protein source for them as well. And obviously the sleep system will have a huge impact on them as well -- as soon as drainage is contained within the dressings. The Air Wellness Power5 can have a significant impact on the healing process, too. They can benefit greatly from it all!

I accidentally grabbed an oven rack, resulting in an immediate burn on my thumb. I wondered just which NIKKEN product to use, so I doused my throbbing digit in PiMag water, then a few minutes with the KenkoWave and finally held a mini on it (sliding it around in circles) for about 45 minutes while thinking what an idiot I am for touching a hot rack! The pain just gave up and the white burn was completely gone with NO blister or redness.

I received second degree burns on my hand after I grabbed a hot curling iron by mistake. I had optimized PiMag water available to soak my hand. I then wrapped it in the demo comforter for 5 minutes and repeated the sequence. After about 20 minutes I applied CM cream. I had no discomfort and just a small red mark. The red marking went away in a couple days.

On May 29th, 2006, a pressure cooker pot of corn on the cob exploded as I was going to open it. I received 2nd degree burns from top of forehead to chest area - my left hand was burned most severely. We immediately put ice water on my burns, but I began going into shock with the pain. We traveled 1 hour to the hospital, but then was left to sit & wait at the hospital. Finally they came to me and wanted statistics! When I asked for something for pain, the attendant said "You've been waiting 1 1/2 hour - you can wait some more." Clyde & I left & went to another hospital where good treatment was given. At the second hospital I received morphine right away. I was told I should be taken to the Seattle burn center because of severity & extent of my burns. I was given pain medication & prescriptions for additional pain medication & the doctor said pain would be even worse during the next 2-3 days. They said I could return home rather than go to the Seattle burn unit, if I promised to return to be checked the next day. Three hours later the morphine began wearing off and the pain began increasing again as we left the hospital to go home, however we had a far-infrared travel blanket in the car and I covered my face/hand & chest with it. The pain began diminishing & in about an hour it was gone. I kept far-infrared on from then on. On the next day I went back to the doctor for a check up. The Dr. said she couldn't believe how well I looked and seemed shocked by my appearance. She asked how my pain level was & I said I hadn't been having any pain. The doctor said, "Those prescriptions must
have worked very well for you." I replied that I hadn't gotten the prescriptions - that we had used our Nikken Far-infrared products. After I explained far-infrared technology a bit, she asked, "How come this hasn't been made known to the medical field?" The doctor then flung the curtain open & yelled at her staff to come & see this "miracle." This doctor has since taken products to her nephew who suffered burns 4 years ago as he is still suffering because of infections & pain from his burns.

My precious little one (4 yrs old) had grabbed the hot curling iron. The scream pierced my heart. She had burnt her thumb and forefinger badly. I happened to be wearing the elastomag neck wrap and I immediately ripped it off my neck and put her hand on it as I held her. She began calming down but every time she moved her hand it would hurt again. It is so hard for children to understand and hold still, so after about 30 minutes we put her hand in ice cold PI-water. We would alternate between these two items till bedtime. Before bedtime I put some Aloe Vera on the reddened area hoping it would keep it moist through the night. She slept through the night. In the morning you could barely tell she had burnt her thumb and forefinger. No blisters formed and there was barely a red area visible anymore and she played as if nothing had happened. WOW I am so impressed and thankful for the NIKKEN products. I keep scraps of magstrides on my refrigerator for the times I burn a finger or whatever when I am cooking. This is my story. 319-390-4296
