A friend of mine had 4
back surgeries and a week before they were going to put in a morphine pump, he
tried the magsteps and back flex and is now doing great without having to have
the surgery. Art 336-854-9808 North Carolina

At the time I discovered
Nikken's magnetic insoles I did not have any discomfort or lack of energy. As a
matter of fact I was playing ice hockey three times a week and feeling pretty
good overall. Then an outgoing and personable man, who has since become a
fantastic friend, introduced me to Nikken, their products, and what the
benefits provide to people. Of course I didn't believe a word he said at
first...it was the old "Oh no, another sales pitch" and "Magnets!
Ya right! You've got to be kidding!"
Then I agreed to a flexibility demonstration. All I can say is
"WOW!" Before he could comment on the results I was grinning from ear
to ear and giggling like a child! By placing the Flex promo pad in the back of
the waist of my pants I gained a tremendous amount of flexibility in my torso.
I was all but dumbfounded by what I had just seen with my own eyes and
experienced with my own body. He then offered a pair of Magsteps for me to try
out while reffing a game that night. So I did...only problem was I put the
bumpy side up in my skates. Oh man did that hurt! So in between games I
switched over to having the smooth side up. I quickly forgot they were in my
skates as the second game was pretty intense. Afterwards, while I was changing
out of my reffing gear I remembered that I had the insoles in the skates and
realized something; my legs weren't tired at all. In fact they had recovered
from sprinting up and down the ice to stay up with the flow of the game even
before the game was over! These products
are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (as is this company) and I am constantly looking for
ways to share them with everyone I come into contact with. I urge you all to
keep helping people by sharing what we've found...even if you think the person
you're talking with has no discomfort at all. Nikken's products help us in the
areas we're looking for help in and also in ways we would don't expect!

My wife has a lower back
condition that has bothered her for many years. Since her father has severe
joint discomfort we have assumed that she has it too. But we don't know this. A
recent trip to the doctor did not confirm the disease in her case, though it did
not rule it out either. Linda is much more comfortable from using the flex all
the time 24 hours a day. She sleeps much better and snores less on the sleep
system--in fact she hardly snores at all anymore. She sits on a Kenko seat at
work and finds this helpful. I
personally have greater flexibility and strength from wearing magsteps/strides
(one of the other) all the time. I take the multivitamin and I often wear a
flex. At 60 I feel better than I have felt in years. People who have known me
for a long time say that they have never seen me exhibit such enthusiasm and
well being. I attribute this to Nikken--a combination of regained hope for our
future b/o the business and use of the products. My wife commented this morning
that my positive attitude has grown and that she appreciates my openness to
change. A friends son broke his collar
bone while skiing. He had to take ibuprofen at school and codeine at night.
After one day of using the Super Mini he was able to stop taking the ibuprofen
at school and said that the discomfort was much less. When his mother saw how Super Mini helped her
son and reported a persistent discomfort in elbow area that she has had for
years. She has screws in the elbow.
After two days of wearing the wrap + card promo pad she said the discomfort was
gone and that the noise made by the screws (when she extended and rotated her
arm in a normal manner) was considerably decreased. I can testify to the sound
decrease. When I first heard it the sensation was so unpleasant to my ears that
I whenced and shuddered. After the two Nikken products I could hardly hear the
screws at all.

My
name is Clare Strohman in Los Osos, California (on the central coast west of
San Luis Obispo). Before Nikken I was in generally poor health, lacked energy
and was stooped over. I had been to physical therapy, exercise classes,
physicians and Chiropractors throughout my 54 years, but nothing helped me stand up
straight and I had upper and lower back agony. I did not notice any difference using
the magsteps, but I could get out of bed easier using the Kenkopad. Six months
later after also using the nutritionals, my hairdresser of 19 years commented
that my hair was thicker and the former auburn color was replacing my current
unmanagable gray. That has continued. Then 18 mos after first using the
products, I saw my reflection in a store window and didn't even recognize
myself for I was standing up straight! I continue to use many of the products
including always wearing the magsteps and necklace along with the bracelet and
back flex or belt.
For a severe agony I experienced in my jaw joint, I found one mini
helped the lower jaw hang straight and additional mini on the other jaw joint
kept me quite comfortable. I did however, need to wear a simple plastic splint
molded to my upper teeth (sold for athletes in sporting stores), and replace my
Kenko pillow, which I adored, with the soft pillow before I could open my mouth
and chew comfortably. I wear minis on
both jaw joints when getting my teeth cleaned. This helps me open my jaw wider
and more comfortably.

I suffered from back discomfort for over 42 years due to fractures
and dislocated vertebrae. I achieved relief in 40 minutes by inserting a flex
promo pad in my waistband. I've helped several others with similar problems by
using the newer elastomag back belt or the combination of the flex magnet in
the pocket of the kenkotherm back belt. These all put the maximum effect of the
magnets right on the problem. I also sleep on the kenko pad, but it's the flex
and/or the backbelts that make the biggest difference for me!

My name is Roz Kovel. I had chronic lower back discomfort -- 12
years of trying everything including chiropractic, physical therapy, ultrasound,
acupuncture, exercise, massage, and drugs – 3 months on the sleep system
cleared it up; sleep mask after oral surgery/bone grafts reduced inflammation
overnight, I didn't need any pain medication, and after 1 week oral surgeon
said my gums looked like 3 weeks of healing; same experience after rotator cuff
surgery -- shoulder elastomag and vest helped reduce swelling, I didn't need prescription
meds, and had full range of motion back in 2 days (doc said I would not be able
to raise my arm over my head for 2 weeks
and when I showed him I could do it in 2 days, he said I was just
"strong!")

I hurt my back terribly (felt like I broke it) after 2 days of
agony used the Back kit. It was great. I kept the belt on only the Elastomag
one for 1 extra week. Just in case. I loved what it did for me. Also, it seemed
more convenient than the Flex. I just dressed around it.

I hurt my back last month. I had been using the back flex and FIR
wrap along with sleeping on the sleep system and wearing magsteps. While I got immediate relief from the
magcreator, in that I was able to straighten my body after the first 24 hours,
I have not been able to handle weight-bearing movements like standing and
walking without immense discomfort. So today I decided to use the elastomag
belt and I have been comfortable all day. For me the difference is quite
remarkable. I think the reason is that the belt covers a larger area. As we all
know, pain is not always experienced at its source. Now I do not have to chase
the pain.

My sister uses the back flex and magboys regularly. Ten years
after a lumbar fracture, she still has the stabilizing pins in her back. She says
the products have helped her flexibility and prevent the pain she usually has
in her "tweaked" back. Sarah's schedule is that of a professional
athlete and includes several hours of training every day. (She hasn't seen the
need to have the pins removed although they usually get removed in a year or
two.) I also have a good friend who
hasn't taken his Nikken necklace off since he got it several months ago. He has
pins in his neck to stabilize
his cervical vertebrae. He can now golf comfortably. Prior to the
necklace, he considered giving up the game. I hope this helps. Lisa Will

I had back and neck pain and migraines due to an auto accident in
6/94. I suffered with discomfort everyday from the time I awoke. Afterbeing up about 30
minutes things would get better until around 1PM and then I would have
increased discomfort and had to resort to taking 600mg Motrin a lot and
Flexoril many nights to sleep. Many nights I would go to better soon after
dinner and sometimes before accident. I tried the magsteps only for 8 months.
Although my friend told me they had helped people with back discomfort they
were not enough for me. Because the magsteps alone didn't solve my problem I
didn't try the sleep system. I finally got desperate and tried the sleep system
as well and from then on things got much better. I have not taken any
medication for almost a year. I feel the sleep system is the key. Obviously the
magsteps are great but sometimes the problem can be bigger then what they can
do so go with the sleep system always if possible. Hope this is helpful. Use
whatever info you think is necessary.

Edward
is in pretty good health and is a runner. But we both wear the Magsteps and
have the Kenkopad, and they have helped my back. I have had a slipped disk and
2 bulging disk for a long time, and nothing would help, until I tried the
magsteps. They have really helped, I can now mop my floors instead of having Ed
to mop them. I can also get down on the floor to play with my grandkids, which
I couldn't do before.

I
had been dealing with increasing pain in my back, hip and foot. Found out it
was due to a birth defect in my back. A defect that I share with my father,
brother and grandfather. The doctors have not been able to help any of us.
Adjustments don't work. They only offer medication and tolerance. I tried a
Kenko Flex and the pain left within 3 hours. If I forget to wear it the pain
comes back again within 2 days. I know the magnet is working! The magsteps took
away the pain in my foot. And sleeping on the kenko pad takes care of my hip. I
love these products!!

I
had a lot of discomfort, problems before Nikken entered my life. I had
insomnia, a bad neck problem from 3 whiplashes over a 20 year period of time.
My lower back constantly hurt from a car accident from 3 years ago. 6-18-95 I
fell while skiing and broke my leg and blew some major ligaments in my knee.
12-09-96. I fell while skiing another time and tore my rotator cuff, (shoulder)
3-02-98. So life was pretty bad with all my aches and discomforts. I had been
going to a chiropractor 3 days a week for over 10 years for my constant neck problem
and bad headaches. This led to not much sleep due to the level of discomfort. I
was taking all kinds of medication too. Muscle relaxers, pain pills. I actually
had enough medical bills to claim it on my taxes last year. Then I really
finally did it, I had been skiing over 20 years without a serious mishap, and I
fell and broke my leg, and lost my ACL, severed it in half, and almost tore the
MCL in half. I was in for a long rehab. No surgery though. I wish that I had
known about Nikken and the wonderful products back then, but no such luck. Then one
day late in April, 1998, I met a nice lady at Pet Co who was wearing a button
that said "Own your life ask me how" We started talking and I shared
my body ache stories and she told me about another way to get help. I was ready
to try anything for my 20 yr. Headache from my neck spasms. She loaned me a
kenko pad an infrared quilt and the soft pillow. I also bought a pair of magsteps,
and some Nikken cat. By the 3rd night using the sleep system, I noticed I was
getting more sleep dreaming for the first time in a long time, and that my
shoulder wasn't as sore. I had torn it March 2, 1998, and slept on the pad the
first night was April 29, 1998. By the 5th night,
my
low backache was feeling better, I asked her if I could just try it a few more
days, and she agreed. By the 8th night I woke without a headache for the first
time in 20 yrs. I cried tears of joy. The Magsteps hurt my feet at the
beginning, but I just kept them on, and rode out the discomfort. I had been
wearing an orthopedic brace that was custom made out of carbon steel ($1000.00)
ever since my ski accident. In my job I walk a minimum of 8 miles in a day and
carry heavy bags of coins to fill the slot machines. I felt I needed that brace
for support and safety. About 1 1/2 weeks after wearing the magsteps May 7th I
went to work without the brace for the first time. I haven't worn it since. I will wear it however while
skiing this winter, yes I still ski. Long story short, these remarkable products saved me from a life of
misery and addictive prescription meds, they have literally saved my life, or
given me my life back. I use the back flex and back belt, for lower back, I use
a mini on my shoulder with nik stix, I use a mini and the knee wrap at night, I
wear the gold necklace (a god send) and don't go anywhere without magsteps in
my shoes. I have noticed that the longer I am in the magnetic field the better
I feel and the stronger my body is becoming.

We
had a wonderful experience this month with a woman who was suffering chronic
back distress for 15 years. Nothing could ease her discomfort. She drives a lot in connection with her job and
was actually on the verge of trading in her car because she was so uncomfortable
in the seat. But after her introduction to the KenkoSeat, her back quit
hurting. She also uses the KenkoFlex, mostly when
she
is working in her yard. Apparently her back used to go into spasms after a few
minutes of yard work. So she is really excited and delighted with the products.
They just took the demo pad and pillow to try. I think that would be wonderful
for her if she likes it. Her mother-in- law became a distributor just because
of the help Pam (the daughter-in-law) has received. Phillip Poe suggested I
send you above testimony. I had sent it to him.

Became
interested in the products when introduced to them because of a bad back, due
to training horses for many years, and wondering if I would be able to continue
my training due to the discomfort that I had. Then a friend of mine who was a
Nikken independent distributor talked me in to trying some of the promo pads
and kenko seat. And what a difference it has made. I have cut down the usage of
chiropractic treatment almost 75%. And I feel like continuing my training of
horses and riders. So now I am an Independent Distributor since October of 98.
I am not only using the products on myself, but use them on my training horses
for different problems, and also just to help keep them relaxed. Nikken has
been a fun business for me.

We
have had wonderful product experiences. I have been discomfort free in my lower
back for nearly a year. I credit this to the magsteps and the Backflex, which I use when playing
golf in addition to sleeping on the sleep system. I have not been to a
chiropractor in 12 months and used to go routinely (at least once a month). I
would not be able to straighten up after golf or other strenuous activity. My wife
has been off of her allergy medicine for several months. She also has noticed
some improvement in her arthritic joints, especially hands and knees. She was
recently diagnosed with osteoporosis after suffering a broken leg. The leg has
healed faster due to application of FIR and two minis to the break site in
addition to the use of the sleep system.

In
Dec 97 I was ready to quit the one thing my wife and I love to do. We raise and
train horses, including having a breeding operation, IO also own a
manufacturing business. I was on the verge of quitting all of it and retiring
because I hurt all the time. It would take me as long as 3 hours to trim and
shoe a horse, but with the back flex, magsteps and the necklace I can do it in
about 1 hour or less. I back at training and riding more than I have in 5
years. I use to love to get off work at the other shop come home saddle
something up and ride for a hour or so. I quit that early in 97, because I
could not sit straight in the saddle. I'm now working longer hour and loving
it. I also found
it
works on horses even better than humans.

We
decided to join Nikken because of product experiences which relieved my back
discomfort. After using the products for ten days, my back discomfort
associated with two back surgeries disappeared. After three weeks of sleeping
on the products, I was able to stop taking sleeping pills of which I had used
for 1.5 years. We bought the sleep system shortly after these life changing
experiences. Learning about the business we were so engrossed about magnetics
and far-infra-red we knew nothing about the nutritional products, except had
heard they were good. I was diagnosed with Chrons Disease about six years ago
and go to the Chrons Clinic in Chapel Hill. I have this disease in my small
intestine. Less than 5% of the persons having this disease have it there. The
surgical solution is not as easy as in the large intestine. I have never had
surgery but it has taken me 5 years to get off steroids and a lot of other
expense, high powered, bad for you, drugs. I have been taking 6mp, (a drug used
to treat leukemia in children) and pentasa. When I started taking Nikken
nutritionals, I could tell the difference almost immediately. I couldn't
remember if I had taken my Chrons medicine or not. Then, I started to monitor not
taking the medicine at all. I was able to get off the medication entirely in
about three weeks. That has been over three months now
and
I feel the best I have felt in years. I would not have attempted this without
the knowledge of what the sleep system does for you particularly the comforter,
with my condition. These products are wonderful they have changed my life!!!!

A
friend had been involved in a major fender bender and hurt all over, to the
point it was interfering with her quality of life. The accident had also
activated an old back injury. I found out about the accident about four days or
so after it had happened. At that time she had gone to a massage therapist and
was unhappy with her results, since she actually hurt worse. Guess what? She
noticed a difference in her comfort level after only two or three nights on the
demo pad. She was also using the Kenkoseat, since she drives a lot in her work.
After a week, she returned the products and said she felt as if she had never
had the accident. She was astonished and kept a couple of the products to show
her father out of state. The prescription a physician had written her to get
physical therapy was still sitting in her car unused. I still get a thrill when
someone feels better after using the products.

In
1990 and 1991, I had lower back surgeries done. The operations stopped the pain
in my hips and legs. They did not, however, stop my back from hurting. I'm a
general contractor and painter. What I did at work during the day decided what
I was able to do at night. I walked like
a 90 year old man. At the time of the surgeries I was 35. I walked bent over
until I could grab a doorframe or something
high enough to pull myself upright. This went on till April of 1999. That was
the third month of sleeping on the full mattress sleep system. We became distributors
in Jan. of 99. Bought the sleep system in Feb. The first month was tough
getting used to a new mattress. It felt like concrete compared to our old
mattress. The second month was worse. My back hurt in places it hadn't hurt for
a long time. I was ready to sleep somewhere else. My upline is in the med
profession and he told me to stick it out. That this was my body going back
through some old problems and injuries. The third month was an improvement
daily. Each morning was better than the previous day. By the end of the third month
I could stand up straight in one motion and do it quickly. I could drive long
distances and get out of the car and do the same. I was one of the people who
did not get immediate positive results from the sleep system. I still tell
everyone this story. The sleep system is
worth
10 times what it cost me. I love it.

I
watched Richard, my husband, struggle with back problems for years--sometimes
to the point of being immobilized for days. A pair of Magsteps helped with a
heel problem and set the stage for us to enter Nikken. Within 90 days Richard's
back was 10 years better. Today it is 20 years better. We have changed our
lives, the lives of our family members and the lives of complete strangers just
by asking them to walk, stand, sit and sleep on Nikken products. I started in
the computer industry in 1984 and saw it explode. When I saw Nikken---I knew the
Wellness Industry would be bigger than the computer industry. And if my

Hi
my name is Jacqueline Richardson. A job injury in October 1999 left me with a
cervical injury to C6 and C7, with spinal cord and nerve compression, nerve
damage and injury to my right hand. I had cervical surgery in January 2000 to
replace a disc in my neck that was causing the compression. Following the
surgery the pain and swelling increased severely. The medications did not work
and my condition got worst. I developed facial pain, multiple trigger points in
my upper body that send radiating pain throughout my entire body. My doctors documented that I would be unable
to return to secretarial work and would need extensive physical therapy with
injections which could only guarantee me about a 80% recovery at best. I could
do no domestic work and I was in constant pain and slept about three hours a
night. My sister-in-law in Orlando told me about the Nikken products and we
went to Orlando to check them out. Within two days of using the sleep system,
neck wrap, insoles, magboys and magcreator all my pain and swelling were gone
and I stopped wearing big cervical collar for the first time in four months. After such
a dramatic product experience I became a distributor. About a week after, I
went to the Spine Care Center and after being examined by two doctors was told
that I was in great health. They were amazed after examining my doctor's reports,
x-rays, MRI and seeing such a drastic change, especially in my range of motion.
I told them about the Nikken products I had been using and they said that they
could not argue with the success.

I
have a curvature of the spine -- one curve on top at T3, T4, T5 and the other
at the base of my spine. (It's an S curve). For a long time, I had discomfort
on my left hip. It often got so bad that I'd have a massage just to release the
discomfort at that spot. I also needed a chiropractic adjustment about once a
month. (It had been much worse that that, but a series of physical therapy
treatments with microcurrent and myofascial massage helped a lot.) I taped a
promo pad over the spot on my hip for a few nights and the discomfort pretty
much disappeared. After about a month on the sleep system, all discomfort is
gone. I also do not need chiropractic adjustments as often. When I went to the
chiropractor this week, there was a very noticeable change in my spine. The
type of adjustment I needed was different from anything I had in the past.

BY
ACCIDENT we got introduced to Nikken, a car accident. As a result, I walked
like a man with a stroke, dragging my left leg. My left arm, left hip and left
elbow and lower back were in agony. I'd been in that condition for nine months.
While under doctor's care, I took 4,000 mg of medicine to try to ease the
agony. I began to spit up blood every morning because of the damage to my
stomach from the pills. Thank God for a friend, Dee Smith. On a Saturday, she
loaned me the Nikken magnetic insoles for my feet, a magnetic wrap for my knee,
and a magnetic back pad. My lower back was feeling noticeably better within the
first hour. My knee and all the discomfort that went the full length of my leg
was gone by Tuesday. Matter of fact, I felt so good that I even mowed my own
yard, which I'd been paying to have mowed all summer. I was like a colt let out
of a barn. I finished off Tuesday and Wednesday by mowing four other people's yards.
Thursday, I went back to my doctor and massage therapy. Both of these health
professionals noticed a complete change in my mobility and both of them said,
"I guess we are finally on the right track," (like they were the ones
responsible. Ha) My lower back had been full of dreadful
spasms for nine months. That was the last appointment I've had with any doctor
in regards to my car accident. I now sleep on the Nikken deluxe magnetic sleep
system and drink magnetized water, sit on a magnetic seat in my car and
take
the Nikken nutritional supplements.

Our
Initial Nikken Experiences, by Lionel and Rendie Young
From
Rendie: For 7 years, I've suffered with a low back problem that many times
would go out and I'd be down for days. In 1998, I was on my back on the floor,
on a stack of blankets for over a month. Then in Jan., 2000, I slipped and
fell, putting all my weight on my left ankle. Six weeks later we learned some
bones on the top of my left foot were cracked. After braces, crutches and much therapy,
I was still limping in Jan., 2001. Now, my lower back problem had increased in
agony and was down my right hip, leg and knee. I had to sleep with a pillow
between my legs and slightly shake my right leg to tolerate the discomfort, so
I could go to sleep. In January 2001, a
friend at Denton Bible Church noticed my limping and asked why. She asked if
I'd ever heard of Nikken products. She
said the sleep system did wonders for her body discomforts. She had an extra
one for company and offered to loan it to me. You can imagine what I was
thinking. How could a Nikken 2 inch thick mattress pad help me with all my
agony? (I didn't realize then, it wasn't just another sleep system, there was
powerful technology incorporated into it.) However, after years of suffering
and no relief in sight, except major
surgery (which I was in the process of investigating) I WAS READY TO TRY
ANYTHING. She said for her, it only took five nights, but every situation is
different and it could take several days up to a few months for me to get some
relief. I slept on her Nikken mattress
pad for about a week and noticed I no longer needed a pillow between my legs
and didn't need to shake my leg to go to sleep. Even my former dry, cracked
heel was normal within 3 months. One of the greatest things now is to walk
without limping. Normally, as it nears
evening, my back problem creates discomfort, so I look forward to crawling into
my bed on MY OWN Nikken mattress pad. Within 10 minutes, I have NO discomfort
at all. I don't want to EVER be without a Nikken sleep system again. I even
ordered the Nikken travel pad and sat on it to fly to Indiana to visit my
children, then slept on it while there.
How
does it work? I really don't know or care! What it has done for me is nothing less than
miraculous. I highly recommend the Nikken
sleep system because of my personal experience with it. From Lionel: For several years, I've had
extreme discomfort in my lower back and neck. All treatments were to no avail.
I thought surgery was inevitable. Then, in November, 2000, my right leg was run
over by the dual rear wheel of a motor home. Miraculously, there were no broken
bones but within a few weeks, I started having a lot of discomfort in my foot
and knee, where the dual
tires
of motor home had compressed my leg against the concrete road. Needless to say,
my body was screaming at me at this time. When we learned about the Nikken
products, I decided to try them for my hurting. After all, I'd tried nearly
everything else, why not give this "snake oil treatment" at try
(which I so ignorantly called it)? What did I have to lose? After trying the
sleep system, I noticed a considerable amount of relief. After adding the shoe
insoles, there was no more discomfort in my foot. The necklace provided relief
to my neck and the 5 " x 7 " back pad is working great to relieve my
lower back discomfort. Was all this a coincidence or in my mind? I think not.
What do you think?

I
was diagnosed, through a medical scan, with an herniated disk in my lower back
which caused excruciating pain in my lower back as well as sciatica radiating
down my legs (sometimes the right leg and sometimes the left leg, particularly
behind my knee and in my calf). I also
suffered loss of feeling in the outer edge of both of my feet. I struggled with
this for over 2 years, at times wriggling in pain for days on end ... falling
asleep from exhaustion at 3 or 4 in the morning. Moreover, I felt I had lost my
youthful life .... Before this happened, I was an avid runner, loved skiing
with our kids, backpacking, playing tennis .... all that was lost!! My family physician told me "I'd have to
learn to live with it ...her husband had the same problem and just to
bear-with". Both chiropractors I
saw only seemed to make it worse. The Physio-therapist tried his best but I
found no relief from his length series of sessions. I read book after book on
back problems - tried their recommended exercises but, again, no benefits. The
neurologist indicated that I was a good candidate for surgery and after
struggling with no real relief for over 2 years, I, with great reservations,
accepted his
recommendation
that I'd have to have surgery. As fate
would have it, just as we were waiting for a date for surgery, a colleague at
work told me about Nikken's magnetic products and the benefit it had had on
helping to aid with healing of his wife's shattered ankle. Typically, I'm a
fairly skeptical person but ... the timing was right and I was more willing to
consider alternative means with the hopes of avoiding surgery. I must admit
that I did not at all believe that these products would do anything .... particularly
after so many medical professionals had tried and thought that back surgery was
necessary. My husband was the more open-minded one and encouraged me to give it
a try. To my great SURPRISE, after sleeping on the sleep system, wearing the
back flex all day (and sometimes at night) and wearing the magnetic vest at
times, I woke up on the 14th day
with absolutely NO discomfort in my back or legs, feeling was restored in my
outer feet .... I was on "CLOUD NINE". Typical of a skeptic, however, I still
couldn't quite believe that it was the magnetics that enabled this to happen.
Nevertheless, I was thrilled and raced forward with renewed energy, free of
pain. I was SO ready to reclaim by previous active life back. It was only after
setting out on a weekend backpacking trip 3 weeks later with our family, with a
50 pound back-pack, that I came to fully RESPECT the value that Nikken had
brought to our lives. That first evening, after crawling into my sleeping bag,
I started to feel that old pain set into my lower back. At 3AM I woke in agony and fear
as to how I was going to be able to get out of the wilderness - I had visions
of being air-lifted by helicopter and my husband having to struggle back up the
mountain with our kids in tow. Of course, I had not come prepared with ANY of
Nikken's products ....but then my husband indicated to me that he had his
magsteps in his hiking boots and perhaps they'd help. Well I never thought I'd
relish a pair of COLD, "stinky" magnets so much. Within minutes of
tucking them into my pajamas, I felt
the
discomfort ease and by morning, I was free of any discomfort and able to enjoy
the rest of our family weekend. Since
that day, over a year and a half ago, we have helped so so many people with
back challenges. I'd be happy to talk with anyone who is suffering with back
problems and encourage them to give Nikken's products (and themselves) a
chance. Phone # 250-598-0876

As
a guy who is has been in nursing since 1977, I thought my middle name was
"crane". Us guys are literally abused in the system, no matter how
well we utilize good body mechanics. We are always called upon to do most if
not all of the lifting - of anything. After so many years of lifting and
tugging, etc., and living with a herniated disk for 9 years or so, I finally
had surgery after my disk ruptured.
L5-S1
- not the best place for one to rupture. They discovered I also had
degenerative disk disease as well. I was told it would migrate up my spine
progressively and there would be nothing I could do about it except take
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin, Nuprin, Naprosyn, Alleve,
etc. I can't take these medications so that was out. I had a laminectomy in May
1999 and met our Janette Robinson - a Wellness Consultant - later in the same
month literally on the beach. I had to have assistance just getting up from the
sand I was so stiff and sore. A year later, we finally had our sleep system and
what a difference it made in reducing my stiffness and discomfort in the
morning - every morning. I still have stiffness in the morning but I can MOVE
now where I could not before. I have slept on the "system" going on
my second year now and it has increased my flexibility tremendously compared to
the days before our sleep system. However,
I have found that when I use my MagSteps along with my Elastomag back support,
I have SO much more comfort that is longer lasting. My flexibility prior to
using these products was documented at about 45%. I have improved my
flexibility without increasing any discomfort to around 70% just by
incorporating these products into my daily life. I wore my support for about 18
months EVERY day to get to this level of comfort. Trust me, when I don't use my
back support, I know it. It takes about 48 hours for me to get back to a normal
level of comfort after being off of it for several weeks - I did this on
purpose to see if it really made a difference. So I know from my personal
experience, it does. I have also noticed that taking the nutritionals and joint
compound helps sustain my "comfort zone".
Forgetting
to take the nutritionals negatively impacts the efficacy of the Far-infrared
and the magnetics, based on my personal experience. I cannot arrest the progression of my disease
but I can decrease the rate of that progression and decrease my undeniable
discomfort along
the
way. Hey, and I can be happy along the way too!

In
1994, our young son was injured in an accident that left him writhing in
terrible agony. We were afraid his back or his neck might be broken. An
ambulance took him to the emergency room, where they said his tailbone was
badly injured, that this was a very painful type of injury and that there was
very little they could do for him. They were right, even the pain medication
did very little to help him. He was in bed and in tears. He couldn't go to
school; he couldn't play soccer; he couldn't even get out of bed without help. Rich's brother had told us about the Nikken
products. Yes, we were skeptical, but we decided to try them on our son. What
did we have to lose? Our son was in agony and we wondered if he would have back
problems the rest of his life from this injury. Imagine how delighted we were:
one day he was in bed and in tears and the very next day he got out of bed, he
went to school, and he was back playing soccer again, just like nothing had
happened. We said, "WOW! What in the world have we got our hands on?"
That was the first of so many
heart
warming experiences of seeing smiles on the faces of people feeling better.
It's now been several years since then, and our son still feels great and he
still uses the Nikken products, and so does the rest of the family. We used to
go to the chiropractor all the time, but we haven't needed to, since we've been
using the Nikken products. We are healthier than we have ever been, and have
saved tons of money on doctor bills. We
receive powerful testimonials from others every day. That's because Nikken
products often provide dramatic, life-changing results. Nikken's advanced
wellness technologies are applied to address major concerns of modern living:
discomfort, stress, health and wellbeing.
This is an opportunity that pays very well in money and in satisfaction.
Since we decided to share the Nikken products and opportunity with others, we
are earning a great income, and it feels good to know that every dollar earned
represents someone feeling better.

Prior
to becoming a wellness consultant two years ago, I was having difficulty
walking, sitting, standing and enduring numbness on my left side down to my
toes. After an MRI, it was revealed that I had a bulging disc and some
arthritics. I was given a series of three steroid injections. If the third
injection did not relieve my discomfort, I was told I would have to look at
surgery. (I had already tried vioxx.) After the last injection, I was feeling
great with no discomfort for approximately two and one-half months and then the
numbness and discomfort began to reappear.
Fortunately,
a friend introduced me to the products and told me how they had helped her with
a similar health challenge. Immediately, I began to use the sleep system, back
belt, insoles, nutritionals (especially Emerald Harvest) and lots of water.
After six weeks, I could begin to see improvements in my discomfort as well as
my total quality of life. I have continued to use the above products
consistently and I have no discomfort - no surgery - no medication and lots of
energy!

I
suffered for over 12 years with what was called a degenerative disc, in my
lower back. I was a construction contractor and worked hard. My wife often had
to help me put my cloths on in the morning. I hurt when I got up, I hurt during
the day, and I hurt when I went to bed at
night. Sometimes I wandered around the house at night, wondering if I
would be able to provide for my children. The doctors had me on a prescription
that had some awful side effect on my stomach. When I heard about Nikken and
the products, it made me mad to think someone would come up with such a
ridiculous idea and take advantage of my condition!!!!!!!!!!! Today I sleep on
a Nikken bed, I wear magsteps all the time, and I am more often than not
wearing the Kenko flex over the area of the problem. I drink lots of water and
have not had a pill in the 3 years since I started on the Nikken products. I am
a happy healthy man again, and my wife likes me better than ever now. I was a
regular visitor to the chiropractor, but have not seen him since starting on
the products, other than to tell him about the products.

I
have been a registered nurse for 19 years. For 8 of those years I worked with
the fine people of our community in the emergency room of our local hospital in
Littleton. I worked two 12-hour shifts (graveyard) on the weekends. I was an
unstoppable, "Ever-Ready bunny" until one morning in February, 1998.
I was at work when I was overcome by a sudden change in my well-being. During
the course of an hour, I became extremely light-sensitive, felt as if someone
had placed a seashell over my head and began pushing me toward the floor. An
urgent, pressing, horrible feeling seized my head. My own ER docs were not sure
what was wrong. I spent the next 10 days in the
hospital
in a darkened, quiet room (not unlike a tomb, I suppose) and received IV
medications hourly to relieve my agony. I was tortured by light, sound,
dizziness, nausea, and head-hurting beyond description. My senses were under
attack. Many months and many physicians later, we finally discovered what the
problem was. In essence a hole, origin unknown, the size of a fifty-cent piece
was found in the coverings of my spinal cord. The hole provided the port
through which the fluid of my spine drained out not unlike pulling the plug in
a full tub of water. Imagine with me, blown out tires on an 18 wheeler
traveling 70 miles per hour down I-80. Could that be repaired with a fix-a-flat?
NO!! A patch-job was attempted but to no avail. A few weeks later when the hole
was located, a Denver-based neurosurgeon determined that my condition
necessitated a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The specialists
at this world-renowned medical facility had
first-hand
experience with my problem. So, in July
1998, we drove to Rochester where I was further diagnosed and immediately had
surgery. As you might suppose, this was not a minor procedure. My neurosurgeon
called it "an extensive patch job". He further indicated that I could
expect to remain with certain functional and comfort limitations for the rest
of my life. (Not a very happy prospect for a 38-year-old mother of seven.) After
more procedures at Mayo in the fall of the same year, the patch finally held
and the other small holes that had developed were successfully
closed.
The physicians were expressly concerned that the coverings were so damaged that
they would be forever delicate and subject to tearing.
The
18 months following the surgery were no picnic either. I could not tolerate
bending over as my back and side would not permit it and my head felt like it
would explode. Surely I had had enough of that! I remained super-sensitive to
light to the extent that I had to wear glacier-type sunglasses outdoors and
tinted plano lenses indoors. I could not be hugged as I could not tolerate the
jarring or the usual back-patting. This was hardest on my children (the
youngest was 18 months old at the time.) I lost feeling in the skin on my back
and side, and the deeper discomfort in my mid-torso prevented me from lifting
much of anything. In fact the surgeon told me never to attempt to lift objects
heavier than a pillow. For the next few months I was kept upright by
prescription medications and sheer
will-power. Enter Nikken. I thought it
was a bit ridiculous (okay, very ridiculous-after all I was an experienced,
competent ER nurse at a local trauma center!!) But I respected the person who
brought these products to my attention. After 10 days of wearing the back flex,
I noticed a difference. After about 2 months on all the products, I experienced
significant reduction in my limitations. At 4 months into the process I noticed
that my side, back muscles, and skin felt and worked normally again. At 5
months I no longer needed to wear tinted glasses
indoors
or dark glasses outdoors. Within 9 months of being on the complete sleep system
(magnetic mattress, magnetic pillow, and the far infrared quilt), and using
insoles, magnetic jewelry and small easy-to-conceal magnets during the day, I
was completely liberated from the agony that held me bound during the previous
24 months. I came to understand that my recovery was a process, not a single
event. I am now free to carry on the
normal life of a busy mother and wife and be demonstratively loved by my
children. The three youngest are boys. I now jump on the trampoline with them! My story is not a miracle of a supernatural
nature. To the contrary, it is the miracle that the body can accomplish when
placed in the proper environment and given a chance to heal itself. It is quite
ironic and special to me that the products of the company that has changed my
life greatly esteems hugs and the energy they exchange! Oh how I like hugs Take
a serious look at these products but more importantly the business opportunity
that Nikken provides. There is purpose and vision here. The psychological income from helping
people is priceless. The monetary reward can be life changing not only for you
but also for your posterity. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to
explore Nikken thoroughly. Wellness and
balance in all facets of life is the key. We look forward to serving with you
and helping you on your journey. Health, prosperity and happiness to you.

I
always remember having lower back discomfort even as a kid, but didn't
attribute it to much other than climbing trees and sliding into second base too
many times. About five years ago, I was having so much discomfort that I could
hardly sit at my desk and any sports activity came to a grinding halt. There
was a time when traveling, that I had to be transported around the airport in a
wheel chair because my back was so bad. Although I was going for massage and
chiropractic adjustments a few times a week, the benefits were short lived. I was
finally diagnosed with a condition that is curvature of the spine. I was told
that "there was nothing they (the medical doctors) could
do...
and well, you know the line, "you'll just have to live with it". My husband came home with a pair of magsteps,
which looked to me like Mickey Mouse ears, and a large magnet (flex) for my
back.
The
first few days were brutal! My back hurt even more, and it felt hot and sweaty.
Apparently, the person that sold it to us told me "it was a good
thing"... " that my body was detoxifying... and drink 8 glasses of
water". Yeah right. Anyhow I did as I was told & I persevered, and the
next thing I noticed was that I had more energy at the end of the day. My legs
were not feeling as tired, and I certainly
was
able to do more. My back was feeling stronger and the discomfort felt certainly
less when I was wearing the back flex and insoles together. Next I bought the sleep system- the most
important product Nikken offers. The rest is history. I haven't been back to my
chiropractor since, I am back to playing beach volleyball, and now I wear the
products for maintenance. I may have been skeptical, but I wasn't stupid. I knew that if the company had 33 million
customers... there must be something to this stuff.

How
many people, including myself, suffered from back discomfort for years, and now

suffered for 30 years and haven't had a problem since I started using our
products 4 ½ years ago. One of these days
the medical profession in this country will get out of the box they are stuck
in. Those of us that are out of the box are slowly educating them one at a
time, but in the meantime, remember, surgeons make their living by cutting. Let
the buyer beware. If you have back discomfort, try something out of the box
first. The back you save may be your own. Another ex-doctor and proud of it.

My

Nikken. He was in constant "discomfort." The tens unit just kept him
from screaming--just took the edge off. For
the past 3 years, he has had the tens unit turned off (it causes some pain by
itself). He wears the flex all day, tucked into his waistband on the low back, necklace drawn tight like a
chocker to hit the upper vertebrae, magsteps, and sleeps on the sleep system
with hard pillow. He uses the sleep mask
when his sinus flare up; tapes a mini on each side of his spine at the neck if
he bulges a neck disk (this used to be excruciating and he would be in bed for
two weeks--now he is back to his daily routine after a day or so). Thank you
Nikken for giving him back his life.

I
have degenerative disease of the back, among many other challenges. I literally
was kept working at a very physical job, in a Deli for three years, thanks to
Nikken products. My problem was in the lower back, so I used the FIR back belt
and flex, magsteps, and the bed pad. I would suggest the following for the neck
area. A supper mini on either side of the neck, or the elastomag for the neck.
The mini's will penetrate further, and not be so hot. Also the use of the
magboys, rubbed over, and around the area, as well as spun for a few minutes might
help. The necklace could be worn all the time, and certainly should be
considered for that. I haven't had mine off in 4 years. Haven't
had
a headache in that time, and it has helped with my neck a lot.

I
was diagnosed with an arthritic condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis in
1990. This condition begins in the spine and can effect every joint in the body
as well as eyes and sometimes the aorta. The joints and vertebrae grow spurs to
eventually fuse each joint into solid bone. There is a great deal of discomfort
and disability attached to this. Often people are unable to hold the head up
and become completely fused looking at the ground in a stooped, humped
condition. Treatment includes exercise
to keep muscles strong around the spine in order to keep good posture. Relief
has been found only is serious anti-inflammatory medication. I was on 1700 mg
daily of oral NSAIDS plus injections systemically every 3 months for 9 years. I
was able to cut my medication in half after sleeping on the sleep system and
wearing back flex, insoles and necklace. In fact I never had to have
another
injection. Since JOINT came out and I took 6 each day for 3 weeks when I
eliminated Rx meds completely from my routine. I now maintain on 3 JOINT per
day in addition to all of the other bio-directed nutrition for women. I was
also Post polio and osteoarthritic and I truly have my life back. The magboy in
my purse is still used occasionally for acute discomfort, but that is even
rare.

I
had a client who had an operation on his back and was interested in the PalmMag
for relief of discomfort. While I using the PalmMag over the lower back I began
moving the unit over his entire back especially the spine. I also held the unit
over the top of his head not touching him and stood him on the Magsteps. He
could feel the tingling in his feet through his shoes. After about 20 minutes
he asked me what I had done to him. I asked why and he explained that he had
another operation some years ago and they fussed his vertebrae in his neck and
as a result he had limited ability to turn his head side to side. In addition
to relieving some discomfort in his lower back, he could now turn his head
sideways farther than before. He could not believe it had an immediate effect
on him. Needless to say, he purchased the unit on the spot.

PalmMag is pretty incredible. I have a friend of mine that never believed in

along. She was in several car accidents and has chronic discomforts in the neck
and lower back area. I showed her the PalmMag and asked her if she wanted to
check it out. I put it on her lower back for 10 minutes and we heard this pop
in her back and her back felt so much better. She could not believe it. Two
months later she tripped on the cement and fell and aggravated her neck and
back so she called me to see if I could help her. When she arrived I noticed
she could barely walk and after 45 minutes of the PalmMag and laying on the
sleep system she walked out of my house in tears of happiness that her
discomforts had disappeared. She called me several times to thank me for my patients
and persistence on helping her.

My
problem is stenosis (buildup of calcium between c4-c6) which was creating waves
of numbness radiating down both arms, detected by MRI. The episodes of the
waves of numbness had been increasing through the years (about 20 years) until
they were happening every other day. The doctor told me to consider surgery
(roto-rootering the calcium from the spinal column) - Nikken had just launched
the necklace. Within 4 months of wearing the necklace 24/7, the waves of
numbness essentially stopped. I still get an occasional episode (2 or 3 a
year), but that is significantly better than it had been.

Spondylolysis
can lead to spondylolisthesis, with which I was diagnosed 9/9/75. The date's
fixed in my memory because of the intense pain I experienced after foolishly
lifting a 200# rock into our pickup bed. I could not move from lying on my back
for several days & then only to crawl to the bathroom. X-rays showed
vertebra L5 had slid forward about 3/8" on S1 & I was told my walking
days were over & that I must take pain pills for life & have surgery
(they planned to take donor bone from both my shins to use to fuse 3-4 vertebrae). I refused the surgery, wore a stiff plastic
jacket that compressed my innards about 4" toward my spinal cord for about
30 months & it
enabled
me to continue practicing dentistry & even walk a bit. Daily abdominal
exercises enabled me to eventually get out of the strait jacket, walk, run, x-c
ski & resume a normal life. But every time I forgot to do those daily
exercises, the problem would return & I'd be back in the plastic jacket for
2-3 weeks. Until Nikken!! I no longer do
any special exercises at all & I've not worn the plastic jacket since
wearing MagSteps, Back Flex, sleeping in the Sleep System, drinking 100% of my
fluid intake as Pimag Living Water. Except for being careful how I lift &
avoiding work requiring cotton-picking posture, I have no restrictions & no
one notices I've ever had a back problem.

I've
been working with a person who broke his lower back 16 years ago. The
discomfort has been so bad that he's been on pain killers for a long time, most
recently a form of codeine that leaves him foggy and exhausted. He's working
with a doctor to get off the codeine, but the pain is so intense it's been hard
for him to do so. I did J.E.T
kinesiology testing with him that I learned from a James Stevens training. He
got decidedly stronger with our "Joint Formula." I tested for amount and he was strongest with
3 a day. Tested him with the insoles and back belt and his strength increased.
I used the PalmMag on him with CM cream for about 20 minutes. I loaned him the
back belt, CM cream for him to use until his order came through, and a pad. He
bought a bottle of Joint and insoles I had on hand. I told him to use the CM
cream 3 times a day and take the Joint formula 3 times a day, and also added
the pillow as I told him his spine would be aligned better. I called him back
in another few days, and he said that he wasn't feeling any pain! I was so
thrilled for him. It's a wonderful feeling helping someone get their life back.

had back surgery almost 2 years ago in which 3 vertebra were fused with bone
scraped from my hip. The vertebra were also held together with 3 titanium rods and 6 screws.
The surgery took care of my problem successfully. I got the surgeon's
permission to use the travel pad, pillow, travel blanket which zips into a
pillow, back flex. He would only let me use them when I got to the room
upstairs, not in the recovery room.
I
had a bit of a problem convincing him at first but when I said I would cancel
the surgery without them, he relented. He was leery of putting the back flex on
the incision, but I assured him that it would work on the outside and didn't
have to be put right on the skin. My results were nothing short of miraculous.
I got off the heavy pain medication so fast the nurses were talking about me to
everyone. On one occasion when the
bandage was changed the nurse forgot to put the back flex on again. I knew it
in 2 hours when I needed pain medication
way too early! I also took my PiMag water bottle and drank nothing but that. I
became allergic to the tape on my back and my
sister
put Pi concentrate on the welts and they healed right up! When I came home, we
continued the drop on the incisions and they healed beautifully. The surgeon
thinks he did a great job. I think it was the Nikken products.

Last
April I developed 2 ruptured discs, one at L4-5 and the other at L5-S1. I had
all the classic symptoms, numbness, couldn't walk, etc. I saw one of the
neurosurgeons at the university where I work. Her advice was to continue to
treat this supportively because the statistics say that most people will need
to go back to surgery after 5-8 years due to scar tissue, and that the pain may
not be aleviated even with the original surgery in some cases. I was in agony. I called my friend who was
selling these hokey magnets...I got the backflex, (already had the inserts but
they didn't work
for
this), used the Palm Mag and this aleviated the pain but the BIGGEST difference
for me was taking the Joint & Liver supplements and using the CM cream.
Within 48-72 hours I was off the oxycodone, off the Viox; pain was reduced to
about a 4, then within several days it continued
to decrease to nothing!! THIS is how I got interested in Nikken. I started with 9 Joint tabs/day for 3 weeks,
then decreased to 6 for 2 months, then down to 3 which is what I maintain on.
Some days I do not even think to take it. I intermittently wear the backflex,
but always wear it when I am cleaning, working out, etc. And yes, getting those abdominal muscles in shape is THE
biggest factor in supporting that back, so I do a number of back exercises
nightly before bed. The discs did heal.
The key is that I was willing to give it 6months to see if it improved...lit
didn't even take 2 weeks!! Our Nikken products made ALL the difference.

A
friend lifted a 50 LB bag of cement wrong. By evening he was in great pain. You
could see the slipped disc. I used the magcreator using the roll out method,
after that when over it in a back and fourth method for about 3 minutes than I
concentrated on the area of his back with the magboy making sure they were
spinning. Within 15 minutes the disc had moved back into place. I gave a roll
out for the next 2 weeks the same way as described above. I never cease to be
amazed by these products.

My
daughter, Laura, experienced a major car accident and almost severed the spine
in half. She had a fusion done to T10, 11, 12 and L1 to repair the spine
damage. There was extensive tearing of muscle, tendon, and ligament. When we
got her home two days after the operation we had her use the PalmMag several
times a day. She kept the flex in all the time and slept on a full Nikken sleep
system (pillow, quilt and mattress mid-February
she had traveled by air to Chicago, Tulsa, OK, Atlantic City, NJ, and Atlanta,
GA. How many people do you know who can claim to be traveling all over the east
coast and Midwest within one month of a major back fusion? The PalmMag, flex, and full sleep system have
made a believer of my daughter, her husband, and many others. The products work
and work well. Without Nikken products AND the magnificent surgical skills of
Vanbilts Medical staff my daughter may not be alive today. She is now active and was off pain medication
within 45 days. She is living a life as close to normal as she had before.

One
of our dearest friends was riding his horse and wound up with the horse on top
of him - the horse reared and went over, landing directly on him. He broke his
pelvis in 3 places, 3 ribs, his back and had multiple internal injuries. He was
black and blue from his neck to his knees. As soon as he came home (3 weeks in
the hospital) we put him on pad, back wrap (elastomag), magsteps, magboy, water,
nutritionals. He made an incredible recovery. The bruising was gone in 3 days,
and he was back to work in 2½ months from the time of the accident!

I
have been a Nikken Wellness Consultant for about 4½ years. Almost 2 years ago I
fell up two cement steps. As I was going down, I knew I was going to break my
right arm when I hit the cement step and I am totally right handed so I twisted
to hit my left arm just as I hit and apparently snapped my back up about
thoracic 4 and 5. I immediately put on the kenko flex. The first X-rays were
taken in the physicians office and very inferior. As a professional registered
nurse I should have known better. No break was seen at that time so began
therapy which was pure agony. The break was misdiagnosed until I asked for a
second opinion and that took another week.
Another
week to get new X-rays and another week to get on surgery schedule for a total
of nine weeks. I took no pain pills (even narcotics do not control the spasms
of getting in and out of bed or the car. I learned to not try to pick up
anything that fell and to never sit on a soft chair. We do sleep on the new
dream mattress and pillow and comforter so did not wear the flex to bed. I
admit getting in and out of bed was brief severe spasm. I also know a lady who
had surgery to fix the same type of break was addicted to her narcotics by the
time she was finished with surgery and recovery. My
Kenko flex stayed on my back before and after surgery and my good and faithful
travel pad was on my bed when I arrived in a room. I stayed in the hospital 24 hours so Medicare
would pay my bill, but did not need any pain pills while there.

A
bout with a crippling childhood disease left me with a right leg and hip that
caused a lot of discomfort and walking problems. Almost nine years ago the
Nikken mattress, pillows and Magboy came into my life. What a difference they
made. The hip, back and leg agony that was almost constant for over 15 years
slowly disappeared. A five to ten minute spin with the Palm Mag twice a day
relaxes the hip, back and leg muscles. The time varies, but I feel the muscles
relax and then the whole leg feels better -- no more sharp "stabs"
shooting down that leg. I just lie on my mattress with the PalmMag spinning
beside my hip and read.

I
don't know what in the world I have done to my lower back, but I woke up with
enough discomfort to rate about a "4" on the scale. I rubbed some CM
cream all across my lower back and then sprayed some PiMag water over the area.
Within five minutes my lower back no longer hurt! Placebo? I think not -
because a few hours later, when it begin to hurt again, I repeat the procedure
and within five minutes, I was comfortable.

I
would just like to say again how wonderful the Kenko Flex pad has been for me.
The other day I was on my feet all after- noon and my lower back was feeling
like I had a large knife sticking into it. I realized that I had failed to wear
the Kenko Flex. After putting it on, I had relief from the discomfort in just
minutes.

I
had a place in my upper back that I had adjusted for years and years. The
PalmMag fixed it right up. When I got my first PalmMag 1 ½ years ago, I simply
sat on the sofa while reading my paper in the morning leaning against it.
Voila, no more!

This
is exactly the condition that got us into Nikken. My wife fell down a flight of
stairs which resulted in the disc problem. Our sponsor let her borrow a Flex.
Within an hour she felt relief. In addition to the Flex, we purchased
immediately, MagSteps, a Sleep System, PiMag Bottles and a KenkoSeat. Within 2
months my wife had discontinued all pain medication and had stopped using her
cane. She can paint and paper to decorate our home and work in her flower
gardens with minimal discomfort.

I
have a bulging disc in my neck. When I first experienced the problem, I used
the KenkoWave 30 minutes in the morning & 30 minutes at night. After using
the KenkoWave, I would put CM cream on it. I also wear the pearl necklace. It
took a few months, but I never had to have surgery. I no longer use the
KenkoWave, unless it starts to bother me, which is rare. The lactoferrin was
introduced during the time I was still using the KenkoWave & I noticed
additional improvement when I added the lactoferrin. I also use all the other
products, but I think I can safely say the lactoferrin, KenkoWave, cm cream
& magnets are what helped.

I
have osteoarthritis, degenerative disease, and suffered with back problems for
over 15 years. I worked in a deli, and was thinking of quitting my job. I was
61 at the time. I was introduced to Nikken in '98. I had 3 bulging disc at the
time, #3, 4 and 5. I used the back belt and flex, 24-7 for 3 years. The
terrible pain stopped within 3 days, was gone within a week. I continued to
work for 3 years, until the cartilage disappeared and I had to have surgery.

This
is how I was introduced to Nikken 8 years ago. My 26 year old daughter was told
she MUST have surgery or she would not be able to function. She had been a
couch potato for 6 months because of a disc problem; unable to work, drive or
function at home. She was on 3 different medications for pain. I sent her
Magsteps, FIR back wrap and Flex. She wore them religiously as many hours as
she could (sometimes all night and all day). In 3 days she called me to say
that she was off all medication and was driving to San Diego for the weekend -
a 3 hour drive. She continued to improve and was retrained as a Pharmacy Tech -
on her feet all day. The following spring her Chiropractor
ordered a New MRI which came back "no damage" - no more bulged disc.
She has returned to all of her normal activities including riding her horse.
She continues to wear her insoles and wears the back wrap when she works for
the health benefits she receives from them.
