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.

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.

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. After being 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 dinner because of my
discomfort. I always got a lot worse if I had to sit for 30 minutes or more. I
had none of these symptoms before my 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.

I was experiencing leg aches which were waking me up at night.
I've had the Magsteps in non-stop for several weeks and am sleeping on a
Kenkopad. I can't believe the difference!! And my back, which has literally
ached for years, does not hurt at all. Amazing!!!

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 come 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 computer sales J.O.B. had been network marketing I would already be
wealthy! I love the idea of continuing to get paid tomorrow, for my efforts of
today---all the while, making a difference in someone's health.

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 thatwas 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.

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 y without increasing anydiscomfort to around 70% just
by incorporating these products into my daily life. I wore my support for about
18 mo nths 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.

From: hog9heaven@aol.com
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 eurosurgeon
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 adifference. 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.

I have had a unique change with a back injury. I suffered for 5
years from a muscle/nerve damage from an auto accident. With the use of these
awesome products, I went from a collapsing/labored walk to a normal
gate/jogging in only one year! The doctors (Mayo Clinic) said that I needed
surgery and would eventually be in a wheelchair. Today, I twist, bend, lift and

How many people, including myself, suffered from back discomfort
for years, and now using our wonderful products, don't even know we have backs?
I personally 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 brother has a tens unit implanted and has had 12 back
operations over a period of 25years. He is 57 and was unable to support himself
when I got involved with 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, tuc ked 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.

From: windilworth@sunvalley.net
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.

The PalmMag is pretty incredible. I have a friend of mine that
never believed in Nikken products and did not give any of it a real try until the
PalmMag came 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 husband works very hard physically. The other evening he made a

stand up straight. For the rest of the night he used the Back Flex. No
discomfort the following morning! He knows our products are great but this

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. Dr. Bob Wynman

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.

I 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 m e 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 theoperation 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). One week after the
accident she could drive as a passenger in her husbands car. By mid-January
2004 she was traveling on flights. By 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 hitand 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. Beth ----------------------------------------------------------------

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.
