Sleep Apnia Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)

   Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops and starts during sleep. It is usually

associated with snoring. Snoring is just a sign that the upper airway calibre has narrowed to a

critical degree. Much like water that flows through a narrowing (i.e. a canyon) speeds up creating

turbulence and noise, so too does air that has to flow through a narrowed upper airway at night. If

the narrowing becomes too severe it promotes closure of the airway resulting in an apnea. An

apnea is arbitrarily defined as a cessation of airflow that lasts at least ten seconds. A hypopnea is

defined as a significant reduction in airflow lasting at least ten seconds and usually associated

with a decline in a person's oxygen level.

A video is attached at the end of this blog for your viewing...less than 5 minutes and you will view what many have used to decrease their dependence on the air mask used that is so difficult for people to adapt to and get a quality sleep.

I have a consultant who signed up because she had dealt with sleep apnea for a long time and could not sleep unless she wore a ‘forced air’ unit (which I call a snorkling machine) and I suggested she try our sleep system and loaned her the pad, pillow, and FIR comforter for one week. She does not have to use the ‘forced air’ anymore. She sleeps on the pad and the pillow.

This person I’ve been working with has a sleeping snoring disorder with an oxygen machine. During the one week trial he had immediate results the first night. No waking up, much less snoring and less tossing and turning and not using the machine once.  Every houseguest we have uses the sleep system and they all agree it is fantastic. Don't forget that an exhausted body cannot heal itself. Self-healing happens when you are sleeping, especially during the REM stage and the KenkoPad/Sleep System helps to provide that restful sleep.

For years Bill had the sleep disorder causing house shaking snoring and stopped breathing for minutes at a time when he was asleep.  He did not sleep well, getting up about 9-12 times a night and he always ended up the night moving to his chair to sleep better (?). He was never "rested" and would fall asleep easily and often during the day, even in important meetings and while driving. We finally got an appointment with a surgeon to correct the problem, which is not what we really wanted to do.  While we were waiting the weeks for the appointment date, enter Nikken into our lives. I noticed once on the sleep system, (Kenkopad, comforter, firm pillow), he was only getting up twice a night at the most and quit ending the night sleeping in his chair.  Then, (after a week or so), I noticed his breathing and snoring pattern change. His snoring lessened in volume almost nightly. He quit stopping breathing and breathed normally. We cancelled the appointment with the surgeon. After several weeks and now, 3 years later, he gets up only once or twice at the most in the early morning. He snores no more; the worst is only loud breathing and not even that most of the time. He wakes up rested.  A gentleman in our organization had the same problem and was "sentenced" to sleep in another part of the house. He got the pillow and the sleep mask and his sleep disorder has gone away! These products let our bodies do the work they want to do!

I have been sleeping with the kenko mattress pad, FIR comforter an d pillow for about a year now. I have also been using the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device during that time. Acid reflux seems to go hand in hand with the condition I had but have Donna

From: jean2019@chartermi.net

I had sleep apnea diagnosed from a sleep lab and was placed on nasal CPAP about 1 year before I was introduced to Nikken. I also snored like a train! I have had chronic neck problems (including cervical fusions) for 20 years. I woke up all those years with a chronic headache and would take Excedrin upon rising. After 2 months on the regular Nikken pillow, I realized I was no longer waking up with a headache every day. Then, 6 months into using the sleep system, including the pillow, my nasal CPAP machine broke while on a trip. The other 2 ladies I traveled with had to go through my bedroom to use the bathroom and reported they NEVER heard an apnea episode and that the snoring was very gentle on the occasions they heard it. I spent 2 months after that trip sleeping in a room net to my parents and they checked my breathing during the night and in the morning (I slept in). They NEVER heard the

apnea and occasional gentle snoring. I've been off the CPAP now for 7months and wouldn't leave home without my pillow.

I have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and though the SLEEP SYSTEM helped, especially wearing extra large MENS LONGJOHN SHIRT, I have not dreamed for a long time, not getting deep enough into sleep UNTIL I used the PalmMag all night long. WOW!  And some of the dreams were REALLY good! I also use it while driving, putting it on the car seat between my knees to keep them from tightening up (keep credit cards away - I am on my third Shell card).

From: vze32qsb@verizon.net

I suffered a sleep disorder (stop breathing 12 -14 events per night) that causes me to wake without bringing me to a consciousness level, but out of the deeper sleep (most restful) levels. I remember the sleep specialist telling me she wanted to take my watch off my wrist the previous night during the study, but could not as it may have caused me another event by waking me. This watch which was one of those electronic types that beeped so precisely on the hour and it (the noise) was causing my Q-wave to bounce for minutes after this innocent beep!!! beep!!! I could not imagine what snoring was doing to my sleep or my former wife's sleep. I do not use the medical device (C-PAP unit) since I'm using the NIKKEN sleep system. Four weeks to the results of waking feeling rested and

without the alarm clock. I had previously slept through and showed up at work late while using the C-PAP!!! In those 4 weeks while using the system, I was waking up at 6:24 A.M. every day I would look over and see this same time. The alarm was set for 6:30 A.M.  In that first few days in Feb. I got out of bed for a bathroom break (increased liver and bladder function I suspect) only to hear a strange noise coming from the bedroom (it was the middle of the night for all I knew at the time being February in New England, the clock on the night stand faces towards the bathroom direction.) It was the clock radio alarm. I am in this Nikken business to help others like me who could not believe something like a magnet could change how my health level would be effected positively. I can

tell you I have changed my OPINION, in a big way!!!

  The cost of the sleep studies (2, 1 to diagnose me and 1 to balance the C-PAP) $1,200.00 each and the C-PAP $900.00 and various attachments face mask and hose. In the end it did not work. I most likely would be looking at another sleep study. More $$, no Medical guarantees here either, just more of my time and money. The sleep system cost me less than a (1) sleep study forget the CPAP.

That was the cheap way out as surgery would have been much more. Surgery are you nuts... I don't want any scalpels in my throat and nose... or Micro-wave energy sources either... thanks very much! 

I have returned to skiing, due to the product use. I am no slouch on the slopes I can assure you. I had purchased a time share at the base of Loon Mountain 4 years ago. I started using these products 3 years ago and started skiing 2 3/4 years ago after 28 years away from it!!! I was very reluctant to go but I was harassed into going by my Aunt Nancy and her boy friend Brooks Bennett. I skied 3 days in succession, I would not have gone a second day but the third was on my Credit Card for all 3 of us, as I was so excited about this experience that I had been denied for so long due to a bad back and neck injury in high school football. WHAT week did I purchase for the Time Share??? Week 29, July!!! Had I been a skier I would have purchased week 5 or 6 in February. I am going on vacation today, yes, Pollard Brook at Loon Mt. Lincoln, NH. Week 29!!!

 I will say that I was so skeptical about these products at first, but now I'm learning what I don't know... I don't know. I am learning what a wonderful world I live in and hope this, may I never know what I'm preventing for myself or for others. I want to thank everyone at Nikken and my Sponsor's Bob Wheeler and Patti Quinn for this all natural non-invasive approach to my health returned in so many many ways.  I will be a NIKKEN "Wellness Consultant", until I am pushing up daisy's!

My boyfriend had sleep apnea and would average 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night for years before we met. He woke himself up every night and could not go back to sleep. Since we have been sleeping on the sleep system and he uses the hard pillow he sleeps all the way though the night with no problems. All of his friends see a difference in him also. It makes a difference when your body is resting and you wake up rested and refresh. If he changes pillows I see him start to snore and when he goes back to the Nikken pillow he stops. When he is laying on his back he sleeps better.

My husband was "continually tired". He could fall asleep driving a car, visiting, standing up or sitting down. We had 3 sleep studies done on him to find out that he had Sleep Apnea and Narcolopsy (day-time). The sleep system helped immediately and the Kenko Seat has kept him awake while driving. My daughter was here, from out-of-state, and said how she noticed he could stay awake and visit now. It's been over 5 years now, and there have been no flare-ups. If you would like to speak to him, write us at our e-mail address & we'll give you our home phone number.   ----------------------------------------------------------------

I have, or had, sleep apnea. For years I slept with the mask on, connected to the air machine and in recent years, to an oxygen machine. I started drinking the water with wonderful results in general health. The next step was the optimizer, that made me feel even better, then the sleep system which has turned my life completely around. I have the mattress, the comforter and the pillows. Having read information on the results of this on sleep apnea, right here, on my own I stopped using the machines (my it is nice, not having to haul those around with me, when I travel, wherever I go).  I talked to my Dr. about it because I no longer snore or stop breathing at night... he would not comment on the products or the results even though he sure listened when I told him about it. This was a personal decision and one I did not make lightly. I do not recommend it to others, I tell them all about it then they make their own decisions but it would be too much of a coincidence if it weren't the sleep system that is making the difference. My fibromyalgia is almost non-existent too so you can see why I am so enthused.

We helped a couple of men with sleep apnea by loaning the complete sleep system. It consisted of the pad, comforter and the kenko pillow. We also put the one gentleman on the PiMag water. The results were amazing.

I was introduced to Nikken by my daughter. She put a pair of Magsteps in my shoes & told me to wear them. In one day, lower back & leg issues that I had from an auto accident in 1956 disappeared. I was so excited I ordered $5000 of product. Five years prior to that experience, I was diagnosed with what the Dr. said was the most severe case of sleep apnea he had seen in his 7 years of working with sleeping disorders.  I had been sleeping on an elevated bed with a C/pap machine adjusted to its highest performance. I had to purchase the pad, because of the elevated bed. I strapped the pad to the bed. Within a month, I would awake to find my sleep mask on the floor. I asked the Dr. if I

could be tested again in the sleep clinic with my travel pad, hard pillow & sleep comforter. He agreed only, if I had an apnea attack, they would wake me and put on the Mask. They awoke me at the normal time (5:30 am). They said I had 3 very slight attacks between 4:10 am & 4:25 am. Prior to Nikken I was averaging 136 an hour. Today I sleep on the Nikken Mattress, hard pillow, dream comforter, sands C/pap machine. This is only 2 personal Nikken Coincidences (smile) out of many.

My husband had surgery for sleep apnea, which included surgery for the deviated septum and well as removal of the uvula (the thing that is in the middle of your throat when you look down your throat) and they cleaned out all his sinuses. We forced fluids as soon as he could tolerate them (within hours of surgery), and he had the dream pillow, a travel pad on his recliner, and we sleep on the dream sleep system. As soon as the danger of bleeding was past he wore the eye mask while he was resting. His recovery was next to miraculous. He was eating a regular but soft meal  the day after surgery, did not take a single pain pill and slept all night. Others in our town who had the same surgery said they hurt so much they "wanted to kill" their doctor.

Prior to joining Nikken my husband went through a Sleep Apnea Clinic and was recommended to use a C-PAP unit which he refused.  His snoring reduced as much as 95% with the sleep system. We have had phenomenal results with the comforter when having the flu;  the socks keep me warm. Our older daughter, Carrie, suffers terribly with allergies living in Charleston SC. The Air Power Wellness unit allows her to sleep better and wake without drainage and sneezing. Due to a knee with no cartilage (and being advised that the next step is a total knee replacement) I personally couldn’t get along without the Joint, FIR wraps and CM cream. Recently I have found relief in using the PalmMag and KenkoWave. Living in a Wellness Home I feel that my family and I have a healthier lifestyle

and that I look, feel and act younger than my 62 years.

Hope for those suffering from Neuroma challenges.

Neuroma: pinched nerve, nerve tumor, or swollen nerves are some common terms for a rather

painful condition. A neuroma is usually situated between the third and fourth toes. They are

characterized by a sharp, lancinating type pain, usually when the patient is wearing shoes. The

patient feels that they may need to remove their shoe and rub their foot for relief. The reason for

this patient activity is that the nerve between the toes is pinched by constricting shoe gear. When

the pain becomes more frequent and lasts over a longer period of time, the nerve becomes

enlarged.

From: sunshine2u@home.com

I have a lady in my tap dance class who has foot Neuroma. It would really cause problems, especially with dancing. She would have to stop and sit out after about an hour.  After about 2 months on the Magsteps, I gave her a pair of the men's dress socks to try. That seemed to make the difference!! Within a couple weeks she was saying that it was amazing, and that basically, it didn't hurt anymore. The FIR in the socks seemed to speed up the reaction. She can feel the Neuroma with her fingers, a lump in the bottom of her foot, but it is not hurting, and she wears the insoles and sox all the time around the house. The MagSteps don’t fit in all her shoes. I have asked her to monitor the "lump" and tell me if there are any changes. I am hoping that it may actually "go away", but that will take some time. In the meantime, she told another lady in the dance class, who is also having good results with the same two products. Hope this helps.

For best relief, use magnetic insoles during the day. At night, sleep in the far-infrared socks with a super mini on top of the toes. For faster relief, spin the magnets on the top of the foot using a quick massaging motion. Since there may also be some inflammation involved, take the bio-directed joint as well. Hope this helps.

On January 27, 2011, John St. John came to our home to discuss a renovation project. During the conversation, he told us about Nikken products, particularly magnets. John did not know that I had had severe foot problems for 10 years--two unsuccessful surgeries on each foot for several neuromas, followed by cortisone shots, acupuncture, physical therapy, ointments of every kind, various kinds of gel soles, visits to neurologists that proved unsuccessful--they only prescribed powerful drugs that had severe side effects for me, etc., etc. My pain had become unbearable at nighttime for several years. My next appointment was to be with a pain management doctor. So when John mentioned magnets for various problems, I told him about my foot problems. I was ready to try anything even if I believed that nothing could be done to help my foot pain. And I did go into this adventure with great trepidation and skepticism! I wore the magnetic insoles for about two weeks, when suddenly I realized that my foot pain was getting much better. I can go to sleep at nighttime and sleep through the night without terrible shooting pains in my feet and toes. This is profound for me to state, because I was so doubtful and weary. The magnet insoles have improved my quality of life and for that I thank you so much, John St. John. I do not believe that Don calling to get your recommendation for someone to do some renovation in our home was an accident. We thought you were only building those big magnificent homes that your are so famous for all over Houston and beyond. Indeed, God does work in mysterious ways....... In addition, we have bought two Air Power5 Pro filter machines, which have improved our sleep tremendously at night, even during our large home renovation being done at this time. We also have other Nikken products(water filter system) to be installed in our home as the work progresses. I can only report what happened to me after so many futile attempts to find relief from neuroma foot pain. John, your honesty, integrity and reputation preceded you and that is why I gave the magnetic insoles a try. I am so thankful that I did. Thank you John!

Hope for those suffering from depression-- a natural solution with no medications

Depression Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)

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

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

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

My son was diagnosed with Bipolar. Our products worked so well in helping him with his body working more optimally and sleeping better. It helped him to start concentrating on what his body needed for health and not on the specific problem. The meds our son was given did not help him at all and after concentrating on health, he has been off any meds for 2 1/2 years and is a delightful, bright young man of 19.

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

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

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

My daughter is bipolar noticed immediate improvement when she began sleeping on the mattress pad. She says it makes her feel much calmer and in control. I know that it was the final answer we were searching for after months of medication and therapy alone had not done the trick. She is still on medication, but that alone had not been enough to "normalize" her. She was about 70% there, and now with Nikken, she is 100%.

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

A great article to read over the web with Dr. Batmanghelidj who wrote “Your Bodies Many Cries for Water”: http://watercure2.com/sam_biser.htm . Dr. Batmanghelidj (Batman-gel-lij) received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University.  Batmanghelidj: When we are sedentary, the biological action of tryptophan is blocked by an excess of the branch-chain amino acids.  The result is depression in your brain. Why? You need serotonin that is manufactured from tryptophan - to prevent depression from taking over the body physiology. That is why drinking plenty of water can cure depression - even better than drugs. Finally, if a person refuses to add the small amount of salt as I suggested earlier – for every eight glasses - then the water may not produce full benefits. Your body requires salt to retain the water. Otherwise, the water will pass through too quickly. One woman I heard of drank plenty of water and still had high blood pressure, because she refused to take any salt. She was too frightened from all the misinformation she heard. Unfortunately, the health movement is fanatical against salt, which can make it impossible to cure dehydration. I saw one woman with asthma who was drinking water, but who did not get a lasting cure until she started taking some salt.

WOMAN FINDS RELIEF FROM DEPRESSION

Here is a typed copy of a hand written letter we received from a reader in Syracuse, New York:  I read your interview with Dr. Batmanghelidj a couple of weeks ago and it made a profound impression on me. I immediately started drinking more water. I also completely gave up beverages containing caffeine. Although I have only been on this program for a couple of weeks, I feel like a new person!  I wanted to tell you about some results that I got because the ones that impressed me the most, and for which I am most thankful, are not physical results, per se, they are emotional, psychological and mental. I did get some very good physical results. I lost weight, all my allergy symptoms disappeared, and I enjoyed a tremendous upsurge in energy - but I was much more grateful for (and amazed by) a release from a lifelong battle with depression, and other emotional and psychological problems. I had gotten to the point where my nerves were just shot. I was overly sensitive and overreacted to everything. The slightest setback became a major setback. I couldn't cope with the pressures of even ordinary everyday living, much less more stressful situations. I developed a very short fuse. I would get irritated and angry at the slightest rovocation and then I would get depressed and hate myself, and really just want to die. I was ruining my closest relationships and I contemplated suicide many times. I began to believe that I might have a mental illness. I saw many different psychiatrists and social workers, but my experiences never really changed. I was progressively more volatile with drastic mood swings and I lived under a big dark cloud. But then, when I began to follow Dr. Batmanghelidj's guidelines, I felt the big dark cloud lift. It was as if the sun finally came out. I felt calmer and more peaceful, more centered and grounded, and just plain happier. My nerves no longer jumped out of control at every little thing and I began to feel a profound sense of joy and relief. I no longer felt like something was drastically wrong with me. I began to be able to hold my head up and face the world instead of tending toward a sort of paranoid agoraphobia.  Thank you so much for publishing that fascinating interview. It made more sense than anything else I've ever read on health (and I've read a lot), and it has helped me more than anything else I have ever tried (and I've tried a lot). Also, a glass of water is free - my last psychiatrist was $65.00 for 45 minutes!

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

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

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

                                         LETTER FROM HEAVEN

                                           Arrived at 2:40 p.m., 12/19/2011

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.

But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there are no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.

Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;

That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;

Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;

Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got Me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free.

Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to Me.

Your faithful Dog,

HarveyJ

A stroke is a kind of brain injury that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is

suddenly interrupted or a vessel bursts. How a stroke affects a person depends on the part of the

brain in which the injury occurs. After a stroke, a person may have a weakness on one side of the

body or trouble with moving, talking or thinking.

I witnessed a profound product experience with the elastomag wrist wrap. I had met a man somewhat by chance and did not realize he had any physical challenges at the time since he was leaning against a wall in a restaurant and we spoke less than two minutes. A couple of months later, he came back to our area for a meeting with his business and he attended one of our Wellness Previews. After the WP, I realized this man had suffered a stoke 4 ½ years before and had 20% use of his right leg and virtually no use of his right hand. I attended his meeting the next morning out of courtesy and curiosity and we continued to talk about Nikken's technologies. We met for breakfast on Sunday morning and I asked him to put the Elastomag Wrist Wrap on his right hand while we were eating breakfast. In less than 5 minutes, this 59 year old man starting to become emotional and moisture was forming in his eyes. I asked if he was all right and he told me his hand was tingling and he had not felt anything in that hand in over 4 years. We finished breakfast and I loaned him the wrap, magsteps, and a magboy and he went back to his hotel to pack for the return trip to his home state. In less than an hour, he called and was literally crying at this point. Again, I asked if something was wrong. He said I would not believe what he was doing at that moment because it was hard for him to believe it and he was doing it. He stated he was making a fist with the hand that had not functioned in over 4 years. He went on to improve over the next few weeks and months and stayed in touch with the changes in his life. He progressed to riding a bicycle up to 2 miles a day, played golf, was able to go without the leg brace, and do exercises his rehab specialist told him he would never do. It all started with, why don't you put this on while we eat? No, recovery wasn't instant but there was enough for him to stay committed to the products. He now has the sleep system and the products he needs.

I know our products help everything but I never expect "quick fixes" nor look for immediate results for the body is complex and only the body can predict the time frame given the right/enough products to be in a position to do what the body was designed to do and that is to fix itself. Some results are seen rather quickly and others take months or even a year to reach full potential. My job is to share what I know, offer encouragement and patience.

I spoke with a gentleman who had suffered a stroke and he had constant pain in his left hand. I put a bracelet on his hand and we continued to talk. About 15 minutes later, he couldn’t believe it. His hand had quit hurting, after hurting for years. He also found that the far-infrared helped his elbow to be more flexible and the magsteps gave him a lot more balance.

I am a RN and have worked with my aunt over the summer and will return again in November. The results are tremendous and every stroke patient should be given the gift of magnets and FIR. First the person must not be a new stroke with active bleeding in the brain. Wait until all brain swelling and bleeding has been subsided. Consult with the primary physician before doing any work with magnets.  Use the magboys on the effected side and around the head severely times a day. Spin the magboys without touching the head, you do not have to touch the head with the magboys to get the magnetic field to the brain. The more exposure the better. Use a sleep system and Pillow, necklace, bracelet on the effected side, and magsteps. Talk to the person and tell them when you are touching them to retrain the brain to the area you are touching. What you are doing is retraining the brain to accept the nerve impulses that you are sending from the area you are working on.  My Aunt's Dr. told the family to come and say our good-byes as the whole right side of the brain was totally damaged with the hemorrhage and she could not survive. I had reflex movement of the muscles on the effected side within hours of working with her.   By the second day she regained consciousness and was talking and recognizing everyone. By the third day she was able to swallow 4 oz of thickened cranberry juice. I had to return to Florida and left the magboys with my cousin to continue working with my Aunt.  When I called two days later I asked how she was doing and my cousin said not very well she had lost consciousness again. When I asked if she was still using the magboys she said "NO". I convinced her to start working with the magboys again. It took her three days but my Aunt started talking and recognizing everyone again. She has been moved to nursing home now and I plan on returning again for 2 weeks of intensive magnetic work and training my cousin on how to continue the therapy. Hope this helps, let me know if I can help any further or if this information helps you.

A great article to read over the web is with Dr. Batmanghelidj who wrote the book “Your Bodies Many Cries for Water”. The web site is: http://watercure2.com/sam_biser.htm. Here are some important excerpts from an interview with him:

Batmanghelidj:  I'll give you an example from a case I had in the past. It involved a 40-year old woman. She had stroke symptoms all down her left side. Her arms and legs and neck muscles were partially paralyzed. In cases like this, you have to remember that water is a primary nutrient, salt is a secondary nutrient and diet is a third. I told her to immediately drink three whole glasses of water. Within an hour, she had drunk a whole jug - which is 10 glasses of water. Later I gave her some orange juice for some potassium. By the end of the day, I gave her some salt. Her total intake of water on that first day was probably twenty-five glasses. She did the same on the next day. I initially flooded her with water to remove the histamine and prostaglandin effect, which was causing a brain induced spasm of her arterial system. Thank God, the water was able to eliminate all symptoms so that when the doctor examined her, he could not find any evidence of a stroke. To make sure there was no other underlying condition, she was taken to Georgetown hospital, where she was X-rayed, CAT-scanned, and eventually a cerebral angiogram was performed. Nothing was discovered. All this cost her $13,000 in three days - to prove that water cured her - and to make sure that there wasn't any other problem. She was back to normal; she could walk. However, what saved her from a lifetime of complications was adequate water intake at a crucial moment. A person who fears a stroke coming on should drink water instantly as soon as he or she feels weakness on one side.   In many health crises, water intake should be immediately and drastically increased. You need the water to increase the water inside the cells. You need the salt to increase the water in the spaces surrounding the cells. And you need the proteins to regulate everything else. In different people, the primary symptoms of dehydration may be something else. It is just a different face on the same problem.

From: Kenko2000@aol.com

In August of 1994 I was diagnosed as having diabetes, which explained my long-standing dusky blue and cold lower legs and feet. In December of 1994 I had a stroke that left me with complete right side immobility. I now refer to that event as my ‘stroke of good luck’. In November of 1995 my major challenges involved stamina, energy and balance; I had regained use of about 80% of my right side. I was introduced to the Nikken’s insoles, MagSteps, and Sleep System, KenkoPad and Kenko  Pillow, during that month.  My legs and feet became pink and warm almost immediately after inserting the magnetic insoles. And there was (and is) a noticeable improvement in my balance while walking or standing. If I remove the MagSteps and do not get into bed my legs and feet begin to turn dusky blue and cold again. In November of 1995 I was sleeping 12-14 hours for a 5-hour day. Typical of stroke survivors when the ‘gas tank’ went empty I sat down: mentally, emotionally and physically. Within a month of using MagSteps and Sleep System, I was and am sleeping 7-9 hours a night for a 16-hour day. For stroke survivors I recommend:

- Daytime: MagSteps, Kenko Flex, Kenko Seat.

- Nighttime: KenkoPad, Pillow, Quilt, Sleep Mask and Restful Night.

Regarding Stroke survivors I am willing, eager and honored to do 3-ways with the survivor and/or spouse-significant other.

I had a small stroke three years ago and what I found what helped me regain my balance was the FIR belt with the large flex. I moved it to my hip when needed for pain and I also used the necklace. Mine was not a major stroke but I had some loss of movement and had to use a cane for about three weeks.

From: debm@altelco.net

I would like to share two stories about people I know who have been helped with our products after surviving a stroke. Both are parents of friends of mine, friends who joined me in Nikken.

One lady had a very sever stroke; her daughter did not expect to bring her mother home from the hospital. But we immediately got some products on her; I believe it was the original KenkoSeat under her, and using the Magboy on every extremity and near her head whenever possible. To make a long story short, the mother did come home, and while never fully recovered, did get well enough to even ride a tandem bike with her husband.

The second man would never admit what the products did for him, but I think the story is told by saying what happened about two years after his stroke, when he and his wife went to another state for the summer and did NOT take their KenkoPad with them. (Simply did not ask us to help them move it from their home bed to their fifth-wheel bed!) During that summer he regressed and even had an episode where we feared for his life. When he got back to his home (with KenkoPad on bed) he fully recovered again. I have known many similar results, and would ALWAYS encourage everyone to get magnetic products on anyone with a stroke. On theentire sleep system is best, but do what you can.

I used the elastomag headband with 4 minis (cut the seam and insert inside) in it around the head for day and night wear. Put product on the affected limbs and magsteps in the shoes/ slippers for balance. The sleep system started helping immediately because the body responded to rest and restoration. She started getting her energy back. I suggested not only night time use but periods of rest on it during the day too. The PiMag water really helped with her energy level within a very short period of a few minutes. Then she started to drink the Optimized water and truly sparkled. This helps even with those who have had strokes years ago. I am sure the nutritionals

we have would be very effective especially the Jade GreenZymes.

About three years ago when the magnetic headband first came out, I tried it on someone in my downline who had a stroke 2½ years previously. She tried it for three days and called me to see that she was able to hear out of her left ear, able to use her left hand after that short time. Of course the sooner you get the products on someone after a stroke you will more likely get better results.

I just spent the President's Day weekend with my in-laws and wanted to share a wonderful testimonial with you. My father-in-law suffered a stroke this past Thanksgiving and although it was a mild one, it has had quite an affect on his left arm and hand. He is able to move it, but with difficulty, so he doesn't use it very much. He has physical therapy twice a week and is supposed to continue exercising his arm and hand at home. I love him dearly, but he doesn't do as he should and as a result, his left hand had become somewhat swollen.  When we arrived at my in-law's home on Saturday, I was shocked and extremely concerned to discover not only had his hand swelled tremendously, but that it had a blue appearance and was cold to the touch, as well. I am NOT exaggerating when I share that his left hand was twice the size of his right hand. The reason for my concern is that he is diabetic. I had not looked at his feet, but my mother-in-law told me his feet were blue looking and cold, as well.  I had just recently received my Biaxial Body Energizer and had taken it, along with the Kenkowave, with me. I put my father-in-law on the Body Energizer and had him use it while I used the Kenkowave on his hand. I would guess that he sat with his feet on the Body Energizer for an hour - maybe a little longer. He told me he liked the way it made his feet feel. I used the Kenkowave on his hand for about 45 minutes, just moving it from one area to another, between his wrist and his fingers. I couldn't really tell any difference in his hand when I completed the use of the Kenkowave - BUT - after about an hour later I noticed the swelling in his hand was reduced. The blue appearance was not as prominent, either, and there was some warmth to his hand, as well. My mother-in-law was amazed and even my skeptical husband had to agree it looked better.  The following day, his hand was not nearly as swollen, and I repeated the procedure - feet on the Body Energizer for just over an hour and about 45 minutes on his hand with the Kenkowave. When I checked on his hand about an hour and a half later - the swelling had reduced even more, the blue appearance was gone and it had a rosy appearance to it. It felt nice and warm to the touch, as well. I can't say which produced the greater benefit - the Body Energizer or the Kenkowave - but the result was certainly fantastic!!!!!

I had great success recently with a 94 year old woman who had a stroke. She was already wearing the insoles or it probably would have been worse. We put her on the magnetic mattress and pillow (pillow most important for the magnets near the brain). We had tried the PalmMag on her but she wouldn't use it, yet when the Body Energizer came out she uses that daily. Her therapists were amazed at her progress.  Several years ago I used the magnetic headband on someone who had a stroke 2 1/2 years previously. In three days her hearing returned in her left ear and she was able to use her left hand. She had used the insoles previous to this.

From: thecasters@comcast.net

If someone has a stroke, have them wear the Nikken Elastomag headband or take a cheap stretchy headband from Wal-Mart and cut a small hole in the seam. Insert 4 Nikken Mini magnets and place them in a 4 point area. Place around the head with a magnet in the front on the forehead and one opposite that with the other 2 minis - one on either side of the head. Wear day and night if they are able to. The woman I worked with did this and had very good results plus she said she looked athletic too. Also a PowerMag at the top of the head either when they lays down (all night if possible) or when someone holds it there several times a day would be very beneficial.
