Hope for those challenged with Autism in their family



  Nikken Products Benefit Individuals with Autism

While the exact cause of Autism is unknown, current research indicates that it is a complex neurobiological disorder impacted by environmental injury.  Today, 1 in 150 individuals are diagnosed with Autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.

The rise in Autism along with other chronic illnesses, immune and autoimmune diseases is a warning to us all. As the level of environmental insults continues to rise, more children & adults – and more life on earth will experience harm.

Fortunately, there are a number of therapeutic approaches that are very beneficial to those with Autism.  In addition, there are simple steps we can take to provide a healthier environment in our homes for our families with the Nikken Wellness Home.

Angela’s Story

Angela is my 4 year old daughter, a pretty girl born with a lot of difficulties.  She was born with respiratory problems, she had trouble walking, trouble eating and chronic digestive problems (*autistic symptoms).  Non Verbal…not even sounds,  Didn’t smile or  Didn’t laugh (*depressed, I guess) Sleeping problems  (no sleep)  Banged her head against wall or furniture. No eye contact.  Sleep was hard to come by for my wife. 

We were both really sad ourselves because of our daughter’s conditions. No energy, No hope. No solutions were offered, just bad new from doctors saying it would only get worse as she grew up.  We were at wits end!

We were HOPING and PRAYING to get help… Then one day I bumped into Nikken and my life changed instantly forever.  When I got home with the products my daughter was asleep and I placed the magnetic pad on the bed and placed Angela on it.  WOW Angela slept way better (breathing was quiet) It was a miracle.  How could this be and why didn’t I know about this sooner….I was excited and upset at the same time. I felt blessed but could not understand why I had to wait 4 years to find these great products. Angela spoke 5 days later (*we both were hysterical).  She is now super happy, runs, jumps, talks, hugs, sing, and daddy does too.   We are in love with life again.   I see a better future for my daughter and my family.  Thanks to these wonderful products.  I am forever grateful 
I wanted to share this with YOU & with everybody and anybody.

Cade’s Story

I and my husband James have been fighting an uphill battle with our son, Cade, who was diagnosed with autism in 2006 at three years old.  With modern conventional therapies working to reach into his mind to communicate and help him progress, was slow at best.  Cade was diagnosed as a high-functioning autistic child but was still only at the level of a one year old.  Our family is entirely health conscious, my husband and I are vegans (strict vegetarians), as are our children.  We tried to modify Cade's diet by eliminating gluten products, which could affect his mental status. 

Those of you who are familiar with gluten foods, this is not a big step from veganism.  But this did not prove altogether advantageous; there was no discernable difference in Cade's progression.

Almost after a year of conventional medicine therapies, we were introduced to an alternative . . . Nikken.  People who have children with issues will understand that a parent will go to almost any length to help their child.  We weren't opposed to the idea, but were also not willing to plunge headstrong into something we knew nothing about.  My husband has been a nurse for 10 years, and worked as a paramedic 7 years prior to that.  He has worked in virtually every possible patient care setting that nursing has to offer.  He often tells me of the tragedies he has seen and the miracles he has witnessed, but to have a parent's hopes for their child crushed by a diagnosis like autism is very devastating.  So we did some research and study and learned that Nikken products have improved lives.

Cade’s Story - continued

Magnetic therapies, combined with an environment conducive to being healthy, have had positive results.  Medical doctors cannot explain this other than to chalk it up as "coincidence".  But is it "coincidence" that when you treat your body the way it needs to be treated in order for it to be healthy and give it proper nutrition, water, air, exercise, and energy to function at its full potential, that it actually does function better?  If a withering plant is in dry soil and you water it, does it continue to wither?  Of course not, it begins to flourish and blossom.

Cade's progress had been very slow up until we introduced Nikken into his life.  His sleep had always been restless and he was extremely irritable when he woke up.  His ability to focus and concentrate was a struggle, and he would have sudden outbursts which we learned to cope with by distracting him with other things.  It was, by far, a difficult task. 

To give you a minute idea of our challenges with Cade, here is an excerpt of his speech evaluation.  The clinician wrote: "Cade simply was unable to participate in structured activities or assessments though a considerable amount of time was spent trying to help calm him down, settle in and sit in a chair to participate.  Clinician allowed him to sit with mom, stand by the table, and/or have a stuffed toy with him during the assessments.  This held no interest for Cade and the assessments were discontinued due to his running around the room and his general inability to participate.  The Functional Communication Profile was completed via live interview with mom."  These events are vivid in my memory and his behavior in that office was no different than his actions at home.  But after he had been sleeping on a Nikken sleep system (magnetic travel pad, pillow, and comforter) the first week, we began to see drastic changes.  He slept soundly, no thrashing about, he woke up easily and wasn't irritable.  His focus and concentration improved and his outbursts were much, much less severe.  It was, as some would put it (and we're among them), a miracle.

"Coincidence" one might say . . . perhaps.  So, we decided to let Cade sleep on a conventional bed for a night just to see what would happen, just to see if his change was "coincidence".  In the morning everything was difficult; it took him a while to wake up and he was irritable again.  Throughout the day he, and we, struggled with his attention and focus.  It was like he was his old self.  Well, that convinced us, this child will continue to have Nikken products surrounding him.  Not only has it proven itself effective for him, but it is risk free, there are zero side effects!

Now, Cade up to date is doing remarkably well.  This little boy who struggled to maintain the level of a one year old can now complete a workbook designed for children from ages .  He continues to make strides everyday and he is a jewel to every eye that beholds him.

We hope this decision to promote Nikken will help many other families who are struggling with similar issues.  There are many other companies who carry magnetic products, air systems, water treatment systems and nutritional supplements, but Nikken is the only company with everything wrapped up in one easy package, not to mention the numerous testimonies given with tremendous positive results from their use.  And becoming an actual member in the business can help bring about financial strength and freedom

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and may you be blessed as we are.

James’ Story
My son, James, was diagnosed with autism before the age of 3.  I started attending conferences all over North America, getting newsletters from all over the world and became trained in teaching modalities that showed us a good percentage of progress.  James is now 11.
“Over the years, we made progress, but James still had a sleep disorder and a rash on his arms and legs that we couldn't do anything about.  I tried everything. For the sleep, I tried massage, Reiki, herbal remedies (melatonin), and even painted his room blue for a calming effect. Of course, the doctors were prescribing medicines throughout the years.
“Yet every night, this child would get up and roam all over the house, turning on TVs with loud volume, turning on lights, and going into his brothers’ rooms and wake them up.  Needless to say I was struggling with lack of sleep myself.  It disrupted the entire household. 
“I decided to try a Nikken mattress pad on his bed.  It still amazes me. For the FIRST TIME IN EIGHT YEARS, I WOKE MY SON UP!  That was almost two years ago, and he continues to sleep every night, medicine-free!  His body is now doing what it is supposed to be, and he is now making more progress through the day because of this good sleep he is getting.  He is also now COMPLETELY medicine-free through the school day, as well! 
“He has had other positive effects from Nikken products, and if I didn't experience this myself, I would have never believed it.  The best part was how non-invasive all of these products are.  Autism is like a puzzle, and you are always seeking the right pieces that fit. Well, I definitely found some of the biggest pieces to help my son.  It didn't cure him, but his quality of life is so much better.  And isn't that ultimately what we all desire?”
Carla Piccarreto


Myles’ Story

My husband and I have two sons, our youngest son Myles is 5 years old and was diagnosed with Autism just after his 2nd Birthday.  Myles was non-verbal at the time, had little to no eye contact, and did not answer to his name. He also had a very high level of activity all the time, and very sporadic sleep patterns.

Since the time of his diagnosis we have been heavily immersed in all of the traditional therapies including behavioral therapy, speech and occupational therapy which have helped him to make great strides.

However, Myles’ sleep continued to be a very difficult piece of the puzzle.  It would take him anywhere from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours to fall asleep and then he would consistently wake up 1-3 times each night.  This had a very negative impact on our family as my husband or I would have to sit in his room with him until he fell asleep in order to avoid distractions and other behavior issues.

Myles’ Story – continued

In August 2006, I was introduced to Nikken.  We bought our wellness home at that time and added a 2nd sleep system for Myles.  We saw a positive change in his sleep from the very beginning.  He now takes a maximum of 15 minutes to fall asleep!  This is an incredible relief to us!  Myles also wears insoles in his shoes, two sports bracelets linked as a necklace around his neck and has an air wellness traveler in his bedroom. He chooses to drink a great deal more water than ever before now that we drink Pi-water.  We’ve noticed that he is drawn to the Biaxial Body Energizer.  We call it the “relaxing machine” which translates to “laxing sheen” according to Myles.

In addition to the positive change with his sleep, his language has progressed a great deal as well.  We believe that this has to do with the layering of the products provided by our Nikken Wellness Home. 

As parents of children with Autism we know that toxins in our environment negatively impact our children.  We cannot underestimate the value of clean air and water in our homes for the benefit of our children.

Hope for those suffering from Tourette's

Tourette syndrome is characterized by motor and vocal tics, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and attention deficit. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition with incomplete penetrance and variable expression.
Tourette's Testimonials
These testimonials are  from people like you and me. We make NO MEDICAL CLAIMS -- and we do not claim to heal or cure)

FROM: magconcepts@mindspring.com
I have a 12-year-old son with Tourette's Syndrome also. He has been using many of Nikken's technologies for the past year. Although many have helped and we are very optimistic about the future, nothing has made his tic's totally disappear. I am sending his personal testimonial below.

BRANYON GUTHRIE TOURETTE'S SYNDROME TESTIMONIAL
I am 12 years old. I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome when I was 7 years old. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder that makes me have "tic's". "Tic's are involuntary body movements or noises. Before my mom learned about Nikken, I had a lot of "tic's". I blinked my eyes a lot, shook my head, cleared my throat constantly, made sharp squealing noises and had severe muscle spasms in my legs. My friends at school didn't understand me. It was very hard for me to explain why I could not stop ticking.  I did not like to go to bed at night because I could never fall asleep. My mom would give me Tylenol PM to help me go to sleep. I would be so sleepy in the morning that I would sleep through most of my classes at school. I had a hard time concentrating in school, especially when I took tests. I love all of my Nikken products. My favorite is the sleep system. It helps me go to sleep a lot faster. I
wake up much easier and have a lot more energy. I sleep in the long johns, socks, and eye mask, or elastomag headband. I think that my silver chain really helps my sinus problems. I also wear magstrides, and the brown belt during the day. My leg cramps are much better. I really like the PiMag water. My mom tells me to use it every time I complain. If I have a hurt finger, blister, sunburn or anything she says put PiMag water on it. I take the water bottle to school every day. I take several of the vitamins, the multivitamin, liver support, digestion, immunity, antioxidant, and mental clarity. I think that my vocal "tic's"are better and I understand my schoolwork easier because of the vitamins that I take. The first month that my mom was in Nikken they asked me to tell my story at an Expo in Atlanta. I am so happy that my mom joined Nikken. When I grow up I want to be a Disney animator and a Nikken wellness consultant like my mom. I want to help people just like her.

I have a successful experience with a man with Tourettes considering that he only used the insoles and 2 super mini on his shoulders.  He swims a lot to lose some weight - in the process he hurt his shoulders. In just a few days, he was so calm and relaxed that I seldom noticed his involuntary ticks - he bobs his head up and sticks his tongue out. Before the Nikken products, he will not look at people because he was so self conscious of his ticks. But after the Nikken products, he did not tick, he smiled more and talked to people.  This man was an assistant cook in the company I worked for.  In fact his personality changed so much that his friend the maintenance man came to me and said: What did you do to my friend? He's so different.
I told the Tourette man that if he invest in the sleep system - he will be a totally different person. He agreed and will try to save for the sleep system. He added that if he forgets to use the insoles, his Tourette is very bad -- so he makes sure that he uses the insoles and 2 super minis without fail.

I have helped a little 10 year old boy. He has Tourettes and ADHD. He was having a significant amount of tics and jerks, but no vocal stuff, yet. When his mom would put him to bed, it would take him about 2 hours to get to sleep, and he was allover the bed. He would be at the bottom, or in the crack by the wall, or transverse across, and moving quite a bit. He was a restless sleeper, and his covers would be all pulled out and destroyed. We got him on magsteps and a sleep system with the soft pillow. The first night, his mom went in to check on him 10 min after she put him to bed, and he was sound asleep! That was unheard of. In the morning, she had to go in and wake him up (also unusual). When she did, he was straight and centered in the bed, the same way she left him the night before,
and the covers were not mess up at all. Every succeeding day was the same. He told her that he felt good, and his temperament was better, he was more pleasant. The teachers in school said that during the day, he wasn't having many tics. I think that was a great success. He did have the whole sleep system. I explained the disease to her, and she knows what to watch for, and she hasn't noticed sany exacerbation, in fact the symptoms have lessened. My next thing was going to be a seat. I already told her that if the symptoms started to resume, to get him on a seat cushion. I do that with the ADHD kids, too. Sometimes, kids don't want to be different, by using the seat. I tell the Moms to ell the kids that they are special, and no one else gets to use a comfortable seat cushion, and that it will help them concentrate and do better in school. If the kids are really small, they can tell the kids that the seat cushion is magic and will help them do better. That does 2 things. It is a positive based outcome, and if they think they will do better, they usually do. It also makes them think they are special. Sometimes 'normal' kids then want cushions. The
results are usually noticeable. With Tourettes, if the person is old enough, I would put a chain around the neck, and have it fairly short. Even though the problem doesn't originate in the throat, I have to feel that if the muscles are relaxed, it would have to help.

My name is Matt Bacon. I am 13 years old. I have Tourette Syndrome. I used to tic a lot. I salivated on my shirt and sleeves all the time. My 3rd grade teacher had me wear short sleeves in the winter! Even my mom didn’t like to hug me without a clean shirt. I made gross noises and my Dad and sister didn’t want me at the dinner table any more. I wet the bed often – so I couldn’t have sleepovers. I slept very poorly. I fell asleep in school. When my mom would come home from work late at night or 3 am, she would often find me awake or sleeping lightly. She used candles, music, Benadryl to try to help me. Teachers and my parents scolded me because I couldn’t stay awake or get work done. I took a lot of medications that gave me other problems like – headaches / stomachaches / too tired to play outside. The doctor didn’t believe my mom that I had a sleep problem. My mom and I didn’t know what to do.
My mom’s friend, Gerry Agnew, told her about how magnets helped her sleep. My mom laughed and thought it was weird. I like science so I thought it was interesting. Gerry came to our house near Christmas in 1999 to tell us about Nikken. I loved the bumpy insoles right away. I loved the massage. I really loved the hard pillow, from the first moment!!  After 3 days on the sleep system, I was sleeping great! All my big brothers and sisters were home for Xmas. It was a fun and crazy time. I love it when they are home! One night about 9 pm, my mom was looking for me and she asked Jeremie where I was. “He’s sleeping”, was his reply. “Are you sick?”, she asked me. “Nope, just sleeping great!”, I said. My mom thought it was the power of suggestion. I knew it was the sleep system.
But, my mom didn’t get it yet. She took me off the sleep system and I started having all those problems again. She did that 3 times as she investigated. It was on the 3rd trial that we realized I had stopped waking up with yellow sheets when I slept on the magnets. Once when I left my pillow at a friend’s house, I didn’t sleep on it for 3 days. Boy, did I tic!! So then, we started adding more products and my mom cut back my medications. I wear insoles, a belt, a magbags shirt with 3 super mini’s in it and a chain. I sleep well and am having a much better life. I hated the feeling of taking Ritalin, Adderall and Tenex. My life is so much better. And yes, now I can do sleepovers and scout campouts! Thank you Nikken and Gerry Agnew for being patient with my mom.

Sleep Apnia Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)

(These testimonials are not endorsed by Nikken. They are from people like you and me. We make NO MEDICAL CLAIMS -- and we do not claim to heal or cure)

   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.

Please contact me at  john@johnrstjohn.com for more information.

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.   ----------------------------------------------------------------

From: mamawfone@hotmail.com
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.

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. Prior to this even taking the three dosages she was still unstable, now she's on top of the world. We have had wonderful results with other adults as well with Bipolar depression.

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

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

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

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

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

My daughter is bipolar noticed immediate improvement when she began sleeping on the mattress pad. She says it makes her feel much calmer and in control. I know that it was the final answer we were searching for after months of medication and therapy alone had not done the trick. She is still on medication, but that alone had not been enough to "normalize" her. She was about 70% there, and now with Nikken, she is 100%. There is also a interesting web page you can talking about how Magnet therapy shows promise for severe Depression: http://gem.lightlink.com/vitamin/althealth/cgi/frameset3.cgi?url=http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9803/20/magnets.depression/index.ht ml&named=CNN&rec=2141

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

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

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

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

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

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

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