Hope for those suffering from challenges with cholesterol issues

Cholesterol Testimonials (updated 5-10-10)

I was told that I was a walking time bomb a few years ago. My cholesterol was extremely high along with my triglicerides and blood pressure. I was diagnosed with high Uric Acid levels. I was also diagnosed with an Oesophagus disease. Along with that problem was the fact that I had a torn rotor cuff that needed Surgery one week after I discovered these wonderful products. To make a long story short, I recently had a complete Physical and was told that my blood pressure was 117/74, that of a young athlete. My cholesterol and triglicerides were better than normal along with no signs of Uric Acid problems anymore. I was told my Oesophagus problem was incurable and that I must get an Upper Endoscopy each year to watch out for signs of Big C. This January 2000 was the third year I had it done. The Doctor was so impressed with my improvement each year over each year's photographs of my Oesophagus that he said he will not have to see me for two years till my next exam. I have the pictures and it is so amazing how each years improvement is clearly seen. I wonder if the fact that I sleep on and wear Magnets, use Far Infrared Products and take Nutritionals daily has anything to do with any of this? Probably just Placebo, Don't you think!

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 it on High Cholesterol: Batmanghelidj: Cholesterol is deposited in tissues because of dehydration. The cells put out cholesterol to close themselves off – so they do not lose any more water.  Biser: So it is like desert plants that put off waxy substances to retain water inside their leaves?  Batmanghelidj: Exactly. The high cholesterol is an adaptation to a low water intake. I had one patient, Minister Wahby, who lowered  his cholesterol by almost 100 points by increasing his water intake. Before, he had tried without much success to reduce his cholesterol. He was a diplomat from Washington who had to entertain socially quite often. Last year, he was shocked to find that his cholesterol had shot up to 279. In two months of following my advice, and with very little "observance" of the old rules, which were making his life miserable, his cholesterol went down to 203 for the first time in nine years. It is important to drink the water and to walk for a half hour to an hour a day. Results like this are not a fluke - they are typical.

Nikken has another great set of products that help the body with cholesterol metabolism: the water technologies ... especially the shower system!! Even the medical establishment is realizing that chlorine is implicated in triglyceride & cholesterol metabolic disturbances in addition to its other toxic effects & we're learning that we can absorb more chlorine through our lungs in a quick shower than by soaking in a swimming pool for a weekend. Check out the website: www.watercure.com/Topics2.htm
We need to protect ourselves from chlorine at all cost. For instance from SAINAW HOSPITAL - Dr. J.M. Price MD: "Cancer risks among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine." I'm very grateful I have access to a shower system and water systems that not only takes out the chlorine, but also takes out all the other contaminants and gives us "living water" which makes me feel much safer as well as feeling much better.

For someone taking Colestid, medication can be affected up to 4-6 hours after taking it. You have to take other medications 1 hour prior to the Colestid. I would not want to take the nutritionals after taking Colestid, because they might loose all the good effects of the nutritionals to the Colestid. Check with the doctor to see if they can divide the medication to once or twice a day instead of three times daily. This can be taken once daily (up to 16 grams per day) if no problems with side effects. If you need to get a hold of me for any more information, I work 9am to 6pm Monday through Thursday this next week (phone # 307-532-8484) or you can try my home number 307-532-2767.

My cholesterol has always been high, in the 340 range. As a vegetarian, with minimal dairy consumption I blamed genetics and was not as worried as the doctors that tried to put me on cholesterol lowering drugs. My HDL was also well above 'normal'.  About 6 months ago I stopped drinking coffee and drank pretty much only water (I had read 'The Bodies Many Cries for Water' by Batman, and wanted to see what I could achieve in my general wellness and athletic ability). Three months ago I had a medical exam, and discovered that my level had dropped to 323 with no apparent changes in my diet. Shortly thereafter I re read the book and took in the chapter on Cholesterol (the body produces cholesterol to act as a barrier so that water in dehydrated bodies is channeled to essential functions first) and wondered if the change in my level was more than coincidence. I told the doctor that I would continue on the water regimen and then have a retest.
I JUST HAD IT RECHECKED, EARLIER THAN I INTENDED AND IT IS NOW DOWN TO 295! AGAIN WITH NO
CHANGES IN MY DIET OR EXERCISE OTHER THAN DRINKING 2/3 LITRES OF WATER A DAY.

Info on the Jade Greenzymes that’s helpful…
"Barley grass leaf extract dramatically inhibits the growth of human prostatic cancer cells grown in tissue culture. ...It may provide a new nutritional approach to the treatment of prostate cancer. " ---Dr. Allan L. Goldstein, MD, George Washington Univ. Medical Center Nutritional Value: A concentrated source of nearly three dozen vitamins and minerals barley grass is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B2, folic acid, and B12; calcium; iron; potassium; and chlorophyll. Unlike most plants, barley grass provides all nine essential amino acids (those which you body can't produce). Barley grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential ones -that is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself. The "green" is from chlorophyll. Barley grass has one of the highest, natural, rich chlorophyll contents of all the green vegetables. In fact, Barley Grass has 66 times more chlorophyll than spinach. Barley also contains glucan, a fiber also found in oat bran and reported to reduce cholesterol levels. The root contains the alkaloid hordenine which stimulates peripheral blood circulation and has been used as a bronchodilator for bronchitis. Barley bran, like wheat bran may be effective in protecting against the risk of cancer.  One of the most common health problems in North America today is poor digestion. There are several reasons for poor digestion, but the two biggest reasons are the inability of your body to produce enough enzymes, and the lack of digestive enzymes in the food that you eat. Digestive enzymes are organic protein molecules that break down food particles such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats;  and convert them into smaller absorbable nutrients that your body can use to build cells, tissues, and organs. Digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down the food that you eat so that your food can be more easily absorbed and digested by your small intestine. You obtain most of your digestive enzymes from the food that you eat, and your body also produces enzymes of its own. Unfortunately, because of soil depletion, herbicide sprays, etc., we do not obtain anywhere near the number of enzymes that we need. You should make very sure that you get enough enzymes, because a lack of digestive enzymes will cause a number of things to occur in your body, and here are some of the more common. You may develop abdominal bloating, abdominal cramps, constipation, crohn's disease, colitis, diarrhea, eczema, heartburn, indigestion, IBD, psoriasis, skin rashes, and many other conditions that can cause you a lot of problems.

I have been on 10 mg of Lipitor for about 4 years with no affects. Along with all the Nikken nutritionals and Ciaga my cholesterol went from 207 to 146. My cardiologist is feeling good about that and so am I.

Ruth and I just returned from our annual physicals. We were anxious to see what if any results we had from the last time on our blood work a year ago. We are delighted to report.... YES... IMPROVEMENT!  I've had high Cholesterol for years. I did not want to take drugs for it (unless necessary) and nothing natural (such as Red Yeast Rice) I've ever tried has ever made one speck of difference in my annual blood tests. This time, I can report that something DID!  Ruth's total Cholesterol went from 241 down to 216, a drop of 25. My total Cholesterol went from 285 down to 231, a drop of 54.  My Risk Ratio (Total Cholesterol divided by HDL) has always been under the average of 5.0 but our doctor and I wanted to see the  Total drop anyway. We've been using virtually all of the Nikken nutritional products since they came out. The ONLY difference during the past few months has been the addition of CIAGA.  Since it became available, Ruth and I each have been taking two ounces of CIAGA per day, one in the morning and one before bed.  (We heard one of the Nikken corporate speakers say that while the suggested dose is one ounce per day, seniors may want two ounces per day, so that's what we've been doing.)  I'd heard and read that others had seen reduction of their Cholesterol due to CIAGA (they thought) but I wanted to wait and see WHAT OURS DID before I said anything. Now I feel confident to say, if you are concerned about your Cholesterol, you may want to add CIAGA to your daily routine (best on Autoship) and see if it helps you too. It may be helping us other ways too. WHY do I say that? Because I feel so FANTASTIC! I recently told Ruth that even with my heavy CardioStride shoes on... I feel so good, I feel like RUNNING like a young colt on a brisk spring morning! (And being in our 70's, I'm no longer a "young colt." Ha.) Leon and Ruth Bates

Wow! What good news I have to share with you. I have been struggling with high cholesterol of 210 or higher for many years. Just received my latest blood work report. The magic number was 144. I owe a big thank you to Ron and Donna for introducing us to Nikken and their fine roducts. Nikken's whole food supplements and vitamins, magnetics, reduced caffeine, no carbonated beverages, healthier diet and lots of PiMag water has made me a healthier person. Now if I can have a good golf game tonight this will be a perfect day.

For years, in my adult life, cholesterol levels as well as Triglycerides were out of balance. Countless visits to Nutrition consultants and various diets could not balance the results and statins were started pour in me on late 90's in order to combat the LDL (the "Bad" Cholesterol). Doing more sport did help a bit but not significant to release me from the statins (and I already read about their liver impact). In mid 2006 I joined Nikken and from the start I was consuming the Jade GreenZymes. Looking at my blood tests results (and without claiming any medical claim), one can see what balance means. No more fluctuations, no more outrages numbers. All numbers below are registered on my on-line files of my health services provider (Maccabi) and there are no previous records.  The recommended levels to keep each factor (LDL, Cholesterol & Triglycerides) may vary from country to another, yet the overall impact of the pure JGZ (which is the only food supplement I'm consuming) speaks for itself.

Hope for those suffering with Joint issues.

Most people I come in contact with are suffering from some kind of Joint related issues. Perhaps an old sports injury or just life grinding down on them. Check out the following to see if you might find hope here. I would be happy to share with you how this information is helping me to have a productive life after arthritis.

Joint 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)

From: CharSongs@aol.com
I had a very painful time with arthritis in my left sacroiliac area. My rheumotolygist gave me very little hope. He sent me on my way with 24 hour pain medication. At 61 I saw years of increasing pain and lessoned activity. Earlier that year I had had breast cancer and felt the hopelessness of the arthritis diagnosis was far worse than cancer that was cured quite handily!
A friend introduced me to Nikken products January, 2000. After five months I was completely discomfort free and take no medications except our wonderful nutritional products. I of course sleep on the sleep system and wake up with NO discomfort at all. I wear magsteps, a necklace and, most importantly, a Kenko back wrap with the Flex magnet and a Max to up the gauss strength over my worst area of discomfort. I used the heat pack for many months in the morning, but no longer need it. The Joint complex really made a difference for me as well. I love to not hurt!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jomark123@aol.com
Bio Directed Joint is a product that is truly wonderful! Primarily with Cetyl Myristoleate, (Myristolic Acid with a bond of a long chain [Cetyl] alcohol) I have received, for myself and witnessed in others, some amazing results. I personally have a blood sugar problem with multiple joint challenges, especially feet. My joints all creak and groan and my requirement to walk is large. I power walk 4 miles nearly every day and my feet, ankles and hips would then talk to me all that day and the morning after. After only three days, of using the Joint complex, my relief was beyond my expectations. My joints felt as if they were gliding -- as if someone injected them with WD-40. All of the clicking stopped and everything seemed to work in unison. Even the muscles, bursa and the extra tight ligaments were soothed. This gives hope to those people, especially women, who are prone to fatigue problems of long duration and that terrible intractable muscle discomfort. I believe that you can get them out of bed and productive with this product. The uniqueness of this as opposed to a Glucosamine/Chondroiten product is that once you reach 30 GMs of intake, you can either back off to a very low maintenance dose or eliminate its use altogether. It takes an average of one to two months use to eliminate accomplish that from an average case. Symptom reduction may occur in a few minutes to a few days. Mine isappeared in three days! I had used Glucosamine for years and it had helped but never did the whole trick like this!!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and started with the magnetics and had good results & then I started the Joint formula. I finished two full bottles and did not really think it was doing anything for me. Ironically, I was not having any symptoms either. I had a very good summer. I commented to my husband that it was too good to be true. That was until August rolled around. Then I started hurting again. Then I realized it was NO coincidence why I felt so great in June and July.

The JOINT and the LIVER, have sure helped this 63 year old who now is feeling more like 50... my noisy knees are almost as smooth as silk... and my podiatrist tells me my worn down ankles are improving - now off a cane, can even ski again here in beautiful Tahoe! Dr. Cochran, who created the Joint and Liver, stressed that the Joint compound MUST be taken on AN EMPTY STOMACH!! When taken with food, the compound breaks down and becomes ineffective. He recommended taking 3 joint and 3 liver as soon as you wake in the morning or 3 hours after your last meal before you go to bed. Since the joint compound is fat soluble do not take a Key to Sun
within 3 hours of taking a joint compound. The joint compound is non-toxic and you can take 10-12 per day at the beginning to jump start the accumulation of this substance in your body. Then, as you feel relief you can decrease down to the 3 per day. Dr. Cochran also says that people who are taking the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin may be surprised to find that out that less that 10% of the Chondroitin is absorbed by the body. When the original medical studies were performed the Chondroitin was injected, but is not very bio-available when taken orally. That's one of the reasons why the Joint Compound contains the combination of Glucosamine, Cetyl Myristoleate and Methyl Sulfonylmethane and not Chondroitin. Dr. Cochran used chondroitin sulfate in his practice in the early 80's, with very little success. All forms of arthritis, including osteo and rheumatoid, as well as lupus and others, are considered a type of auto-immune disease. Your body is attacking your own cells as though they were foreign bodies. As a result there is a large amount of oxidation waste floating around contributing to the inflammation. The Bio-directed Antioxidant and Liver are a must for anyone who has a need for the Bio-directed Joint. Also at the World Convention, Nikken released the results of double-blind studies using the Bio-Directed Joint compound with Cetyl Myristoleate. To quote one doctor involved in the study: "This product has demonstrated remarkable results in the area of joint health in a double blind Phase III clinical study". 92 people who had osteo-arthritis for at least 6 years took the Bio-Directed Joint. By the end of two months, 96% of them had relief. That percentage is phenomenal! Dr. Charles Cochran says: "In all my years of practice I have never seen any product that comes even close in terms of its comprehensive effectiveness and safety. I am ecstatic with the results that have been achieved. I myself, perhaps even the world, has yet to see a product achieve such profound results and is so safe at the same time. Did you know that if a drug achieves 23% of effectiveness it's allowed to go out on the market?"
Dr. Eric Friedland, M.D. former professor at Harvard Medical School says: "The myriad of benefits this product seems to provide could classify it as a true phenomena in medicine. There are literally millions of people suffering from arthritis, and all of you are being commended for providing them, or being able to provide them with a product such as this, that's effective, dramatically effective, and also has science behind it to support it."

I never believed in miracles until November of 1994 when I was given my life back after many years of suffering with the constant muscle discomfort throughout my whole body, overwhelming fatigue and no energy. My condition eventually worsened to the point where I could no longer work. Having been a career person and a high achiever all my life, this change was very devastating for me. I did reluctantly learn to accept and deal with the tremendous changes that had to be made in my daily living routine. Luckily I had a very supportive husband who was also willing to alter his lifestyle to suit my condition. In late 1994 my husband, Colin, sat next to Carolyn Bond, an Independent Nikken Distributor, on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver. Their conversation led to the Nikken products that had helped so many people to experience more energy, sleep more soundly and generally feel better. When Colin mentioned my condition, Carolyn suggested we try the products to see if they would help. We had invested so much time and money in an attempt to improve my condition including seeing numerous doctors, massage and physiotherapists, chiropractics, ingesting many medications, and receiving three sets of steroid injections in my back, etc. to no avail, but we were open to trying something new. As Carolyn was from Toronto she arranged for Bruce Black, a local distributor, to loan us product to try at no obligation. After several nights of using the sleep system at night and the magsteps and seat during the day, I started noticing a gradual improvement that I was certain had to be "just a coincidence", but what really impressed me was that I was sleeping through the night, which I had not done in years. My discomfort, that was especially bad in the morning, had vanished almost totally, my energy level was improving daily, I was beginning to feel alive again. By the 9th day I knew I had truly experienced a miracle and I could no longer
contain my elation. Bruce Black picked up his product on the 9th day and it took us 3 days to get our own. Interestingly enough I went downhill very rapidly during that brief period, and improved just as quickly after receiving our own product. In addition I have totally eliminated my intake of medications and have now added some of the other smaller products during the day like the necklace and the flex that help tremendously with increasing energy and lessening discomfort. Nobody will ever convince me that miracles don't happen. It’s 6 years later and I still have this condition but my symptoms are in check. Carolyn, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, will always be my guardian angel. Colin is thrilled to have his wife back and I am delighted to be able to partner with him in our Nikken distributorship with its mission of helping others. We're proud to be associated with such a wonderful company and feel it is our obligation to share with others the wonderful Nikken opportunity and their truly unique products that have changed our lives forever.

I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 1991. My MD said there was no cure. I ultimately went to a chiropractor who put me on vitamin supplements which helped some but I was fired from my job because I was just too tired to fulfill my responsibilities. I later ended up with a homeopathic M.D. and did get my life back for the most part except I still needed at least 9 hours of sleep a night and could not overexert in any way physically or emotionally. I had trouble concentrating. I basically just made it through a calm day. Then Nikken came on the scene. After a few weeks on the mattress, I wasn't aching all over and I had energy. Now after 2 years on the mattress, 1 year on all the Nikken nutritionals and 1 week on PiMag, I've never felt or looked so good and I'm 56 years old! I usually get 7 to 7 1/2 hours a sleep a night but if I get way less, I can still function for a really long day and not have to make up for it later. It's great. I can plan things to do now and know that I'll have the energy on that day to do it. WOW! Are these products worth it.... I have a life now…..how much is that worth?

I slept on a Nikken mattress pad for 2 weeks; it was loaned to me by my physical therapist for trial. I suffer from daily migraines, muscle-contraction headaches, fatigue, and generalized chronic body pain. The first night that I slept on the mattress, I awoke several times in horrendous pain (worse than usual). This kept recurring throughout the night, to the point where I almost took the pad off my bed. But as I "examined" the type of pain I was experiencing, I realized that I was having the sensation of pain being sucked out of my body. The pain was awful, but when I sensed that it was a "good" pain, I decided to stay with it and slept the rest of the night. The next night, I experienced the same sensation, but only for a very brief interval. For the next 2 weeks while I used the pad on trial, I slept the most soundly I have ever slept, and awoke with NO pain in the morning. I also went 2 weeks without a migraine (unprecedented). I am convinced that the pain I experienced that first night was one of detox, as "stuff" was being pulled out of my body. I take several prescriptions meds and I am sure that part of my "pain syndrome" is due to a toxic body system. When I explained the sensation I had to my dr. she knew exactly what I was talking about, so I assume that it is a common reaction. I am almost grateful that she didn't warn me ahead of time, otherwise I might have thought that I "imagined" the entire experience.

I suffered from CFIDS beginning in 1987, though not severe. Over several years, I recovered most of my earlier good health. However, the two lingering symptoms, up until 18 months ago, were lack of a good night's sleep (waking up feeling like I hadn't slept), and reduced strength/energy. Using the sleep system, I immediately began getting more restful sleep; within a few weeks, I could stay up later and do more with the same amount of sleep, and I wake up feeling like I've slept well. Within two weeks of using the Magsteps, I realized I was able to climb up several long flights of stairs without the aching that I previously experienced in my
knees and legs; so I went from using elevators back to using stairs. I was also able to take longer and faster walks. Since starting onthe PiMag water system about 14 months ago, I have been healthier than ever before. I fought off a sinus infection, without a doctor, that I had when we first got the system; never happened before and I've had many in the past - just one of many benefits I've experienced. I've gone 18 months without having to see a doctor or having a serious illness; that has never happened before that I can remember in the last 40 years (I'm now 59). I also use many of the nutritional products.

I was diagnosed with CFS in '95 and at the time I was introduced to Nikken I was spending 20 hours a day in bed because I hurt too much and didn't have enough energy to get out of bed. I had done research that said good nutrition might help, and I got back on nutritionals at that time and it helped a little bit. However, it wasn't until I got on the Nikken magnetics that I saw tremendous recovery. At the time the magnetics were all we had and an earlier version of the nutritionals. I was actually on total SS disability for 7 years, and Nikken has given me my life back. I feel better than I have in 20+ years and feel better every year!

Thoughts on Aging

Many of you might wonder what thoughts on aging have to do with Wellness or Vitality for Life. The answer is simple. A happy and healthy mind will operate a healthier body. Enjoy these thoughts and share them with any and all. In the five pillars of health...mind, body, family, society, and finances....you will note that mind is first...today we focus on your mind:)


Thoughts on Aging

As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.



I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

A neighbor of mine was pregnant and somewhere in her second trimester when she developed a severe problem in her lower leg veins. They were extremely swollen and painful. Her MD wanted her to wear surgical stockinettes but she was unenthused with this option as it was summertime. I suggested magsteps. The aching stopped in the 1st day or so and the swelling receded within another day or 2. Her MD thought they did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product for such a condition. Beware of the first trimester...but then this problem usually does not set in until the weight comes on later in the pregnancy as I understand it.   A neighbor of mine purchased a sleep system for her back and her husband's insomnia. They were more than happy with the benefits they were receiving already when she told me of an entirely unexpected bonus. She has some sort of thyroid problem. One of her
symptoms has been for years that her body temp has always been below normal as recorded in her medical charts. During a routine visit to the doctor, her temp was inexplicably 98.6 and has stayed there ever since. She can attribute this to no other factor other than the sleep system. Her condition did not disappear (yet?) but she is happy with what has happened thus far.

Harry had veins that were the size of your index finger wrapping around both legs like grape vines. When I first approached him and his wife about magnets for health, they politely waited till had left their home and then laughed out loud at the thought! He purchased a pair of MagSteps that night and didn't notice anything for about two weeks. He first noticed his legs felt better in the mornings (he no longer had to crawl for a while after getting out of bed because his legs wouldn't function). Then he began to notice a big change after about two months. We were carrying in his Sleep System and I had to say "Harry - don't take this wrong but your legs look great!" He said "Yea! You notice I'm wearing shorts again!!" All but a small patch of the V.V. on the left side of one lag were completely gone! Had I known how the MagSteps were going to work on his legs I would have insisted on a before and after picture!
The difference is truly remarkable!

My sister suffered from Varicose Veins in her legs during her second pregnancy. Her gynecologist told her to buy special tights to give her legs support. However, she decided to try the magsteps first. After three days of wearing them, the protruding veins disappeared and have not returned since!

My wife had enlarged, engorged veins that were the source of considerable discomfort that bothered her sleep patterns before we joined Nikken in July 94. Wearing the magsteps began the process of improvement, sleeping on magnetic sleep system seemed to spur the improvement on and the addition of the Kenkotherm Comforter also provided and additional dimension of improvement.  She also covered her entire legs with Kenkotherm Knee wraps using a bigger one to cover the thigh area; middle sized one on the knee and a smaller one on the calf of the leg and an ankle wrap on the ankle. All of this while being careful not to block circulation at any point. (Constricting circulation could lead to clot formation) Also she positioned 3 eye masks with strings removed under the
Kenkotherm wraps at different points on her legs that hurt particularly bad. After 2 or 3 years she was able to forgo use of the eye mask on her legs on a nightly basis, but continues to wrap her entire legs with Kenkotherm Knee wraps. She prefers the black warps over the white ones and she occasionally uses them on long car trips and on International flights. At this point, Grace considers her vein problem to be about 50% improved after 6 years of using these wonderful products. Many in our group, with less serious vein problems, report much higher levels of improvement.

I have had enlarged veins in one leg just below the calf and had been wearing an elastic stocking to restrain them somewhat and also keep them from itching. A couple months ago the itching became acute and having already tried placing magnetics over the vein without success I slipped a Far Infrared knee wrap over the area. Within 2 days the itching stopped. After a week I took the elastic stocking off and have since only used the Far Infrared wrap which is not very tight but I have noticed the vein protrusion is becoming less.

My daughter had MANY tiny spider-web varicose veins that would hurt often. She did a lot of walking. She bought the Magsteps,  wears them faithfully, and never has any more problems with those veins. She's worn the Magsteps for nearly 5 years.  Also a downline of ours had blood behind his eye. He had sought help from his Dr. who, of course, shrugged off the use of the Nikken Eye Mask or anything to do with magnets AFTER the problem disappeared. Well, recently this gentleman decided to give the Eye Mask a try and would you believe - his eyes feel better already and he can now read without his glasses? Suppose these products work?

My father is 77 years old. In January of this year (2002), he could only walk 1/8th of a mile. My sister-in-law (my upline) and I visited him in January. We all went to see his cardiologist who had just performed the sixth angioplasty on him which was from the knees down. (He has also had a quintuple bi-pass surgery a few years ago). The doctor informed him that of his two arteries below the knee, one was 100% occluded, and the other was 80% occluded - in both legs!!! I advised my father that he should get on all of the Nikken products as soon as possible. He hedged, but his wife jumped on it. We put him on magsteps, socks, magnet strips along his calves with FIR wraps, the knee wraps, the sleep system, PiMag water and JOINT and LIVER. My Father is now walking 3 miles.  His doctor recently told him that he doesn't understand it, but my Father is improving. He added that his bad cholesterol (LDL?) is also down. My Father still won't fully admit that the Nikken products are helping him - but his wife won't let him get off of them. Smart lady - doesn't want to spend HER life pushing someone else's wheelchair.

I wear the men's sports socks almost everyday, and I can tell where they end! The area they cover is almost free of varicose veins, and the area above isn't a pretty sight! Wish Nikken would come out with panty hose made out of the FIR. Asked them once, but need to do it again.

Varicose veins are a byproduct of stagnant Liver chi (energy). Therefore supporting the liver with the Liver and using magnetic products over the liver would assist. The magnetic products would help with the pain. It is also important to keep the elimination system cleansing out toxic waste, so the addition of the Digestion is also important. Also, the local health food stores carry Horsechestnut cream (my favorite brand is Planetary Formulations). Rubbing this into the areas twice a day has really helped several of my clients.

My Cousin had awful looking ropes for veins in his legs. He found tremendous relief from the aching that would wake him at night. At first he wrapped the mini comforter around his leg, but then graduated to the full comforter. He was amazed the very first night to be able to sleep without being awakened by the throbbing.

We have a female consultant that had this issue before she started to use the magsteps. After using the magsteps for three month not only did her tired feet and ankles get better, a side benefit was her varicose veins disappeared.

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.

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.

Fibromyalgia Testimonials from those who found a solution to improve this chronic challenge

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. "Tender points" refers to tenderness that occurs in precise, localized areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. People with this syndrome may also
experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms.

From: ccanderson@att.net
I began my journey back to health by using the back flex during the day for my bad back. Was at the chiropractor every week to stay in shape...never been back since I used the flex. For 8 years, I had been under severe stress and suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. The only solution the doctors had for me after trying massage, acupuncture, diet, and ultrasound was a mind altering drug that they gave to epileptics to stop seizures. The smallest dose was so powerful I had to cut it in fourths. This is not something I wanted to take for the rest of my life. The sleep system: mattress pad and quilt changed my life after about 2-3 weeks... and using the Kenkoseat for sitting during the day (at home and in the car). I was off the medication inside 1 week. The restless leg syndrome was gone. Found myself squatting and weeding the garden after 2 weeks. What a shock! It was then that I realized the fibromyalgia was gone. Both do come back however, if I am off the sleep system for a night or two. Noticed that when I lent my personal system to a friend. I am not sure if it’s the flex, or that with the sleep system, but the scoliosis in my back has straightened out. My doc has suggested that it has relaxed the muscles in my back that were pulling the spine out of alignment. Don't know! But I’m grateful. I keep the magsteps in my shoes as well. I also have added the necklace to quell the crunches in my neck.  I had no preconceived notion of what might happen with these products. I had not heard of anyone with my problems being helped. I am witness to my own unanticipated results, so I cannot believe the products are simply a placebo.

I am currently 58 yrs. old. I had fibro about 5 yrs. when I was sent to a therapist with someone who specialized in fibro. It was great for a couple of hours but did not last. I was given elivel 100 milligrams at night to help me sleep. I was on meds for arthritis as well. At that time I also had my new knee and was told I needed a new hip. I was very skeptical because I tried everything I could find even went to a pain clinic.  Alas the sleep system the magsteps and the magboy were my saviors. In one week I knew something was better and I got up feeling more energy, still had the soreness and still woke up some at night. I was off the meds in about another week. Previously I was up at least 3-4 times a night, now maybe twice. It took a while longer when I did not get up until maybe 5 0r 6 a.m. for the bathroom. I still sometimes wake up but can turn over and go back to sleep. I have now been on the system for 2 yrs. so I cannot remember exactly how long before I realized I was not sore to the touch anymore. I sleep less and no longer wonder if I slept, I wake up alert and it does not take me two hours to get going. That only took a few months for me to notice. I traveled one time without my pad and never again, it was not 2 days and I felt like I regressed so much. Once I was back on the system I felt alive again. I never go without the magsteps and I carry the magboy in my purse because of all the other joint problems I use that for 5 min. and I can be comfortable. Nikken gave me my life back and I will always be grateful even though I doubted I was willing to try anything. I hope your friend will continue to try these products they work. I bought mine and never  regretted it. I forgot to tell you the medication for arthritis is also no longer I only use shark cartilage and my products. So far so good, oh yes
I still have not had a new hip 3 yrs later.

I was taking "Paxil" (antidepressant) for fibro. I got immediate results from being on the sleep system. I stopped taking the medication
immediately after I felt better. I would say that I am about 80% better. I don't have that unbearable discomfort anymore. When I do feel stressed, I use the wraps and the mini magnets. The magsteps have been a tremendous help. I also have the necklace, and have had almost no discomfort in my neck. It used to drive me crazy, I cried a lot with my neck pain. But have really found the products to help a great deal.

I started seeing results for my fibromyalgia around 4-6 weeks and was able to get off the amitryptilene that I using to help me sleep. I have not used any medications in 13 mos. since. I used the sleep system -- mattress, comforter and pillow. I am able to get to sleep without medication usually in 15-30 min. I still awaken during the night, but I am able to go right back to sleep 90% of the time. I sleep less hours and have more energy. I still do not have the
energy that normal people (without FM) do. I use the back flex when I need it and the necklace for neck and shoulders.

Before I knew about Nikken products, I hurt severely all over. I could not sit for more than thirty minutes at the time. Although I carried a back pillow and used it everywhere I went, my back still hurt all over. I suffered with two to three migraine headaches a week. I also had frequent sinus headaches. I could not sleep more than three hours a night because I hurt too much. Much of the time, I could not stand to be touched. I even put a cardboard box at the end of my bed, under the top sheet and put my feet inside so the sheet would not touch my feet.  My feet hurt so severely on the top and the bottom that I could hardly walk, even with the expensive inserts the doctor had prescribed. It was torture just to stand up.  I was taking twenty-two prescription drugs daily and allergy shots twice weekly. I was taking toridol shots as frequently as I could talk the doctor into allowing them [generally once a week]. I had spinal block treatments and used a TENS unit. Nothing seemed to help for more than a few hours.    In November 1997, a friend suggested that I try the Nikken sleep system. He said that he did not know if it would help, but that he would lend me one to try for a week. I slept on the Nikken magnetic pad for a week. After a few days, my back was hurting less and I could sleep more. We purchased a king-size Nikken mattress and the comforter. [I had been sleeping with only the sheet as cover because I was so hot,  even when my husband was sleeping under as many as four blankets. My husband was on three heart medications, one of which was a blood thinner.] I also use magsteps, a magnetic sleep mask, the magnetic necklace, magboys and the Nikken nutritional products.  Although I could tell a difference in only a few nights, it took many weeks using the products before my whole back was better. In fact, it actually hurt worse at first, but now I sleep all night. I no longer use a cardboard box for my feet, and I have even misplaced my back pillow.  I can even sit for the approximately five hours it takes to travel to Georgia from our home in Mississippi. My feet no longer bother me. I no longer take allergy shots and seldom have sinus headaches. I have not had a migraine headache in over a year. I only take four prescription
drugs each day.

I went off my medication for fibromyalgia after 8 months on sleep system. I saw a difference almost immediately in energy level but didn't believe it for a while. It's subtle differences that are hard to pinpoint. I started realizing I was doing things I usually couldn't do... I wear necklace and back flex all the time – fibromyalgia people need back flex all the time as well as magsteps and minis in problem areas. I just retired 5 years early from job as Nursing Supervisor to go fulltime with Nikken, because of what I've experienced and what I've seen happen to many folks with fibromyalgia and other problems.

How does one thank a company for giving back, and savings ones life? Two years ago, I was given a number to call, by a lady who cared enough about me, to CARE! She wasn't even a distributor, but the mother of one. It took me three weeks, but I did make that call, thank God. On Sept. of '98 I started using the products. I became a distributor in Oct. of '98. I had incontinence, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis,  degenerative disease of the back with several herniated disks causing sever sciatica, messed up feet from several bad operations and arthritis, ongoing tendonitis and bursitis due to labor intensity related to my job (40 to 50 hours a week) and tinnetis (ears). Add to that a stress related  life one would never want to trade with me for, burns, broken toes and Big time all around DISCOMFORTS. I have great humbleness of gratitude to Nikken. Had I not had these products at the exact time I did, I would have lost my job due to disability. My back and sciatica were so intense, my lack of sleep and my leg weakness were to the breaking point. The epidural shots I was getting were to the point of no help, and an operation was looming. Still is for that matter, but I have held it off for two years, with these products. When breast cancer was detected in Aug. of 99, I would NOT have done anything to save my life, as it really held no meaning for me any more. My personal life was a disaster, and I was clinically depressed to the point of actually praying for cancer to take me out!!!!!!!!!!!! We had lost one son at the age of 33 and were about to lose another living with us who had diabetes at the age of 36. (we lost our son Glen this past Aug 15th) He had multiple related problems and no quality of life. Well---enter Nikken! A year later, I was diagnosed with cancer. I now had people who cared, were supportive and encouraging. I also had a new quality of life I had only dreamed to have. I was now almost free of discomfort and able to work like a 20 year old. (I'm 63) I also had a wonderful surgeon I loved and respected. I came thru the operation with all signs of cancer gone. I took radiation for 11 weeks and continued with flying colors.

I have been a police officer in Australia for just over 13 years and during that time I have nearly been killed on numerous occasions. That, coupled with the un-natural high risk, traumatic situations we often find ourselves in, resulted in my being diagnosed and treated, in 1997, for the same traumatic stress related illnesses some war veterans get after battle, or near death encounters. The psych I saw dealt with my problem by prescribing various anti-depressant drugs, each with over twenty unpleasant side effects, which I could literally mark off as they came. When my condition stopped improving the answer was, move to a different drug new to the market, or take more of what I was on. Although some form of medication was necessary in the beginning to help stop the spiral out of control, I ended up taking 1,200 milligrams of a drug called Aurorix, daily, just to function and get up in the morning. It felt like I was floating two feet off the ground. In reality, I felt ‘higher’ than some criminals I had arrested for drug offences, although my drugs were “legal”. In addition to this I had recurring nightmares every night, without fail, to such an extent I was afraid to go to sleep. Chronic insomnia was the diagnosis and again, this was dealt with using sleeping drugs. I tried two strengths, both of which failed to get me to sleep. The third one actually gave me around 3 – 4 hours of non R.E.M. sleep and although that was dream free, I rapidly became totally dependant on those sleeping tablets. I was out of control, continually tired with no energy, angry, confused, and a very unpleasant person to be around. This condition took a huge toll on my marriage, family, and our finances, given the fact that in the beginning of my illness I drank at least one bottle of spirits per day for 91 days, to try and deal with what was happening inside me. The Doctors called it “self medication”. The police service sent me to a further five medical health professionals and each one assessed and treated me the same way, recommending massive doses of prescription drugs. After several years of this, in November of 1999 my wife gave me an ultimatum, come to see a counselor or she was leaving with our daughter. We went and saw a man who worked with his partner, operating an alternative health clinic. I wondered out loud what could he possibly offer me that all the health professionals could not? He had recently returned from North America and showed me a pair of magnetic insoles called Magsteps. He explained they were from a giant Japanese company called Nikken and could possibly help me get more energy in my day.  Given my health situation at that time I was willing to try anything, so with guarded skepticism, I followed his instructions and borrowed a pair. I wore them daily, and after around three weeks, on the first day of January 2000, without telling anyone, I threw away all my medications. Now that on it’s own is not remarkable, because I had done that before, and usually within three or four days my old unpleasant self would return and I’d be right back where I began. What really caught my attention this time was the fact that it didn’t happen!! I waited and waited and nothing. No withdrawals from either drug!! (Earlier, when I changed medications it required at least a week off work to wean me) I was really excited and could hardly contain myself. I began taking them from my shoes and sleeping on them under my lower back or under my head, and after several more weeks, for the first time since I could remember, I slept one whole night, drug free, all by myself, without any nightmares. Over the following weeks the nightmares became less and less frequent, to a point where I was really sleeping. In
March 2000 my wife asked me if I needed another prescription filled, as I should have been getting low. I told her I had stopped taking the drugs and she was amazed when I said it was since January 1st. By using these products I have regained control of myself, my quality of life and that of my family has improved dramatically and when Nikken came to Australian shores in November of 2000 we were compelled to join many thousands of others in sharing these technologies & this opportunity. We now use many products in our daily lives and have achieved a more balanced, relaxed lifestyle. I still have the odd bad day, but our marriage has gone from strength to strength, and I have returned to work in the education and training office, teaching other police. Nikken truly is an amazing alternative with nothing for you to lose, except mabey what’s bothering you! It certainly gave me back my life!! Never be afraid to try something new.

I never believed in miracles until November of 1994 when I was given my life back after many years of suffering with the constant muscle discomfort throughout my whole body, overwhelming fatigue and no energy.
My condition eventually worsened to the point where I could no longer work. Having been a career person and a high achiever all my life, this change was very devastating for me. I did reluctantly learn to accept and deal with the tremendous changes that had to be made in my daily living routine. Luckily I had a very supportive husband who was also willing to alter his lifestyle to suit my condition.  In late 1994 my husband, Colin, sat next to Carolyn Bond, an Independent Nikken Distributor, on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver. Their conversation led to the Nikken products that had helped so many people to experience more energy, sleep more soundly and generally feel better. When Colin mentioned my condition, Carolyn suggested we try the products to see if they would help. We had invested so much time and money in an attempt to improve my condition including seeing numerous doctors, massage and physiotherapists, chiropractics, ingesting many medications, and receiving three sets of steroid injections in my back, etc. to no avail, but we were open to trying something new.  As Carolyn was from Toronto she arranged for Bruce Black, a local distributor, to loan us product to try at no obligation. After several nights of using the sleep system at night and the magsteps and seat during the day, I started noticing a gradual improvement that I was certain had to be "just a coincidence", but what really impressed me was that I was sleeping through the night, which I had not done in years. My discomfort, that was especially bad in the morning, had vanished almost totally, my energy level was improving daily. I was beginning to feel alive again. By the 9th day I knew I had truly experienced a miracle and I could no longer contain my elation.  Bruce Black picked up his product on the 9th day and it took us 3 days to get our own. Interestingly enough I went downhill very rapidly during that brief period, and improved just as quickly after receiving our own product. In addition I have totally eliminated my intake of medications and have now added some of the other smaller products during the day like the necklace and the flex that help tremendously with increasing energy and lessening discomfort.  Nobody will ever convince me that miracles don't happen. It’s 6 years later and I still have this condition but my symptoms are in check.  Carolyn, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, will always be my guardian angel. Colin is thrilled to have his wife back and I am delighted to be able to partner with him in our Nikken distributorship with its mission of helping others. We're proud to be associated with such a wonderful company and feel it is our obligation to share with others the wonderful Nikken opportunity and their truly unique products that have changed our lives forever.

On August 24, 1994 I was in a critical car accident and suffered a severe head injury. Shortly after the accident my problems began: constant, gnawing agony throughout my body (like the worst flu imaginable), poor sleep, fatigue and headaches to the point of nausea. I tried everything to “make me better": cranial-sacral therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, physiotherapy, massage, exercise programs, chiropractic treatments and spinal injections (cortisone combined with 4-5 other drugs injected up through my tailbone and into my spine), etc. While these worked for a period of time, eventually my body would adapt and I would have to adjust my maintenance program. Sometimes, it would get so bad I was forced to visit Emergency to have morphine administered.  In January 2000, I was in a little fender-bender causing my situation to worsen to an unmanageable state. At the age of 24, and the beginning of an already successful, promising career, I went on disability. I retried all the previous therapies and anything new I could get my hands on; and trust me, some of the alternatives were pretty weird. I had no quality of life. Sleep was fitful at best and often non-existent. I had to nap frequently just to get through the day. When I was awake, it was like I was living in a fog, one of the many side effects I experienced from popping 10+ painkillers per day. In May, my family and I took a small road trip to Kelowna. Our activities had to be planned around my daily vomiting, from taking even more pills than normal, in order to get me through the day. Needless to say, it was miserable.  I finally realized that this was my life and drugs were my only alternative. To my horror, my body was beginning to adapt to the Tylenol 4 with Codeine, Flexural, Darvon, Baclofen, Vioxx, Celebrex, Anti-convulsants, and trigger point injections of Xylocaine 2-3 times per week. I was terrified, anything I hadn’t already lost, I thought I was going to lose. It seemed that prescribed Morphine and Neuro-Transmitter blockers were my next alternative. Beyond that, Dr. Kevorkian. I had heard about Nikken and turned it down flat, having tried the insoles previously with no real relief. Thankfully, I went to a meeting with Anne Wilson, an independent Nikken distributor. With much skepticism, I agreed to try the mattress she was willing to lend me. In order to prove that it didn’t work I stopped taking my existing narcotics and didn't start the Morphine. That was in October 2000. I haven't taken any pills since.  The products haven’t cured me and I won’t be returning to work anytime soon , but I can now deal with that because finally, I have some quality of life and it keeps getting better. I just returned from visiting my family in Kelowna, where I was able to do things everyday, just like everyone else - no drugs, no naps, no vomiting. I even went to a movie and felt great afterward. That may not be a big deal to most, but considering it used to take me 5 or so hours to get through a 1.5 hour rented movie ............................ it's a big deal to me.  Products I use daily:
• NIKKEN sleep system (KenkoPad mattress, the KenkoTherm Comforter and KenkoPillow)
• Magsteps insoles
• NIKKEN necklace
• KenkoSeat
• NIKKEN nutritionals

When I first looked into Nikken, I just couldn't wait to get sleep systems under all my friends with fibromyalgia. And, first thing, I had two prospects experience violent reactions. Scared me to death! Subsequently, I learned from a more experienced distributor (who has fibromyalgia herself) that it is better to allow these folks to detox very gradually. Here is her system:
1. Begin by having the person drink PiMag Water and take our Joint & Liver supplements for 10 days to two weeks 2. Then add the comforter and pillow.
3. Finally, add the magnetic mattress pad.
The person who taught me this says she gives her prospects a choice: she tells them that they can start using the whole system immediately and risk going through a rough detox period, or they can approach it slowly, take longer, and have a gentler detox. I have since used this approach and it works very well.

I have (lupus and fibromyalgia) and was desperate to find something to relieve my discomfort, besides being so extremely tired and weak.  I'm not sure which symptoms to relate to which problem, but I do know that together, they are very debilitating. I started on the sleep system in March of 2000, and also the neck wrap, insoles and nutrition. I received almost immediate relief and by the third day I no longer required the strong medication for pain. Today I don't even take aspirin or Tylenol. I'd had kidney failure, liver problems and developed a heart condition before I was introduced to these products. Now I consider myself quite healthy. The products give me such complete relief, I can  enjoy the good things in life once more.

You are looking at a picture of my husband and myself. As you can see, I was in a wheelchair and not a very happy person. My body was too weak from all the nights without sleep due to 7 disabilities I have. My body hurt everywhere. I couldn't walk on my own. I couldn't lift a gallon of milk or hold a pen in my fingers. They were bent and ached. I have had 12 major surgeries, blood transfusions, kidney failures, and nearly lost my life more than a couple of times. Before you scroll down, I have to tell you what made the change you are about to see. I was introduced to Nikken in February 1999. Within 2 months, I was walking with only a cane. Two months later, I was walking on my own. In August of that same year, I danced with my husband again for the first time in 6 years.
Before Picture
I stand on my own and now weigh the perfect weight and can even ride a bicycle! The only changes I made, was
Nikken and it changed my life and lives of my loved ones! We know that dreams can come true and we are so
excited about being part of something so wonderful that really does change lives. It started with someone sharing
information about products that really do work. We have heard so many people who share the same excitement
over being at the right place at the right time. If pictures say a thousand words, ours must be in the millions. The
difference in our lives has been beyond words. We have a social life now. We go places now that were nothing
more than wishful thinking before. Do you have any idea what it is like to try to travel and enjoy the trip instead of
getting where you're going and hurt the whole trip.
After Picture
Our grandchildren are so happy that they can play with grandma again (some for the first time) as I couldn't get on
the floor or hold them with out making myself hurt. They get to go with us on trips. The freedom that comes along
with being a home based business is that when you want to go, you can.  We couldn't believe at first that the money and lifestyles of Nikken Distributors was really that good until we got to know them personally. They are everyday people who knew that this was something worth taking a real close look at. Some didn't even finish high school and others were business people making a great deal of money but no time to spend with their loved ones. Others just didn't like their jobs and knew they would never be free unless they made the commitment to join the Nikken team.

My jaw was locked for 8 months with a calcified disc that went forward in the joint. My prognosis was surgery from the Mayo clinic that gave me 20% success rate to eat supple foods for life but not relief of the chronic, intense pain. My daily life was full of prescription drugs, writing notes to my husband and children and having no phone because I was completely unable to speak. From having my own medical billing business at home and working outside the home part time, my deteriorated physical state required at 34 years old to be retrained by the State for disabilities. I was raising my three girls from the bed and unable to carry out daily duties. Life was about careful, limited choices, I could fix dinner but not have the energy or ability to eat it or clean it up. I could gather laundry but not get any farther. You get the idea. Yuck! I was open for alternatives and refused to accept that my life prognoses was drugs, pain and blender food. I knew there was an answer for me and that my systemic joint disease flare up was not going to crumble me. When I had reconstructive foot surgeries and my length of stay in a wheelchair was undetermined or when I had three shoulder surgeries within two years I knew the body was amazing at finding the Physician within. I definitely believe everyone deserves to be pain free.  I was given a bottle of JOINT from Nikken. I started sleeping and wearing and drinking Nikken. Six weeks later I yawned in the shower and my life has not been the same since. I investigated the company, I researched and tried all the products and each person in my family has had a major quality of life shift.  My husband no longer snores or has gloopy eyes with allergies or misses work with tremendous shoulder tension and headaches. My daughter's gymnastic scores went from 7's to 9's with her going from the bottom of the competitive level to ranking as an elite gymnast statewide! We have all claimed LIFE back.  Surprisingly, I have heard similar benefits from all over the world of people that when they use enough of the energy products for long enough, their quality of life shifts for the better.  Seems to me at our age with the marketplace of baby boomers that no longer settle for traditional remedies of surgery, chemo, antibiotics and radiation that they seek for natural health alternatives to heal and prevent illness. With research proven benchmark patented energy technology products, Nikken alters the bodys' balance to give each person, one person at a time optimum health. I now take no prescription drugs, have no side effects, have full range of motion, no pain, no discomfort and have energies to spend time with my three children and devote to the passion of building a business that provides me with the income to choose my work schedule and who I spend time with. With our natural need to know we gravitate to look for the best. I work with my husband, from our home, with a team of professionals and we have a proven recruiting system that shows people how to do what we have done. I no longer live with the chronic pains of bursitis,
Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and TMJ.

I was told by Dr. that CM Cream is the Fibro person's best friend if you put it on the bottom of their feet at night right before they try to go to sleep, it helps them to fall asleep faster, and they get a deeper, better quality of sleep! You can put CM Cream on them anywhere they hurt during the day as that will help them too, as it removes inflammation. The only people it doesn't work on are those taking steroids, or who have dirty livers (but one person who had a dirty liver felt results within 20 minutes, so you never know).  Also Room Air Cleaner run on Turbo for the full 8 hours while they are sleeping (or trying to sleep) is very helpful as it relaxes muscles,  helps them fall asleep faster, and get deeper, better quality of sleep, plus they get more energy too. While at Oct. Launch, sat 12 feet away from room air cleaner that was on Turbo, within 50 minutes, felt relaxation of muscles in neck, shoulders, back, increased energy, and of course, could breath better too! Found Room Air Cleaner to be even more helpful than CM Cream (use much less CM Cream).

A very good friend of mine with Fibro, felt very ill after using the sleep system for at least a week. She wasn't drinking enough and the second week it started to improve after she started drinking more water. A Nikken doc told her she would kill herself if she kept up with all her medication - so she was willing to stick it out. Her neck discomfort vanished on one side within 1 hour of having the necklace on and was almost gone on the other side. Maybe it’s a good idea for people with fibro to start wearing the necklace & earrings if a female - once they notice that the sleep system is doing its job. My Mom also has fibro and it took her about six months to get relief from her  hip and back problems. It was worth the wait though. Her headaches never did improve, although she seems to get some benefit from the Elastomag headband. Every body is different but I have never heard of any long time Nikken user with Fibro that didn't have improvements. Make sure to drink lots of water. If someone is hydrated, nothing will work.

I do not tolerate meds. After starting to use the Nikken products I was able to go off all of them and that was 5 years ago... all I have used since then is the Nikken products. Starting with the sleep system, magsteps and magboy. I guess I was one of the miracles because I was helped right away. As new products come out I use all of them, especially the water, the PalmMag, Necklace, Neck collar (when my neck and shoulders hurt and I am out and about this is a life saver) I was told I would never be able to paint china again (but I am now thanks to Nikken) I have to limit my time but I am able to paint again. I use the KenkoWave for where ever I have pain. I ta ke the Joint, Calcium, Multi, Mental Clarity, Immunity, and Jade GreenZymes. I use what ever it takes for the moment to give me energy and take away the discomfort as I said I use them all. The seat is one of my favorites along with the sleep system and ElastoMag Neck Wrap ----------------------------------------------------------------

I have had Fibromyalgia for 13 years. In the early years, I was on multiple medications that left me feeling drugged up. Within the last year, I was given a Nikken necklace and a pillow to try. My neck pain is one of those that just doesn't go away and only fluctuates between hurting and more hurting. At one point I could not lie on a pillow as the pressure was too great. The combo of the 2 released my constant tightness and pain! So then I tried a Nikken mattress pad that was loaned to me. Wow, what terrific sleep I had. I of course, have purchased all of the mentioned products. I have been able to manage my pain because of Nikken and felt I wanted to be able to help others, so I became a distributor but I would not have done so if I had not had the privilege of trying the products before I bought them.

Gloria Arrasmith
Another “Miracle” Nikken Success Story August 2005
Gloria was told by her doctors in February of 2005 there was no longer any hope for her. She was told to continue taking her 13 prescribed medications and learn to cope with her unbearable pain which occurred “24/7”. March of 2005 Gloria was led to Nikken Platinum Wellness Consultants, Burt & Lynn Smith; in her own words, “By the grace of God!” During the months of March, April, May & June, 2005 Gloria became well, she has regained her health and her quality of life has dramatically improved. Gloria no longer takes any medications and has not seen a doctor since. Gloria and her husband, Bill Arrasmith, are now Nikken Silver Wellness Consultants and are working toward financial freedom as they spread the word of wellness around the world. In the month of July 2005, Gloria and Bill decided to begin their Nikken business, produced over $20,000 in volume and were promoted to Silver Wellness Consultants. In the same month, they have successfully achieved the “Paragon Award”, “21 Rollout Club”, “Certified Wellness Home”, “2 tickets to the National Convention”, “14 keys for the current contest” and have earned over $4500. Gloria and Bill have been given the greatest gift of all… the GIFT of HOPE

Annette Jackson’s Testimonial told by Dr. John Jackson
Annette and I feel that it is our moral obligation to share her story and what Nikken can do for everyone. So here is our story:

In 1985 a drunk driver rear-ended Annette at 50+ MPH. She developed fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. In Feb. of 2001, Annette came out on the little landing in front of our upstairs bedroom and called down to me at the foot of the stairs, asking for prayer. She needed more energy to keep teaching in her busy piano studio.  The next month we bought the Nikken water system from one of Annette’s student moms, Masami. We had no idea of how good the water was, but trusted the Japanese lady recommending the system to us. After using the water about a month, Annette was invited to Masami’s house. She was shown demos of magnetic and far infrared light energy. Very impressed by what she saw, Annette bought a few things since she felt more energy with them. This Japanese “angel” also loaned Annette a Nikken Sleep System, not knowing there was a sleep problem. Annette herself had no expectation of benefit. In fact, the first and second mornings after using the Nikken Sleep System she felt nothing new. On the third day, she awoke at 6 AM, got up before 7 and had energy all day. At night when she went to bed there was still plenty of energy so she got up and took care of a few more things. By 11:30 she felt that she needed to go to bed for the next day, despite a total lack of fatigue. This was an absolute miracle.  We took this to be the answer to our prayers of many years. Our family was used to always seeing Annette on the sofa, trying to catch up on her sleep. Her mom happened to be visiting and expressed concern that Annette was going and  working, all day without rest! Either that same day or perhaps the 5th morning, Annette got up and told me that her neck felt longer. In retrospect, this was a sign that her fibromyalgia was getting better. Now it seems clear the Nikken water prepared her body to receive the magnetic energy and balanced energy flow was restored by the sleep system. This took her up a few steps on the wellness staircase, the first upward movement in 15 years!!  We next added Nikken nutritionals and Annette’s health went up a couple more steps. Annette’s life-long struggle with uncontrolled sweet and food cravings (almost 24/7) was reduced about 80-90%. As Nikken added more wellness technologies we acquired them and with each product Annette moved higher on the wellness stairs. Now her allergies are about 99% better. [She developed allergic manifestations after the car accident and suffered a great deal, refusing any medication that just temporarily covered up symptoms and suppressed her immune function further.]

Annette takes almost all the nutritionals Nikken makes and her cravings are 100% gone. Heart palpitations are gone by using Nikken’s biaxial PalmMag device. The PalmMag also helped Annette’s terrible gum problems and has prevented any further root canals to date. We even treat bruises and burns with the magnets and far infrared materials. She always sleeps on the Nikken Sleep System, next to a Nikken Air Wellness Power5 on turbo (high) which produces 700,000 negative ions without any toxic byproduct, drinks about one gallon of Optimized PiMag water a day, wears magnetic insoles during the day, wears a magnetic neck chain 24/7, sits on  magnetic seat pads and uses a Biaxial Magnetic Body Energizer 2 times a day. Sounds like a lot, but they are all passive technologies which are easy to integrate into daily life. Feeling great, of course, is a very positive reminder.  Annette felt pretty well from the third morning. At that point we didn’t anticipate that she could feel even better with each added wellness technology. We are now on an important frontier – reaching the ideal weight. In one more month she will arrive there thanks to Nikken’s new Body Balance Weight Management program. Now even when we travel, we always take the wellness home component products with us. Annette says that if there were no way to replace our Nikken wellness home environment, she would not sell the technologies, even for millions of dollars! Does this sound a little like an addiction? That’s exactly right. We are dependent on ocean quality air, mountain stream-like water, organic whole food nutrition, the good sun and earth energies, as well as regenerating rest at night. We will never willingly part with this technological imitation that honors the Garden of Eden atmosphere originally created for our benefit and pleasure!! We have now accumulated considerable experience and are confident that these products work on every human being, every living thing.  The only thing we can’t predict is the rate of change for an individual to notice the difference and come to the same conviction.  For every aspect of Annette’s health and well-being, Nikken has had a solution. And she is not the only one. Every single person in our family who uses Nikken products has had life-changing, life-transforming and even life-saving results. In the last 5 years we have also met hundreds, if not thousands, of people with tremendous impacts. Yes, God made our body capable of healing itself most of the time, but only when all the proper ingredients are supplied for the cells to do their work. Nikken, in my opinion, produces all the right tools for our body to function the way God intended. This is a true gift that Nikken offers and we are trying to share the gift of knowledge with anyone willing to learn. We thank God every day for answering our prayers through Nikken.

I am so excited! The longer I use the OsteoDenx the better I feel. I am finding my energy levels are getting better and my sleep is much more complete. I have fibromyalgia. I am having fewer restless nights where I can't sleep either because of pain and discomfort or waking up each time I move during the night. I am so impressed with this product. It seems that it is taking years off too. Several times in the last 10 days Dan or I have commented on the fact we've been married nearly 30 years or that our children are in their 20's and people don't believe it. Today a cashier said she could believe I was 30, but there was no way I looked old enough to have been married 30 years! It's not often someone takes 15 years off your age in one sentence, but I thought it was a great compliment. No one has said I looked younger than my age for a long time. I risk making this sound unbelievable, but I've even begun to lose some inches. I can't say whether or not I've lost weight, but some of my clothes are getting loose. I'm sure it's because I can do more these days. Not every day is perfect, I still have times when I hurt, but if I were to rate my discomfort on a 1 to 10 scale; I was living between 7 to 9 all the time, even with as much medicine and as strong as the doctors could give me outside of a hospital setting. I took it round the clock just to be able to function. Now when I have a bad day, I would rate myself at a 4, most of the time not even that high. I can take over-the-counter medicine to get relief. What an enormous difference for me! I know it will take some time to rebuild my muscles and stamina after a declining use of my body over the last 17 years since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but now I have hope and knowledge that I will regain what I thought was lost forever. It isn't. I can't wait to be able to
walk my 6 miles a day and to bike and play basketball, etc with Dan and to have the energy and stamina when my grandchildren eventually are born. This seems too good to be true, yet every morning I wake up and realize it isn't a dream, it really is happening. Thanks to Nikken and thanks to OsteoDenx I have a life again that I can enjoy instead of one in which I just exist. Enough, because I could go on for a long time about the wonders of OsteoDenx in my life.
