They are from people like you and me. We make NO MEDICAL CLAIMS -- and we do not claim to heal or cure) FROM: peg@ My husband was on sleeping medicine for many years with only fair results, but now with the sleep system, men's nutritional and sleep mask, he sleeps right away, and lasts all night without getting up at all. His vision was deteriorating, yet with the sleep mask he has had clear improvement. He is no longer on his high blood pressure medicine. Lastly, being a diabetic, with numbness in his feet and discomfort with a fungal infection, only 4 months of wearing the insoles corrected all these conditions!!! I have had breathing problems, shots, puffers, and pills gallor - after the sleep system, necklace and esp. the headband which I keep in my purse with magboys in emergencies I just put on my headband and in seconds I am breathing well. The magboys are great to have for any joint discomfort, but especially while in Colorado and climbing the mountains, I would get very distended, but just rolling the magboys cleared me immediately. While in Colorado we had to have long underwear, my husband only supported a competitor, but now he is a firm supporter of Nikkens far-infrared long underwear along with 4 family members, they are great all day and all night, one is never too warm or too cold. I use the magcreator on my lower back and neck for relaxation and relief. I have the water system on the sink using a simple filtration faucet and also on the refrigerator ice maker and cold water dispenser! I use the glass sun tea containers for the bathroom and church functions. Just applying the water to my knee and elbow discomfort, eliminated all discomfort immediately!! My parents, 80yrs old, have the sleep system and PiMag water: they are in their winter home and just called to say their bodies are aching because they don't have their sleep system!!! I believe my wonderful health is due to the nutritional support and Nikken produces we use daily!! What a blessing! Peg Dryden -- FROM: hether@ 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 ½ 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? Sue Hetherington in Arizona. -- JudyKnits@ My husband used to snore terribly, now he doesn't. He sleeps on the sleep system, the firm pillow and uses the sleep mask. We have a much quieter atmosphere and I love it! Judy Mann ------------------------------- langlinks@ I slept on a Nikken mattress pad for 2 weeks when 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 (I probably have undiagnosed fibromyalgia). 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. I am almost grateful that she didn't warn me ahead of time, otherwise I might have thought that I "imagined" the entire experience. Susan -- FROM: afinley@ When our 17-month-old has difficulty falling asleep, we roll the Magboys on her back and abdomen. She immediately relaxes and soon thereafter falls asleep. -- FROM: onelamb@juno For years Bill had a 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. 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. We purchased the sleep system and noticed once he was on it, (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 his breathing and breathed normally. We cancelled the appointment with the surgeon. And now 3 years later, he gets up only once or twice at the most in the early morning. He snores no more and he wakes up rested. Joan Stroup -- FROM: maglady2000@ I have a son who has been documented and diagnosed with everything. Timothy has been diagnosed with all sorts of behavioral problems. The only ones I accept are Oppositional Defiant Disorder and a Tourette's Syndrome Related Disorder. By the time he was 5 ½ he had 18 major diagnoses--because they had to change the diagnosis to validate changing the meds which weren't working. And it all started as a result of his reaction on Amoxicillin. His skin lesions were then treated with Hydrocortisone cream and he's never been the same since. He has been in 22 schools and had 7 long-term placements. In October, 1997, Dr. Margolis from Harrisburg, PA, shared his work with behavior problem children using Nikkens products. That day I took my son out of the group home they had him in and took him off all meds and put him on Magstrides and the sleep system. He uses the Intellirest pillow and the comforter, which is crucial. It has given him a new life--and the rest of us as well! Dr. Margoles has been a pediatrician for 36 years and is a Nikken Wellness Consultant. In the summer of 1996 he started a project to see if the behavioral-problem kids of 30 families (whose parents did not like having them on psych meds) would show any response on Nikken products. Surprise, they were still off the meds in October of 1997. ------- n2sewing@ My son, Daniel is 14 and has been on Prozac and Ritalin for about 2 years. I've noticed when he uses the sleep system he seems more cheerful and "balanced". I can tell a big difference in his temperament and when he wears my gold necklace, I believe it helps him with his concentration level. He only uses Ritalin for school...home isn't a problem. He has more of a short fuse problem than an attention problem at home and that is where I can see the biggest improvement. Also, when he gets an occasional sinus headache, the necklace clears it up within 5 minutes. Debbie Holterhaus ------- ccanderson@ 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. Carolyn C. Anderson Santa Roas CA ----------------- louise magnomom@ 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. Sincerely, Louise --------------------------- DWise28889@ 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 pearl 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. Danielle ----------- Laws900@ 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. Carol Laws ------------------------ Jfmims@ Before I knew about Nikken products, I hurt severely all over. I could not sit for more than thirty minutes at the time. 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.] 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. Nikken products do not cure any ailments or disease, of which I am aware, nor do they claim to, but due to the relief of so much discomfort, I have my life back. I thank Heavenly Father each day for the Nikken products and what they do for me. Lane ----------------- louise magnomom@ A friend left me a Nikken tape at my home and I was annoyed with my husband for taking it. I thought it was another pill or drink whatever. When she called to see if I could come to her home for a demonstration I told her no I did not think I would be interested. She asked if she could pick up the tape, I told her yes and after she hung up I began to feel guilty and thought she may ask me why. Not having even listed to it I thought well - I will listen and then be able to tell her why. I barely began to listen and heard sleep system, relieve discomfort and my attention was there. I never even listened to the whole tape and knew I wanted to see more. She came and I told her I had not listened and could I come, we laughed and from there is history. We bought the sleep system and innersoles that day, within 3-4 days I knew I felt better. I suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, have a new knee and need a new hip. I had reached what the medical community call MMI maximum medical improvement. They had sent me to pain clinic given many doses of cortisone etc. I was on medication to help me sleep without discomfort as my bad hip woke me up 3 and 4 times a night. After a week on the sleep system and my innersoles I was off the medication at night and most of the arthritis meds and I sleep well and have a much better quality of life. I had reached the point of feeling like my body was dying and I could do nothing. I would sleep for 8-10 hrs and when I got up wonder when I slept. I hurt all over and when people touched me it hurt. Now I get up feeling energy and looking forward to my day. I thank God and my friend every day for bringing Nikken to my life. Louise Broniecki - globalbalance@ My health problems started about 15 years ago with chronic back problems. Then I starting hurting in my neck, my arms and my shoulders and eventually I hurt throughout my body. I started having constant headaches and migraines. This all then turned into a sleeping disorder. I went to a sleep clinic in Ames and found out I wasn’t getting any REM sleep. I had gotten so bad from years of hurting, that the only way I could get some sleep was to take prescription drugs. I hurt all over (extremely), my joints and muscles were on fire most of the time, I had no energy, low self esteem, no will to live much less being concerned about a future, I had gotten so depressed, because I had tried everything, and I just kept getting worse. I had tried many different antidepressants, but I hated the way they made me feel. I had done everything I knew how to do. I had gone to different doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and was taking a lot of medications. Most days I was taking up to 1,000 milligrams of ibuprofen just so I could make it through the day. I was just surviving from day to day. My misery colored my views of everything and everybody. It seemed like I was sick all the time with something; colds, sinus infections, migraines, the flu, or whatever. So when Nikken’s natural products came along, my life was totally out of balance and I was ready to try anything. It was totally unbelievable to me what happened. By the end of one week, from using the back flex, my back no longer hurt. By the end of one month, from being on the sleep system which includes the mattress, pillow and comforter, wearing the necklace, magsteps in my shoes, and taking Nikken’s nutritionals, I was able to quit taking all my medications. I got my quality of life back. My whole body feels normal again and I sleep like a baby. And I haven’t been sick once since. The products literally saved my life. I now have energy, joy and passion for life again, and I have so much fun helping people to find the balance we all deserve. What a blessing! Cinda - FROM: WKHelton@ I entered a clinical study of the sleep patterns of Fibromyalgia patients at Duke...kept the sleep diary for 8 days and went to meet with the psychologist/sleep specialist who is on the study team. He solemnly read my questionnaire answers, and carefully perused my diary. He asked why I was at the appointment and said that most of the people he examines have my "worst night" scenario, every night. Needless to say, I whipped out a Product catalog and brochure, raved about my sleep system and gave him several testimonies. He was cordial, but hit me with the usual, "I must have double blind studies". I told him that my Duke Orthopedist and my Duke family physician have the innersoles...he smiled and handed me my parking voucher!! I mailed him the Tufts University Double Blind Tests and several articles. I am so pleased to be out here spreading the word that there is help! S. Helton, Durham, NC. - FROM: CindyBWillis@ 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 have 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. Cindy Willis - FROM: VICTORYPRODUCTS@ While going to many doctors in search of a reason for my sleep problem, no energy, and achiness I did the hair analysis. For almost a year I took the specific supplements he supplied and re-did the analysis on a regular basis. I found absolutely no change in my condition (which was later diagnosed as Fibromyalgia). I had the 2 years previous been on homeopathic type supplements that you put under your tongue for several minutes before swallowing, also with no progress. For 2 years after that I did nothing accept take amytryptilene to help me sleep. After purchasing the sleep system I stopped the medicine. I use many other products including their vitamins and I’m now doing great. ------------------------------- bpgreenland@ 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. Brad Aussie ------------------------------- balanced@ 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. Anne Wilson - Calgary, AB T2Z 3A8 ------------------------------- brentkim 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 scepticism, 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. Kimberly Bigler - Phone: ( ------------------------------- FROM: wernsman@ The Deluxe Kenko Pad has had a big impact on my sleep. My wife use to stay awake trying to read herself to sleep and the late burning of the lamp would keep me up also. After hearing so many testimonies about the sleep system we were loaned a demo pad and my wife used it. Wow! She was now only reading a paragraph instead of the whole chapter before going to sleep. We bought the Deluxe Kenkopad and my wife is no longer having trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep. Thank you Nikken and praise the Lord for magnetic energy! Chuck Tracy Wernsman ------------------------------- Landscape4@ Hands down our Nikken products have proven themselves to deliver results one more time...and this time on Fox News.......hats off to Nikken On Monday night, October 8th in Colorado, Fox 31 News at 9:00 had a piece on Nikken. Very well known and most popular consumer watch anchor, troubleshooter Tom Martino tested the Kenko Pad and pillows. They taped a person that had serious snoring problems, they actually taped her while she was sleeping and she sounded like a freight train coming through the room. Family, Friends, Neighbors, and even co-workers said nothing could help. They tried some sort of snoring spray first and taped again, and she was just as bad. Then they had her use the Nikken Kenko Pad and Pillows, and there she was being taped and you could barely hear her sleeping. Tom gives everything a Fame or Shame, this got a big Fame. For everyone that has seen Tom Martino knows his credibility and how strict and straight line he is on testing, this is an awesome piece of advertisement for us. The segment was about two minutes. For copy information you may call VMS 303-861-7163. This piece aired at about 9:40 PM. on 10/8 ------------------------------- FROM: beawinner@ 2 years ago I never could get warm and it took hours before I could get to sleep. I went from wearing wool socks, heavy flannels, 4 blankets and even gloves to falling asleep within minutes with just the Sleep System. I wake up fully rested and not in a ball. Thank you Nikken. Evie Huff ------------------------------- Sclt99@ I'll never forget the first time I heard magnet (at least in terms of health). My wife says to me, Mom got these magnets that she wears and sleeps on and her hip doesn't hurt anymore, her back doesn't hurt, her shoulder doesn't hurt and she's sleeping better. I didn't say anything but I was thinking what did someone do hypnotize her? It must all be in her head. Anyway, she got her stuff decided to do the business and guess whom she called first? She gave me a good line; I just need to practice my presentation. Well, being the good son-in-law that I am, I reluctantly agreed. Anyway, I had a sleep problem that had go progressively worse the last 10 years. I think it was probably hereditary since my dad had the same problem. My sleep was Very light to the point if my wife rolled over or I heard the lightest noise I woke up. It would then take ½ hour to an hour or more to get back to sleep. If I had a stressful day I would spend the night fixing forklifts in my sleep. I am very good at my job and a lot of the times that means I get the tough jobs and a lot of probably self-imposed pressure. So Iwould take the job to bed. I never felt rested in the morning and did not function well. I was to the point where I was taking antidepressants. It was the low point of my life when I gave in and started taking the antidepressants. To me it meant I was weak. I soon realized that anyone would be depressed if they couldn't sleep. So my wife and I went to her sponsors house for the presentation. I was already half ticked off because I didn't have time to work out. Working out is the only thing that even helped me a little as far as sleep. I would have preferred to work out in the mornings but I could not function in the mornings or get up early enough to do it. Its funny right before we left I said to my wife. I hope your mother doesn't expect us to buy anything. So, anyway the 4 of us get there, my wife, mother-in-law, my bad attitude and me. The first thing I hear is this is a Japanese company and that magnets are not new and other countries have been using them for hundreds of years. Yada, yada, yada. And I am thinking that if I haven't heard of it in the good Old USA then it isn't worth hearing about. I've since learned there is a lot I haven't heard about. Anyway, I sat there with my arms crossed and listened. But it wasn't until the strength demonstration did they get my attention. My next question after I sat down kind of stunned, was if that's true, why isn't every professional athlete in the world using magnets. Well, of course, Bonnie whipped out a list of athletes. But, I still didn't have much hope, I agreed to use the products and give it a good try. Well, it didn't take but one night for me to have my best nights sleep in 10 years. I thought maybe it was a fluke but it happened night after night after night. Well, needless to say I changed my mind about magnets. I went from being the biggest skeptic in the world to thinking everyone should be using magnets for their problems and especially prevention. For me it changed everything. I had more patience with my kids, I became a better husband, and became a more social person, I was able to start exercising in the mornings, I even coached my son's flag football team, I could have never done that before magnets. Scott Merrick ------------------------------- FROM: onelamb@ My brother-in-law and sister-in-law purchased the Intellirest mattress pad. They are both retired and both have had both knee joints replaced plus other health challenges. They use many of our products. I just wanted to share what they said with you.

We spent 5 days at Steve's and we had the very best bed and most people would have thought it wonderful. It was a really good mattress on it. Butttttttt each night I hurt worse until the 5th night I didn't get any sleep. If I laid on my left side my hip hurt, on my right side my shoulder hurt, on my back my back hurt, to say the least I was miserable. Everyone else was going home on Christmas day as they had to work on Wed. Don and I were going to wait until Wed. to leave but considering everything we left on Tuesday also just to get home to my own bed. That night I slept all night with out pain and felt great the next morning. I know the Nikken Mattress made the difference. That was the first we had been away from home since we had started sleeping on it." Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
