Here are some great ways to save money on some of the Nikken products.

Until December 18 Nikken is offering 15% savings on all regular orders over $400 (actually it’s for orders over 300 in volume, which only my fellow distributors would be able to figure out. In most cases that translates to about $400).  The discount only applies to orders placed over the phone, which means that I will have to place it for you. I will be happy to do that for you so that you can save some money. Also note that the sale does not apply to discontinued items (which have a better deal anyway) or to the new magnetic mattress topper and pillow.  This is a really great opportunity to try out some of Nikken’s more expensive items, like the air filter and water filters, and save a nice chunk of money.

Discontinued items are going for 25% off until the end of the month. That goes for the older magnetic mattress pad (Ultra Kenko Pad), the magnetic pillow, the stainless steel and titanium magnetic bracelets, the detoxifying cleanse (one of my favorite nutritional products), and the twin packs of magnetic insoles (includes 1 pair of MagSteps and 1 pair of MagStrides). These are great deals on the discontinued items and are less than the original wholesale price (what I had to pay for them).

The deal with the twin packs of magnetic insoles is insane. They are NOT discontinuing the insoles, just the twin packs, and the only difference is a thin strap of paperboard that holds them together.  That is like buying a pair of MagSteps at regular price and getting a pair of MagStrides for 68.75% off. You will have to act quick on this one because only the medium size was still available the last time I checked.

The discount for the Ultra Kenko Pad and pillow is really good too, especially when you consider that the new magnetic mattress pads and pillow cost a good bit more. If you have wanted a magnetic mattress pad for your bed, you will want to get it now. With this 25% discount you will save several hundred dollars compared to waiting for the newer Naturest pads and pillow. Hurry though. The twin size is already gone.

If you have been thinking about getting any of these products, now is a great time to get them. The best way to reach me is through my Contact page or with my contact info at http://www.getmywellness.com.

Update 01/04/2010:

• The magnetic insole twin packs are gone.
• The Kenko Aire air mattress with magnetic pad is still available in all sizes except Queen.
• The Ultra Kenkopad is still available in Demo, Queen, King, and Cal-King. The demo pad is the size of a massage table, a little narrower than a twin and slighly longer. Great for massage therapists.
• Of the magnetic bracelets, only the men’s Classic Stainless is still available.

Do you have difficulty sleeping more than a few hours at a time? Nikken has just launched a new magnetic mattress topper and will discontinue the current Ultra Kenko Pad once they run out. They are calling the new magnetic pad the Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper. There is also a new Naturest pillow as well that will replace the existing pillow.

The technology advances are cool but the most important thing is how people are sleeping. I used to have trouble getting to sleep at night until I started using Nikken’s current magnetic mattress pad, the Ultra Kenko Pad. Once that was on my bed I could fall asleep within seconds of laying down, and still do. The only down side to that magnetic pad is that it is very firm. If you like a soft bed then it probably took a little adapting to, and it did for me.

There are a few people who still had trouble sleeping with that one. Two people in my upline told me that before the Ultra Kenko Pad they would sleep very little. With that pad they could sleep 4 hours or so at a time and feel great. That was a significant improvement for them and they were happy with that.

Now comes the new Naturest mattress topper. These same people are saying that this new pad is helping them to sleep 8 or 9 hours a night. They might not get that every night, but even just 2 or 3 nights a week of sleeping completely through the night is a huge breakthrough for them.

The new magnetic mattress pad, or mattress topper as they are calling them now, is made using a natural latex rubber and a new magnet technology. Latex provides many benefits. It is a renewable resource, so it is good for the environment. The latex is much softer than the foam from the current magnetic pad, so it is more comfortable and easier to adjust to. Natural latex is also resistant to microbes and such, so it is cleaner and better for the body.

I don’t know much about the science behind the new magnets in the Naturest pad other than that they have figured out how to incorporate 3 magnets, offset from each other to some degree, into each node. They are calling this Radial-Axis Magnetism or RAM and it somehow creates a 3-dimensional magnetic cocoon effect that wraps the body and is able to pull you deeper into sleep.

While all of the new technologies are great, the important thing is that people who had trouble sleeping are now able to sleep through the night. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will experience the same results that they have. The cool thing about magnets is that they don’t have any negative side-effects, so it doesn’t hurt to try it out.

The Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper and pillow is currently in a pre-order phase. Leave me a comment here or use my contact page to reach me to find out more about it and order your own.

You’ve heard all the noise in the news about the government’s proposed health care plan.  I even received an automated phone survey from one of our congressmen to get my input on it. The survey also asked questions about taxing the wealthy, which I discuss on another blog. This is about my take on the health care debate.

I think the government, and the whole “health care” industry in general, has taken the wrong approach. Drugs and surgery are only attempts at fixing problems after they occur, and for the most part they only cover up symptoms without addressing the cause of the illness. A better way is to address the lifestyle choices that are causing the problems. I choose to call it “wellness care“.

You are the result of the daily choices you make. If you choose to eat fast food, drink sodas, and deprive yourself of sleep on a regular basis then you have a better chance of getting sick. They increase the stress and acidity in the body. That’s all there is to it.

If you prefer to eat healthy vegetables, supplement your diet, drink plenty of clean water, and get enough sleep, then your chances of staying healthy are much better. These choices decrease acidity and put less stress on the body.

It all comes down to choices.

I can put it another way for you. The US has one of the most “advanced” medical system in the world. Nobody is better at drugging and cutting the body than we are. We are also one of the most chronically ill countries on the planet. Why is that? My opinion is  that health doesn’t come from a pill bottle or syringe, and that is all that a government health care plan is likely to address.

This is what I’m doing to stay healthy, especially with all of the illness concerns that people have right now. I have an organic salad with spinach and other tasty leaves just about every day for lunch. I eat my salad dry so that I need to drink plenty of water to wash it down which helps to make sure I get the necessary amount of water every day. I also take nutritional supplements, sleep on a magnetic mattress pad, and make time to play with my kids (play helps to relieve stress).

What choices are you going to make today?

Scientific research is finally beginning to find out how magnetic fields help the body.  I want to share one item that I read about yesterday.

Scientists are finally studying the connective tissue, the fascia, in the body and discovering all of the amazing properties that it has.  One aspect of the fascial system is the perineural system, which is the connective tissue that covers every last nerve fiber in the entire body.  Robert O. Becker discovered that it operates on a low voltage direct current (DC) and controls injury repair.

One of the discoveries that Becker made about the perineural system was that it is sensitive to magnetic fields.  His research was based on the ‘transverse Hall Effect’ which indicates that semiconduction is taking place in the system and gives a basis for healing with magnets and biomagnetic fields.

The Hall Effect states that if a current is flowing through a magnetic field, the magnetic field exerts a transverse force on the charge carriers that tens to push them to one side of the conductor.

So there’s the science behind magnets helping the body.  If it all made sense to you then that’s great.  If it didn’t, then here’s something that might help.  Magnets have been used for thousands of years by various cultures.  Try them for yourself and see what happens.  Contact me and I will get you hooked up.

I highly recommend the book where I found this information: Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis by James L. Oschman

Robert Becker also has a book, The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life, that I have not read yet. I will as soon as I finish Oschman’s book.

I was asked yesterday if magnets can help with fibromyalgia.  I would like to be able to just say “yes” and move on, but that would be irresponsible and get me in a whole bunch of trouble with Nikken and the FDA, so I won’t.

Before I go any farther,  I want to make it completely clear that I am not a doctor, I cannot diagnose whether you have fibromyalgia or any other condition, and I cannot prescribe anything for any condition that you may have.

So, what can I say about fibromyalgia?  Well, for one, medicine hasn’t actually decided what exactly fibromyalgia is.  It is closely related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the lines between the two conditions appear to be very blurry.  It is classified as one of the many auto-immune conditions where the immune system attacks the body as if it was an attacker.  People who have fibromyalgia usually complain that their whole body hurts all the time, and it is a chronic condition, which means that they will probably have it for a very long time and maybe the rest of their life.  People with fibromyalgia don’t usually have much hope of getting out of pain, which is a really sad way to have to live.

I read a good description of fibromyalgia on another site.  It said that it is an inflammation based condition.  For whatever reason, inflammation is triggered and it stays on, becoming chronic.

As a Nikken consultant I have heard many people report that problems with inflammation have improved after using the magnetic sleep system, insoles, and the biaxial magnetic rotation products.  I have also heard several testimonials in regards to fibromyalgia specifically.

As I said before, I’m not a doctor, so I cannot tell you that magnets will help you if you have fibromyalgia.  I will say that magnets have been determined to be completely safe, unless you have a pacemaker or some other battery-powered implant.  With that said, my recommendation is that if you want an alternative to living with pan, give the Nikken magnets a try.  Use the sleep system, insoles, and always drink plenty of water (we are 70% water and need to stay hydrated) for 3 months.  The worst that can happen is that nothing happened, and just maybe something might.

Have you heard that the benefits that people get from magnets is just the placebo effect?

placebo – a substance containing no medication and prescribed or given to reinforce a patient’s expectation to get well.

placebo effect – a reaction to a placebo manifested by a lessening of symptoms or the production of anticipated side effects.

I recently saw an episode of the old TV show M.A.S.H. where the doctors didn’t have any morphine to give their patients for their pain after surgery.  They decided to make sugar pills to give the patients and hope that the placebo effect would get them through until a new shipment of morphine arrived.  The mind can do amazing things if we let it, or cause it to think it should.

When talking about magnets I sometimes hear that they don’t really do anything.  Any supposed benefit is just the placebo effect.  If I have a headache what do I care if the  “lessening of symptoms” is because of a placebo effect or because of drugs masking the pain?  I just want the headache gone.  The thing with the magnet, placebo or otherwise, is that there aren’t any side-effects either.

So, the next time you use your magnetic patches or magnetic insoles to take care of a problem and someone tells you that it is a placebo, just say “So what!”.

Wayne Woodworth
Magnets are a placebo? The pain is still gone.

Have you used magnetic insoles, magnetic jewelry, or any other magnetic products?

Most of the people I have talked to use them to take care of a particular condition, which I think is great.  As a massage therapist, I recommend Nikken magnetic products to my clients to help with sore muscles and to promote relaxation.  Did you know that they can be a great preventative too?

The Earth’s magnetic field is not uniform.  It varies from one place to another so that one place can have a positive magnetic field and others, not even too far way, can have a negative field or a neutral field.  The earth’s magnetic field shifts constantly as well.  NASA has reported that the magnetic north pole moves every year and reverses on average every 300,000 years.

Nikken’s magnetic products are static earth magnets that can help balance the magnetic field that you are immersed in every day.  It is my belief that staying in this supportive magnetic field can help prevent a lot of the every day issues that we all face, things like fatigue, lack of energy, mild discomfort, and other similar issues.

Sleeping on a magnetic sleep system, like Nikken’s Ultra Kenko Pad or KenkoAir mattress, far-infrared comforter, and magnetic pillow will help balance your energy while you are sleeping and allow your body to make the best use of the few hours it has to energize and restore itself.

My first experience with Nikken was with the Ultra Kenko Pad.  A massage therapist friend invited us to a Wellness Home Preview and we were allowed to borrow the magnetic mattress pad for a week to see what we thought of it.  The short version of the story is that we ended up joining Nikken and highly recommend both the product and the business.

We put the magnetic pad on our bed and covered it over with the sheet  and settled in for the night under the far-infrared comforter.  Nobody told us to put our regular mattress pad over it too.  I wish they had because my first thought was that I was lying on a rock.  Firmness aside, I slept better than I had in years.  With the combination of the magnets, far-infrared, and negative ions everything on the bed just felt right.

Since we joined, Nikken has introduced the Kenko Air mattress which is an air mattress, similar to those number beds, with the Ultra Kenko Pad on top of it.  I tried one out once and it is very nice.  You can control the firmness of each side of the bed independently.  We don’t have one yet because our existing mattress is in great shape and there is no need to upgrade yet.

Do you know what Nikken Far-Infrared Technology is all about?

Yesterday I attended the quarterly Rhythm of Nikken event in my area and we were very fortunate to have Dave Balzer speak to us about some of the Nikken technologies.  Dave has had a long history with Nikken and is currently serving as the chairman of the new Scientific Advisory Board.  Needless to say, he knows a lot about the Nikken technologies and how they work.

Infrared energy is the frequency of magnetic waves just below the visible light spectrum and far-infrared waves are the waves at the lowest end of the infrared range.  Near-infrared is the energy used in heat lamps and mid-infrared is used in communication devices like TV remotes.  Neither of these penetrate our bodies very far.  Far-Infrared energy does penetrate our bodies bringing in nurturing heat along with it.  Far-Infrared is the energy behind the warmth we feel from the sun, even on cold winter days.

Nikken has many far-infrared products including the comforters in the Kenko sleep systems, the new travel comforter, the KenkoTherm wraps, and the new sport socks.
