Service-based businesses are severely limited in the amount of income that they can generate. A massage therapist makes somewhere between $15 and $100 per hour in my area depending on if they work for someone or for themselves. Either way, they are limited by the number of hours they can work in a day, and by how many appointments they can get scheduled. It makes sense to have a product to help supplement their income for the times when they aren’t fully booked or want to take some time off (or make only $15 an hour).

Chiropractors have figured that out.

I am a massage therapist and was introduced to Nikken by another massage therapist. In my opinion, Nikken’s products are the perfect match for what massage therapists do. Their magnetic items help a therapist’s clients to sleep better and take care of their issues between sessions. They even make magnetic massage tools for therapists to use during a session, and I do use them on my clients.

The bottom line is that, regardless of what company, massage therapists and other wellness practitioners must to have a product line to strengthen their income stream.

The Winter Olympics are going on right now in Vancouver so I thought I should write a little about how athletes use Nikken’s products, especially the magnets. The Nikken website at one time listed a bunch of athletes who have endorsed Nikken in the past. The list is long gone but the magnetic bracelet that Nikken designed with Shannon Miller, gold medal gymnast, is still available. I also remember seeing a picture of my one of my upline Royal Diamonds with the boxer, Evander Holyfield.

Most athletes like the Nikken magnets because they help speed recovery after a workout. I cannot make medical claims, but as a massage therapist I believe the reason that they work so well for post workout recovery is that they increase blood flow to the areas that need it. Increased blood flow will bring in fresh oxygen and nutrition to restore the muscles and flush out the lactic acid and other wastes that had built up.

For all intents and purposes, the magnets are like a sports massage that can keep going for as long as you use them.

As with anything I have written about Nikken’s products, I am not a medical doctor and do not claim that the products will help you with any particular condition. I use them and I recommend them to people based solely on my experience and other peoples’ testimonials of them.

Nikken is a well-established company that has been helping the world with magnets since the mid seventies. They have introduced a new product that not only works wonders but it is also completely affordable. The Nikken Power Patch is a revolutionary product that has many applications. Many people know of the effects that magnets have on conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and muscle aches but I came across a new use. I had been using the Power Patches on my neck and shoulders and have friends who have had good results using them for headaches, so I knew they worked.

One afternoon I was sprinting across the garage and caught my leg on the handlebar of a bicycle. As soon as I did it, I had the thought “that’s going to leave a bruise”. Then I had another thought: Nikken Power Patch. I immediately went inside and stuck one right on the spot where my leg banged into the handlebar and left it there for the remainder of the day. The next morning I removed the Power Patch and guess what? No bruise. The area was not even tender to the touch. I was impressed. Now, anytime I bang an elbow or a shin, I head straight to my magnets. I have also had good luck in speeding the healing of small cuts and scratches with the Power Patches after the skin closed.

I’ll tell you another really cool thing about magnets. They work great for kids as well as adults. Anytime our kids fall down or get a bump, they ask for a magnet. And at $2 each, you can have some for the whole family.

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.

The new shakes are based on vegetable protein, not soy or whey, and use an organic sweetener, so they don’t have any of the problems that the old shakes had. Like before, the are available in both vanilla and chocolate flavors. A real plus for the new shakes is that, keeping inline with Nikken’s push to go more organic, more of the ingredients come from organic sources. They also qualify as a nutritional supplement because they contain prebiotics and probiotics to help with gastrointestinal health.

All that is great, but the important question is how do they taste?  I personally don’t know yet (my shake mix is supposed to ship to me tomorrow). I have heard that they taste great, even better than the previous shakes. If you are someone who has an allergy to any of the ingredients in the previous shakes, then you now should have a viable option for meal replacement.

Even better than anything I can say about them, try them for yourself and let me know what you think.

Happy to offer healthy options

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.

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?

The bottom line is that water is necessary for just about every process that takes place in the body. It is necessary to keep the skin and mucous membranes soft and effective at keeping out invaders. Water is the medium in which our food is digested, the nutrition transported to the cells, metabolized, and the wastes carried away and eliminated. It is also necessary for neurons to fire and for proper brain function.

I once heard Ted Aloisio speak. He tells people to drink water first, then have you juice, tea, or whatever it is that you want. Ted Aloisio is a nutritional expert and author of Blood Never Lies and Quad 3. None of those other drinks count toward the amount of water that you should drink each day.  Only water counts.

As you know, when you haven’t had enough water you are dehydrated. When you are dehydrated your body does what it can to conserve water for the more vital functions. One of the first victims to dehydration is the skin and mucous linings of the mouth and nose.  You probably know several people with dry skin.

Just 2% dehydration can lead to fuzzy short-term memory. That leads me to believe that the body has turned down the nervous system to save some water. That could also lead to slow response times and poor judgment (like not drinking water).

5% dehydration will give you a slight fever. The body’s temperature regulation system is not functioning like it should. Someone this dehydrated will probably notice that they have stopped sweating.

When you jump up to 10% dehydration you lose the ability to walk. There are probably a lot more things that you can’t do either because the water is not available in the muscles for the chemical reactions that cause them to contract.

The rest of the body’s functions shut down by the time it reaches 12% dehydration, which is fatal.

Here’s an idea that might help you to get more water. Most of us are so chronically dehydrated that we have forgotten how to distinguish between thirst and hunger, which has contributed to the rampant obesity that we see in our society. So, the next time you feel hungry (especially if you are trying to lose weight) get a good drink of water first and see if that helps. You will eat less food and give your body the water it needs to metabolize and eliminate the fat.

So go get a drink of water right now while you’re thinking about it.

Biaxial Body Energizer helps Diabetics with Peripheral Neuropathy

Nikken’s primary focus has been on magnetic technology for 35 years, so they really know magnets. They offer a lot of products with magnets that may help.

Happy feet due to the Body Energizer.

Currently the only FDA approved magnetic devices are those that generate pulsed electromagnetic fields.  One application of this that I have read about is in healing broken bones.  If a bone doesn’t heal in 3 to 6 months they may prescribe a battery operated device that the patient has to wear to 8 to 10 hours a day.  The device generates a pulsed magnetic field that stimulates the healing process in the bone.

Research has shown that magnetic fields can be effective for soft-tissue repair too.  Studies have shown things like reduced swelling, diminished pain, faster recovery, and accelerated nerve regeneration.  That’s just a few of the benefits that science has shown.

I believe that people can get similar benefits from the right static and biaxial magnets as well.  While not FDA approved, they have shown to be very effective in helping the body heal and have been used for thousands of years.

Bear in mind though that not everyone will see immediate benefit from  magnets, whether pulsed or static.  But then, not everyone receives immediate benefit from medications or any other therapy either.  The great thing about magnets is that there are no side effects.  You can’t say that about drugs.
