A friend asked me recently why I didn’t have more massage therapists working with me to build exposure for Nikken. I’m told that most chiropractors usually have a product they sell, usually a nutritional supplement or something along those lines. Most massage therapists I know rely entirely on their service for income. That just doesn’t make sense to me.

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.

How many times have you banged some part of your body and thought begrudgingly that tomorrow there would be a mark? And how many times have you looked at some part of your body and wondered where that bruise came from? I know that I have been in both those situations. Not anymore.

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.

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.

Nikken has launched a new meal replacement shake. The previous shakes have either been based on whey or soy protein and one used sucralose as a sweetener. These all have problems for different people. Some people can’t take whey because it is derived from milk and they have allergies to that.  Research is finding that soy isn’t everything that it was supposedly cracked up to be.  If you search www.mercola.com for articles about soy, you will find that soy has a lot of potential health risks. These risks include hormone imbalance, memory loss, and increased cancer risk. You can also find several stories about the risks of using sucralose, which you may know by the brand name Splenda, at mercola.com as well.

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.

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.

CBS recently had a news segment about Dr. Weintraub’s study showing that diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy are receiving significant benefits from using magnets.  They say that some patients, in addition to some easing of the pain and numbness that is a part of peripheral neuropathy, are also showing signs that the nerve fibers are actually regenerating.  That is great news and could lead into some significant studies to see if magnets could help with spinal cord repair.

Check out the video and let me know what you think.

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.

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.

Nikken doesn’t have any products with the extremely high Gauss ratings that you can find from some other products online. I have received questions from several people who think that the stronger magnetic fields will do better for them.  I haven’t been able to give them a good answer until now because I’m not an expert on magnetism and its effects on the body.

While not an official Nikken response, the answer comes from the man who has invented and developed several of Nikken’s magnetic products, Anthony Bove.  Basically, those high Gauss magnetic fields can generate too much electricity and heat in the body.  If you want to get more into the science and all of that then you are welcome to look up things like Faraday’s Law and Lorentz Force.

More telling for me is to look at thermographic images from before and after actually using the magnets.

Notice that when the thermographic image first shows up, the subjects toes are cold (black) and by the end they are warm (white). That’s what really matters, and this is just from a pair of magnetic insoles (MagStrides in this case).

Magnetic insoles are probably the most obvious and well known of Nikken’s products.  They are the first product that Nikken released when they were founded back in the mid 1970’s, so the insoles have been around for a long time.  The magnetic insoles have been improved over the years and they still represent the core of what makes Nikken famous.

The first question people ask when talking about magnetic insoles is “do they work?”.  The great thing about magnets is that it is easy to prove that they do.  You put them in your shoes and either you feel something or you don’t.  It’s that simple.

When demonstrating the insoles to people I usually do one of two things.  To show people how magnets and magnetic insoles can make them stronger I use applied kinesiology, or muscle testing.  Basically, I have them stand in front of me with one arm stretched out to the side at shoulder height and their hand balled into a fist.  I push down on their wrist with two fingers and have them resist.  Without the insoles under their feet most people are usually pretty weak.  Then I have them stand on the insoles and repeat the procedure.  Most people are amazed at how much stronger they are with the insoles.

The second demonstration is probably even more amazing.  I have the person sit on the front edge of a chair with their feet flat on the floor and their arms together stretched out in front of them.  This time I push up while they resist.  In most cases their feet come up off the floor as they tip back in the chair.  Then I put the insoles under their feet and repeat the process.  This time their feet stay on the ground. To further prove that the insoles are the cause, I take one away and repeat it again.  This time the foot with the insole stays on the ground and the foot without the insole comes up.

It is my belief, based on my experience, that the nikken magnetic insoles improve energy flow through the feet to keep you better energized and better grounded.  Most people’s feet hurt at the end of the day if they have been on their feet all day.  The magnetic insoles help that condition.  I have heard from people who travel by plane that magnetic insoles, and other magnetic devices, help to prevent or ease the effects of jet lag.  I have even heard from some diabetic people that the insoles, and other Nikken magnetic products, have allowed them to keep their toes when they have been faced with amputation.  For their small cost they are at least worth trying.
