In his book Healing With Magnets, Dr. Null points out that magnets have been used for a long time to help horses heal and to improve performance with race horses. More recently professional athletes have been checking out the benefits of magnets for recovery and to improve their performance.

According to Dr. Null’s book, Russians may have been the first to adapt magnetic therapy for improved athletics. Since then, the use of magnets has spread and many professional athletes use them. There are a few mentioned the book but since I don’t have their permission to use their names, I won’t. There are also several athletes who use Nikken’s magnets and have become distributors. Again, since I don’t have their permission I won’t use their names, but I did find this video on the Nikken website - Who Uses Nikken?

One name that I can mention is Shannon Miller, one of the American stars in Gymnastics from the 1996 Olympics. As mentioned in the video, she is the most decorated American gymnast in history and her name is attached to one of Nikken’s magnetic bracelets.

The reason that magnets help with sports isn’t entirely known. It is thought that they may help to warm the muscles and joints allowing for better performance. Magnets may also increase bloodflow to the muscles, providing more oxygen to the cells for more strength.

As always, a disclaimer. I am an independent Nikken distributor and do not speak for Nikken. I am not a doctor and do not diagnose illness nor do I prescribe magnets for any particular condition. The results that one person has with magnets may not be the same that anyone else has.

Nikken magnets can help with post workout recovery.

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.
