Dear Pepper
Thank you for advancing the Nikken cause with specialized professionals in your area. With this note I will include a couple of photo evidence stories that could pertain to the area of expertise of your friend, and some anecdotal experiences. Unfortunately, though there are possibly full-on studies done on some of these specific effects, I was not able to put my fingers on them just yet. That can be seen as a big opportunity if you like the advantage of being the first to get you hands on something new. We call the use of these devices, simple, natural, "corrections" to our environmental, stress and lifestyle problems that seem to allow the body to much more easily do what it was designed to do and minimizing the interference of the environments around the body.. These ideas and concepts are new enough in the US that likely only a couple of people out of a hundred will have any knowledge of the use of these fields here in the US but they are used extensively, studied in University settings, and researched and distributed as "Medical Devices" in Japan. Nikken is considered as something like the "Johnson and Johnson" of Japan but is also well tested, is at the forefront of Japanese medicine and has been as high as the 14th largest company in Japan, winning the Emperor's Award as the fastest company in Japan from zero to $1 Billion in one year. To date the safety records for their use are astounding with over 50 million world wide customers, over a 35 year period and no known side effects with the use of the devices or technologies. To clarify, we are simply reporting effects that certain medical professionals may find interesting. They may use the technologies in any myriad of procedures as their own licensing entities allow. Though there are no restrictions to distribution through the lay population, doing over $650 million in yearly sales with less than 2 out of 1000 people even knowing the name of the company yet, we think this could be the biggest boon to the struggling health care system since penicillin. Studies done by third party investigators with no ties to Nikken. or financial gain from Nikken, are welcomed and though we have seven double blinded studies done by researchers in various other areas that were conducted, and published in various medical journals, many thousands more could be conducted if they wished. The studies are done in areas like, diabetic neuropathy, degenerative joint disease, post polio syndrome, and the like. Below is a link to some of the studies and references to other articles about the technologies and concepts we are using. (http://www.ihfglobal.com/education.html) ; We generally just highlight personal experiences that we have run across as we are not trying to imply any medical benefits. If there are things that appear to be medical benefits, we have to say that they seem to be happy coincidences that people have found when using our products with the claim that they "MAY be able to help one feel more relaxed or comfortable". Any implications surmised by a medical professional are entirely due to their skills of assessment and scope of practice and in no way imply by us that these technologies have anything to do with healing or curing anything. The combination of the FIR and the magnetic materials are used together usually in my experiences with wound and injury cases and below I am giving you a narative of the attached photos and information. .. The first two of the attachments is with my daughter and the photo's show the vehicle she was sitting in when hit by a Ford Pick-up at 65 mph. She was in the passenger side that got hit . In the second attachment you can see that she had hundreds of stitches in her forehead and we applied the elastomag sleep mask to her face over the wound (outside the gause) and you can see the resultant reduction of the bruising after only one day! (yellow spots on the cheek bones where the previous bruising was disipating much faster than expected, and note a remarkable lack of redness, swelling and bruising around the soutures.) The second shot is a few months later. Notice the quality of the scarring. (she is the one on the right). The third attachment is self explanatory and looks at the reduction in the bruising of the ankle in the lower (L) picture. This is a common occurance and very much reproducible, in both people and animals. On the same page, the other three shots are of a failed skin graft, and shows the effect of the magnetic pad over the wound after abandoning a failed third attempt to get the graft to take. Notice that the wound is epithelialising after 10 days with no graft and in 1 month had completely healed. The fourth is a look at psoriasis with just the application of infrared light on half the face. There is a commentary of that procedure and picture of that result. The fifth is a look at a severe and gangrenous wound from a horse kick to the head and the ensuing healing with a combination of Magnetic and infrared applications. The final attachment is one of a young lady who went through the windshield of her car on her honeymoon. Notice the dates and the lack of swelling after surgeries to do boney repairs on the eye socket, the fractured Vomer, and dislocation of the Cartiledge of the nose. I hope that you find these observations stimulating and that you might discover applications we have not even begun to imagine. There are very simple, flexible pads similar to the consistency of thin neoprene that have a combination of the two technologies in them that might work well in the dressings after a procedure, along with a number of other products that could be used in smaller, or larger surface areas. I have heard of a maxo-fascial surgeon in So. Cal. that swears by placing some of this stuff in the dressings after procedures. He is very impressed with the dramatic reduction in swelling, infection, and discoleration. Most who use these and the PowerPatches and Biaxial PowerMag see a significant reduction in the need for pain meds. If you would like to further pursue any questions, I would very much enjoy a conversation and look forward to the good you are going to do with the people in and around Nashville, and what you come up with may well be some great new ideas for use around the world. Very Sincerely
