The variety of stories about Nikken products and the impact on young people is endless. Whether it’s hydration to end hyperactivity, magnetics to alter sleep disruptions, or some basic nutrition changes to eliminate low iron levels, a wellness home can impact everyone who lives there. If you’ve got a story from your home or one that you’ve heard, let’s share them.

Legacy Part 3

Years ago I remember Roger Drummer saying that as important as it is to create an environment for healthy children, we must first focus on the adults who are creating that for the next generation. While we are seeing a huge rise in alternative healthy foods, we seem to be going backwards with the other negative environmental issues such as 5G, more access to Wi-Fi, smaller devices to be ‘plugged in’, etc. It was ten years ago when I first saw the four minute video by Healthy Child, Healthy World called A Wake Up Story. Chemicals are one thing, but today it’s much worse with the electronic chemicals that can fill our homes.

It was my friend Barb Satterwhite (RN) who asked me the question, ‘do you know where in your home you are most subject to electronic poisoning?’ She went onto share that while things like excessive use of microwaves are terrible for food nutrients, things like an electronic can opener, smart meters, and other electronic devices produce negative EMF’s which impact our homes terribly.

Nikken allows us to alter the environment where we live by creating literal places of refuge for ourselves and the next generation. I spoke to a customer this week who told me all about grounding, but only in the summer because it gets too cold in the winter to walk around barefoot. She’s looking at the Kenko Ground. Another customer who loves camping shared that he is considering to moving to a more tolerable climate so he can camp year round. He paid me cash for the Kenko Ground and couldn’t wait to get it.

It’s more than just a grounding device when it’s combined with all the other products of a wellness home. When we start making improvements, our havens will be altered for the better by allowing a connection to the ground to pull the inflammation from our bodies. Just ask Ron Clark who even in a wellness home was still suffering from arthritis in his hands, neck, and shoulders. He’s so excited about the results he’s getting with the Kenko Ground that he’s assembling a collection of stories. Please email him yours today so we can improve the legacy of lives! rclarkrn@sbcglobal.net

Nikken for kids. At least once a month I’m asked how we’ve used the Nikken products for our girls. It’s really simple to create a wellness environment for them, simply do what we’ve been doing for ourselves and they’ll think that’s the norm. Whether it’s the nutritionals or skin care, the sleep system or the water, we get to pass onto the next generation the value of amazing solutions when we make an investment into them. How to get the right dosage of vitamins and creative ways of implementation for kids is something that pays off richly.

Legacy Part 2

As I sat on the ridge of what’s called ‘God’s Thumb’ in Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast last Saturday, I couldn’t help but take it all in. Slight breeze, sheer cliffs on every side, amazing view of the coastline, and two of our three daughters sharing it with me. And in the midst of all this, it was the words of our 20 year old that literally made the experience one that I’ll never forget.

‘How fitting to be sitting on God’s Thumb, a king and his princess’. Kenna said this as her sister Emily snapped the photo to capture the moment forever.

Yes, it was Father’s Day weekend and yet there was way more than just one day to celebrate. Stacey and I have worked very hard attempting to live out the 5 Pillars of Health ensuring that our daughters see models of balance. It’s not easy, yet it becomes easier when we’re honest with our shortcomings and we’re willing to improve in each area. Just as gardening in the summer months produces beautiful flowers or yummy vegetables because of time & elbow grease, when we invest in relationships, we will enjoy a legacy that will live on long after us.

Legacy and Chris Bruce on Saturday AM Live

Click Here to Listen to this weeks call With Chris Bruce.

"Robert The Bruce was a major player several hundred years ago who helped shape the country of Scotland. Chris Bruce is doing the same thing in Nikken(though not with a sword) as a direct descendant of the Scottish King and son-in-law of Dave and Valerie Johnson. I was perplexed by his famous legacy that started back in the 1200’s and how he does simple things everyday to make a difference in the lives of others."

"Legacy

In a few minutes I will say farewell to our Korean exchange student who has lived with our family for the last five months. During this time I have learned much about another country that I was completely unfamiliar with other than Kia automobiles were manufactured there. Actually, truth be told, I really didn’t even know that.

What I did know is that Nikken manufactures quite a few of our products in South Korea. Asian countries all have their own unique traits and the one thing in common is a rich history of culture and tradition. I find it fascinating that as we as a company are just a few years shy of 50 years old, yet we can tap into the legacy of a small country that has endured many ups and downs while still being a powerhouse player on the world market.

Part of my mission statement that I wrote after my first Humans Being More experience in 1994 includes the phrase ‘to leave a legacy for future generations’. While I don’t know exactly what that looks like, I know that everyday I have the opportunity to make small decisions that will have lasting impact. Or as our pastor says, ‘It’s not the perfection of our lives, but the direction’.

Having a focus on the 5 Pillars of Health causes one to consider the legacy that we will leave. Five months isn’t a long time, but I know our family is richer because we chose to step out and invite in a stranger to our already over active lifestyle. Yep, as I learned a long time ago, it’s not about what happens when we get into Nikken, it’s when Nikken gets into us that things really get exciting!"

"Summer Fun!

Gardening, walks in the park, exterior home improvements, etc seem to fill our evenings and weekends. This is the time of year where most of us get outside and enjoy nature to it’s fullest. Since being educated on the concept of grounding, I’ll admit that I’ve sought out chunks of grass to sit or lie down on. It’s truly amazing the benefit.

For some though, as the Top Gun movie song says, they’ve lost that loving feeling. They’ve forgotten how great nature can be and due to physical issues, they couldn’t enjoy it even if they wanted to. Their physical problems create limitations that impair their ability to enjoy as God intended us to enjoy it.

Our oldest daughter’s friend paid me a great compliment this week by saying, ‘you’d be great at rock climbing and you should go with us next time’. The more I thought about it, the more I was grateful for Nikken’s products and the ability we have to tap into the benefits of a Wellness Home. Great sleep, water, air, and nutrients are things that we take for granted because we’ve tweaked our home by making the investment into simple solutions that create an environment of wellness. I’ve never done any rock climbing and at 50 I’m not sure it’s a great time to start, but the encouragement of a 20 year old may just spar me on.

Do we see people as potential customers when they don’t know about Nikken? While it’s good to do this, it’s far better to think about what they’re missing out on. As we gather at graduation parties and other events, it’s often the best time to ask people what they’re going to do or not going to do this summer. And then share why we’re able to do what we can because of Nikken because we’ve brought all of nature’s earth technologies inside to enjoy all year round."

Are You Fit or Fat? by Laurie Jones & Sandy Martin on Saturday AM Live

Laurie Jones

Click Here to Listen to This Weeks Call with two Ladies that know a thing or two about releasing weight.

"Laurie Jones and Sandy Martin are two ladies who encourage me daily. I don’t get to talk with them every day, but their example is what challenges me to take care of this temple where I live. Laurie has dropped over 100 pounds that she carried for decades and Sandy has maintained a super active lifestyle in an amazingly fit 70’s body. Both of them have incredible wisdom to share with us that I think is really beneficial to not only sharing Nikken with others, but to use every day to enjoy the bodies God gave us."

"Fit or Fat?

I observed something this week that a photo would have added complete commentary to the experience, but I think I can describe it so that you get the idea of the irony.  A gentleman driving a Smart car pulled into a bottle/can recycling center.  As I looked closer to watch, I could see several bags of empty soda and beer cans in the passenger seat and the small area behind the seats.  The irony is that this person obviously was wise about his investment in a very efficient vehicle and yet not so much in his consumption of beverages.  And here’s the kicker…. I would have guessed his weight in excess of 300 pounds.

I’ve shared that story with two different people this week and received two completely different responses.  The first person felt sorry for this individual due to their size and maybe lack of knowledge of the negative impact of beer/soda consumption.  They went on to comment how abusive we are on our bodies by carrying extra weight and how a simple choice to eliminate sugary drinks and limit alcohol could make a huge difference. The second person literally attacked me that I would even mention the size of the man. They listed all the possible reasons why this man could be this size and criticized me for looking at him this way.

A few years ago I was that man.  I carried an extra 50 pounds on my small body and I’m sure that it contributed to some of the knee and lower back issues I have today.  Thankfully, Nikken has allowed me to make a change.  I went from the fat to fit category over a process of time and for the last several years I’ve been able to enjoy a much better quality of life.  I routinely get comments about being skinny or that I must be one of those lucky people who can eat anything without gaining a pound.

Consuming half my body weight in ounces of PiMag water every day and starting my day with easily digestible protein like what's in the KVB has been my secret weapon.  That’s it!  No extreme diet plan, coaching, exercise routine, etc.. I don’t make the excuses I used to make or justify eating processed junk.  It’s as simple as eating real food, but the real key again is starting the day with easily digestible protein.  Feed the brain early and it’ll take care of the body all day long.

I don’t obsess over people’s size, I simply notice people and my heart breaks for people who are trapped like I was.  It’s very challenging because so many emotional issues are involved with over-eating or poor eating.  Fortunately, Nikken has given us a simple solution to share with others.
