Our beautiful granddaughter, who is a Down Syndrome child (6), is using some of
the Nikken products. The Kidstrides
Kidstrides have been very helpful to her with her gait
and balance. She could not jump up off the ground until the day we put the
Kidstrides in her shoes. She sleeps on the KenkoPad
KenkoPad and under the
Kenko Dream Comforter
Kenko Dream Comforter, which, when she was younger, helped with her
acid reflux
(GERD), a common
ailment in babies with DS. My daughter has sent several of her friends the
comforter to put in the crib of their DS babies (this works well also with
typical children). My grandson spit up a lot as a baby and as soon as he laid on
the comforter it stopped.

Towards the end of August '06 I became familiar with Nikken. My first purchase
was the CM Complex Skin Cream
CM Complex Skin Cream. This is a wonder cream. I have used it for headaches, cold
sores, cuts, bruises, leg
cramps, joint pain and more. I then purchased Magsteps
Magsteps for my family. My husband
is a diabetic and has had
neuropathy in his right foot for quite some time.
After wearing the insoles for a couple of days, it was wonderful to have him
inform me that the feeling was returning to his foot. With the results from the
insoles, I decided to purchase a Sports Bracelet
Sports Bracelet for my Down Syndrome
daughter, whom suffered a stroke in 2002. She had recovered quite well except
for the little finger on her left hand had no movement and was numb. After
wearing the bracelet for 6 days she was able to move her hand and fingers the same as before the stroke.

So far I have reconstructed one KenkoSeat
KenkoSeat into three small ones and the children
really like them. The teachers are using the seats and Kidstrides
Kidstrides for a few
children. This week the PiMag Aqua Pour
PiMag Aqua Pour Gravity System will arrive in the classroom. The most
dramatic results so far is a 4-year-old girl with Down Syndrome who had
never slept through the night. She spent 8 nights on the
sleep system
Kenko Sleep System. She slept
through, waking once or not at all. Her mom is a single parent and is working on
how to fund this. Her doctor wrote a prescription for it! She has also been
wearing the insoles, which mom feels are helping her during the day to be calmer
and more focused. Her teachers have noticed a profound difference in her
behavior.
