When
the Japanese created Nikken in 1975 it was based on
a long tradition of magnetic healing in the Asian
culture. The company made $700 million in Japan last
year alone.
Because
of the boom in complimentary therapies in the United
States during the last 25 years, Nikken had a perfectly
timed entrance into this market in 1989. Currently,
Nikken reports that 30,000 distributors are active
in this country.
Nikken
got me. Yes, I was gullible because I live with chronic
pain and I’ll look at any solution that’s
not a drug. In the American culture that doesn’t
leave much short of a hot water bottle, so Nikken
sounded like the miracle I wanted. I purchased the
demo kit at almost $400.00, the intro sales kit at
$49.95, and a space age memory foam magnetic mattress
for $1,200.00. I love the mattress and I am still
using it to this day. Does it work? I have no idea.
It’s so comfortable because of the memory foam
construction that I have no clue if the magnets work
at all. I actually gave my demo kit away to my massage
therapist who has yet to use it.
I
have never done any Nikken demos because I am uncomfortable
acting as a consultant/therapist because I am not
licensed as such. Be sure to consider the potential
liability if you injured someone that was already
in pain.
You
can review the business opportunity at their website,
and there you can also review and contact United States
distributors, see the incentive programs etc. I would
fully consider what selling magnets to this market
would mean, and also consider carefully the scientific
evidence behind magnetic therapy before making any
claims to potential clients.
