Such A Simple Thing To Make Such A Big Difference--Insoles!

I'm sure everyone who reads this knows at least one person with diabetes, being it now affects over 8% of the American population (23.6 million people). A common long-term complication of diabetes is Diabetic Neuropathy, which affects 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes. Diabetic Neuropathy causes pain, burning, tingling & loss of sensation in the feet (most commonly) and other areas of the body. Medications have historically not proven effective in relief of symptoms---and as we well know, they have their own 'laundry list' of side effects to deal with.

Enter a Simple, SAFE, Effective Solution: Magnetic Insoles. Now before you click the little 'X' in the corner to end your reading of this article, check out the findings from the research article below. This research was performed by a noted neurologist who initially set out to prove that magnetic insoles do not make a difference in Diabetic Neuropathy. This information can be truly life-changing and life-enhancing to so many others...please share this with others. You never know whose life you might bless!
May you enjoy a summer of great wellness---

The following is a summary of Third Phase of the Weintraub STUDY on the effects of NikkenTM Magnetic Insoles on Diabetic Neuropathy.

* Approximately 260 patients with Diabetic Neuropathy took part

* The Longitudinal Study was carried out at 83 different hospitals by their Dept. heads, according to strict randomized double-blind/placebo design

* The lead researcher was internationally known Michael Weintraub, M.D., FACP

* The results of this study (which have been tabulated and reviewed by NIH)
were reported as the Keynote Address for the annual meeting of the American College of Neurology and were published in: Archives of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation. 2003;84:736-46

RESULTS:
* 90% OF THE PATIENTS REPORTED A POSITIVE OUTCOME, I.E. REDUCTION IN DIABETIC NEUROPATHY SYMPTOMS ( numbness, tingling, burning).
* REPORTED INCREASE IN MICROCIRCULATION (foot warmth).
* REPORTED INCREASE IN BALANCE and COORDINATION.

CONCLUSIONS:
* All Magnetic Insoles are NOT created equal !
* Nikken EQL(tm) Design was THE ONLY insole that provided consistent
results.
* Use of these insoles can slow the progression of Diabetic Neuropathy and conditions related to compromised Microcirculation (Diabetic Ulcers, Gangrene) and potentially provide a reduction in foot amputations (approximately 54,000 done annually).
