I'm doing some research on bio-magnetic therapy. I use the word "research" very lightly. About three weeks ago, I was contacted by a lady selling the Nikken brand of products. My mom got into Nikken stuff about two years ago. She was impressed, but I didn't give it much thought. And to be honest, I haven't given it much thought since I was contacted, either.

I'm immediately put off from the whole "multi-level marketing" aspect. I have a difficult time believing a company can be both interested in expanding the wealth of their people and primarily concerned with the quality of their products. Not that this can't happen, mind you. I just have yet to see it.

But none the less, I'm intrigued by the notion of using magnetic energy to aid health and healing. Michael Tierra has a great feature entitled Biomagnetic and Herbal Therapy that I highly recommend reading. It's lengthy, but puts things in the light I need right now in order for them to make sense to me.

So no, I'm not hanging up my herbalist coat and donning the Nikken baseball cap. But I do think it's worthwhile to keep up on a variety of healing modalities, if nothing else than to speak intelligently to clients when they inquire. And who knows? It may be something that I someday incorporate in my practice… if I managed to get convinced.
