Courtney Watson (Head Atheltic Trainer for LA Sparks)

“Thanks so much Phiten USA. The Los Angeles Sparks absolutely LOVE your products. It gives great energy during and after basketball games.  The Titanium Discs are our favorite. They are awesome.”

Delisha Milson-Jones (LA Sparks)

“Using Phiten products have helped me tremendously. Before, during or after competion, I find myself desperately looking for my Phiten dots or knee sleeves to relieve me of my aches and pains. PHITEN ROCKS!!”

Some of our customers use our knee-high socks to help aid in circulation while traveling, and especially for long flights. Many people have let us know about how our socks helped to reduce the swelling in their feet and ankles that is caused by the elevation changes and lack of blood flow to the legs and feet during air travel. They were able to get off their plane and start their vacation on the right foot!

Other customers have let us know how much they enjoy using Phiten socks for work, especially when they have to be on their feet all day. Many people have aches and pains in the feet at the end of the day, and some of this is caused by a lack of circulation and blood flow since the feet are the furthest away from the heart. Phiten users have noticed a big difference in the lack of cramping and pain towards the end of the day, and because of this they are able to get through the work week easier.

Here is what some Phiten users had to say about our socks:

“I love using Phiten socks and tapes together whenever I go out, especially when I travel long distance, such as a flight to Las Vegas. It helps me to be able to walk longer when I use the Phiten socks.” – Fumiko K.

“I’ve been enjoying the Phiten socks. I wear them for golf and traveling. It works both on the course and in the air. My feet no longer get sore and I feel it gives me great circulation.” – Michael A.

“I first used the socks for sports, and noticed a difference the first day. Usually my feet would cramp or get sore after an hour or two, but with the socks I can play for hours pain-free!” – Richard M.

Make sure to try the socks out, and if you use the socks to help with other ailments, or have any other comments, please let us know!

James and Rona Spring, from Queensland, Australia, visited Oahu recently to participate in the 4th Annual Hibiscus Half Marathon, on June 6th, 2010.

Avid Phiten users, they stopped by the Phiten Hawaii Shop before their run to see our new products and find something to help with their different ailments. Rona Spring had actually broken her ankle just 8 weeks earlier, and needed to find something to help her get through the race. Our staff recommended the Titanium Support Compression Wrap, which can be used to support the ankle area. When they came back to the store after their run, here is what Rona had to say:

“Your products helped me to finish second in my age bracket! I couldn’t have made it through without your compression wrap on my ankle. Ever since I broke it 8 weeks ago, it has been swollen and its been tough for me to put a lot of weight on it. The compression wrap was perfect, since it provided the support I needed while also taking some of the pain away and getting rid of the swelling. I was able to finish well ahead of folks half my age!”

Congratulations Rona Spring! Here in the Phiten Hawaii Shop, we are proud to have been able to help you medal! Keep up the running, and we are happy to help you in all of your races!

People love the power sleeve.  It is used by wide range of people. I’ve seen some of the National Kendo Team members using it on their calves, some gymnastics girls in this local area, and in little league baseball.

Above is Steve Mackel of socalrunning.com

Recently, Steve Mackel reviewed the Phiten Power Sleeve at socalrunning.com.  (The video is below.) For those of you who doesn’t know Steve Mackel, he is a coach/trainer for marathon. I’ve just read his biography, but it seems that his interest goes beyond running as well. He has experience in triathlon as well as many other sports such as basketball, snowboarding, . . . and ping-pong?? (I love Ping-Pong!)  You will find his biography at socalrunning.com.

Steve’s Review:

I use them all the time. They help with pain from stunts and martial art related injuries. I recommend Phiten for anyone with back, neck, or any kind of pain!

Subarashii!

Reuben Langdon

Reuben has a  really cool website at www.reubenlangdon.com.
There you should check out both his resumes, one for stunt, and the other for acting. The most recent work on his stunt resume is Avatar. He is the stunt double for the main character.

PHITEN TITANIUM PRODUCTS FOR PAIN RELIEF
By Dr. Betty Chan Gaw

Coincidentally, I discovered Phiten USA, Inc.’s store in Torrance, California, recently. I’ve been using Phiten titanium tapes for 15 years to relieve pain in both knees due to osteoarthritis, whenever they flare up. These tapes are available in certain pharmacies and at Marukai in Torrance, as well as online. Since picking up the Phiten brochure, I now shop at the PhitenUSA, Inc., and made acquaintance with Shingo Leder, the manager and his helpful staff. When he heard of my success in achieving pain relief, he asked to place me on Phiten’s blog, which I gladly consented. Please visit, www.blog.phitenusa.com.

EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY is the heading on the Phiten brochure. By a high intensity PHILD process, the metal Titanium is dissolved in water, making Aqua-Titanium that is absorbable into fabric and made into various products for our every day use. Titanium emits energy that affects our cellular bioelectric current. It is health-giving. Our body consists of bioelectric fields, as is well known when we get our electrocardiogram or electroencephalogram done, we seethe electric patterns or waves as the muscle contracts and relaxes in sinus rhythm when the heart is beating normally. When there is no electrical flow from the heart it is known as cardiac arrest, and the EKG shows a straight line at zero level! Similarly when the EEG records no brain electrical activity, it is the finality of brain death! Life consists of electrical energy.

PAIN and DISEASE

When there is injury, inflammation, disease, or any abnormal condition, our cells go into high alert to defend itself from damage, emitting protective white blood cells, hormones and a cascade of chemicals, as well as electrical energy to help repair. Until restoration takes place, the whole physiology is in a state of disorganized flux. The tissues become swollen, red, and painful impeding function. Imaging if you twisted your ankle or dislocated your thumb, or fractured your leg. When pain is intense and chronic, the brain suffers depression, and quality of life markedly diminishes. Phiten Titanium tapes applied over the injured area, or wearing a necklace or brace imbedded with Titanium, offers electrical energy realignment to the cells’ chaotic and disorganized bioelectrical fields, by increasing blood flow, bringing in nutrients for restoration, thus relieving pain, relaxing the muscles and hastens healing. When I sleep with a Phiten shirt, my sleep is more restful and slumberous.

After my finger cyst was lanced, it was painful, so I taped it with Phiten Titanium, and it immediately became pain free, with the surgical puncture wound healing within a few hours. It normally takes a couple of days to heal. Wearing the knee braces reduced the pain of osteoarthritis, first in my left knee when I used it on a self-clinical trialbasis for 2 weeks. When I found it was efficacious, and bought another brace for the right knee, seeing that I could climb the six steps in and out of my house with 95% less pain. When pain is moderate I have the fear of tumbling down the steps, because pain weakens ambulation. I apply the Titanium tape on my shoulders and neck area for muscle stiffness and spasm secondary to using the computer 3-4 hours, and get wonderful relief.

When daughter Geri suffered from golfing pain in the arms, the Phiten Titanium elbow brace relieved her suffering immediately. She is a new believer. I advised her to stop taking Tylenol for pain relief, because it is liver toxic, and destroys cartilage in the joints. Phiten Titanium products have no side effects.

My friend’s father reports that his excruciating pain of three years suffering due to Shingles has been dramatically relieved by 75%, and he is able to regain quality of life’s functions again, a zest for living, including improved sleep. He is a new believer of Phiten Titanium products.

Athletes who push their prowess to the limits of physical endurance and strength, often suffer tissue tears, bone fractures, muscle contusions, and dislocations. Those who have discovered Phiten Titanium products, rave about their healing powers as well as dramatic pain relief, allowing them to return to competition quicker and to  normalfunctions. When you visit the Torrance store of Phi-Ten USA, Inc. on1757 W. Carson Street, Unit N, you will see pictures of athletes emblazoned on the walls and view the array of Titanium products.The phone number is (310) 783-0145, should you wish to get a free taping and demonstration.

OTHER MODALITIES OF PAIN RELIEF

ACUPUNCTURE

Traditional Chinese Medicine has employed acupuncture for healing and pain relief for many centuries. Surgery without anesthesia is accomplished by this modality. Needles are placed in the body’s crucial meridians and stimulated to achieve the healing effect. Again, the bioelectrical energy system is reorganized to achieve healing by the body. The down side to acupuncture is its high cost, time involved lying on the couch whilst the needles are placed by the acupuncturist, and the repeated treatments necessary to achieve full recovery. My late mother received acupuncture treatments every week for pain relief from cancer. She did not require morphine until she was hospitalized. Research studies show that about 70% of people respond to acupuncture, 30% do not.

The PHILIP STEIN TESLAR CHIPS embedded into the watch, modulates the electromagnetic energy fields in the body by realigning them when there is illness, injury, electronic pollution, and other stresses in life. When I removed this watch from my wrist, within two weeks my osteoarthritis knee pain increased from a 1-2 level to 5-6, out of 10. This is the first watch with health issues built into it. I’ve been wearing this watch since January 2008 with health-giving benefits. www.philipsteinteslar.com to learn more.

Zen meditation also relieves pain, as does Hypnosis. Both modalities employ the brain in controlling pain.

Conclusion

Instead of keeping a bottle of Tylenol at home for relief of headaches, muscle pain or arthritis, use Phiten Titanium tape that gives relief without any known side effects. Any pain needs professional care, so do not ignore pain, which is nature’s way of calling attention to alert you. In medicine, every physician took the oath of “First Do No Harm”. Thus I would choose Phiten Titanium products for my pain relief of tension neck ache, osteoarthritis, and even minor trip and fall injuries, before swallowing potentially toxic pills.Healthy alternatives that work with nature, heals faster, restoring the tissues to its physiologic statewithout poisoning the body.

I discovered Phiten on a recent trip to Tokyo, Japan.  I was experiencing a sore and stiff neck from the long trip.  I had heard of the Phiten product, but had never experienced it.  I was extremely impressed with the in store demonstration that was performed on me.  This 5 minute demonstration opened my eyes.  I even went so far as to leave the store and return with my friend who did not believe in the product.  After my friend went through the same 5 minute demo, he left the store unable to explain the phenomenon that had just happened to him.  I have made a point to wear my Phiten necklaces on a daily basis.  I feel that I get better sleep at night, which lets me feel better through the whole day.  The Phiten necklaces help me to perform better on the softball field.  Even more importantly, they help me to recover after a long tournament.  I would highly recommend all of the Phiten products to anyone looking to elevate their game and improve their quality of life.

LAPD Detective – Richard Bengston/Robbery-Homicide Division

Thank you for your testimonial Detective Richard.

Many of us have, or have had in the past, a stiff neck. Stiff necks are no joke. It may start with a little discomfort, then as you try and ignore it, you become irritated that you are having a hard time concentrating on a task. It makes it hard to enjoy life when you have something constantly bothering you.

Many people have been using the Phiten Necklace for resolving stiff necks. With the higher strength Necklaces, such as the X30 Series, you can expect a much better result than its predecessors.

I, Betty Chan Gaw, M.D. have been using Phiten Titanium Roll Tape for my knee arthritis for 15 years, and find it to be efficacious for pain relief. As a result, I have recommended it to family, friends and patients who get pain relief from using it, and continue to use it. It is surprising that the Titanium in the tape helps reduce pain and inflammation, allowing for increased mobility, comfort and tissue healing.

Thank you Betty, for your testimonial.

Betty retired, and is currently conducting a research on anti-aging.  It surprised me when she and her husband told me their age. Every day at the shop I see people that are much younger than Betty but who seem much older with many physical problems. However, Betty and her husband are both sharp and look much younger that you’d expect – seems like they are onto something there.

Betty is the result of a person who took care of her health very well, and she still does.  We’re glad to know that Phiten products help support her healthy and active lifestyle.
