Hi, my name is Lalita and I live in Hobart, Tasmania.

At the young age of forty, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Lupus/Fibromyalgia. Waiting four years for a diagnosis had left me with most of the organs of my body beginning to shut down. I had inflammation around the heart and lungs, which left me exhausted after a short walk, I was up three or four times through the night with kidney problems, had throbbing headaches all day, suffered extreme fatigue, was sleep deprived, experiencing severe memory loss, as well as excruciating agony in all my joints & muscles. Specialists had recommended multiple joint replacements in my knees, hips and shoulders, as well as major spinal surgery.

Battling severe depression and the side effects of multiple medications including Morphine and Cortisone, I could no longer continue working in my business and no longer had the quality of life that I previously enjoyed.

As well as conventional medicine, I tried many other therapies to manage my condition, including acupuncture, osteopathy, Bowen therapy, homeopathy, chiropractors, Chinese herbs, diets, vitamin and mineral supplements. You name it and I tried it.

My days were spent in a haze and I was mostly confined to mybed or electric reclining chair. I battled to stay out of a wheelchair and used a walking stick, hunched over and shuffling around like a ninety year old.

Mentally, physically and spiritually after eight years of torture, I had given up hope that anything could help me and was trying to come to terms with the fact that I was destined to live the rest of my life in this state. I was completely despondent, lost my will to live and contemplated Voluntary Euthanasia.

In September 2003, my son Dean mentioned to me about a Japanese Health company called Nikken and their amazing Sleep System. He was very excited because he had heard that people in my situation had experienced amazing results. Some very caring Nikken consultants offered to loan me one and I half-heartedly accepted it, not really believing that it would help.

What a revelation to find that the first night on the Sleep System I slept all night! I awoke feeling completely rested and experienced a wonderful sense of wellbeing and energy throughout the next day. Much to my surprise every night after that was the same. I experienced a healing process for a short time and knew then that I was getting better. Four weeks passed and miraculously I was able to stop all my medication. I haven't needed to go back to any of my health workers for treatment since and have not had any surgery. I am now the proud owner of a Nikken Wellness Home and continue to improve. It has been nearly two years since I got my life back and not a day goes by that I don't feel incredible gratitude towards the people who made the impossible possible for me.

I am now a Wellness Consultant with Nikken and have joined their Mission for world health. I am committed to helping one million people improve their health and gain financial freedom before I die. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
