Judy Dougall in Exeter and Mar- lene Zwaan in Hensall are distribu- tors ofalternative health products produced by Nikken. The products use magnets to relieve discomfort and aches caused by everyday life. "It's an experiential product," says Dougall, who believes you have to try the product before you form any opinions. She says mag- nets have worked for her. Everyday she puts two coin size magnets on her wrists to relieve the pain she e tperie es from her repetitive t,: to farm. The :nagnets are held there by a wristband. "The ache went away after I used the magnets," says Dougall. Zwaan had been experiencing pain in her knees and back for a long time. It was next to impossible to sit for long periods without feel- ing excruciating pain. She discov- ered Nikken products at a local home and garden show, and found that she could move and sit more freely after using the magnets. "If you have a sore or an ache or a discomfort on any part of your body, we would put a magnet on that part. We find that we get rid of our discomforts after using it for a year in time," says Ray Rock, an- other distributor of Nikken. "How the magnet works, we do not know." Distributors such as Dougall and Zwaan face skepticism about their product on different levels. They say that sometimes it is difficult to approach their friends and neigh- bours with the product, because all they get are "blank stares," says Zwaan. "They think you are a trav- elling salesman." The government is also very skeptical of alternative health prod- ucts. There are very strict guide- lines for what people like Dougall and Zwaan may claim with regards to magnets. They may not say any- thing that refers to "healing, thera- py, cures, or therapeutic". Pentecostal Womens Ministries EXETER - The ladies from the Womens Ministries, assembled for a luncheon at Millington's in Brucefield, May 25. The Pentecostal ladies met at the home of president Jean Triebner following the luncheon. The hymn "Hold the Fort" was sung. Mrs. Ruth McLaren prayed over the ser- vice. The roll call was taken by Mrs. Shirley Prouty, and answered by a Bible verse on "Mother". There were 13 present. It was decided in our business to send a donation to the India's Boy's School. Mrs. Dorothy Coop- er read a letter about the India's Boy's School. Mrs. Idena Desjar- dine gave a missionary reading en- titled "Doing It Right in Bulawayo Zimbubwi." • Ten clincis for seniors operating in Middlesex STRATHROY - A demonstra- tion by the leaders of HOMME's (Helping Others Maintain Mid- dlesex Elders) Wellness Clinics was presented at the annual meet- ing Tuesday in Strathroy. Christine Poier, Arva, put the ten other leaders through the simple routines designed to show the im- provement possible if seniors take advantage of the 10 clinics now operating in Middlesex. Jackie Wells, manager VON volunteer programs for Middlesex, described the rapid expansion ex- perienced by HOMME during the past fiscal year. She said the man- date was expanded to include dis- abled adults; satellite offices were established in Parkhill and Wards- ville; and the group has been asked to assist with the expansion of the Wellness program into Lambton County. Another success was obtaining the funding to expand the Meals on Wheels program into McGilliv- ray, East Williams, West Wil- liams, Adelaide and Metcalfe. In addition, there will he more train- ing for the expanding Friendly Visiting program. f sY Times -Advocate, May 31, 1995 Page 19 Mrs. Wells says she sees the cur- rent year as one in which the or- ganization will solidify its gains, and evaluate how HOMME is do- ing both from the point of view of seniors and the volunteers. For ad- ministration purposes, Middlesex is divided into three regions, each with its own co-ordinator Ross Daily, CFPL on -air personality, pointed out that only one in four Canadians are volunteers. He pre- dicted all Canadians will have to become volunteers if social servic- es are to be maintained despite government cut backs. "You don't hear any of the poli- ticians saying that," Daily said. The speaker was introduced by Grace Patrick of the Advisory Board and thanked by Bernie Ny- man, acting co-ordinator of the Southwest Region. Sandra Pear- son, vice -chairperson of the Advi- sory Committee and head of the Northwest Regional Committee, acted as chairperson of the pro- gram.
