Chris Nickolas is more than just another blackbelt in karate. As a former member of the U.S.A. Karate Team and Gold Medal Winner at the Pan American Championship, Chris has chalked up over 400 international awards in martial arts. Perhaps this is why he was recently inducted into the Martial Arts International Hall of Fame.
During the last few years, Chris has found it harder and harder to compete professionally. "Once I hit age 40, I convinced myself that I probably wouldn't win another major competition," he said. "So I was quite surprised when my twin brother Gus and I won the Gold Medal in karate during the Irish Cup competition this year." (1999)
What gave Chris and Gus the winning edge in the tournament? About one year ago, Chris and Gus began incorporating Power Meal, Be-Fit, Essential Manna, and other Young Living products into their training regimen. "I was shocked at how much of a difference they have made. They really helped improve our strength and energy levels," Chris stated. "And without a doubt, they helped Gus and me win the Gold Medal at the Irish Cup."
Now age 41, Chris never dreamed that he would still be out competing and winning. "These supplements and essential oils are just incredible," Chris said. "And they have worked for other people as well. An interesting thing that happened in Ireland concerned a gentleman who got food poisoning. When Gus gave him Mineral Essence, we were surprised how fast he recovered. I also used PanAway essential oil on the broken right toe of one of my teammates so that he could continue to fight."
The essentials that Chris and Gus rely on the most include Sulfurzyme, Power Meal, Be-Fit, Mineral Essence, raw garlic, and PanAway. They also use ParaFree and ComforTone. "When Gus and I arrived at the arena in Ireland," Chris recalled, "my heart was in my throat. I was running around checking to make sure everything was ready. I asked my brother, "Where's my Power Meal? Got it, check!" In a flash, Gus and I were back in the men's room pouring Power Meal in our drinks and blending them up. People were staring at us, but I didn't care. We even had our essential oils out, too. Hey, these are our secret weapons!"
