Autoimmune Disorders
This very unique Chi Machine has changed the quality of my life so that I am truly in awe. I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus or SLE over 10 years ago and have sought to restore my health from all the medical profession has to offer. When you came to my home, I had just discussed with my doctor what could be done to help me with my muscle, joint and all over body pain. I knew that medicine could be a problem and always wanted alternatives. I find that the motion of the machine feels similar to an all over body massage. I think it increases my blood circulation that in turn gives me some pain relief. The pain seems to be reduced to the point that it is now manageable. I truly enjoy the relaxation and find the feeling after the machine shuts off very pleasant. It seems to align my spine and I have also noticed some decrease in my abdomen. It has also helped with my fluid retention so that I have lost a few pounds. Also, I have noticed that I have more energy. I am monitoring my improvement very closely and I intend to keep you posted on the benefits of this wonderful therapy. One of the most exciting things that The Chi Machine has done for me is that I can now get up and down. About a year ago I lost so much mobility I could no longer get up and down. If I lowered to a squatting position my legs could not push me back up. After one week, using the machine several times each day, I noticed I could get up and down better and I soon discovered I could do several knee bends without stopping. I am truly amazed and so joyful for all the aid the machine has given to me.I truly feel grateful to you for being the instrument God used to bring this machine to me.

Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain
After the first time used the Chi Machine my neck problem disappeared. Over the last six months my allergies have got better and I have had none of the usual winter colds and flu. I feel very fit and healthy.

Mr J. S., Yorkshire, UK

As an ex-dancer at the age of 51, my body's beginning to stiffen up a bit. The first thing I noticed about the Chi Machine was that my back, neck and shoulders have become supple again. Now, as a busy primary school teacher, a job that requires a lot of energy, I wouldn’t be without 15 minutes on my machine every morning.

Mrs S. C., Kent, UK

I have spent a great deal of money over the years on various alternative treatments to relieve my constant back pain, however since I have been using The Chi Machine I have gained enormous relief, my back has not felt this good for years.

Mr I E, Merseyside, UK

I had constant pain from a neck and shoulder problem. X-ray results revealed degenerative changes with disc space narrowing and osteophytosis particularly at C6/7, Partial congenital fusion of C2/3. I needed regular osteopathy treatment and was told there was no cure as it was wear and tear. I have had my Chi Machine for 18 months and since then I have not needed to visit my osteopath. I am totally free from pain, also I have stayed free of colds and flu, and my energy levels have improved greatly.

V.T., Flintshire, UK

As a result of being blown from the roof in May 1996 I fractured my spine and left shoulder. The fractures healed well but the shoulder would only return to 80% normal function after fourteen months. Having used The Chi Machine twice daily for several weeks, the last twenty degrees of motion (abduction) in my left shoulder was restored. Although I had extensive chiropractic care and acupuncture as well as swimming and other rehabilitation work, the final return to normal function of my left shoulder has only been accomplished using this fantastic little machine. Over the years we have looked at so many physiological therapeutic aids to assist and compliment the chiropractic adjustment but we haven’t found anything that has been truly effective until now. I have personally found an added benefit in the relaxation and meditation state one can enter while using The Chi Machine which has been a major plus in the healing process. The feeling of calmness I attain is valuable in a busy world.

The Chi Machine, I can recommend it with no doubt in my mind as to its benefits, I have used this machine for therapeutic and health maintaining purposes. It helps physical recovery and can contribute to rejuvenation, it also is good in stress management both mental and physical, and last but not least it gives one a sense of physical and mental well being. The Chi Machine is the best thing I have ever done for myself in years! Twenty-eight years ago I was pregnant with my first child and I weighed 99 lbs. The baby grew to 9 lbs in less than 9 months! As she grew my bones were softening to get ready for delivery, my back swayed inward, I carried 40 extra pounds in my stomach and I started to waddle as well!! After having a c-section to deliver my baby, I got a migraine that lasted 10 days, and I have suffered for the past 28 years thereafter. After my second child, I gained weight and my figure continually became pear shaped and sedentary.
I would spend 3 to 6 days in bed every other week for years. Then, 5 years ago, the migraines started happening every week, so I spent more time in bed, I weigh 165 lbs now, and I feel as though I slept through my life. Meanwhile, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and severe emphysema. A friend brought over The Chi Machine for him! I tried it for myself for 2 minutes, and it was very difficult for me to stay on my back any longer. When I got up, I had a slight headache, but one Tylenol took care of it! That headache was different because any slight headache becomes a migraine in my life. The next day I tried it again for two minutes and, once again, a slight headache but no migraine- I was reminded that any natural healing is liable to get worse before there are any results! My neck muscles were sore and I could hear crackling in my neck. The vertebra at the base of ray skull was moving! I have had a number of chiropractic and massage therapists try to move my vertebrae during the years. They were not successful. Now it's moving!
I then bought The Chi Machine for myself and continued to use it. I had to tell everyone, that I made one mistake of trying to “work through the pain" only once, I can now tell you if your muscles hurt, cut your time in half just like the book says, and start slower. I have been using The Chi Machine for 4 months, and have not had another migraine in the past two months! The last migraine I experienced, I challenged it as a woman and I worked up to 15 minutes a day. Now I am doing 4 minutes in the morning, and 6 minutes at night. Every joint in my body is moving the right way! I am also walking well for the first time in 28 years, and I can lie on my back for over an hour! I am also getting my shape back. I even have a waistline again! I don’t recall how much I weigh, but I don't feel heavy like before. I can wear a belt and it doesn't look like a ribbon on a box! I've a pain in my tailbone for the past month that is subsiding now! The Chi Machine has helped me start walking right and feeling more like myself everyday. I want to tell everyone that I feel like "Rip Van Winkle!" All my friends are noticing my improvements and want The Chi Machine too! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!

Cheri Enfield, Arthur, Nebraska, USA

I was in a bad accident back in 1976. I was driving a straight job truck, which is a smaller version of the semi, and I pulled out in front of a semi. The impact was so great that it thrust me through the top of the cab breaking my neck and crushing the right side of my head. I was told that the doctor used a plunger to put my head back in shape. I have had severe back, neck and head pain for 24 years. Well, I was introduced to The Chi Machine and the HotHouse so I went to a meeting to see what it was all about. My first thoughts were that I had to sit for an hour and a half in severe pain without a cigarette. Halfway through the meeting I told the speaker that I was in a lot of pain. He went and got The Chi Machine. I was on The Chi Machine for 2 minutes. Then I went to the HotHouse and was under that for 10 minutes. When I was done, I had more movement in my neck than I had in 24 years. I also had pain in my arms that just hurt to tuck in my shirt and that pain was completely gone. I stayed at the meeting for 3 hours and never craved a cigarette or had any pain standing or sitting. I did, however, have pain in the top of my head, which lasted about 1.5 days. I ordered The Chi Machine and now, after using it, I am full of energy all day long. I feel like I have a new life thanks to The Chi Machine and the HotHouse.

I am writing to tell you of my good experience using The Chi Machine and the HotHouse. Both have helped me at different times with various problems. Being an electrician, I do a lot of reaching and bending. A couple of months ago, my shoulder was so painful, I couldn't lift my arm without a lot of pain. The last time this happened, I couldn't get my arm up without a lot of pain. The last time this happened I had to get a cortisone shot. I told my wife I was going to have to go to the doctor because of the pain. My wife mentioned she had heard of someone else getting help with his or her shoulder with The Chi Machine, as we had already purchased one. I decided to give it a try. It was on Saturday that I first tried it. By first putting my forearm on The Chi Machine for 20 minutes, a couple of hours after the first treatment I felt some relief. I continued using it once a day for 20 minutes and by Thursday of the following week I had no pain at all and could move my arm in any direction and I didn't 1ose any work. During the Chi treatment I found that using a pillow for support of my hand made it more comfortable. I put The Chi Machine on the table to make it easier to use and made sure I drank the water before and after. Also, I made sure I didn't move my arm after The Chi Machine stopped for about 3 minutes. We also purchased a HotHouse. It has helped my back and neck. I have had a back fusion and I also have a bulging disk, plus chronic neck pain at times. When I had a lot of pain, I felt I would probably need more back or neck surgery. Since using the HotHouse, I feel it is helping me so much and I don't think I need any further surgery for those problems.

I am not sure just where to begin, so I guess I will go back to about this time last year in 1999. Frank had gotten real sick with a viral infection in his lower intestines. He almost died, as you know how stubborn men can get about going to the doctor. Well, I got him to the hospital finally and with some proper medication he started to get better, only to drop his small motorcycle on his ankle while at a service station fueling. This put him on crutches for several weeks, at which time, since he was unable to use that leg, he started losing all his leg muscles. By the time he was off the crutches and had graduated to a cane he was starting to get weaker and just not feeling very well at all. One day he would be worse than the other and then he would have a few good days and then bang he would not even feel like getting out of bed that day. Finally he started feeling well enough (or so he thought) to go out on a few holidays. So off to B.C. we went.
Our third day at the west coast, he started having bladder problems and the water works department was on and off with him. He had laid down for an afternoon nap at the campground when he had to go the bathroom, and couldn't. His water works had shut down completely. So I he was rushed to the nearest hospital, which was in Chilliwack. Hours later they let him leave, but not before the urologist fitted him with a catheter and got the water works to work once again, and they sent us back to Alberta to see our own local doctor. So of course back to Alberta we came, where the local urologist had all the tests done before he could get scheduled into the hospital for an operation on his prostate. Finally four weeks later the operation was done with great success and no signs of cancer, only to find that he had a bladder stone the size of his thumb. These we are told are very rare. One in five hundred people get one. So because there was so much blood in the first major operation, they had him come back 8 days later for another major operation on the stone. This put him back in bed where he was pretty much bed ridden for another six weeks. By now he has been bed ridden for close to four months, so the injured leg from the mishap in June was now almost non-existent as his muscles were completely gone from no exercise.

Then one day Ken brought over The Chi Machine for Frank to use. Well, after just three times on the machine, Frank notices that his leg was a bit better and that he finally had some feeling in it. I might add that with all his sickness, Frank had lost 40 lbs, which was 38 more than he could afford to lose as he is quite small to begin with, and from this, gout had set in so bad that he was having trouble standing up. Walking without a cane was impossible. He has continued to use The Chi Machine daily and his legs are getting better with each passing day and the muscles are finally starting to do their part. We are so thankful for introducing us to this machine that we would recommend it to anyone who has any ailment. Things seem to be coming along just fine and then we were introduced to the HotHouse. So when we tried it for a couple of days, Frank was under it for an hour at a time. After just one hour of treatment he was walking a lot better. The gout pain seems to have subsided a lot and even the water works department was feeling better instead of getting up three to four times during the night. Now he only gets up once. What a difference that HotHouse has made!
I figured that if it was working so well on Frank that I should try these machines on my foot that was giving me some problems. Seems that the doctor figured that I now have flat feet, and from walking a lot my foot had become inflamed. The Chi Machine got oxygen into my system and the inflammation started going away, and after six or seven times on the machine I was walking like I had been doing it for years with no soreness coming back. Well, when the HotHouse came, I figured that this might help my knees that have been giving me problems since I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Wow, with just one 15-minute treatment I was out jogging around the West Side Lake, which I have been unable to do for 5 or 6 years, This machine is wonderful. We were so impressed that we now have our own, so that we can use it daily. The only way to describe The Chi Machine and the HotHouse is that you should not be without one! Thank you again Ken & Leanne!!

I thought that you might be interested with my experience of the Chi Machine. I damaged the ligaments of the joint between my last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. Fluid collected at the site of the injury. I was told that any twisting of my back could make the damage worse and the fluid would press on the sciatic nerve, resulting in a very sharp pain down my leg. I stopped using the Chi Machine as I erroneously thought that it would cause trouble. After two weeks, I rang you to be told that it would disperse the fluid. So, as you suggested, I reduced the time spent on it to one minute only and then gradually increased the time. I am now using it three times a day, five minutes a session. Within days, the fluid had dispersed and the ligaments started to heal. Three weeks later I can report that my back feels normal and no sciatic pain. The Chi Machine is a wonderful help to returning to full health. Please quote me to anyone who would be interested in my experiences. Once again, thanks for your advice.

I retired from my work as a chiropodist prematurely because of severe pain, stiffness and spasm in my neck and shoulders brought on by the postural stresses of the work and from the mysterious and troublesome condition dystonia (spasmodic torticollis). A fellow therapist recommended the machine to me. It is gradually helping my neck and shoulders to feel more comfortable, relaxed and integrated. I wish I'd known about it years ago.

Doctors stress the importance of spinal traction and the adjustment of bones and muscles. An improperly aligned spine leads to sore bones and problems in the main and collateral channels, as well as in the vital organs of the body. Thus, if the spine is out of proper alignment, it can cause such things as migraines, inflammation of the shoulder, spurs, sciatica, stomach aches, gout, and joint pain. These problems can all occur because nerves radiate from the spine to the vital body organs.
The nervous system is the brain's communication system. A crooked spine constricts the peripheral nervous system radiating from it, and if that happens to extend to the stomach, the stomach will be pathologically changed. Vital organs will ache. Severe symptoms such as sciatica and spurs can result. Sciatica patients can be successfully treated by using the Chi Machine for 3 months so long as the 2nd and 5th sacrum joints are not deformed.
 
A doctor who won the Nobel Prize for brain research, made this statement: "Better than 90% of the energy output of the brain is used in relating the physical body to its gravitational field. The more mechanically distorted a person is, the less energy is available for thinking, metabolism, and healing." It is amazing that 90% of brain activity is used just to keep us upright against gravity! This also explains why distortions in the body can have such far-reaching effects and it shows how the Chi Machine can have such an overall effect on the body. As it relaxes the spinal muscles, this begins to remove the spinal distortions and so the body naturally has more energy available for thinking, metabolism, and healing.
“An electromylograph records the difference in electrical potential and heat difference of the spine and compares the right to the left. The information goes into a computer which gives us a colour print-out of the findings. I had one of these done on my daughter before she went on the Chi Machine for the first time. She was treated for 4 minutes on the Chi Machine followed by another scan on her spine. The difference was astounding! I don't mean to imply that everything was better, but the changes were certainly dramatic!”

In 1987 Connie was injured in a car accident that injured her scapula. She was in constant pain until she started using the Chi Machine. She has also suffered for years with sciatica and again the Chi Machine helped with this also. After using the Chi machine for 2 months she is a different person. She no longer suffers with backaches or sciatica and is more supple. There were times when she could hardly walk.
Connie reports feeling better than she has done in years. She uses her machine for 10-15 minutes at least twice a day and when she has pain — day or night — she uses it for a few minutes.

Vickie has had her Chi Machine since July 1999, when she had a severe problem. Her chiropractor had her use the Chi Machine before he gave her an adjustment. She was so pleased with the results that she bought a Chi Machine from him. Later, she travelled to Florida to see her son who had had back surgery three times. At that time he couldn't tolerate even 2 minutes on the Chi Machine. They then decided to have him try it while sitting in a chair with his feet on the cradle for 10 minutes. That night he felt much better and was able to lie on his back, which he could not do before. He is doing much better now and uses the Chi Machine every day without fail.

After going to a chiropractor regularly for three years for back and sciatic nerve pain, Tony from Illinois began faithfully using the Chi Machine for a short period of time. He no longer has to go to the chiropractor, instead he just gets on the Chi Machine and has relief for the rest of the day.

I am writing to say how delighted I am with the FIR Belt. As I told you, I broke the upper part of my right humerus in a fall on the ice at the beginning of the year. This type of break can't be imobilised in plaster and is consequently very uncomfortable.
As a result of havine to lie on my back at night, I was only managing to sleep two or three hours before the pain would waken me. Because of exhaustion and having to sit or lie about at awkward angles, my muscles between the shoulder blades went into spasm and began to pull the vertebrae out of alignment, something has happened now and again since I had my accident some years ago. It's very painful and feels as if there is an arrowhead lodged in my spine.
I was in great discomfort and did not know how much longer I could keep going before collapsing through sleep deprivation and pains in my back and arm.
I had bought a Chi Machine from you at the end of last year which I was finding was having the most amazing results in terms of energy gain and general well-being. One of my friends was so impressed by the way I looked that she has since bought a Chi Machine! Because of the broken arm, I couldn't use the machine. One night I suddenly remembered the information I got with the Chi Machine, which included a flyer about the FIR belt and decided to order one. When it arrived I put it on and within an hour noticed a warmth in my back and a gradual feeling of release. By the end of the day, the muscles between the shoulder blades had relaxed, releasing the tension in the spine and the pain in the area had abated. I kept the belt on all night and managed to get six hours sleep before the pain woke me.

That was about two weeks ago. Since then, I have worn the belt 24 hours a day and have made extraordinary progress. It helps me to sleep and the problem in my back has completely disappeared. I also notice that I now have the most superb, easy carriage and can sit bolt upright for ages without aches and consequent slumping of the muscle in the lumbar region because of the gentle strangely effortless support from the belt.
Digestion and nerves have vastly improved and the arm is knitting fast, due, I am sure in a large part to the abatement of the pain elsewhere and the lessening of exhaustion, both of which seem to be directly connected with the wearing of the belt.I am tremendously impressed and grateful for what this technology has done for me. As you know, I love going on my Chi Machine and the results I am getting from my FIR belt have convinced me that this is something that I would like more and more people to know about. There are so many things on the market that promise relief from pain. I have tried all sorts - from magnets to herbs - but I have never got such amazing results as that which I have got from the Sun Ancon products. I am now setting aside the funds to get the HotHouse Machine.I would like to say thank you to Doctor Shizuo Inoue and his team for this wonderful technology and to all who distribute it. It has really saved my sense of balance during this painful episode and I am truly grateful.

Blood Pressure
Once a week where I work, I have the nurse check my oxygen and my blood pressure. When I went to get my physical for life insurance in May of 1998, my blood pressure was very high. Now it is down to 82. The oxygen-testing device tells what the body is assimilating and the nurse said anything around 88 is normal. I am 60 years old, and I am definitely not normal! My reading was 94 and she said that is normally the reading for a 30-34 year old person. It was about 80-81 when I started, so it has moved up and my blood pressure has moved down! I feel better and I started jogging about three weeks ago. I am now running about 3.5 to 4 miles per day.

Blood Sugar Disorders
In late 1996, I was a 57 year old obese male with non-insulin dependent diabetes, high blood pressure and I noticed that I was slowly losing feeling in my right foot. In early 1997, my podiatrist diagnosed my condition as neuropathy. The office test consisted of having the podiatrist touch seven points on the bottom of my foot. I could only detect three of these contacts. I knew that I would have to start doing something as I figured that at age 57 I was too young to have such a condition. Moreover, I was the one who despised exercise of any type. I justified some of this dislike to the bone spurs, which I was developing on both of my feet. In retrospect, it seems providential that by coincidence I went with my wife to visit a friend who showed us the Chi Machine. After hearing about his good experience with the Chi Machine, I decided to try it. I used the machine every morning before gong to work and every evening before going to sleep. I find both of these 15-minute periods as highlights of relaxation in each of my days. The machine travels with me on vacations and there have been very few days on which I have not used the machine. In November of 1997, I asked the podiatrist to recheck my neuropathy. Upon feeling all seven contacts the podiatrist sent me in for a nerve conduction study. The results of that study provided a diagnosis of a "barely perceptible neuropathy" attributed to my diabetic condition. I considered this a tremendous improvement, which I can only attribute to the use of the Chi Machine. I will continue to use it daily for the rest of my life with the hope that I can lose some weight and hopefully eventually overcome my diabetes.

I first received information on The Chi Machine this summer in Toronto at the People in Motion 99 trade show where I picked up a flyer entitled 'The Amazing Chi Machine". Upon returning to Calgary, I decided to use the Internet to see if there was any additional info there to support the claims from the flyer. Although I found supporting information from the Internet, I was still sceptical so I made a few calls and received enough direct info from users and dealers that I decided to order one. I felt at this point that I really had nothing to lose, as there was a money back guarantee. If I were not satisfied I would just return the product and get my money back.



The main reason I wanted to try The Chi Machine was due to reports of diabetics having great results, particularly with neuropathy and foot pain. Before starting sessions with The Chi Machine I was experiencing severe pain in both my legs arid feet. The pain was so intense at times it would straighten me right out for several seconds at a crack. The toes on both my feet were always numb and I had a stubborn sore close to the quick of the nail on one toe of the left foot which would not heal despite regular bathing and application of various ointments and even natural essential oils. Worst of all I knew things were getting progressively worse as I could feel the effects of the neuropathy creeping up both legs towards my knees. It was starting to appear in my fingers as well. Frankly, I was worried because I had other problems too, which could all be attributed to the diabetes. After my first session on The Chi Machine I noticed immediately that the uneasy feeling in the very pit of my gut that I had been experiencing every waking moment of the day (probably stress from worrying about falling apart) had disappeared. After a week I noticed the pain in my legs and feet had all but disappeared. So had the creeping neuropathy between my knees and ankles. In the first week some other wonderful things happened. That sore toe healed right up. Two other sores in the middle of my back, which I had been suffering for months, healed. Stomach and intestinal gas, which caused discomfort a few hours after meals, had also disappeared. My bowel movements went from strained and irregular to normal. The Chi Machine is not the Red Cross but it sure brought relief!



By the end of the second week I was sleeping fitfully right through the night instead of the usual tossing and turning like a cork on the ocean. Consequently, I felt more vigorous than I had in years. The neuropathy in my hands was all gone too. It is now the end of week three and I have the feeling back in every single toe on both feet. The right foot is better than the left one but I can pick up marbles with either foot now. I can sense hot and cold in every toe as well. What is most incredible is that my medication seems to be working as my sugars have been consistently within the normal range for days now. This is a real coup for me! I did not intend to lose weight, but I have dropped 3 pounds! The Chi Machine has far exceeded my expectations! I recommend it to everyone, if for no other reason but to relieve stress and to get that warm fuzzy feeling. I am asking: What have you got to lose besides your stress, your worry, your pain, your lack of energy, your sleepless nights, your indigestion, your irregularity and your poor immune system response? I know that a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, however, YOU SHOULD TRY THE CHI MACHINE - YOU WILL BE SO PLEASED THAT YOU DID!

Just a note to let you know how much my husband and I are enjoying The Chi Machine. Here are some of the personal results I have seen in a short period of time. I am diabetic with neuropathy in my feet and venous insufficiency in both ankles. By using The Chi Machine for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day, the circulation is improving and the burning sensation is almost gone. Before I started using The Chi Machine, I would wake up several times during the night with a horrific burning sensation whenever the covers touched my ankles. Now I am getting a good night's sleep... I also have to wear a TENS Unit (a battery powered pain unit) for the spasms in my arm following radical mastectomy surgery. When I began to Chi, after much physical therapy and going to the chiropractor, I could not extend my left arm much above the car level in a curved position. Now I can extend it completely over my head to match the other arm. Since I have not been able to do this for eight years, it seems like my own personal miracle. I can also go longer intervals without the TENS unit.



My "curiosity" had me go have my cholesterol rechecked. In eight weeks using The Chi Machine, with no other changes in diet, exercise or medication, the triglycerides were down 34 points, HDL (good) cholesterol up 11 points and LDL (bad) cholesterol down 19 points. Each day I see other pluses so my Chi and I are very good friends.



My husband had open-heart triple bypass surgery in 1998 and also has a bone spur on his hip joint, which limits his being able to walk. He has faithfully ridden his indoor bike for thirty minutes every other day but could not lose any weight. When he began using The Chi Machine, he lost four pounds in the first three weeks and is continuing to lose more. Both of us are pleased over this extra benefit. I have also noticed that he is not giving in to his bad hip as much.

Breathing Disorders
An asthmatic since the age of five, over the years I have needed various medical drugs to help my breathing. 25 years of teaching and practising Yoga greatly helped, as has the good diet and quality supplement programme I have followed for the last five years, but I still needed my medication.



After using the Chi Machine for only six weeks my drug dependence went down every few days. A year later I have not needed my drugs for 10 weeks, my energy levels are great, and I have avoided this winter's colds and flu.



Circulation
The Chi Machine rectifies high blood pressure. We are very pleased to use The Chi Machine. After using The Chi Machine for 1 month, I lost 5 cm around my waist, and after 8 months my cholesterol level went down from 6.8 to 5.6, without using tablets anymore (permanent use of tablets will induce a lethargic lifestyle). My wife used the machine for 3 months and her high blood pressure returned to normal (90/130) despite taking tablets for six years beforehand.

I have quite bad circulation so I thought I'd give the 'Chi Machine' a go. It was great — it really helped the blood to flow through my body more freely. During the treatment it put me into a meditative state and I felt myself sink through below the ground. Afterwards I could actually feel my feet and they had warmth! It was as if something had been unblocked in my body. I definitely recommend it to anybody who is considering using it"

I first got on The Chi Machine for 3 minutes and when I got up, I said "Wow!" That was probably the first time I got an adequate amount of circulation through my lower legs. I immediately called my mother, Pinkie, because I hoped it would help her too. Six years ago she had a brain tumor the size of a baseball removed. While the neurosurgeons were prepping her for surgery, they discovered she had congestive heart failure and a trial fibrillation. She had been misdiagnosed and over-medicated.
fysioterapeuterMama survived the surgery, but two weeks later blood clots blew out a whole lung and half of the other. The doctors said it was a miracle she survived and that her brain and heart cells and her lungs could not rejuvenate. She was also diagnosed with diabetes. For four long years her personality seemed gone and her quality of life was greatly diminished. She couldn't drive and became dependent on others for just about everything. My sister Chandler became her primary caretaker.



The week after I got my Chi Machine, I brought it to our family vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama. We put mama on the floor for one minute the first day and for a minute and a half the next. That second day she took a walk down the beach! It was incredible! A week later she was walking around the grocery store without using her motorized cart! After eight months of using The Chi Machine Mama's personality came back and her health had dramatically improved. Mama's neurosurgeon was totally amazed and gave her permission to drive. We never dreamed she would be able to drive again! After using The Chi Machine for a year, the cardiologist told us Mama did not have congestive heart failure anymore — whoever heard of that! Her lungs are now normal also and she does water aerobics for exercise and uses The Chi Machine twelve minutes twice a day. My mother has her life back because of The Chi Machine!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ ME
I bought my Chi Machine eighteen months ago to help with my M.E. and since that time I've experienced a number of different benefits. The most exciting has been the increase in energy that happens after a session on the machine. Not only is this physically beneficial but I also appreciate the psychological boost gained from knowing that if I'm having a bad day I can go on the machine and feel better.



A further benefit I've found is that I've toned up in a number of areas including my hips, thighs, back and tummy. In fact the area around the hip bones has totally changed since using the machine, I had been under the impression I was carrying some fat around the area but now with the knowledge that the machine is proven to help with excess fluid I think I was suffering with fluid retention in that area.



A final area that has been the cause of great delight to me in recent weeks is that when I lie on the machine with my eyes closed I'm now experiencing an array of colours in front of my eyes. This has previously happened to me during Reiki sessions and when meditating but it's amazing for me that I can achieve this during a simple Chi machine session. I can actually "see" my energy change!

I have had my Chi Machine for about a year, and it has helped me recover from chronic illness.



I developed ME in 1996. I became so ill I was virtually housebound for over a year, at times having to crawl to the bathroom on my hands and knees. I had many symptoms, from constant headaches and sore throats to digestive problems and joint and muscle pain, and worst of all very little mental or physical capacity to do anything. For months I could not even watch TV, and I was unable to read properly for perhaps 2 years. Over the years I tried many different treatments, including nutritional and herbal approaches as well as physical therapies such as shiatsu and yoga. These all helped my health to gradually improve, but I was still nowhere near well enough to work.



I became interested in lymphatic drainage as a result of studying the research into ME. In particular I read a book called "The Back and Beyond" by Dr. Paul Sherwood, which suggested that treating the lymphatic system could aid recovery. This made a lot of sense to me and eventually I tried lymphatic drainage massage with a massage therapist. I found this very beneficial and it increased my energy a lot, but was expensive and I could not afford to have it as often as I would have liked.



It was then that I heard about the Chi Machine. I was lucky enough to be able to have a go on a Chi Machine at a friend's house and I realised immediately that this was a powerful treatment. When I read about it I realised that this could replace the massages, not only that but it would be available at home for me to use every day, and other members of the family could also benefit. So although it was a lot of money to spend, it seemed like a gamble worth taking, especially if it could help me improve and get closer to my goal of being able to work again.



I had to begin gradually like most people with ME, and build up slowly from one minute at a time on the machine. I was careful to follow the instructions about drinking water before and after. Within a short time I began to feel the benefit of using the Chi Machine. As my energy levels improved, I finally lost the last of the "brain fog" which had plagued me for years, and all my remaining symptoms lessened. I still use the machine every day and I am convinced it has been a major factor in my continuing improvement -- I notice the difference if I am unable to use it for a few days. I also find I can use the machine for a few minutes at times when I am feeling a bit sluggish or having trouble waking -- it is like having been for a brisk walk but without the effort and time involved. It is also a great de-stresser.



The beauty of the chi machine is that it increases exercise capacity and energy, even when you are unable to exercise properly yourself. For example if I am suffering from a virus and not well enough to do my normal activities, I can still go on the chi machine. I am convinced it has improved my recovery time when I do occasionally get a cold etc. This makes it ideal for people with ME who desperately need the benefits of exercise, but are either physically unable to, or cannot do so without suffering problems afterwards. I don't know if it can help everyone with ME as much as it has helped me. (Now that would be a fascinating research project!) For me however, it has been a vital piece of the jigsaw which I needed to get well, and it is impossible to express in words the difference this has made to my life.

I got my Chi Machine about three months ago. Do I have any regrets? Indeed I do. I wish that I had had it ten years ago as it has completely cured an uncomfortable tummy problem that I have had for many years, also other minor problems.



Things began to change, when I realised that M.E. spelt 'me'. From that point on I knew recovery was possible. I began to look at 'me', my attitudes, my expectations (of self and others), my lifestyle, my belief systems, indeed my life.



I went down with M.E. in February 1997, at a time when I was working too hard (but loving every minute of it) and also very busy in a voluntary capacity with charities, as well as family (3 children). I never stopped, and never made any time for 'me'.



Having your legs taken away (in bed for 3 months) makes you do one thing at least, that is confront yourself, there's no running away or filling life with activity. There is lots of time to think, and read and explore.



Since then there have been lots of ups and downs, remissions when I thought I had it licked and re-occurrences with all the frustrations they bring. I've worked hard trying to become well and tried lots of things, some of which have worked better than others.



I am careful with what I eat, and have completely changed my lifestyle eg resigned my full time job and now work part time (who would want to work full time?).



I have also changed many of my attitudes (don't do ought, or guilt), tried numerous alternative therapies (having given up on the medical profession fairly early on!). In particular homeopathy has been a great help, in part the remedies perhaps, but more especially the time to explore so many areas of my life, at a deep level, with a skilled therapist.



Since Christmas I have been better than I've been for years, almost normal (whatever that means!) and at a time when life has been highly stressful (recent close death in family, major house defect to deal with, etc . . . ), when in the past I would of collapsed in a heap!



I can only put this down to the Chi Machine I've been using every day since Christmas. It's great for a number of reasons and I believe has been the reason for my best health in years.



Just a few minutes a day on the Chi Machine is proving very beneficial, it's relaxing (a good excuse to lie down and do nothing), provides exercise without apparently doing anything (I was very unfit after years with no real exercise, yet recently I've been on some quite long walks, something I just couldn't do), it provides movement through the body in a way that seems to re-align bones and internal organs and testimonials show thousands of people world wide have been helped use the Chi Machine, from all kinds of conditions. I'm a bit of a cynic but can only put my new found health and fitness down to this clever little machine.

I have discovered a life-changing -- perhaps life saving -- exerciser that actually lives up to its claim that "It does work. You get the benefit." It works by greatly enhancing the distribution of oxygen and blood flow throughout the body, thereby changing your metabolic rate, and rejuvenating every aspect of your body, while you just lie on the floor (resting your ankles on the machine), breathe deeply and think happy thoughts for fifteen minutes! It is great for people who don't have time or want to exercise or who are self-conscious about their bodies and want privacy. I would not have believed it, had I not experienced it myself!



Since at least 1990, I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. At first, I thought it was just exhaustion from working a 40 hour week and another 40 or more hours in the same week doing volunteer work at a shelter for homeless people. (I had done that every week since 1987). But, in 1992, I discontinued most of that volunteer work and my community service work. Yet, in 1994, I had become so ill that quite literally consciousness left my body. I lost so much weight people started the rumor that I had AIDS. I constantly needed sleep for 4-6 hours after having been awake for only five minutes. It has been a very slow recovery. Every day -- no matter how scorching hot and sultry humid -- no matter how frigid the winter -- I have had to go to my car and sleep during my lunch hour in order to make it through the rest of the afternoon's work. And, I have done that, since at least 1990, even while fearing that sleeping in the parking lot could cost me my job. Still, it was necessary. Until I got The Chi Machine...



Almost immediately I did not HAVE to take a nap during my lunch hour! In fact, if I tried to, I could not go to sleep! I suddenly had sufficient energy to get through the whole day at work and an entire evening of work at home and the energy was alive and evenly distributed throughout the day! It feels just like a miracle! Here's another miracle: on the fifth day, I discovered I had lost 1/2 inch in my chest, waist and hips and THREE inches in my abdomen!!! You know, where men have a "pot belly", and women look like they will be pregnant until they die. I know, because I matched my measurements against measurements I had taken one month previously. During this time period I had not been exercising, because of a back problem. The only thing that had changed was my having The Chi Machine to use 15 minutes in the morning and again in the evening. (When I first got a borrowed machine, I used it for 15 minutes at a time. Only when I got my own machine did I get the instructions, which say that BEGINNERS SHOULD USE IT FOR 2 OR 3 MINUTES, at first, and then work up to fifteen. So, probably, I got such fast results from "Jumping right in". But, I didn't buy this machine for weight loss. I bought it to help me with the excruciating back pain that I had from osteoarthritis (caused not only by "old age," but by old injuries to my back). An X-ray of my back showed osteoporosis (probably created or worsened by my having smoked cigarettes for many years), arthritis, and bone spurs from the injuries. The arthritis literally was dislocating my ribs! And, now one hip is much lower than the other. I was a hurtin' buckaroo! It felt like my back was on fire all the time, and I could hardly get to sleep, much less stay asleep at night because of it. After ONE WEEK of using The Chi Machine, I certainly am not completely cured, but I am ALMOST PAIN FREE!!!!!



I had experienced acupuncture, cranio-sacral therapy, deep connective tissue therapy, Reiki, Kahuna healing, chiropractic visits and massages. Everything helped a lot, but then the pain returned. We didn't know why until we saw the X-ray. It was the machine that worked out the crooked ridges in my back and reduced the pain. The person who massages my back can clearly see the difference.



What else?



* The varicose vein in my ankle is receding and is far less visible.
* The bone spur on my foot is receding. Every day I see a difference and often I'm pain free.
* My vision is improving and my range of peripheral vision has greatly increased. I know this because of an exercise I tried, which I can do far better than I could just a few days ago.
* My thoughts are clearer -- finally got some oxygen to the brain!
* My complexion is clearer and I'm losing the appearance of having "jowls".
* My neck is much more flexible (it had suffered considerable damage and now is quite mobile with much less pain).
* The area where I had oral surgery is healing at a much faster rate.
* It is helping me with lymph drainage.
* A healer who had worked on me a couple of months before I got The Chi Machine was amazed at how much clearer and healthier my energy field is. It is helping me cleanse and clear the body, mind, spirit and emotions.
* I CAN SLEEP MUCH BETTER AT NIGHT!
* Internal digestive organs, heart, lungs and immune system feel stronger and clearer.



I'm sure this is only the beginning. A chiropractor asked me whether I would continue to use the machine, now that I had comparatively little pain. I told her "I will use this thing as long as there is electricity!" The literature states that 15 minutes of using The Chi Machine is about equivalent to 90 minutes of brisk walking, in terms of body oxygenation. All I know is IT WORKS!



The last thing I ever wanted to be is part of a multi-level marketing operation. But, I literally believe it can benefit almost every person and can save the lives of some! So, I now am a distributor. The machine is not cheap. But, it is the equivalent of the less expensive exercise equipment seen on television -- or the price of the spa I joined and went to about three times -- or the price I pay for vitamins and supplements every 2 months! To me, it can cure the incurable and, therefore, is worth much more than I paid for it. And, it's a one-time expense!

Digestive Disorders



The Chi Machine has worked wonders for me. It has given me back my life! I suffered with bronchitis for many years and have been seriously ill with Ulcerative Colitis. Since using The Chi Machine -2/3 times daily for the past 18 months, the results have been amazing! Besides having lots more energy, I no longer need to use my inhaler, my breathing is just fine and my bowel problem has gone, thanks to my change of diet and The Chi Machine.
I was also diagnosed in 1988 with ME and have found that since using The Chi Machine I have had more energy to help combat the syndrome, which allows me to tend my large garden successfully.



I would like to give my grateful thanks to the very clever Dr. Inoue.

Disability



My little grandson called Luke, who is now 12 years old, is severely physically and mentally handicapped. He just loves using The Chi Machine and lies quietly and happily (which is very unusual for him) whilst his legs are moving from side to side. He has very bad circulation problems and we are sure this is going to help him.

Energy and Oxygen
My energy levels have really improved since using the Chi Machine when I get in from work. The drop in energy I used to get after lunch and after my evening meal has completely disappeared and my ten-minute stroll to and from work has now become an energetic march!

As an ex-dancer at the age of 51, my body's beginning to stiffen up a bit. The first thing I noticed about the Chi Machine was that my back, neck and shoulders have become supple again. Now, as a busy primary school teacher, a job that requires a lot of energy. I wouldn't be without 15 minutes on my machine every morning.

What would life be like without The Chi Machine for Gould and Betsy from South Carolina? Since getting The Chi Machine, Gould has gotten rid of his bone spurs. Betsy was having problems with arthritis in her big toe, insomnia and aching muscles in the back and shoulders. The Chi Machine has greatly relieved these problems for Betsy. Both of our energy levels are off the charts!

My wife has lost a tremendous amount of weight. The Chi Machine has completely toned her stomach and given her lots of energy. Her varicose veins are disappearing, and so are her aches and pains. My asthma has been helped significantly and I have not had to use my inhaler at all.

When we received The Chi Machine, my son Jeff was a below average student. He had a lot of trouble staying focused and paying attention during class time. We read that The Chi Machine was an excellent tool for getting more oxygen to the brain and therefore promoting alertness. We figured that we had nothing to lose by getting Jeff to use the machine.



Jeff began using the machine, and I noticed almost immediately that he was able to pay closer attention in class, and that he was able to understand things easier. That was about two years ago. Jeff’s marks have improved considerably, to the point where he is now getting average to above average grades in school. Jeff continues to use The Chi Machine, and we can definitely notice the improvement.

Headaches
Margaret, my sister, advised Jim and I to try the Sun Ancon Oxygen Exerciser as she believed it would benefit our health and well being. To our amazement, Jim focused on a diet and used the machine for exercise twice daily. I believe he has never looked or been so well for a long time. As for myself, I suffered from severe headaches at night. Happily, I can now say there is only the occasional headache. My index finger was stiff with arthritis — to my delight I can now bend it freely. To add to all this, we feel great and would like to say thank you. We are so happy with the results we even take it with us when we go away. “Oh what a feeling!”



Joint Pain
My mum tried the Chi Machine at a Complementary Health Clinic in Sheffield. She has very painful arthritis, especially in her knees. After only 4 minutes on the machine, the pain had eased enough so that she could kneel again where before she couldn’t. She decided to buy one and on just ten minutes a day is still feeling the benefits.

Over the past 30 years I have been an asthma sufferer. In the last 6-7 years I have had a number of trips to hospital, sometimes for weeks at a time. I have had my Sun Ancon Aerobic Exerciser for about six months. My life has changed, I am able to live without the medication I was taking a number of times a day

After using The Chi Machine for only six weeks my drug dependence went down to every third day or so. Twelve months on using my wonderful Chi Machine, it is so noticeable how very clear my breathing is. Sometimes, I can't even remember how long it is since I last used my drugs. Here I am, my body getting older (like everyone on the planet) and my drug dependency is dropping away. Defies all that I have ever been told about chronic conditions!

Muscle and Joint Pain
I would like to give a testimony on the job The Chi Machine has done for me. I’m living proof that it helped me with my Fibromyalgia after the second day.



I have never taken Tylenol PM to help me sleep since using The Chi Machine. My husband says that I don't move my legs in my sleep anymore. If I do wake up to use the bathroom, I can go back to sleep, I also have not had to use a laxative since I have been using the machine.



Previously I would go to bed, and couldn't get any sleep because my legs ached so badly. I got on the machine for 10 minutes one night and went back to bed and fell asleep!! It has really helped me! Thank you!
Henrietta Kamminga, Kentwood, Michigan, USA



I purchased a Chi Machine because my wife has Fibromyalgia, a very painful soreness of bones and muscles. We have used it for three weeks, and she is a changed wife. She used to come home from work tired and sore. She would plop into the recliner. Now she mows the lawn and she does the wash. It's fantastic! She isn't completely pain free, but is (at least) 70% better. When I rub her back, she is not half as sore, her hips don't hurt when she walks and she has more energy! The Chi Machine is the best investment I have ever made for our health and well-being.

I have spent 7 years suffering and for the most part unable to work, due to fibromyalgia. Every time I felt a little better, I started back to work part-time and in a couple of months I would be totally in pain and unable to work. I was very depressed to say the least. Life was miserable until I used The Chi Machine.



The first day I used The Chi Machine for five minutes and my torso moved but not my shoulders as I was a little sore. The next day I used it twice and my body moved from top to bottom with very little discomfort. On the third day, in the morning, I used it for ten minutes, stood up when I was done and without stretching bent over and touched my toes for the first time in 7 years! I had been a high school coach and played soccer before diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so this was a big improvement and I felt very proud. I then knew that The Chi Machine was sent from heaven.



I felt great and had a gleam in my eye and was stepping lively when I went into the bank. The girls at the bank had helped me into my car several times over the last several years as well as calling help to pick up and carry me out twice. They looked at me and the head teller said, "What on earth are you taking? I want some!!!" I said, "Watch this!" and I bent over and touched my toes. And moved my head from side to side, I then said, I'm not taking anything," and then told them about my new machine.



I then went to the local optometrist office to have lunch with my daughter, Dr. Partin. She came in and said, "What in the world are you taking? I want some!" She has chronic fatigue syndrome. I went through the same scene as the bank. The same episode was relived at church that Sunday. I have not taken a muscular relaxer or pain pill since I have been using The Chi Machine, Well, you must know that I appreciate the opportunity The Chi Machine has given me with my health concerns. I also love the business. By the way, Dr. Partin is buying The Chi Machine.

In 1995 Corinne was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Her body ached with pain and she slept only 2 hours without waking. She was completely exhausted and suffered with migraines at least once a week and sometimes twice. The headaches lasted from 24-48 hours. After using the Chi Machine for two months, she is a different person. She now sleeps for 5-6 hours without waking, and has no more migraines. She no longer suffers with headaches or sciatica and is more supple. There were times when she could hardly walk. The bottom of her feet stopped hurting and she has no more numbness in her left arm and hand. There is less pain from arthritis, less indigestion, and better concentration. She has experienced more energy and a feeling of well-being. Corinne reports feeling better than she has done for years. She uses her machine twice a day and if ever she has pain, day or night.

My Energiser has helped me with relief from tension, headaches and gives me energy. As a squash court proprietor who spends most spare time sewing I experience minor back problems. Recently, I loaned my Energiser out, so for three weeks I missed my warm-ups and cool-downs and was lacking in energy and enthusiasm for physical activity. I gained great relief when I collected my Energiser again.



Some months ago I came home from a weekend squash tournament with the flu, but played a tough match on Tuesday morning and worked over a cutting table all afternoon. By Wednesday morning my back was very sore with almost no flexibility, and I played poorly and in pain. By the afternoon I again had my Energiser back. In four 5 minutes sessions I could feel the stiffness relaxing. I repeated the sessions on Thursday morning and was able to play that evening problem free. A Friday morning session saw me with no back pain. As well, the body aches from the flu had vanished although the cold symptoms and cough persisted. However, early morning sessions helped break up lingering congestion.



My Energiser has helped me with relief from tension, headaches and gives me general well being and a higher energy level.

Fluid Retention



The Chi Machine has been a revelation to me. I have been having two fifteen minute sessions each day for around two months and in that time have lost two inches from both my hips and waist and have noticeably toned the rest of my body.



The benefits of using a machine were explained to me by my reflexologist who had noticed I was suffering from oedema in spite of eating healthily and taking regular, if limited, exercise - I have MS. So I borrowed one, then quickly bought my own because I could immediately see the difference it made.



I even hired a machine when I went to Canada because I could not bear the thought of being away from it for two weeks.
Erna Leathley, Sheffield, UK




Heart Related Problems
I must say I find the Chi Machine absolutely wonderful. I have much more energy, the fluid retention is really under control which has a knock-on effect on the angina. I could really see myself going down the road of "watertablets" which I did NOT want. So, yes, wonderful, worth every penny! All thanks and good wishes to you from Erna Leathley.



Menstrual Disorders
I was diagnosed almost 15 years ago with endometriosis after suffering approximately 20 years with severe pain and abnormal bleeding with my menstrual cycle. I had a laparoscopy, and the doctor excised some unidentifiable "tissue", but nothing they did helped with the pain. I chose to do nothing more except use natural supplements and live with the pain since the alternatives had bad side effects and the doctor who operated on me (Dr. Redwine, who was the leading expert in the nation on endometriosis) did not recommend any of them.



Now, when I have pain, I lay under the HotHouse with it over my abdomen and most generally within 30 minutes or less the pain is greatly lessened and often disappears. Even when the pain wakes me up, after a short treatment under the HotHouse, I am able to go back to sleep. I am very thankful for the HotHouse. It would be hard to think about going on for many more years with this pain without it.

Migraine



In 1953 while still in high school, I was in a horrible accident. An 18-wheeler pulled out from a service station and hit my car and knocked me into an oncoming 18-wheeler. My car was demolished. This accident left me with horrible migraines. In 1987 I was in a two-car collision and I suffered a whip lash and scapula damage. My left arm was partially numb. In 1996 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was suffering with excruciating pain. I practiced and taught Acupressure Chair massage and the neurologist told me that I would no longer be able to continue this profession.



In 1999 I was introduced to the Chi Machine and after using this machine for three weeks, I felt something move in my neck. My arm was no longer numb and most of the time I am free of migraine headaches. This was a beautifully magnificent miracle for me. I began to notice I was walking much better. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is use the Chi Machine for ten minutes and the HotHouse for one to two hours a day. I use the Chi Machine at least twice a day. I find the Chi Machine gets my blood circulating which helps relieve pain and the HotHouse is so soothing for pain associated with fibromyalgia. It is amazing how much better I function. I continue to work part­time. I will be forever grateful for these amazingly beneficial machines. My life has been forever changed for the better.

According to Dr Larry H, Naturopath, there have been remarkable results for those suffering from muscle cramps, migraines, and inflammation with the use of the Chi Machine.



It has also been a boon for those suffering from arthritis pain, chronic sciatica, and back pain. If there is any discomfort, you need to cut back on time for awhile and build up very slowly. This comes from excessive toxins in the body and not enough water intake.



If you have migraine headaches, put your hands underneath your head to help stimulate response.

Muscular Disorders



I am amazed at the benefits I have seen and felt from The Chi Machine. Originally my husband and I bought the machine purely to replace our weekly massages and we have been delighted with the additional health changes resulting from consistent use.



I started at three minutes once per day, as my general health was quite low. After two weeks my left trapezium muscle (left upper shoulder area) started to heat up, and it released energy for 3-4 days continuously. I knew a healing was happening on a childhood injury so I didn't worry. Since then my shoulder area is the freest I ever remember, though I've danced since childhood and have had consistent chiropractic care for thirty years.



I have absolutely no doubt my autonomic system is balancing, that my long-standing scoliosis is relaxing and that my circulation is being improved (my left foot sometimes has hot pins and needles). Using the machine creates a quieting effect that is a marvelous start and finish to my day. It’s an excellent adjunct to chiropractic care.



Three months ago I had a very painful arthritic attack in my hands and feet my genetics were starting to manifest. Presently (Nov. '97) I am aware of the vaguest stiffness, joint pain and swelling. I am certain that the machine is at least partly responsible, as it is the only factor that I changed since my last debilitating attack.



As I said, I am surprised to say the least. I never thought I would be writing a testimonial for a machine, but I do so of my own volition and wholeheartedly recommend The Chi Machine. Whether you want wellness benefits or more specific health results, I suggest you use the exerciser along with other factors like a wholesome diet. There are protocols, which must be followed and as long as these are in place, regular use may well surprise you also.

Nerve pain



Anyone who has suffered from shingles knows what I am talking about when I say that the pain associated with this illness is intense. Never before have I experienced anything so painful. Seven years ago I had my first attack of shingles. It lasted about 2.5 to 3 weeks, the medication from the doctor was expensive and almost impossible to use, as it was very thick and very painful to apply.



My second attack happened just 2 weeks ago. During the night I woke up thinking that I was having a heart attack, then realized that I had the shingles again. Not knowing what else to do I got up and took the HotHouse out and sat on the couch with it around my back, quite close to my skin. I used it that first time for about 1.5 hours. The pain was completely gone!!! That was amazing; with shingles the pain is usually continuous.



By using the HotHouse whenever I felt pain come on, I was able to be completely free from the shingles within about 4 days.



During the 4 days, I was able to function normally and the pain completely went away. This is a vast difference from the first time I had shingles. The pain was so bad the first time that I could not sit in a chair, wear a shirt (the weight of the material against my skin was too painful) or conduct any daily affairs.



Once more the HotHouse has paid for itself!!! I have to say again, that I would never again be without either one of these machines in my home.

As a massage therapist, I have had the opportunity to observe the benefits that the Sun Ancon Chi Machine has provided for others. One of my clients has MS and is only able to get around in a wheelchair. Consequently, she has problems with lymphoedema. However, after just a couple of treatments, I have witnessed the significant reduction in the size of her ankles, and of course, the relief of the pressure caused by the lymph build up. The Sun Ancon gets the lymph moving, kick-starts the kidneys so that the urinary system is much more fluid than usual. Consequently much of the fluid build up is eliminated and she feels much lighter after the treatment. Her bowels also work better after the treatments.

I have been using the Chi Machine on a regular basis for almost 4 months. For the first three months, I used it twice a day. I have Multiple Sclerosis, a condition which for me, causes fatigue, muscle stiffness, weakness and spasm, as well as loss of balance and bladder problems. On first using the Chi Machine I noticed a feeling of well-being - a vibrancy and sense of 'flow' in my body, that I hadn't experienced for some time. Very soon, the stiffness in my legs that lead to spasms during the night, was reduced and my nights became more restful. It was noticed when I attended physiotherapy, that the muscle tone in my legs had improved considerably, especially immediately following a session on the machine. Mostly, prior to the Chi Machine, I suffered icy cold feet and patchy hot and cold areas in my knees, thighs and buttocks. A more even distribution of body temperature has occurred since using the Machine. Improved bladder function is also a welcome benefit.



Circumstances have made it difficult to manage two sessions a day recently. Co-incidence or otherwise, the stiffness in my legs has increased and fatigue is recurring, although humidity and climatic conditions can affect this.



Overall, I feel that initially the use of the Chi Machine improved my most uncomfortable symptoms. At all times, use of the machine has been and is a relaxing and pleasurable experience that gives me a feeling of well-being. I consider it a worthwhile purchase."



I will try to persuade the Physio Dept. to take you up on your offer of a Chi Machine to loan.

I am a Neurodevelopmental Therapist who works with children labeled as ADHD, Dyslexic, Autistic or with any serious learning problem. When I was first shown The Chi Machine, I didn't make the connection with its possible use in neural systems therapy. Over time, however, I did decide to try The Chi Machine on some of my patients. There were excellent results in combination with therapy: A girl went from crawling to climbing upstairs to walking a boy started speaking more clearly; many others were calm and focused. The workout of these subsystems in a passive enjoyable way makes it more likely that students will adhere to the therapy.

In late 1996, I was a 57-year-old obese male with non-insulin dependant diabetes, high blood pressure and I noticed that I was slowly losing feeling in my right foot.



In early 1997, my podiatrist diagnosed my condition as neuropathy. The office test consisted of having the podiatrist touch seven points on the bottom of my foot. I could only detect three of these contacts. I knew that I would have to start doing something as I figured that at age 57 I was too young to have such a condition. Moreover, I was one who despised exercise of any type. I justified some of this dislike to the spurs, which I was developing on both of my feet. In retrospect, it seems providential that by coincidence I went with my wife to visit a friend who happened to be a distributor of The Chi Machine. I didn't say anything about the neuropathy but as a good salesman he introduced me to the machine and provided me with the literature and the audiotape. After listening to the tape several times and reading the literature I 4-cided to try the machine.
I used the machine every morning before going to work and every evening before going to sleep. I find both of these 15-minute periods as highlights of relaxation in each of my days. The machine travels with me on vacations and there have been very few days on which I have not used the machine.



In November of 1997, I asked the podiatrist to recheck my neuropathy. Upon feeling all seven contacts the podiatrist sent me in for a nerve condition study. The results of that study provided a diagnosis of a "barely perceptible neuropathy” attributed to my diabetic condition. I considered this a tremendous improvement, which I can only attribute to the use of The Chi Machine.



I will continue to use it daily for the rest of my life with the hope that I can for the first time in my life lose more than eleven pounds of weight and hopefully eventually overcome my diabetes.

Relaxation and Stress



The trouble I had been having with my shoulders disappeared soon after I began using my Chi Machine. I use it every night before I go to bed. It totally relaxes me, helping me forget all the tension and troubles of the day, and get a good night's sleep.
Mrs C. O., UK



The Chi Machine, I can recommend it with no doubt in my mind as to its benefits, I have used this machine for therapeutic and health maintaining purposes. It helps physical recovery and can contribute to rejuvenation, it also is good in stress management both mental and physical, and last but not least it gives one a sense of physical and mental well being.

The Chi Machine makes me feel better, it lifts depression and helps me cope with life. I have also managed to lose weight, my body is now more toned and supple.
C. S., Clwyd, UK



The trouble I had been having with my shoulders disappeared soon after I began using the machine. I use it every night before I go to bed. It totally relaxes me, helping me forget all the tension and troubles of the day, and get a good night's sleep. After the first time used the machine my neck problem disappeared. Over the last six months my allergies have got better and I have had none of the usual winter colds and flu. I feel very fit and healthy.

The Chi Machine is a simple-looking little thing. Just an electronic (actually mechanical) box that you rest your ankles on. So simple, I'd decide, it couldn't possibly work.



But intrepid journalist that I am, I duly laid down and switched on.



Once I'd got my ankles in a comfortable position (not easy) and my spine straight, it vibrated my body into ripples. The motion swings your entire body from side to side in a gentle, undulating fashion.



At first it seems like a silly thing to be doing. But you stop giggling as the gentle rhythm soothes and lulls. I could feel the wiggle going from my feet right down my legs, up my body and spine into my neck.



I laid there, head wobbling like David Grey mid-song, aware that I looked a bit ridiculous. But after a few minutes I didn't care; I'd gone with the flow. And when the machine timer suddenly clicked off, I felt quite robbed.



Instructions said I should lie still for a few minutes afterwards. As I did so, I could feel a tingling sensation in my body a boost in circulation, I assumed.



As I got up, my back felt stiff, but it soon eased. After using it a few times, I noticed niggly aches in my back and neck were relieved each time and, bizarrely considering I'd done nothing, the backs of my legs and bottom felt like they had gone through a mild workout.



Although I did feel slightly more energetic, the overriding benefit I felt was one of relaxation. I definitely felt better for those ten-minute sessions.



I felt myself longing for a chi break all day...
Jo Davison, Article in The Sheffield Star newspaper, Friday 4th April, 2003



On September 20th, 1997 I tried The Chi Machine for the first time. I felt the "chi" that everyone was talking about and I was excited about the potential.



September 26th my own machine arrived. We used it for 5 minutes initially. Within a few days my sleeps were far more restful and my temperament was so much better. I was handling my son's pooh-filled nappies better. Dreams were vivid, more clear and able to be totally recalled.



By the first week I had more energy -- I put my clients on the machine, they felt the benefit. First period in years only lasted two days and I felt no discomfort - didn't know it was there. My depression decreased and I had an all over feeling of well-being. For one month use on a steady basis I can report a 2 kg weight loss.



Hearing is returning to my deaf left ear, I use The Chi Machine to help me relax and enhance my digestive process. Thank you.

Several years ago I was becoming increasingly frustrated with trying to help patients with conditions such as macular degeneration and recurrent attacks of ititis, for which we have no definitive treatments. I began to study nutrition and other alternative healing systems. I also wanted to learn about stress-reduction techniques. Stress adversely affects so many people today, and I believe reducing it should be a physician's priority.



I attended seminars and workshops on mind-body or alternative medicines, gaining insight into various healing programs. At a 1999 workshop, I spotted a demonstration of an unusual machine. Intrigued, I tried it.



I was invited to lie on a mat and place my feet into the device, which was called The Chi Machine. When it was turned on, the machine moved my legs laterally. After 5 minutes it was turned off and I felt simultaneously relaxed and energized.



The Chi Machine was developed by a Japanese physician who was looking for a way to more efficiently oxygenate the body. The wavelike motion of the body on the machine creates a lateral flexion of the spine, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system to open the bronchioles, thereby increasing oxygen exchange and creating an alpha wave state similar to meditation. Fifteen minutes on the machine provides the oxygen equivalent to 90 minutes of brisk walking. Once I discovered the benefits of this alternative treatment, I wanted to share it with everyone, including my patients. I use the machine in a variety of ways in my practice.



Before patients undergo LASIK and other surgeries, we put them on the machine for about 10 minutes. We combine this with another therapy called the HotHouse, a far infrared device. The combination helps our patients relax and enhances their LASIK experience. Our patients are enthusiastic about these therapies. They leave my office rejuvenated.



In the office we also have a "Relaxation Room", where we play relaxing music and have The Chi Machine on a massage table. When patients have had to wait too long to be seen, we instill their eye drops and put them onto the machine. After 15 minutes they become different people, often asking if they can stay on it longer. This reduces stress and any ill will they're feeling for the long wait.



We've introduced this treatment to patients with various conditions and with outstanding results. For example, Jennifer is a 31-year-old cystic fibrosis patient on a waiting list for a lung transplant. When her husband came to me for LASIK, she saw him on the machine and asked if she could have a turn. After 15 minutes, Jennifer said her breathing had significantly improved. She phoned 4 days later to report her physicians found her oxygen levels had also improved. We've also had outstanding success treating patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression and neck and back pain.



I'm excited to present my patients with solutions to chronic complaints. I've discussed this treatment with other ophthalmologists, who are incorporating it into their practices. Because I'm an ophthalmologist, patients come to me to treat their eyes, but as a physician, I want to treat their whole mind and body.
Dr. Nathan Lipton, MD, Dallas, Texas, USA



The relaxation derived from The Chi Machine has been phenomenal! Waking up and getting on the machine every morning is the best. I also use it to alleviate pain. The gentle oscillation opens my pinched nerve channels and realigns my body by relaxing cramped muscles. I have less pain, better sleep, and a better attitude.

Sciatic Pain



For about two years I was in a lot of pain with sciatica down the left side and leg. As I am allergic to codeine and other pain killing medications, all I could have was paracetamol which meant taking them for a short term only because long term use would cause complications and even liver damage.



Both my husband and I use The Chi Machine daily, resulting in a normal life, free from pain and medication - now that can't be a bad thing?
Mr and Mrs G Ward, Leicester, UK



In 1987 Connie was injured in a car accident that injured her scapula. She was in constant pain until she started using the Chi Machine. She has also suffered for years with sciatica and again the Chi Machine helped with this also. After using the Chi machine for 2 months she is a different person. She no longer suffers with backaches or sciatica and is more supple. There were times when she could hardly walk.



Connie reports feeling better than she has done in years. She uses her machine for 10-15 minutes at least twice a day and when she has pain — day or night — she uses it for a few minutes.
I thought that you might be interested with my experience of the Chi Machine. I damaged the ligaments of the joint between my last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. Fluid collected at the site of the injury. I was told that any twisting of my back could make the damage worse and the fluid would press on the sciatic nerve, resulting in a very sharp pain down my leg.



I stopped using the Chi Machine as I erroneously thought that it would cause trouble. After two weeks, I rang you to be told that it would disperse the fluid. So, as you suggested, I reduced the time spent on it to one minute only and then gradually increased the time. I am now using it three times a day, five minutes a session.



Within days, the fluid had dispersed and the ligaments started to heal. Three weeks later I can report that my back feels normal and no sciatic pain. The Chi Machine is a wonderful help to returning to full health.



Please quote me to anyone who would be interested in my experiences



Once again, thanks for your advice,



Best wishes,

Spinal Disorders



I am amazed at the benefits I have seen and felt from The Chi Machine. Originally my husband and I bought the machine purely to replace our weekly massages and we have been delighted with the additional health changes resulting from consistent use.



I started at three minutes once per day, as my general health was quite low. After two weeks my left trapezium muscle (left upper shoulder area) started to heat up, and it released energy for 3-4 days continuously. I knew a healing was happening on a childhood injury so I didn't worry. Since then my shoulder area is the freest I ever remember, though I've danced since childhood and have had consistent chiropractic care for thirty years.



I have absolutely no doubt my autonomic system is balancing, that my long-standing scoliosis is relaxing and that my circulation is being improved (my left foot sometimes has hot pins and needles). Using the machine creates a quieting effect that is a marvelous start and finish to my day. It’s an excellent adjunct to chiropractic care.



Three months ago I had a very painful arthritic attack in my hands and feet my genetics were starting to manifest. Presently (Nov. '97) I am aware of the vaguest stiffness, joint pain and swelling. I am certain that the machine is at least partly responsible, as it is the only factor that I changed since my last debilitating attack.



As I said, I am surprised to say the least. I never thought I would be writing a testimonial for a machine, but I do so of my own volition and wholeheartedly recommend The Chi Machine. Whether you want wellness benefits or more specific health results, I suggest you use the exerciser along with other factors like a wholesome diet. There are protocols, which must be followed and as long as these are in place, regular use may well surprise you also.

Spine - Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain
After the first time used the Chi Machine my neck problem disappeared. Over the last six months my allergies have got better and I have had none of the usual winter colds and flu. I feel very fit and healthy.
Mr J. S., Yorkshire, UK



As an ex-dancer at the age of 51, my body's beginning to stiffen up a bit. The first thing I noticed about the Chi Machine was that my back, neck and shoulders have become supple again. Now, as a busy primary school teacher, a job that requires a lot of energy, I wouldn’t be without 15 minutes on my machine every morning.
Mrs S. C., Kent, UK



I have spent a great deal of money over the years on various alternative treatments to relieve my constant back pain, however since I have been using The Chi Machine I have gained enormous relief, my back has not felt this good for years.
Mr I E, Merseyside, UK



I had constant pain from a neck and shoulder problem. X-ray results revealed degenerative changes with disc space narrowing and osteophytosis particularly at C6/7, Partial congenital fusion of C2/3. I needed regular osteopathy treatment and was told there was no cure as it was wear and tear. I have had my Chi Machine for 18 months and since then I have not needed to visit my osteopath. I am totally free from pain, also I have stayed free of colds and flu, and my energy levels have improved greatly.
V.T., Flintshire, UK



As a result of being blown from the roof in May 1996 I fractured my spine and left shoulder. The fractures healed well but the shoulder would only return to 80% normal function after fourteen months.



Having used The Chi Machine twice daily for several weeks, the last twenty degrees of motion (abduction) in my left shoulder was restored. Although I had extensive chiropractic care and acupuncture as well as swimming and other rehabilitation work, the final return to normal function of my left shoulder has only been accomplished using this fantastic little machine. Over the years we have looked at so many physiological therapeutic aids to assist and compliment the chiropractic adjustment but we haven’t found anything that has been truly effective until now. I have personally found an added benefit in the relaxation and meditation state one can enter while using The Chi Machine which has been a major plus in the healing process. The feeling of calmness I attain is valuable in a busy world.
Dr. John A. Hinwood, Dip. P.E. (Syd.) D.C. (Canada)



The Chi Machine, I can recommend it with no doubt in my mind as to its benefits, I have used this machine for therapeutic and health maintaining purposes. It helps physical recovery and can contribute to rejuvenation, it also is good in stress management both mental and physical, and last but not least it gives one a sense of physical and mental well being.
The Chi Machine is the best thing I have ever done for myself in years! Twenty-eight years ago I was pregnant with my first child and I weighed 99 lbs. The baby grew to 9 lbs in less than 9 months! As she grew my bones were softening to get ready for delivery, my back swayed inward, I carried 40 extra pounds in my stomach and I started to waddle as well!! After having a c-section to deliver my baby, I got a migraine that lasted 10 days, and I have suffered for the past 28 years thereafter. After my second child, I gained weight and my figure continually became pear shaped and sedentary. I would spend 3 to 6 days in bed every other week for years. Then, 5 years ago, the migraines started happening every week, so I spent more time in bed, I weigh 165 lbs now, and I feel as though I slept through my life.



Meanwhile, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and severe emphysema. A friend brought over The Chi Machine for him! I tried it for myself for 2 minutes, and it was very difficult for me to stay on my back any longer. When I got up, I had a slight headache, but one Tylenol took care of it! That headache was different because any slight headache becomes a migraine in my life. The next day I tried it again for two minutes and, once again, a slight headache but no migraine- I was reminded that any natural healing is liable to get worse before there are any results! My neck muscles were sore and I could hear crackling in my neck. The vertebra at the base of ray skull was moving! I have had a number of chiropractic and massage therapists try to move my vertebrae during the years. They were not successful. Now it's moving!



I then bought The Chi Machine for myself and continued to use it. I had to tell everyone, that I made one mistake of trying to “work through the pain" only once, I can now tell you if your muscles hurt, cut your time in half just like the book says, and start slower. I have been using The Chi Machine for 4 months, and have not had another migraine in the past two months! The last migraine I experienced, I challenged it as a woman and I worked up to 15 minutes a day. Now I am doing 4 minutes in the morning, and 6 minutes at night. Every joint in my body is moving the right way! I am also walking well for the first time in 28 years, and I can lie on my back for over an hour! I am also getting my shape back. I even have a waistline again! I don’t recall how much I weigh, but I don't feel heavy like before. I can wear a belt and it doesn't look like a ribbon on a box! I've a pain in my tailbone for the past month that is subsiding now! The Chi Machine has helped me start walking right and feeling more like myself everyday. I want to tell everyone that I feel like "Rip Van Winkle!" All my friends are noticing my improvements and want The Chi Machine too! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!

I was in a bad accident back in 1976. I was driving a straight job truck, which is a smaller version of the semi, and I pulled out in front of a semi. The impact was so great that it thrust me through the top of the cab breaking my neck and crushing the right side of my head. I was told that the doctor used a plunger to put my head back in shape. I have had severe back, neck and head pain for 24 years. Well, I was introduced to The Chi Machine and the HotHouse so I went to a meeting to see what it was all about. My first thoughts were that I had to sit for an hour and a half in severe pain without a cigarette. Halfway through the meeting I told the speaker that I was in a lot of pain. He went and got The Chi Machine. I was on The Chi Machine for 2 minutes. Then I went to the HotHouse and was under that for 10 minutes. When I was done, I had more movement in my neck than I had in 24 years. I also had pain in my arms that just hurt to tuck in my shirt and that pain was completely gone. I stayed at the meeting for 3 hours and never craved a cigarette or had any pain standing or sitting. I did, however, have pain in the top of my head, which lasted about 1.5 days. I ordered The Chi Machine and now, after using it, I am full of energy all day long. I feel like I have a new life thanks to The Chi Machine and the HotHouse.
Gilbert Dawson, South Haven, Minnesota, USA



I am writing to tell you of my good experience using The Chi Machine and the HotHouse. Both have helped me at different times with various problems. Being an electrician, I do a lot of reaching and bending.



A couple of months ago, my shoulder was so painful, I couldn't lift my arm without a lot of pain. The last time this happened, I couldn't get my arm up without a lot of pain. The last time this happened I had to get a cortisone shot. I told my wife I was going to have to go to the doctor because of the pain. My wife mentioned she had heard of someone else getting help with his or her shoulder with The Chi Machine, as we had already purchased one. I decided to give it a try. It was on Saturday that I first tried it. By first putting my forearm on The Chi Machine for 20 minutes, a couple of hours after the first treatment I felt some relief. I continued using it once a day for 20 minutes and by Thursday of the following week I had no pain at all and could move my arm in any direction and I didn't 1ose any work. During the Chi treatment I found that using a pillow for support of my hand made it more comfortable. I put The Chi Machine on the table to make it easier to use and made sure I drank the water before and after. Also, I made sure I didn't move my arm after The Chi Machine stopped for about 3 minutes. We also purchased a HotHouse. It has helped my back and neck. I have had a back fusion and I also have a bulging disk, plus chronic neck pain at times. When I had a lot of pain, I felt I would probably need more back or neck surgery. Since using the HotHouse, I feel it is helping me so much and I don't think I need any further surgery for those problems.

I am not sure just where to begin, so I guess I will go back to about this time last year in 1999. Frank had gotten real sick with a viral infection in his lower intestines. He almost died, as you know how stubborn men can get about going to the doctor. Well, I got him to the hospital finally and with some proper medication he started to get better, only to drop his small motorcycle on his ankle while at a service station fueling. This put him on crutches for several weeks, at which time, since he was unable to use that leg, he started losing all his leg muscles. By the time he was off the crutches and had graduated to a cane he was starting to get weaker and just not feeling very well at all. One day he would be worse than the other and then he would have a few good days and then bang he would not even feel like getting out of bed that day. Finally he started feeling well enough (or so he thought) to go out on a few holidays. So off to B.C. we went.



Our third day at the west coast, he started having bladder problems and the water works department was on and off with him. He had laid down for an afternoon nap at the campground when he had to go the bathroom, and couldn't. His water works had shut down completely. So I he was rushed to the nearest hospital, which was in Chilliwack. Hours later they let him leave, but not before the urologist fitted him with a catheter and got the water works to work once again, and they sent us back to Alberta to see our own local doctor. So of course back to Alberta we came, where the local urologist had all the tests done before he could get scheduled into the hospital for an operation on his prostate. Finally four weeks later the operation was done with great success and no signs of cancer, only to find that he had a bladder stone the size of his thumb. These we are told are very rare. One in five hundred people get one. So because there was so much blood in the first major operation, they had him come back 8 days later for another major operation on the stone. This put him back in bed where he was pretty much bed ridden for another six weeks. By now he has been bed ridden for close to four months, so the injured leg from the mishap in June was now almost non-existent as his muscles were completely gone from no exercise.



Then one day Ken brought over The Chi Machine for Frank to use. Well, after just three times on the machine, Frank notices that his leg was a bit better and that he finally had some feeling in it. I might add that with all his sickness, Frank had lost 40 lbs, which was 38 more than he could afford to lose as he is quite small to begin with, and from this, gout had set in so bad that he was having trouble standing up. Walking without a cane was impossible. He has continued to use The Chi Machine daily and his legs are getting better with each passing day and the muscles are finally starting to do their part. We are so thankful for introducing us to this machine that we would recommend it to anyone who has any ailment. Things seem to be coming along just fine and then we were introduced to the HotHouse. So when we tried it for a couple of days, Frank was under it for an hour at a time. After just one hour of treatment he was walking a lot better. The gout pain seems to have subsided a lot and even the water works department was feeling better instead of getting up three to four times during the night. Now he only gets up once. What a difference that HotHouse has made!



I figured that if it was working so well on Frank that I should try these machines on my foot that was giving me some problems. Seems that the doctor figured that I now have flat feet, and from walking a lot my foot had become inflamed. The Chi Machine got oxygen into my system and the inflammation started going away, and after six or seven times on the machine I was walking like I had been doing it for years with no soreness coming back. Well, when the HotHouse came, I figured that this might help my knees that have been giving me problems since I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Wow, with just one 15-minute treatment I was out jogging around the West Side Lake, which I have been unable to do for 5 or 6 years, This machine is wonderful. We were so impressed that we now have our own, so that we can use it daily. The only way to describe The Chi Machine and the HotHouse is that you should not be without one! Thank you again Ken & Leanne!!

I was introduced to the Sun Ancon Exerciser five months ago and have since used it 15 minutes twice per day, a total of more than 250 sessions. I am 58 years old and have played competitive squash for more than 40 years, so my body has been vigorously exercised more than most. Tiredness and muscular stiffness has been accepted by me as something you live with. Since using the Sun Ancon Exerciser I am amazed at how these feelings have disappeared. After a match I feel loose and there seems to be no stiffness. In addition my levels of energy, both physical and mental, are higher than they have been for some years. My body organs are functioning like a well tuned car, it's a fantastic feeling!



Many of my friends are now using the Sun Ancon and experiencing the benefits. Their improved levels of health are being manifested in different ways as their bodies respond to the stimulation received from this amazing machine. They are telling me of less pain, better sleep, more supple back and neck, more energy, more regularity, being more relaxed and much, much more. I plan to use this little wonder for the rest of my life.

In 1960 I was involved in a car accident, where my skull was depressed, and there was a compression of two vertebrae in my neck. There was also some damage to my brain. Acupuncture relieved my neck and shoulders, where my muscles had tightened resulting in my shoulders being too high. Relief was only temporary. About seven years ago, a chiropractor helped me but it too was only temporary relief. My neck would stiffen up again and I was unable to turn my head and look over my shoulders. There was always a grating sound in my neck, always pain in my neck. After 5 minutes on the Sun Ancon machine, I could feel the tension in my neck easing. With use, the muscles in my neck relaxed and my shoulders returned to their correct position.



My hip muscles relaxed, allowing me to bend sideways again. My flexibility returned, skin improved and as a bonus I lost 6 kg in 6-8 weeks. I feel 10 years younger, and look better too.
Lorna Turnball, Australia



The back pain I have lived with since I was ten, when I was hit by a car, is now a thing of the past, with daily use of this machine. Wherever I go, there are compliments on how well I look, my general health has improved as well as my appearance.
Marcia Pierce, Australia



I have been using the Sun Ancon Chi Machine regularly for the last twelve months and the first thing I noticed was a significant increase in my energy levels. I also noticed a distinct improvement in my cervical spine, lumbar spine and sacro-iliac joint, which troubled me frequently. They have been weak areas in the last ten years. But since I have been using the Sun Ancon Chi Machine I seldom feel any discomfort or pain or stiffness and I feel much more confident in my physical abilities. On the rare occasion I do feel some discomfort as a result of over work or incorrect posture, I just get on my machine and the discomfort dissipates. In the past, I have also suffered from constipation from time to time, that is now unheard of.



At first I used the machine twice a day for five minutes and gradually increased the treatment to ten minutes twice a day. However, now I am on a maintenance plan of once a day for ten to fifteen minutes. I have never felt better, I particularly enjoy the relaxation during the treatment and afterwards.



As a massage therapist, I have had the opportunity to observe the benefits that the Sun Ancon Chi Machine has provided for others. One of my clients has MS and is only able to get around in a wheelchair. Consequently, she has problems with lymphoedema. However, after just a couple of treatments, I have witnessed the significant reduction in the size of her ankles, and of course, the relief of the pressure caused by the lymph build up. The Sun Ancon gets the lymph moving, kick-starts the kidneys so that the urinary system is much more fluid than usual. Consequently much of the fluid build up is eliminated and she feels much lighter after the treatment. Her bowels also work better after the treatments.

I retired from my work as a chiropodist prematurely because of severe pain, stiffness and spasm in my neck and shoulders brought on by the postural stresses of the work and from the mysterious and troublesome condition dystonia (spasmodic torticollis). A fellow therapist recommended the machine to me. It is gradually helping my neck and shoulders to feel more comfortable, relaxed and integrated. I wish I'd known about it years ago.

Doctors stress the importance of spinal traction and the adjustment of bones and muscles. An improperly aligned spine leads to sore bones and problems in the main and collateral channels, as well as in the vital organs of the body. Thus, if the spine is out of proper alignment, it can cause such things as migraines, inflammation of the shoulder, spurs, sciatica, stomach aches, gout, and joint pain. These problems can all occur because nerves radiate from the spine to the vital body organs.



The nervous system is the brain's communication system. A crooked spine constricts the peripheral nervous system radiating from it, and if that happens to extend to the stomach, the stomach will be pathologically changed. Vital organs will ache. Severe symptoms such as sciatica and spurs can result. Sciatica patients can be successfully treated by using the Chi Machine for 3 months so long as the 2nd and 5th sacrum joints are not deformed.



A doctor who won the Nobel Prize for brain research, made this statement: "Better than 90% of the energy output of the brain is used in relating the physical body to its gravitational field. The more mechanically distorted a person is, the less energy is available for thinking, metabolism, and healing." It is amazing that 90% of brain activity is used just to keep us upright against gravity! This also explains why distortions in the body can have such far-reaching effects and it shows how the Chi Machine can have such an overall effect on the body. As it relaxes the spinal muscles, this begins to remove the spinal distortions and so the body naturally has more energy available for thinking, metabolism, and healing.



“An electromylograph records the difference in electrical potential and heat difference of the spine and compares the right to the left. The information goes into a computer which gives us a colour print-out of the findings. I had one of these done on my daughter before she went on the Chi Machine for the first time. She was treated for 4 minutes on the Chi Machine followed by another scan on her spine. The difference was astounding! I don't mean to imply that everything was better, but the changes were certainly dramatic!”

In 1987 Connie was injured in a car accident that injured her scapula. She was in constant pain until she started using the Chi Machine. She has also suffered for years with sciatica and again the Chi Machine helped with this also. After using the Chi machine for 2 months she is a different person. She no longer suffers with backaches or sciatica and is more supple. There were times when she could hardly walk.

Connie reports feeling better than she has done in years. She uses her machine for 10-15 minutes at least twice a day and when she has pain — day or night — she uses it for a few minutes.

Vickie has had her Chi Machine since July 1999, when she had a severe problem. Her chiropractor had her use the Chi Machine before he gave her an adjustment. She was so pleased with the results that she bought a Chi Machine from him. Later, she travelled to Florida to see her son who had had back surgery three times. At that time he couldn't tolerate even 2 minutes on the Chi Machine. They then decided to have him try it while sitting in a chair with his feet on the cradle for 10 minutes. That night he felt much better and was able to lie on his back, which he could not do before. He is doing much better now and uses the Chi Machine every day without fail.

I am writing to say how delighted I am with the FIR Belt. As I told you, I broke the upper part of my right humerus in a fall on the ice at the beginning of the year. This type of break can't be imobilised in plaster and is consequently very uncomfortable.



As a result of havine to lie on my back at night, I was only managing to sleep two or three hours before the pain would waken me. Because of exhaustion and having to sit or lie about at awkward angles, my muscles between the shoulder blades went into spasm and began to pull the vertebrae out of alignment, something has happened now and again since I had my accident some years ago. It's very painful and feels as if there is an arrowhead lodged in my spine.



I was in great discomfort and did not know how much longer I could keep going before collapsing through sleep deprivation and pains in my back and arm.



I had bought a Chi Machine from you at the end of last year which I was finding was having the most amazing results in terms of energy gain and general well-being. One of my friends was so impressed by the way I looked that she has since bought a Chi Machine! Because of the broken arm, I couldn't use the machine. One night I suddenly remembered the information I got with the Chi Machine, which included a flyer about the FIR belt and decided to order one.



When it arrived I put it on and within an hour noticed a warmth in my back and a gradual feeling of release. By the end of the day, the muscles between the shoulder blades had relaxed, releasing the tension in the spine and the pain in the area had abated. I kept the belt on all night and managed to get six hours sleep before the pain woke me.



That was about two weeks ago. Since then, I have worn the belt 24 hours a day and have made extraordinary progress. It helps me to sleep and the problem in my back has completely disappeared. I also notice that I now have the most superb, easy carriage and can sit bolt upright for ages without aches and consequent slumping of the muscle in the lumbar region because of the gentle strangely effortless support from the belt.



Digestion and nerves have vastly improved and the arm is knitting fast, due, I am sure in a large part to the abatement of the pain elsewhere and the lessening of exhaustion, both of which seem to be directly connected with the wearing of the belt.



I am tremendously impressed and grateful for what this technology has done for me. As you know, I love going on my Chi Machine and the results I am getting from my FIR belt have convinced me that this is something that I would like more and more people to know about.



There are so many things on the market that promise relief from pain. I have tried all sorts - from magnets to herbs - but I have never got such amazing results as that which I have got from the Sun Ancon products. I am now setting aside the funds to get the HotHouse Machine.



I would like to say thank you to Doctor Shizuo Inoue and his team for this wonderful technology and to all who distribute it. It has really saved my sense of balance during this painful episode and I am truly grateful.

Stress Related Sleep Disorders



After only 3 months of using the Chi Machine, I have lost 9 pounds effortlessly and I'm able to sleep 8 hours at night after years of insomnia.
P. Rickard, Hampshire, UK



Six years ago I was diagnosed with Milroy’s Disease causing lymphoedema throughout my body, and in that time I have gained twenty-five kilos of fluid in the tissues, which has caused toxin build-up and other problems. Two years ago I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and sleep apnoea. Three months ago I was depressed and desperate, as all treatments I had tried for the pain and swelling had failed and I was getting bigger. I was in complete agony with my back and legs to the point where I could not stand for more than twenty minutes or walk for more than ten. Each morning it would take me about two hours to get mobile, and I would constantly fall asleep if I sat down for long.



Having always been an active person who loved tennis and dancing, and having been in the entertainment profession all my life, I found it absolutely heartbreaking not to be able to pursue these activities any longer, not carry out normal duties, and my work was taking a dramatic dive as well, as I could no longer handle the commitments.



Then a miracle happened, and thanks to a kind and caring neighbour, I obtained a Sun Ancon machine. I can’t believe the improvement in only seven weeks! I no longer wake up with blinding headaches and feel so full of energy—it’s amazing. I can now stand for a lot longer, and in fact I am on my feet for hours at a time, and two weeks ago I was able to visit a local market and managed to walk for an hour without stopping to rest. Now I am able to do my own shopping again in one hit and do all my own house cleaning in one day as I used to. I no longer fall asleep when I sit down, and am back working in my profession two or three nights per week. I have not had a sinus attack since using the machine, and my hair and skin have improved greatly. The best news is though, I have lost two kilos in fluid, already.



My seventeen year old daughter recently contracted a severe dose of glandular fever. After spending four days in bed extremely ill, she used the machine and was back at work within two days, completely recovered. The best way to describe my Sun Ancon machine is that it is like a battery charger for the body, and using it for fifteen minutes two or three times a day suits me fine. I couldn’t be happier, it’s given me a new lease of life.
C.L. Goodall, Australia



I have discovered a life-changing -- perhaps life saving -- exerciser that actually lives up to its claim that “It does work. You get the benefit." It works by greatly enhancing the distribution of oxygen and blood flow throughout the body, thereby changing your metabolic rate, and rejuvenating every aspect of your body, while you just lie on the floor (resting your ankles on the machine), breathe deeply and think happy thoughts for fifteen minutes! It is great for people who don't have time or want to exercise or who are self-conscious about their bodies and want privacy. I would not have believed it, had I not experienced it myself!



Since at least 1990, I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. At first, I thought it was just exhaustion from working a 40 hour week and another 40 or more hours in the same week doing volunteer work at a shelter for homeless people. (I had done that every week since 1987). But, in 1992, I discontinued most of that volunteer work and my community service work. Yet, in 1994, I had become so ill that quite literally consciousness left my body. I lost so much weight people started the rumor that I had AIDS. I constantly needed sleep for 4-6 hours after having been awake for only five minutes. It has been a very slow recovery. Every day -- no matter how scorching hot and sultry humid -- no matter how frigid the winter -- I have had to go to my car and sleep during my lunch hour in order to make it through the rest of the afternoon's work. And, I have done that, since at least 1990, even while fearing that sleeping in the parking lot could cost me my job. Still, it was necessary. Until I got The Chi Machine...



Almost immediately I did not HAVE to take a nap during my lunch hour! In fact, if I tried to, I could not go to sleep! I suddenly had sufficient energy to get through the whole day at work and an entire evening of work at home and the energy was alive and evenly distributed throughout the day! It feels just like a miracle! Here's another miracle: on the fifth day, I discovered I had lost 1/2 inch in my chest, waist and hips and THREE inches in my abdomen!!! You know, where men have a “pot belly”, and women look like they will be pregnant until they die. I know, because I matched my measurements against measurements I had taken one month previously. During this time period I had not been exercising, because of a back problem. The only thing that had changed was my having The Chi Machine to use 15 minutes in the morning and again in the evening. (When I first got a borrowed machine, I used it for 15 minutes at a time. Only when I got my own machine did I get the instructions, which say that BEGINNERS SHOULD USE IT FOR 2 OR 3 MINUTES, at first, and then work up to fifteen. So, probably, I got such fast results from '”Jumping right in”. But, I didn't buy this machine for weight loss. I bought it to help me with the excruciating back pain that I had from osteoarthritis (caused not only by "old age," but by old injuries to my back). An X-ray of my back showed osteoporosis (probably created or worsened by my having smoked cigarettes for many years), arthritis, and bone spurs from the injuries. The arthritis literally was dislocating my ribs! And, now one hip is much lower than the other. I was a hurtin' buckaroo! It felt like my back was on fire all the time, and I could hardly get to sleep, much less stay asleep at night because of it. After ONE WEEK of using The Chi Machine, I certainly am not completely cured, but I am ALMOST PAIN FREE!!!!!



I had experienced acupuncture, cranio-sacral therapy, deep connective tissue therapy, Reiki, Kahuna healing, chiropractic visits and massages. Everything helped a lot, but then the pain returned. We didn't know why until we saw the X-ray. It was the machine that worked out the crooked ridges in my back and reduced the pain. The person who massages my back can clearly see the difference.



What else?



* The varicose vein in my ankle is receding and is far less visible.
* The bone spur on my foot is receding. Every day I see a difference and often I’m pain free.
* My vision is improving and my range of peripheral vision has greatly increased. I know this because of an exercise I tried, which I can do far better than I could just a few days ago.
* My thoughts are clearer -- finally got some oxygen to the brain!
* My complexion is clearer and I'm losing the appearance of having “jowls”.
* My neck is much more flexible (it had suffered considerable damage and now is quite mobile with much less pain).
* The area where I had oral surgery is healing at a much faster rate.
* It is helping me with lymph drainage.
* A healer who had worked on me a couple of months before I got The Chi Machine was amazed at how much clearer and healthier my energy field is. It is helping me cleanse and clear the body, mind, spirit and emotions.
* I CAN SLEEP MUCH BETTER AT NIGHT!
* Internal digestive organs, heart, lungs and immune system feel stronger and clearer.



I'm sure this is only the beginning. A chiropractor asked me whether I would continue to use the machine, now that I had comparatively little pain. I told her "I will use this thing as long as there is electricity!" The literature states that 15 minutes of using The Chi Machine is about equivalent to 90 minutes of brisk walking, in terms of body oxygenation. All I know is IT WORKS!



The last thing I ever wanted to be is part of a multi-level marketing operation. But, I literally believe it can benefit almost every person and can save the lives of some! So, I now am a distributor. The machine is not cheap. But, it is the equivalent of the less expensive exercise equipment seen on television -- or the price of the spa I joined and went to about three times -- or the price I pay for vitamins and supplements every 2 months! To me, it can cure the incurable and, therefore, is worth much more than I paid for it. And, it’s a one-time expense!

Stress and Relaxation



The trouble I had been having with my shoulders disappeared soon after I began using my Chi Machine. I use it every night before I go to bed. It totally relaxes me, helping me forget all the tension and troubles of the day, and get a good night's sleep.
Mrs C. O., UK



The Chi Machine, I can recommend it with no doubt in my mind as to its benefits, I have used this machine for therapeutic and health maintaining purposes. It helps physical recovery and can contribute to rejuvenation, it also is good in stress management both mental and physical, and last but not least it gives one a sense of physical and mental well being.

The Chi Machine is a simple-looking little thing. Just an electronic (actually mechanical) box that you rest your ankles on. So simple, I'd decide, it couldn't possibly work.



But intrepid journalist that I am, I duly laid down and switched on.



Once I'd got my ankles in a comfortable position (not easy) and my spine straight, it vibrated my body into ripples. The motion swings your entire body from side to side in a gentle, undulating fashion.



At first it seems like a silly thing to be doing. But you stop giggling as the gentle rhythm soothes and lulls. I could feel the wiggle going from my feet right down my legs, up my body and spine into my neck.



I laid there, head wobbling like David Grey mid-song, aware that I looked a bit ridiculous. But after a few minutes I didn't care; I'd gone with the flow. And when the machine timer suddenly clicked off, I felt quite robbed.



Instructions said I should lie still for a few minutes afterwards. As I did so, I could feel a tingling sensation in my body a boost in circulation, I assumed.



As I got up, my back felt stiff, but it soon eased. After using it a few times, I noticed niggly aches in my back and neck were relieved each time and, bizarrely considering I'd done nothing, the backs of my legs and bottom felt like they had gone through a mild workout.



Although I did feel slightly more energetic, the overriding benefit I felt was one of relaxation. I definitely felt better for those ten-minute sessions.



I felt myself longing for a chi break all day...
Jo Davison, Article in The Sheffield Star newspaper, Friday 4th April, 2003



On September 20th, 1997 I tried The Chi Machine for the first time. I felt the "chi" that everyone was talking about and I was excited about the potential.



September 26th my own machine arrived. We used it for 5 minutes initially. Within a few days my sleeps were far more restful and my temperament was so much better. I was handling my son's pooh-filled nappies better. Dreams were vivid, more clear and able to be totally recalled.



By the first week I had more energy -- I put my clients on the machine, they felt the benefit. First period in years only lasted two days and I felt no discomfort - didn't know it was there. My depression decreased and I had an all over feeling of well-being. For one month use on a steady basis I can report a 2 kg weight loss.



Hearing is returning to my deaf left ear, I use The Chi Machine to help me relax and enhance my digestive process. Thank you.
Anne Therese Clark, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA



Several years ago I was becoming increasingly frustrated with trying to help patients with conditions such as macular degeneration and recurrent attacks of ititis, for which we have no definitive treatments. I began to study nutrition and other alternative healing systems. I also wanted to learn about stress-reduction techniques. Stress adversely affects so many people today, and I believe reducing it should be a physician's priority.



I attended seminars and workshops on mind-body or alternative medicines, gaining insight into various healing programs. At a 1999 workshop, I spotted a demonstration of an unusual machine. Intrigued, I tried it.



I was invited to lie on a mat and place my feet into the device, which was called The Chi Machine. When it was turned on, the machine moved my legs laterally. After 5 minutes it was turned off and I felt simultaneously relaxed and energized.



The Chi Machine was developed by a Japanese physician who was looking for a way to more efficiently oxygenate the body. The wavelike motion of the body on the machine creates a lateral flexion of the spine, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system to open the bronchioles, thereby increasing oxygen exchange and creating an alpha wave state similar to meditation. Fifteen minutes on the machine provides the oxygen equivalent to 90 minutes of brisk walking. Once I discovered the benefits of this alternative treatment, I wanted to share it with everyone, including my patients. I use the machine in a variety of ways in my practice.



Before patients undergo LASIK and other surgeries, we put them on the machine for about 10 minutes. We combine this with another therapy called the HotHouse, a far infrared device. The combination helps our patients relax and enhances their LASIK experience. Our patients are enthusiastic about these therapies. They leave my office rejuvenated.



In the office we also have a "Relaxation Room", where we play relaxing music and have The Chi Machine on a massage table. When patients have had to wait too long to be seen, we instill their eye drops and put them onto the machine. After 15 minutes they become different people, often asking if they can stay on it longer. This reduces stress and any ill will they're feeling for the long wait.



We've introduced this treatment to patients with various conditions and with outstanding results. For example, Jennifer is a 31-year-old cystic fibrosis patient on a waiting list for a lung transplant. When her husband came to me for LASIK, she saw him on the machine and asked if she could have a turn. After 15 minutes, Jennifer said her breathing had significantly improved. She phoned 4 days later to report her physicians found her oxygen levels had also improved. We've also had outstanding success treating patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression and neck and back pain.



I'm excited to present my patients with solutions to chronic complaints. I've discussed this treatment with other ophthalmologists, who are incorporating it into their practices. Because I'm an ophthalmologist, patients come to me to treat their eyes, but as a physician, I want to treat their whole mind and body.
Dr. Nathan Lipton, MD, Dallas, Texas, USA



The relaxation derived from The Chi Machine has been phenomenal! Waking up and getting on the machine every morning is the best. I also use it to alleviate pain. The gentle oscillation opens my pinched nerve channels and realigns my body by relaxing cramped muscles. I have less pain, better sleep, and a better attitude.

Stroke - effects of



In October of 1998, I had a severe stroke. It affected my entire left side. When I was released from the hospital I had very swollen ankles caused by bad circulation and the medication I was on for high blood pressure. I also lost the use of my left arm.



I had physical therapy for the arm, but it didn't help very much. It was at this time that my daughter introduced me to The Chi Machine. I started using it immediately, two times a day for five minutes each time. I worked up to fifteen minutes in the morning and in the evening.



I did not notice anything for three weeks and then one morning, I noticed my ankles were totally normal!!! My left arm continues to improve each week and I now have about 95% use of it.



I have had The Chi Machine for five months now and my swollen ankles have not returned. I can finally say that I feel tingling in my left arm and hand. It took five months, but the circulation is good.



Two other things I've noticed is that I sleep very well at night and I have lost two inches from my waist.
I thank God for my speedy recovery and thank my daughter, Patty, for bringing The Chi Machine into my life.
Marie, Minnesota, USA



My brother-in-law had a stroke four years ago. For 3.5 years he had no use of his right hand and had to hold it with his good hand. He could not write. He loved to fish with my husband, but he will probably never be able to hold another fishing pole because he was right handed and he just couldn't use a fishing pole without his right hand. He dragged his foot when he walked and he had a hard time getting anywhere if there were stairs. He had disorientation in his thinking. He couldn't reason when he was hungry. He would just say, “I'm hungry", instead of acting on his own.



For the past six months he has been on The Chi Machine, the HotHouse and the Enzymes and now 100% of the paralysis is gone! He is better than he was before he had the stroke. He is 58years old, and to be paralyzed for 3 1/2 years and to have all the paralysis go away is nothing short of a miracle! We have had this happen dozens of times, but I just told you this account because it was my family. Can you imagine how my sister feels?

Weight Loss



After only 3 months of using the Chi Machine, I have lost 9 pounds effortlessly and I'm able to sleep 8 hours at night after years of insomnia.
P. Rickard, Hampshire, UK



My wife has lost a tremendous amount of weight. The Chi Machine has completely toned her stomach and given her lots of energy. Her varicose veins are disappearing, and so are her aches and pains. My asthma has been helped significantly and I have not had to use my inhaler at all.
Larry & Martha Wolff, Sacramento, California, USA



My daughter gave me The Chi Machine as a birthday gift last year right after I had surgery on a toe. After using The Chi Machine for several days I felt the blood circulating inside my body and the pain from the wound from the operation totally disappeared. A few days later even the redness and swelling of contusion went away. Very soon I could walk without the aid of a cane and the convalescent period was so short that even the doctors had rarely heard of such a thing.



At present, I insist on using the exerciser two to three times daily. My body weight has dropped more than 20 pounds, and the effect is especially evident in the reduction of fat around the abdomen and buttocks. I could not have imagined there would be so many benefits from using The Chi Machine.



I tell all my relatives and friends about the good news. Dozens of senior citizens are now experiencing varying degrees of improved health — some of them have had chronic and persistent diseases. An elderly man over seventy had a brain concussion and coma after a car accident. After using The Chi Machine he completely recovered within one month, an incredible story!



The Chi Machine brings me health and vitality as well as the appreciation and gratitude from happy users- I whole-heartedly feel that Hsin Ten Enterprise brings great benefit to mankind. I'd like to share this good news with many more people.

Miscellanous
I would whole heartedly recommend the benefits of this Machine to anyone, and encourgage anyone who, for what ever reason, is unable to under take other forms of exercise or healing to try it. I know they would feel the benefits.

I started using The Chi Machine in April 2002. As a result, I have achieved a greater sense of well being. I feel more alert, less hungry and I can now wear clothes that are two sizes smaller than I was wearing at the beginning of the year. When I get that mid-afternoon lull, I can get on The Chi Machine for five minutes and I feel rejuvenated and energized for the rest of the evening.

Two or three weeks ago I had a bad cold with a 102-degree fever and I was taking nebulizer treatments every four hours (or sooner). The first night we got the HotHouse, my nose was plugged up, my lungs were tightening up and I was feeling like I needed to take another treatment, but I laid under the HotHouse instead for 1.5 to 2 hours. When I got up, I could breath deep and my nose was opened up! Yesterday, I was running a Thatcher on the yard and the wind blew grass clippings all over me. In previous years, I haven't been able to even mow the lawn, something like this normally would have made me start sneezing and by evening have an asthma attack. (One year I was even in the hospital for a few days after mowing the lawn). It was a warm muggy day after using these machines, nearly 24 hours later, I haven't had an attack and my nose is no worse than usual, and that's amazing.

In 1989, I became disabled with emphysema - Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It was difficult for me to take a shower or even walk to my car. I was mostly housebound. On my own, I began using a treadmill and an exercise bike. This helped me to some degree and I became resigned to a life of just existing. In January of 1997, I was hospitalized for 6 weeks and almost died. I was told I caught a virus.In December of 1997, I had lung reduction surgery. This operation really changed my life. I was able to shower on my own and go out by myself in my car. I was still on oxygen and feeling a lot better. I still had my disease but my quality of life had greatly improved. Then in December of 1999, I was introduced to The Chi Machine. When my sponsor, whom I have known for the past 20 years, came over with The Chi Machine, I told him I had no intention of buying this before Christmas and that he could go back home. But after being on The Chi Machine twice that evening I ordered it that night! The day after I received The Chi Machine, my 80-year-old brother-in-law from out of town came in to see his chiropractor, After being on The Chi Machine twice, he phoned and canceled his appointment. He said: “I don't need an adjustment. I've been on The Chi Machine.” He is more limber and agile now and feels terrific. Naturally, he now owns a machine. I talk to my sister (who has emphysema) in Ontario every weekend. I was feeling so terrific that I told her about The Chi Machine. After listening to me for two weekends, she ordered one without even trying it out. She said it was the best thing she has ever done. She feels terrific! She even told her doctor about it and he said to keep using it.



In January of 2000, I was diagnosed with a Characinoid tumor. I had to have CT scans, x-rays, blood tests, etc. before it could be determined if I was operable. On February 4, 2000, I went for a blood-gas test. The doctor said that I was 100%!!! Since that time, I have been off oxygen and I cannot describe how terrific I feel- If you have breathing problems, you have nothing to lose by trying The Chi Machine. My friends, when you can't breathe, nothing else matters!

I have had The Chi Machine for almost three weeks. I use it two times a day, at least 10 minutes each time. For 25 years I have suffered from lower lumbar, shoulder and neck stiffness. My muscles, ligaments and tendons are continuously sore. That condition has diminished significantly. I notice more stamina and I sleep more soundly. There has been a noticeable change in my left shoulder rotation - more flexibility. I also do Jin Shin Shitsu. When a client uses the machine before a treatment, the pulses or energy flow seem to come up faster.

My daughter gave me The Chi Machine as a birthday gift last year right after I had surgery on a toe. After using The Chi Machine for several days I felt the blood circulating inside my body and the pain from the wound from the operation totally disappeared. A few days later even the redness and swelling of contusion went away. Very soon I could walk without the aid of a cane and the convalescent period was so short that even the doctors had rarely heard of such a thing.
At present, I insist on using the exerciser two to three times daily. My body weight has dropped more than 20 pounds, and the effect is especially evident in the reduction of fat around the abdomen and buttocks. I could not have imagined there would be so many benefits from using The Chi Machine.
I tell all my relatives and friends about the good news. Dozens of senior citizens are now experiencing varying degrees of improved health — some of them have had chronic and persistent diseases. An elderly man over seventy had a brain concussion and coma after a car accident. After using The Chi Machine he completely recovered within one month, an incredible story!
The Chi Machine brings me health and vitality as well as the appreciation and gratitude from happy users- I whole-heartedly feel that Hsin Ten Enterprise brings great benefit to mankind. I'd like to share this good news with many more people.

I've had prostate problems for the last three years and was steadily getting worse. I tried a friend's Chi Machine and purchased one and then purchased the HotHouse. I didn't get relief right away but I kept using both machines. I began to feel a tingling sensation from my feet to my head and that's when the burning sensation that I had been experiencing when urinating and the frequent trips to the bathroom at night disappeared.My wife has used both machines for pain in her back, knees and feet and it has relieved them. These two machines have made life so much more pleasant. If you're a prisoner in your own home due to prostate problems, get these two machines and start to enjoy life again. In my opinion you couldn't put a dollar to better use.

We got our personal machine on Feb. 12, 2001. We never sold our first machine until March 19th, because when you spend over CAD $800 on a machine nobody else really needs to know. But when you see the difference it's had on the Yonkman family and how it has changed our health, you just have to show your friends how it can help them too. We never realized we had so many problems. Here are just a few and its amazing that after a couple of months we find more illnesses that we have overcome that are a bonus.My son Mitchel, 12 years of age, had an operation at 4 years of age for his varicose veins in his left leg, but still had swelling from the operation since it was not a complete success. After a matter of a few days with The Chi Machine, no more swelling or bruising, and the big thing, no more pain.My oldest daughter has been using The Chi Machine right from the start and finds that her shin splints and the soreness in her knees have disappeared.My middle daughter said that The Chi Machine was not for her. After two months of having the machine, she has seen what a difference it made to the rest of the family. She now books in her time also. She is now a believer since it got rid of cramps in her legs just after a couple of sessions.My wife has seen the most benefits. She had migraines at least once a month, but more like every other week. She would go to the hospital for a needle and two $60 pills, plus spend two days in bed. Yes, no more migraines for over two months, machine paid for. She has not gone to the chiropractor either. She doesn't wear socks to bed and doesn't need me to rub her back to sleep. And if you have constipation kiss it goodbye, if you need something to keep you regular, The Chi Machine works. No more pain in sciatic nerves and bone spurs on feet disappear.For myself, I lost 7 lbs in the first three weeks and I am finding that my pants are still getting looser. My blood pressure is dropping. If you have ever had to come up for air when clipping a toenail just after 6 weeks I can clip all 10, no problem, The increase in flexibility is amazing. I used to snore very loud, the people that know me can assure you of that, but after a month my rumble doesn't wake my wife. And my mouth is still moist in the morning. If you have a tired back, The Chi Machine is a must. Just after a few minutes you're all refreshed and ready to go. But probably the biggest change is the increased energy I have. In the past I would be snoring on the couch at 8 p.m., now it is after 11 p.m. and still going strong.
I've just touched on the most noticeable changes but there is much more - just pull me aside and I will tell you that The Chi Machine has made one huge change in our lives and to the people I have shown, the changes it has made for them in a very short time. Everybody has a different problem. Give The Chi Machine a try and you will be very pleased. We just don't look after our bodies like we should but here is the opportunity to change all that. You will love the results.
Thanks!

Diseases had tortured me for twenty years, and I was a man almost forgotten and abandoned by my community.Twenty years ago, I began to feel more and more fatigued, but I did not know what the cause was. There was tension and pain, and later the disease progressed into general muscular cramps. It happened frequently, sometimes over ten times a day. More and more symptoms occurred, such as headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight loss and emaciation. I would have severe pain after walking ten minutes or more. I could not sit or stand for longer than half an hour at a time.
I lost my ability to work and my family left me, I lived on social welfare and had a very hard time. Year after year I made inquiries about medicine and drugs. I visited doctors of western medicine as well as Chinese traditional medicine. I spent several thousand dollars on acupuncture, moxibustion and massage. I was able to pay my bills through the help of my brothers and sisters, but eventually their help ran out and I became unable to afford to pay doctors, Everyone has his or her own family and other financial burdens. No one could be expected to have enough money to be giving financial aid to someone else for an extended period, When the symptoms broke out, I could do nothing but endure with dogged willpower,
I had a family - a very happy one full of joy. As the disease failed to respond to any medical treatment, there came to be no hope for recovery. Unemployment and poverty caused them all to leave. I lived in the empty home all alone. I was powerless and helpless, without any savings.
Three weeks ago, just by chance, I met a friend named Amy. She recognized my desperate situation, and recommended that I visit a doctor. She has high regards for the doctor.

In mid-August, I made a great effort to make my way over to China Town. On Canal Street, I saw what seemed to be a plain and ordinary clinic. Could it be that a sleeping dragon or a tiger was sleeping there waiting to be discovered? Dr. Yong-Ping Li was the one I was seeking. "Yong" means "forever" or "always" in Chinese and "Ping" means peace". Thus, his name means "always peaceful". His very name conveyed a sense of good wishes and blessings. I certainly hoped it would be so. I entered the clinic with a prayer on my lips.
Dr. Li listened to my major health complaints, occasionally asking some questions. After a general examination he said, "Right now, massage is not appropriate for your disease.” I was puzzled and did not understand what he meant. Was my disease too serious to be cured, or was he afraid that I could not afford the huge expense for treatment? It seemed that he sensed what I was thinking. He explained, "It is not that I’m not willing to treat you by massage. In your case, massage will take 1-2 months to do any good, and you'll need to spend a lot of money. Right now the best choice is to use The Chi Machine."
I had sought out doctors and medicine for twenty years, and none had the desired result. Was it possible that The Chi Machine could do the job?
Dr. Li said, "The Chi Machine produces rhythmical oscillations. You are lying down while doing the exercise, so there is no pressure at all. It produces the beneficial effects of a general massage. It relaxes the muscles and nerves. Tension and cramps will disappear. Aches and pain will be reduced. This oscillating exercise will accelerate general blood circulation, increase metabolism, improve your general well being and regulate the functioning of your nervous system. If you continued doing it for an appropriate length of time, your health will recover.”
The detailed explanation and sincerity of Dr. L made me believe he was not like all the others and was to be trusted. But how was I going to do this? Where was I to get five hundred dollars to buy The Chi Machine? I told Dr. Li of my financial difficulty.
"You may come here and use The Chi Machine every day, two or three times each day free of charge." I could not believe my ears. When Dr. Li repeated it again, “Free of charge for an entire month," I was then sure it was true!
I went to Dr. Li's clinic and used The Chi Machine twice a day. It is now the twelfth day and the aches and pain I had over my whole body have basically disappeared and I have no more cramps in my muscles, I can walk for half an hour without any pain, and I sleep well. Every morning I feel good when I wake up. What a blessing and how wonderful it is!
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Li. The Chi Machine has saved me!

15 minutes of massage on the Chi Machine is equivalent to approximately 90 minutes of walking exercise in terms of oxygenation of the blood!
