CATHY'S PERSONAL TESTIMONIAL:
September 11th, 2001, my eldest daughter's
34th Birthday.
Her small children clustered around us to ask
"Why are you crying, grandma?" as we watched on T.V. the Twin Towers burning,
then collapsing.
My husband and I were in the midst of packing
to go on a trip to Beckley, West Virginia in our motor home. There, I would
see my roommate from nurse's training 39 years prior. Both our Michigan,
and National ESCAPEES (retirement age folks) RV Club Rallys were scheduled
for the next 10 days. We were on staff, but had no desire to go anywhere
as we joined the nation in shock and grief.
I was a basket case, STRESS causing severe bladder
pain due to the Interstitial Cystitis (IC) I'd had for almost twenty years.
The pain was so bad it felt like the back pains I'd felt during delivery
of my children. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) along with the Interstitial
Cystitis had been a viscious cycle for me causing severe SLEEP DEPRIVATION
since about 1989.
While working full time as an R.N. in a long term
care facility, there were a few years when I'd get up between six and twelve
times at night to empty my bladder of as little as a tablespoon. Sometimes
I'd have to sit and WAIT for ten minutes for my bladder to actually FEEL
EMPTY so I could TRY to sleep. A time in my life when I lived with DESPERATION
daily!!.
Back to September 11th 2001
Every cell in my body screamed: STAY HOME, as
we left for our R.V. Rallys first in Michigan, then in W.Virginia. I hated
leaving our daughter and her children; we were all uncertain about what
further attacks there might be on our nation. Remember, all planes had
been grounded so mail service was interrupted. The delivery of food supplement
packets I'd received by mail every month for six years, was uncertain.
I had relied on this LIFEPAK to alleviate my bladder pain. What if I couldn't
get it, or the ingredients were no longer available?
Fast Forward to Beckley, W. Va. October 2001
In the Indoor Market of this National Escapees
Rally there were booths for various businesses. One booth held
The Chi
Machine and Hot House from Hsin Ten Enterprises (HTE).
I watched as people got down onto the carpeted surface, placed their ankles
on the Chi Machine and lay on their backs as it oscillated side to side.
Their bodies jiggled sort of like when a fish swims. They also demo'd the
Far Infrared HotHouse placing a dome, the source of the far
Infrared heat, over backs, shoulders or arms, as requested by each
person.
When it was my turn, I asked them to place this
HotHouse arched over my bladder, while my ankles were on the Chi Machine.
They set the timer for FOUR MINUTES.
To my AMAZEMENT, MY BLADDER PAIN WAS GONE!!! In
FOUR MINUTES!!! I noticed that my bladder even emptied like normal........I
didn't have to sit and wait!!
I thought "Well, this is wonderful, I wonder how
long this will last." I went back to that booth the next three mornings,
they gave me FOUR MINUTES on both the Chi Machine and Hot House (HH). Every
day my bladder felt better, emptied normally, and I was PAIN FREE!!!! The
second day I told my husband "This is definitely HELPING my bladder!!"
I was SO RELIEVED! I had been UPTIGHT for so long, I noticed that all of
a sudden, I could TAKE A DEEP BREATH...... the Chi Machine and Hot House
had not only ALLEVIATED ALL MY PAIN, but had also caused me to RELAX!!
Both machines were non-invasive, and NOT prescription
drugs, which I avoided. My reason for avoiding Rx medications? My mother
died at the very young age of 57 while taking NINETEEN DIFFERENT PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATIONS. She was chronically ill. as a result I took responsibility
often for our household and my 3 younger siblings. As an adult, I vowed
to find a better way for the IC and RLS.
The fourth morning of the rally, I purchased both
the Chi Machine and Hot House. I didn't even understand how they worked
yet. I just knew THEY DID!! My thinking was that they would be IN MY HOME,
PAID FOR, then I wouldn't have to ask a doctor's permission, nor get in
my car and DRIVE TO an appointment. I could use them WHENEVER I NEEDED
TO!!!
Fast forward to November, 2004
I've been using both the Chi Machine and Hot
House morning and night, since receiving them in October, 2001. In the
morning it revs me up; at bedtime it relaxes me, and I fall asleep sometimes
while using them! I even took them along in our 23 foot class C motor home
for six week trips to both Canada and Texas. I cushioned them with pillows,
as we drove over roads so rough I feared it would shake our motor home
to pieces! No problem!
I put the HotHouse over my chest and sinuses when
I have problems there. I can use the Far Infrared heat any place on my
body. My husband, family members and my 82 year old friend Lucy, love to
use them both. My grandchildren ages 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 16, and 18 ALL
love the Chi Machine!!! ...they even compete to get to it first.
MY DIABETIC FRIEND NOW HAS HIS OWN CHI MACHINE
2004
Louis age 65 years old is diabetic and suffers
from pain in his feet. He's also had surgery on his lower and mid back.
For two years after I got my machines, he came to my house on many occasions
to use them. The first time he tried my Chi Machine he said it stopped
the pain in his feet for two hours (after using it FOUR MINUTES). After
30-45 minutes with the HotHouse on his back, he reported GREAT! This summer
he bought his own Chi Machine because it helps his feet so much.
THE RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME FOUNDATION:
819 Second Street SW, Rochester, MN - www.rls.org
The Annual Update Report 2004, contains an article
about Myriam Hollock, whose late husband suffered terribly from RLS during
the last 5 years of his life. It says that in addition to medical treatments
for RLS, there are some "non-pharmaceutical treatments including THE
CHI MACHINE which have benefited other people she knows in their battle
against RLS"
