Shoulders, Sleep, Relaxation, Energy.
The trouble I had been having with my shoulders
disappeared soon after I began using my 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 nights sleep. 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! - Mrs

Back Problem, Sciatic Pain.
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 Sun Ancon Chi Machine is a wonderful help to returning
to full health. Once again, thanks for your advice. - J.N.

Poly Arthritis.
The Chi Machine has great benefits in relaxation
and this goes a long way to helping my well-being and relief from the pain
of poly arthritis. - J. H.,

Recovery, Health Maintenance, Rejuvenation,
Stress Management, Well-Being.
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. - J. W., Wirral, UK.
Flexibility, Diarrhea, Detox, Arthritic Backache.
What the Chi Machine has done for me within the
space of just over 4 weeks is unbelievable!! For the first 3 weeks I used
it for 2/3 minutes 4 times a day; now I use it for 5 minutes twice a day.
The most noticeable changes are that I am now able to raise my arms over
my head - something I haven't been able to do for a few years. I also now
no longer suffer from diarrhea which was an ongoing complaint of mine.
Another factor is that my arthritic backache is not so severe, and I hope
that with continued use it will become even easier. - J.T.,
Clwyd, Wales, UK.
Multiple Sclerosis.
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 discovered it at an MS centre up north," he
said. "The idea is you lie down and rest your feet on it and it sways the
body in different directions, like a fish. It help keeps the muscles moving
and the blood circulating. I feel a real benefit from it."

Multiple Sclerosis doesn't stop this lady from
enjoying life!
I'm Sylvie. I have
Multiple Sclerosis, and have found many ways of living with and stabilising
it through lifestyle changes such as Diet, Nutrition, Exercise & above
all Attitute, Stubbornness, Faith and sheer Determination at the end of
the day.
Buying a mobility scooter .. changed my life,
giving me back my independance... Another "life-changing" purchase I have
made is BUYING A CHI MACHINE. It is a remarkable machine, and helps me
enormously in combatting the daily fatigue I still live with at present.
It energises and revitalises me, as well as giving my legs a rest, a mini
massage, improving circulation, oxygenating my blood and being deeply relaxing.
And the best thing is once you have invested in the machine, it is yours
to use as much or as little as you like for life, as therapies go, that
makes it extremely cost effective.
This little machine is worth it's weight in gold
to me. When I get overwhelmed by fatigue, I simply lie down, breath, and
enjoy. It even lowers the tone in my legs (free physio). When it switches
itself off, you tingle and can really feel the Chi (Energy) and flowing
around your body and you just lie there for a few more minutes enjoy it
all in a deeply relaxed state.
The best thing about the Chi Machine is that is
stops my leg spasms which can keep me awake a night. When my leg is jumping
about and keeping me awake I go on the Chi machine, relax, and 20 minutes
later, I get back into bed and drift off to sleep. It is also effective
in stopping my brain from working overtime, and releasing stress, so enabling
me to get a good nights restful sleep when I'd otherwise be tossing and
turning all night. - Sylvie

M.E./CFS
My husband has built up to 10 minutes 4 times
a day over the past week & we cannot believe the difference in him!!
However we are not stupid, we know there is no cure for M.E./CFS but this
machine is certainly helping even in just a week. Today we went to see
the Osteopath and he also was impressed. Malcolm has suffered with this
for the past 7 years and he has been having treatment from the Osteopath
for the past 2 years to improve the elimination of toxins from his lymph.

M.E.
I have had my Sun Ancon Chi Machine for about
a year, and it has helped me recover from chronic illness. I developed
M.E. 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 like.
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 friend¹s
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
M.E. 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 M.E. 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
M.E. 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. - Maggie

Chilblains, Sleep, Flexibility, Back Pain.
I borrowed the Chi Aerobic exerciser from the
Touch for Health centre for a week. I was suffering from very painful chilblains
and by the end of the week they had virtually cleared and were no longer
causing discomfort. I decided to buy a machine on the strength of this
and my husband and I are both very impressed by the benefit we are getting.
I go to Yoga classes and I now find the movements very much easier. My
back always used to hurt after I had been gardening and any discomfort
I have, goes away. My husband is very impressed and says his golf is much
improved after using the exerciser. We are both sleeping better. We are
going on holiday next week and will certainly take it with us! - Sussex,
UK.
Knee Problem, Mobility.
We purchased an aerobic exerciser a month ago.
I really enjoy using it and a very painful knee is feeling much more comfortable
and I am walking more normally. I expect this improvement to continue.
I certainly feel more energetic and am sleeping much better. It is nice
to know I can maintain my good health by using the Chi Machine every day.
I am now up to six minutes three times daily and I look forward to using
it, especially when I am tired. - Sussex,
UK.
Gas, Bloating, Energy, Detox.
On March 15th, I remember the date because it
was my birthday, I had a very severe pain in my abdomen, with gas and bloating,
so bad that I couldn't bear to wear clothing and almost fainted with the
pain. I continued to have bouts like this for several weeks. I visited
my doctor and the pills he gave me didn't deem to help. He suggested I
might need to investigate further. My friend June, suggested I try her
aerobic exerciser. After only one session, I felt that something moved,
I had a big evacuation and since then have had no pain or discomfort. I
also felt it gave me more energy. I am going to borrow a machine for a
week and I expect I will end up buying one for myself. - Sussex,
UK.
No more sleeping pills!
"Since using the chi machine for ten days, my
husband has not used anymore sleeping pills." - Lia
Beldam, Devon, UK.
Physically and Mentally Handicapped, Circulation
Problems.
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. - Sussex,
UK.
High Blood Pressure.
Having been taking drugs for some time for high
blood pressure, I have been rather delighted at the return of energy that
I have enjoyed since starting to use the machine. I am now on three 4 minute
sessions per day. - Sussex,
UK.
Systemic Lupus - Pain Relief, Spinal Alignment,
Relaxation, Weight Loss, Mobility.
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. - Judy Agostinelli
