Type 2 Diabetes - Lower Back Pain,
Poor Circulation.
I would recommend The Chi Machine in a heartbeat. For 5 months I had
been in constant pain in my lower back. I have had this problem for 25
years on and off but it was finally getting serious. After spending just
10 minutes on the machine I had 5 - 6 hours pain free. The next day I bought
one and I wouldn't give it back if I got a double refund.
It's only been 13 days since I purchased my Chi Machine and I have not
had any significant back pain during that time. If the muscles start feeling
a little tight I use the machine right away and I am fine. I have lost
10 pounds and my feet have stopped swelling. I have Type 2 diabetes and
poor circulation was causing my feet to swell anytime I stood or walked
for more than 15 or 20 minutes. That problem seems to be a thing of the
past. - Sandra.
Diabetes Type B - Poor Circulation, Neuropathy,
Infection.
I am 55 years old, married to my wonderful wife and have two wonderful
sons. I have been self-employed all my life, except for the time I was
in the service. I'm also a diabetic Type B for over 10 years. I went through
the same problems as most diabetics do, lack of circulationin the left
leg, neuropathy cramping of the muscles in the legs and feet.
The feet are the worst when they cramp up in the arch of the foot, you
have never felt such pain in your life.
In the fall of 1998, I scratched the front of the right leg on a rose
bush while cleaning up the yard. This little scratch became infected even
though I cleaned and disinfected it. It wouldn't heal; it just kept getting
more and more infected. When it seemed to me that it wasn't healing, I
went to a doctor. The diagnosis was to further treat it with some different
antibiotic cream. This went on for 4 months, i returned to the doctor everyday
to have the bandages removed and cleaned. When he felt he couldn't do anything
more for me, he recommended me to the diabetics wound center in Minneapolis.
This is a year later, the wound got bigger and it went into the bone
and started to smell. The doctor told me that
they did all they could for me, advised me that the next step would be
to amputate the leg. Of course I didn't want that to happen.
They continued to call the house for me to make an appointment to go to
the hospital. I decided I didn't want to go through all that. Soon after
there was a turn of events. My wife and I were introduced to The Chi Machine.
I first looked at the machine and wasn't very impressed. I started using
the machine - on the 7th day my leg started itching. This might not sound
like much to you, but I haven't had feeling in my right leg for a long
time. I unwrapped the wound and saw that it was all scabbed over and had
started to heal. It is now a year later and my leg is all healed and I
have no more cramps in my feet. As far as I am concerned, the chi machine
saved my life and gave me back the life I wanted to live. - David

Creeping Neuropathy, Foot and Leg Pain, Sores.
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 skeptical 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 Sun Ancon Chi Machine I was experiencing
severe pain in both my legs and feet. The pain was so intense at times
it would straighten me right out for several seconds at a crack. The toes
onboth 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 turning and tossing 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 lack of energy, your sleepless nights, your worry, your pain,
your lack of energy, your sleepless nights, your indigestion and irregularity,
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! - Jerry Winford -

Neuropathy.
In late 1996, 1 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 yrs 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 did not say anything about the neuropathy but as a good salesman he introduced
me to the machine and provided me with the literature audiotape. After
listening to the tape several times and reading the literature I decided
to try the chi 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. - John

Leg Circulation, Energy.
I am a diabetic and the Chi Machine has greatly improved the circulation
in my legs, also I have a lot more energy now. - B.S,
Lancashire, UK.
Neuropathy, Venous Insufficiency - Spasms,
Cholesterol, Spurs.
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 ear 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 re-checked. 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. - Juanita
