Recently, I had a conversation with a friend, a psychiatrist
- about The Chi Machine. Her in-laws have one and are benefiting from its
use. My friend kept asking me to explain what The Chi Machine does and
how it works. I told her everything I knew in response to her question,
but it seemed no matter what I told her, she just couldn't understand.
Finally, I took another fact; I knew that in her specialty, patients are
sometimes treated with ECT (electroconvulsive or shock therapy). I asked
her to tell me how that worked. She struggled to explain telling me how
the ECT "rearranges the ions in the brain etc.", it was obvious that she
really didn't have a clear idea of how that treatment worked. All she did
know was that ECT worked on some patients. I told her The Chi Machine also
worked. After that, she stopped questioning me about The Chi Machine.
Many members of the medical profession don't know what to make of the
Chi Machine. I guess I am an exception. I have always been open to anything
that might help my patients (as well as my family and myself) - even if
it is outside main -stream medicine. I take this approach, because there
are many conditions in my field of ophthalmology, as well as medicine in
general, for which we do not have a cure or satisfactory treatment. Regrettably,
many of my professional colleagues are closed-minded toward anything not
taught in medical school, medical conferences or professional journals.
Another major source of information to doctors comes from detail men
(and women) - representatives from pharmaceutical companies who regularly
call on doctors to educate (i.e. promote) the latest advance from their
company; obviously these individuals are not very objective in what they
impart. Nevertheless, the drug companies have found that their representatives
are able to effectively influence the prescribing habits of the medical
profession.
One of the first patients I introduced to The Chi Machine was Mary Anne
Hill. She and her husband David were in my office for eye exams. Mary Anne
has multiple sclerosis, which required
her to use a wheelchair. After she tried The Chi Machine for 10 minutes
she noticed that the muscles in her legs were not as stiff and became more
mobile; plus she was delighted with how "good she felt". They ordered a
Chi Machine and after using it for a month, she went to the medical school
here in Dallas to see her neurologist. He asked her how she was doing with
her MS and she said, "I am doing fantastic!" Her doctor was a little surprised
and then she informed him she was using her Chi Machine every day and that
was helping her improve more than any other therapy before. He looked at
her and asked, "What's a Chi Machine?" He contacted me and I gave some
information for him.
As an ophthalmologist, I am regularly referred patients by numerous
rheumatologists. Many arthritis patients are prescribed a medication
called Plaquenil, which is an effective drug but has the potential to cause
serious vision problems. The protocol for patients taking Plaquenil requires
them to be checked by an ophthalmologist every 6 months. Fortunately, vision
problems are extremely rare. Since having The Chi Machine and HotHouse,
I have introduced these devices to arthritis
patients who despite excellent care by their rheumatologists were still
very symptomatic. Some began using the Chi Machine, plus, in some cases,
the HotHouse and experienced significant improvement in their symptoms.
When these patients reported improvement to their rheumatologist, the doctors
contacted me for information. To his credit, one rheumatologist purchased
a Chi Machine.
The Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine.
I participate in an online discussion with other ophthalmologists all
over the world who are performing LASIK laser vision correction. Someone
posed the question about how to relax LASIK patients pre-operatively.
I informed the group about how I put my LASIK patients on the Chi Machine
and under the HotHouse for 10 minutes immediately prior to their procedure.
This led to questions and discussion about The Chi Machine. One doctor
ordered the Chi Machine; after he used it himself for a few days, he sent
me an e-mail with a very succinct but powerful message: "It works!"
I am on a mission with The Chi Machine and the HotHouse: to educate
physicians and other healthcare professionals, as well as the public, about
these incredible devices. If I never earned a nickel marketing these products,
I would promote them just as actively as I am presently doing. Obviously,
one doesn't need to be a physician to do this; all of us who believe in
the health benefits of these amazing machines can carry this message to
the world. As a result of our efforts, we will help others to live long
and healthy lives.
A Different Paradigm.
Dr. Nathan Lipton, MD Ophthalmologist.
The predominant type of medicine we have in North America, as well as
in other developed countries, is referred to as Western or allopathic medicine.
The paradigm characterizing this type of medicine is as follows: for a
specific disease - we use a specific therapy, typically medication. Thus
the treatments are disease-specific. So if we have Diabetes we will use
insulin or an oral agent such as Glucophage. If we have another disease
such as Arthritis, insulin or Glucophage will be of no use. We have to
use a drug that is specific for Arthritis.
However there is another paradigm, which can be exemplified by The Chi
Machine for example. In my experience with hundreds of patients - using
The Chi Machine has proven therapeutically beneficial for the following
conditions:
How is this possible? How can a single therapy help so many diverse conditions?
This simply doesn't fit our Western medical paradigm. The answer to the
question "How can The Chi Machine help so many different conditions" is
as follows. The Chi Machine empowers the body to heal whatever pathology
it is afflicting. The human body contains an energy source - which is called
different names by various cultures.
Chi - Our life force.
The Asian culture calls it Qi or CHI
- the East Indian culture labels it Prana. In Jewish terminology, the term
is one that is very similar to the word Chi; that word is Chai. No matter
the name used, they all refer to the same phenomenon. This Chi energy exists
in every human being as a dormant, latent or potential energy source. Often
this energy is present flowing at a very low level, but it is possible
to manifest or activate this energy.
When this is done two things happen:
1. We feel wonderful.
2. Healing of virtually any disease is possible in an accelerated fashion.
The trick is how to stimulate or activate our Chi energy. The great
genius of Dr.
Inoue was his invention of a mechanical device - namely The Chi
Machine as an easy, enjoyable and effortless way to get the Chi energy
flowing. All of us who use and love The Chi Machine know exactly what I
am referring to here. The Chi Machine - in an almost magical fashion -
is able to instantly power up the Chi energy force in our bodies. I have
had some patients - the very first time they use The Chi Machine - describe
that their entire body is vibrating when it stops moving. For many it is
very profound. And the therapeutic results are often extraordinary. This
is the power of The Chi Machine. All of us who have been working with the
Chi Machine - using it ourselves and introducing it to others, are acquainted
with incredible even miraculous healings that have been achieved with the
Chi Machine.
As a physician I never cease to be amazed at what the Chi Machine is
capable of as a treatment device. The greatest joy in life is to help others.
Nothing else even comes close. It is so wonderful to be able to share The
Chi Machine with others who are in pain or who have a condition from which
they have been unable to get relief. The worst thing is for someone to
be suffering from a condition unnecessarily - because they simply don't
know about an effective treatment that is available. Most people have never
heard of The Chi Machine. Our mandate then is to be of service to others
by continuing to spread the word about the amazing Chi Machine.
The
Far Infrared Hothouse.
Dr. Nathan Lipton, MD Ophthalmologist.
Not long after obtaining and discovering the wonderful benefits of the
Chi Machine, I became curious about another device made by the same company,
called the HotHouseor the Far-Infrared Dome.
I ordered it and found it very pleasant to use by itself or in conjunction
with the Chi Machine. Around this time, my wife developed arthritis in
her right hip and big toe. A rheumatologist, who recommended powerful anti-inflammatories
that might have been very effective but can also cause side effects, saw
her. Rather than go the pharmaceutical route, she began using the HotHouse
for two 20 minute sessions daily over her hip and foot. Within one month,
all her symptoms resolved which was very impressive to me. With continued
use, she remains pain-free.
Before long I brought the HotHouse and Chi Machine into my office to
use with patients. The main surgery I perform is LASIK laser vision correction
and I have found it extremely helpful to place all my patients on the Chi
Machine and the HotHouse for 10 minutes before their procedure.
I also introduced the HotHouse to patients whom I felt could benefit
from its use. One of these was Mr. Neil Hendrikson who reported his experience
as follows:
"Dear Dr. Lipton,
Thanks for recommending the FIR HotHouse. I was in terrible pain, gone
to every doctor, MRI, the works. I have bone spurs, and two bulging discs
in my back. I was bedridden, taking pain pills and having terrible back
spasms. I had made an appointment with a pain specialist when I remembered
Dr. Lipton's FIR machine (from HTE).
I had one air freighted to my house.What a miracle! In seven days, no medicine
was needed. My wife even started using the HotHouse for sciatica
with great relief. Thank you Dr. Lipton."
This and other patient's experiences with the HotHouse demonstrated
that far infrared rays have unique therapeutic properties. How does far
infrared work? There is an excellent article in the January 2001 issue
of Alternative Medicine Magazine that addresses this question.
In brief, here is a summary of the mechanisms and benefits of the
HotHouse Far ar Infrared unit:
1. The HotHouse raises body temperature (also known as hyperthermia)
which has many benefits.
a) It promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria,
viruses, fungi and parasites.
b) Second, it modulates the immune system by increasing production of
cytokines (special immune cells that play a very important role in disease
control). In Europe and Central America, people pay exorbitant amounts
of money to bring cultivated cytokines in for their health needs. The HotHouse
promotes the production of our very own (biologically safe) cytokine cells
(without fear of external contamination and excessive costs).
c) Third, it coordinates the immune response against mutated cells.
(Mutated cells are genetic variants that occur randomly or because of environmental
changes; they are usually not favorable to the survival of the person in
whom they occur).

2. The Hothouse helps athletes recover faster from athletic trauma;
especially the combination
of the Hothouse and the Chi Machine, helps tissues repair by increasing
oxygenation to the tissues and reducing the production of lactic acid.
Also, through increased lymph drainage, the accumulated lactic acid from
the injury is resolved sooner. It also promotes rebuilding of injured tissue
by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells
necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth
of cells, DNA syntheses, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue
repair.
3. The Hothouse promotes Chinese meridian regulation. Far infrared
can penetrate up to 4 cm into the body. This excites the vibrational energy
of the molecules and resonates with the cellular frequencies, and thus
promotes the proper flow of energy or chi throughout the body. This in
turn promotes all bioprocesses, increasing metabolism, increasing blood
circulation, and the core body temperature. One hour under the Hothouse
burns over 900 calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature.
4. The Hothouse detoxifies the environmentally patient. Far infrared
brings about significant detoxification of heavy metals including mercury
and other environmental pollutants.
Finally, I will share my own personal experience with far infrared.
Several months ago, I woke up and noticed there was a lump about
the size of a grape on the right side of my neck. It wasn't there the day
before and I felt fine otherwise. What was it? It was likely a lymph node
which certainly is a source of concern. When I got home that evening, I
got under the far infrared unit for 2 hours - when I finished this treatment,
the lump was unchanged. The next morning when I woke up and looked in the
mirror, I was amazed to see the lump had shrunk 80%. I only wish I had
taken a photograph. After another week of treatment, it disappeared.
I know that far infrared
units are used in Europe and Asia to treat almost every health condition
with therapeutically significant results. As a physician I am on a mission
to help educate other physicians about far infrared and how this wonderful
modality can be used to help their patients remain healthy.
NOTE:
Dr. Lipton has since died very unexpectedly, but his dedication and
passion will always be remembered.
