Imitation Chi Machine:
Violations, Copyright Infringement,
False Advertising, False Claims.
1)
All the imitation Chi Exercise Machine (some
pictured below), were created AFTER the Sun
Ancon/Sun Harmony HTE original Chi Machine ®. None
of the imitations are an exact duplication of the
original due of course to patent rights,
nevertheless, the imitations compare themselves
and frequently discuss the original.
2)
Imitations commonly fail to truthfully address why
the original Chi Machine has only one set speed,
and no added gimmicks. Imitation chi machine
merchants prefer to state there has to be multiple
speeds to accommodate, height, weight and age.
Two companies with variable speeds claim
superiority over the original Chi Machine and all
other imitation machines, and one company has gone
so far as to say they created variable speeds to
accommodate the difference between Asian and
Western anatomy - Personally, we find that very
offensive!
For the record, different
ethnicities may have different facial features,
but our human anatomy is absolutely identical.
In a nutshell, a variable
speed will distort the perfect figure of eight
optimal healing motion energy that 140/145
oscillations per minute creates. If indeed
a decrease or surge in speed was beneficial, Dr.
Inoue would have created the Chi Machine with
variable speeds.
3) Rivalry between companies is
healthy as long as honesty and transparency is
practiced but this is not always the case. Some
imitations have faced legal action from HTE, due
to patent right violations and copyright
infringement.
Lawsuits
4) Plagiarized
information and images has been a common
ongoing challenge over the years frequently
practiced by imitation companies. Many imitation
Chi Machine merchants have deceptively claimed
the EXACT same benefits of Dr. Inoue's
original Sun Ancon Chi Machine and 'warn' buyers
against buying any 'Chi Machine' other then
their own imitation.
They utilize the same facts, statistics, medical
information, physical benefits, background
history - some WORD FOR WORD - and the exact
same graphics, OR alternatively they create a
replication of such, with rewritten, padded
data.
5)
False advertising is rife: One example
being that a few imitation companies offer the
Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine, but at an even higher
price to make their imitation more
appealing - these companies do not even have the
Sun Ancon Chi Machine in stock.
These
same companies discuss Japanese scientist Dr.
Inoue, misleading the reader into believing that
he created their imitation-copycat machine. He of
course did not.
6)
False claim: There is NO first, second,
third or whatever generation of the original Chi
Machine, and no 'advanced version'. The original
Chi Machine internal mechanism has never been
changed, and no multiple speeds added, as no
improvement is needed upon Dr. Inoue's original
concept and design.
7) Poor Quality: A
fast dollar is the primary motive behind many of
the cheapest imitations, usually manufactured in
Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. To quote one vendor
who sells imitation Chi Exercise Machines, this
behavior is "good American business."
Plastic parts, inexpensive construction
materials and poor motors do not indicate a
quality product, as reflected by a low price. It is a fact that some
customers like to pay as little as possible
for a product, yet expect the exact same
health benefits as the original.
YOUR HEALTH is the primary and ONLY motive,
for scientist Dr. Inoue's 38 years of
painstaking medical research.
