The "Chi
Machine"
By Dr. Lipton
Generates "Life
Force" and Ameliorates a Broad Range of Illnesses and Injuries
During the past 30 years,
the Chinese concept of "Chi" -- life force -- has become accepted by
the western world. The most notable indicator of Chi's acceptance is the widespread
acknowledgment that acupuncture -- whose purpose is to release blockages to the
flow of Chi in the human body -- is an effective means of treating a host of
illnesses and injuries.
UNDERSTANDING CHI
Modern (Western) medicine
now believes that Chi (pronounced "chee" whether spelled chi, qi, or
ki) is a form of electricity -- bioelectricity -- that circulates through the
body. Chi is present in every cell and must exist at a sufficient level,
circulating properly, to avoid cellular and organ malfunction.
When your Chi is at too low
a level, or its circulation within your body (through invisible channels known
as meridians) is blocked or disrupted, illness and physical organ damage can develop.
Remedy the situation quickly enough -- by generating Chi or removing the
blockage to reinstate or balance the Chi flow -- and illness will be cured and
organ damage will be prevented. Wait too long, and organ damage occurs. If the
flow ceases entirely, death results.
THE CAUSE OF CHI IMBALANCE
(IMPROPER CIRCULATION)
In both Modern and Chinese
medicine, illness is said to be caused by pathogenic factors. In Modern
medicine the pathogenic factors include bacteria and viruses; but in Chinese
medicine the pathogenic factors are quite different: the "six
excesses" (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire); the "seven
moods", (joy, anger, anxiety, obsession, sorrow, horror, and fear);
intemperance in eating and drinking; improper diet; and too much, or too
little, of: sexual activity, work, or exercise.
Thus when the level of Chi
in the body is sufficient, and the Chi is balanced (circulating properly) --
the pathogenic factors are resisted by the body and the individual remains
healthy. In Modern medicine this is known as "resistance to disease".
When Chi is at too low a level, or is blocked from proper circulation, the body
is left open to attack by the pathogenic factors, and illness results.
RESTORING CHI BALANCE &
GENERATING CHI
There are several traditional
Chinese methods for generating Chi and restoring proper Chi balance, each has
certain "disadvantages" which are peculiar to our western lifestyle.
The most well known of the traditional methods, and the problems with
incorporating them into the Western lifestyle, include:
Chi Kung Exercise: Learning
and gaining proficiency may require substantial time.
Massage: Not always
available when needed.
Acupuncture: Skilled
practitioners may be hard to find.
Herbs: Knowledgeable
herbalists and /or quality herbs may be hard to find.
Meditation: Hard to find
the time and solitude to practice; hard to get the "chattering
monkey" out of your mind.
So accepting the fact that
traditional methods of generating and balancing Chi are difficult to apply,
you might ask if a nontraditional method exists which provides most of the
benefits of the traditional
methods, yet conforms to the constraints of the Western lifestyle.
The answer to that question is yes!
THE CHI MACHINE
In the early '50's, Dr.
Shizuo Inuoue, director of the Japan Health Association, theorized that the
remarkably healthy and well-toned condition of koi (Japanese goldfish) could be
attributed to their undulating swimming motion, which helped to oxygenate their
blood.
Dr. Inoue extended his
theory to humans by examining the relationship between oxygen levels and
quality of health, in a research project lasting 38 years. He concluded that
causing the human body to undulate like a swimming fish would raise the levels
of both blood oxygen and Chi, resulting in substantial health benefits.
Engineers used Dr. Inoue's
basic concept to design the Chi Machine. Weighing just under 16 pounds, the
machine is about the size of a toaster oven, with a footrest on its top. To use
the Chi Machine, you put it on the floor and lie on your back, placing your
ankles in the footrest. When the machine, which operates on standard household
electrical power, is switched on, the footrest oscillates from side to side at
a rate of approx. 140 times per minute.
The motion of the footrest
moves your feet from side to side, causing your entire body to move in an
undulating fashion precisely mimicking the swimming movement of a fish (hence
the Oriental description of the motion: "swimming on land"). Your
feet, which are lying in the footrest, oscillate vigorously, but as that motion
works its way up your body, the intensity of movement becomes progressively
reduced, so that your head, at the opposite end of your body, moves only
slightly.
A session on the Chi
Machine is usually 15 minutes in duration except during an acclimation period
of several days during which the session length is gradually increased from a
starting point of 3-5 minutes. During each session, your blood is oxygenated
and you receive other benefits as described in the next section. When the
session is over, the motion of the footrest ceases and there is an almost
instantaneous movement of Chi from your feet to your head and then to your arms
and hands. The feeling, described as a "strong tingling, suffusing the entire
body" is quite exhilarating and lasts several minutes. With most users,
the Chi flow is felt even at the end of the very first session of only 3-5
minutes -- which makes it a very easy device to demonstrate!
HEALTH BENEFITS OF THE CHI
MACHINE
The Chi Machine is a
registered medical device in Japan, the country of its invention, and users
attribute numerous medical benefits to its use. More than a million Chi
Machines have been placed in homes and offices throughout the world during the
device's thirteen years of existence. The Chi Machine produces systemic effects
(i.e., stimulating blood flow) which results in physical benefits (e.g.,
elimination of jet lag). These include the following.
1. Cellular Activation: The
Chi Machine activates the sympathetic nervous system, which opens up the
bronchioles promoting movement of oxygen into the lungs. As a result oxygen
exchange is increased, providing additional oxygen to the cells.
2. Spinal Balancing: The
undulating movement decompresses vertebra and helps straighten out kinks,
reducing tightness and allowing chiropractic adjustments to hold longer.
3. Exercising Internal
Organs and Generating Chi: The "rush" of Chi after the motion of the
Chi Machine has ceased massages your internal organs, and rearranges the way
the body utilizes Chi, putting it back into balance.
4. Balancing the Autonomic
Nervous System: The pressures and stress of our "modern world" often
produces an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, which can result in
insomnia, digestive difficulties, heart palpitations, constipation, and other
"diseases of civilization". The balancing of Chi by the Chi Machine
brings the autonomic nervous system back into balance, minimizing and/or
eliminating those bothersome and dangerous affliction.
A SPECIAL COMMENT ABOUT
PASSIVE AEROBIC EXERCISE
It is worth taking special
note of a feature of the Chi Machine which is not obvious from the foregoing
list.
Use of the Chi Machine
results in oxygenation of the blood without any physical effort, which means
that neither heart rate nor blood pressure is raised. Thus, the Chi Machine
provides passive aerobic exercise to those who would benefit from it, but who
cannot perform aerobic exercise because their physical condition prohibits
activities that increase heart rate or blood pressure.
The following is an article written by Dr. Nathan Lipton.
A Different Paradigm
by Nathan L. Lipton, M.D., F.A.A.O
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. It is also the
best in the world. We are blessed to be living here so we can benefit from this
advanced form of medical care. When people of means who live elsewhere in the
world get sick -- they will seek out medical care in North America or in one of
the other many countries around the world that offer this approach.
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:
Anklyosing Spondylitis
Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Depression
Emphysema
Fibromyalgia
Lymphoedema Degenerative Disc Disease of the Lumbar and Cervical Spine
Multiple Sclerosis
Muscular Dystrophy
Obesity
Parkinson’s Disease
Peripheral Neuropathy, etc, etc, etc....
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 was
designed and built by God in heaven -- the greatest architect and creator of
all. The good Lord also built into our human anatomy an energy source - which
is called different names by various cultures. 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 trends are clear: More and more people are less and less satisfied with the
state of their health. They are searching for things that will help them
maximize their quality of life. HTE USA is on the cutting edge of the most
powerful shift in health care attitudes in the last 100 years.
Chi Machine as an easy, enjoyable and effortless way to get the Chi energy
flowing
The Chi Machine will aid in
unblocking the 'Chi' pathways and ensure a maximum flow of this healing source,
through all body organs, to restore normal or improved functioning to impaired
organs and body systems related to such organs
The Chi Machine Enables You
To 'Swim On Land'
Be Beautiful - Relax - Sleep - Lose Weight - Detox - Firm Breasts
The free fatty acids do not deposit in the abdomen, and are carried away
through consumption - a process to reduce weight irreplaceable by any other
measures. With regard to the female breast, as a result of the relaxation of
the ligament supporting breast tendon and recovery of elasticity once again,
women will have a full firm breast. The undesired fat deposit in the abdomen
and buttocks will gradually disappear, with the original firmness recovered.
This has been proven by
tens of thousands of female users. It very well could be the ideal approach of
reducing weight and making one beautiful.
Neither medication nor injection is used in this exercise.
This is most appropriate
for those with obesity, arthritis and cardiac-pulmonary patients who are unable
to do physical training. The Chi Machine is the fittest rehabilitation and
health care measure today.
What do I have to lose?
What do I have to gain?
You will lose toxicity, fat, pain and debilitation. You will gain sleep,
energy, fitness and joy when you look in the mirror.
It IS possible to reverse damage, decay and malfunction. The Chi Machine will
do much of it for you.
A healing, exercising, oxygenating, massaging, stimulating and relaxing
method... for a vibrant, healthy mind, body and spirit.
Can you lie on the floor in
your own home or office, and give up a minimum of 4 minutes in your busy day?
Of course you can
The Chi Machine has gained international medical acclaim and a tremendous
reputation
for its solid construction and outstanding health benefits.
Unlike many types of exercise equipment, the Chi Machine is:
a) Easy to use, providing excellent results without stress or injury.
b) Many hospitals worldwide, now highly rate it as THE BEST clinical, medical
and health recovery appliance
- Masseuses, Therapists and Chiropractors in particular, are thrilled and
testify to amazing results.
The price of the exerciser
(Chi machine) is reasonable, the time of the exercise in limited: it is ideal
as a physical training instrument
The Chi Machine's ability
to oxygenate, tone and strengthen the body increases the feelings of
well-being--that is, raises the chi or life force--in the bodies of those who
use the machine on a daily basis.
