Questions
and Medical Advice:
Pain.
Q: I am also
wondering how much discomfort can be expected for
someone with severe pain?
A: How much discomfort can be expected for
someone with severe pain who uses the machine is
extremely difficult to comment on as bodies vary
greatly. Noticeable reduction in pain levels is often
the case using the machine twice daily as a mainstay
treatment.
Knee.
Q: I have just had surgery on one of
my knees and I am disappointed that I will not be
able to use the Sun Ancon Chi Machine for 3 months
following the surgery. I would be grateful for
advice as to whether it is in order to use the Chi
Machine and if so, for how long and how many times
a day.
A: My belief is that after one month you
should be OK to use the Sun Ancon Chi Machine
providing you place 1 or 2 pillows under your
knees when using the machine.
Chemotherapy.
Q1: A client who is being treated with
chemotherapy is doing well (a count down from 500 to
50) and the doctors are pleased. Do you think the
Sun Ancon Chi Machine would be okay to use whilst
having chemotherapy?
A1: Cancer
does not like oxygen. So increase your usage to x3
per day. The Sun Ancon Chi Machine is not a machine
that 'fixes problems' but it is definitely a support
for the body as a relief from the stress and the
side effects of the condition and chemotherapy.
Length of sessions.
Q2: My local Complementary Cancer Care
center have asked about the time sessions with
regard to their clients using the Chi Machine.
A2:
Patients can use the Sun Ancon Chi Machine
provided they use it for very low levels of time.
Start at 1 or 2 minutes and increase by 1 minute
every 2 weeks. Stop at any level if pain arrives
and reduce to the previous level.
Back Pain.
Q: Can the Chi Machine be used
for a person who has had spine fusion.
A: Natural bony fusion is the strongest fusion
possible. Even partial fusion is extremely strong
and there is no possible way the Sun Ancon Chi
Machine could cause a bony separation or 'undo' the
fusion process. Start at 1 minute at least twice per
day and increase the time by 1 minute per week. The
Sun Ancon Chi Machine is pure aerobic activity and
is gentler on the body than walking.
Cosmetic Surgery.
Q: I have a client who has
recently undergone cosmetic surgery for their upper
and lower eyelids and would like to know how soon
they can resume using their Sun Ancon Chi Machine.
A: After healing, probably about 4 to 6 weeks
the Sun Ancon Chi Machine could be used. Wait 8
weeks after breast implants.
Healthy Digestive Function.
Q: Can the Sun Ancon help
support digestive function?
A: Start at 1 minute and increase time very
slowly, say 1 minute per session every 2 weeks to a
maximum of 10 minutes per session.|
Weak muscles.
Q: How can the Sun Ancon Chi
Machine help someone with weak muscles?
A: Start using the Chi machine at a 30 second
time frame initially. They can increase their time
frame in 30 second units weekly. They may use the
machine 4 to 6 times per day.
Sezures.
Q: Can a person with seizures
use the Sun Ancon Chi Machine? Why is it stated as a
contraindications?
A: The machine can be used for epileptic
patients. The reason that it has been stated that
epilepsy is a contraindication is that some person
may see fit to sue the company if they personally,
or a family member who was in the process of using
the machine had a fit at that time. My personal
belief is that the machine is very soothing and
calming of the nervous system and the outcomes for
an epileptic patient would indeed be positive. It is
important that the patient is supervised the entire
time when using the machine as a precautionary
measure.

Reaction - Healing Crisis
Pace-makers.
Q: Can someone with a pacemaker
use the Sun Ancon Chi Machine, and if so, what are
the boundaries of use?
A: Use the machine at low time levels,
starting at 1 minute daily for one week, then add
one minute each week to a maximum of 10 minutes or
be governed by comfort levels at lower time periods.
Water retention.
Q: Water retention around the
ankles and knee. What time do you recommend for The
Chi Machine.
A: The Sun Ancon Chi Machine can assist people
in all these areas. Start at very low time intervals
of 1 or 2 minutes to start, then add 1 minute per
week to a maximum of between 10 and 15 minutes per
session, depending on the individual's comfort
levels.
Pregnancy and Post Pregnancy.
Q: Can the Sun Ancon Chi
Machine be used during pregnancy?
A:
1) Yes. But to preclude any problems, it should
not be used by those who are not in good health or
are at risk.
2) Suspend using it during
the first trimester and during the final month
before delivery.
3) Use it after the first 6
weeks of pregnancy.
Flinders
University's Clinical Trials
indicates a significant drop in fluids in the
lymphatic system using The Chi Machine.
4) Please consult your
physician for advice if you have any concerns
about using it.
I
have used the Chi Machine with pregnant health
professionals, and is great for well-being and
supporting getting back to shape.
Post
Pregnancy Benefits
Back problems.
Q: I have a client who has back
problems. How will the Sun Ancon Chi Machine help
the side effects?
A: The Sun Ancon Chi Machine will not correct
back problems (such as scoliosis), but will benefit
by providing support with stretch/relax,
stretch/relax action on the spinal muscles to help
stabilize and temporarily relieve muscle pain.
General surgery.
Q: I have just had surgery. Can
I use my Sun Ancon Chi Machine?
A: No. You can not use it unless the wound is
closed and healed, 6-8 weeks. The yard-stick is that
once stitches have been removed and the wound is
healing well then the machine can be used. It's
ALWAYS paramount that these people always start at
low time levels and build their time up slowly over
several weeks.
Outpatient surgery.
Q: What about minor surgery, outpatient
after one day?
A: Minor surgery recovery - 10 days to 2 weeks
should be okay for a relatively fit and well person.
Tooth fillings -
Detoxification.
Q: I have used the Sun Anion Chi
Machine for some months, but I can only use it for
2-3 min.per day. I have so much pain in my body
because I am allergic to my teeth fillings with
silver in them. I am taking them out one by one and
have taken out 9, but I still get very sick after I
have been at the dentist. Is it wise of me to use
the Sun Anion Chi Machine when I get sick. My body
aches as well as the muscles and my stomach, so I
understand that my body is trying to get rid of the
poison. Can I use the machine?
A: Yes,
you can use the machine but only for one or two
minutes per session. Be sure to drink plenty of
water each day. Using the machine 2 to 3 times per
day would be very helpful.
