The
inherent figure of eight healing and harmony
occurs when the speed is set at approx 140
oscillations/minute. Slower or faster and the
perfect eight can become a distorted lopsided eight
which not only may surge
blood pressure in prone individuals, but may
also cause back pain, or
possibly exacerbate injuries of the back or spine. No
serious or lasting harm is done, the body will revert
back to it's normal state within a week or two, as
soon as use of the machine is discontinued.
The original Sun
Ancon Chi Machine sets the machine at around 140-145
cycles per minute, matching the highest normal blood
pressure - twice the heart rate. Healthy people can
tolerate even higher frequencies, but not so for
those who are weak. Conversely, a lower frequency
will not product any beneficial effect.
The distributors of
imitation Chi Machines have a theory that the ill
and elderly can go slowly on the machine and sports
people can go fast. NOT TRUE. Imitation Chi
Machines also claim that weight and height play a
role in the oscillation speed of the machine. THEY
DO NOT. The original Sun Ancon Chi Machine is
for ALL body types, height, weight and age groups.
WARNING FOR MULTIPLE SPEED
IMITATION CHI MACHINES:
1) Elderly people are
more prone to high blood pressure, putting them
through the irregular motion eight may
potentially send it surging.
2) Sports
people need to keep their blood pressure low,
and putting them on at high speed may increase
their blood pressure.
Consider this
feedback from two different sources:
a) "A doctor in
the UK had an imitation machine until he took the
BP of all the patients he put on it. He soon
discovered that in every instance it caused their
blood pressure to be raised. Needless to say, he
got rid of the imitation machine and purchased a
Sun Ancon." - Tricia Dickens, UK, 2002.
b) "Imitation chi
machines on the market do not have patents and do
not have the correct frequencies and will probably
cause problems. I worked on two people who used
imitation machines and they got very sick ... one
went into seizures and another was so sick she
couldn't stand up for four days. They were not
using the Sun Ancon Chi Machine." - Dr. L.
Bristol, Naturopath, March 1999.
Internal Mechanism Creates
Uniform Motion:
One of the patents focuses on
the internal mechanism. The main drive mechanism
of the machine is located at the center of the
device. The swinging motion is thus exactly
uniform and equal. With imitation machines, the
drive unit is at the side of the device and the
left and right swing distance is not equal. The
user can sense the imbalance in the strength of
the swinging and this leads one side of the body
to be irritated. This is similar to what textile
or computer operators experience when they repeat
the same motion for many hours and then come up
with pain in the associated parts of the body.
Height and Weight Designed for
Optimal Effect:
Another patent pertains to the
shape of the exerciser. The height and width of
the machine are precisely designed for optimal
effect. The frequency of the swinging motion was
arrived at after 38 years of research by Dr.
Inoue. In other words, a slower oscillation or a
surge in speed, will not produce the exact same
results.
Imitation chi machine users
have reported that a faster or slower speed
caused them minor to extreme discomfort, including
heavy-heartedness, back and spinal pain (most
common complaint), knees and hip pains,
nausea and headaches.
Ask yourself this question ...
If multiple speeds benefited the
body, then why was the original Chi Machine not
created as such by Dr. Inoue? Why, after 30 yrs on the market, has the
original Chi Machine not added multiple speeds?
If you have had an
unpleasant experience with an imitation 'chi
machine' please remember, you usually get
exactly what you pay for.
