The Chi Machine Fact Sheet

Within the brain and extending through the core of the spinal column is the central nervous system, and
branching out from the nerve network that reaches every part of the body and provides all body
functioning not under conscious control, (breathing, digestion, heart rate etc.).
This extended "nerve" network is termed the autonomic nervous system and it further divides into the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which provide vital balance to the body's "nerve"
functioning. Any impairment to the spinal alignment or abnormal spinal pressure on vertebrae joints
can impair the autonomic nervous system resulting in minor and major body dysfunction, disorder and
disease.
The spinal column bone marrow is also a source of blood production and immune system globulin
upon which middle aged adults are more dependent, following depletion of globulin production from
the "aged" and shrinking thymus gland.

Utilization Of Full Spinal Movement
The spines design permits sideways "snakelike" movement that serves to relieve vertebrae joint
pressure and thereby promote greater "well being". Modern man fails to exercise this design feature,
part of the reason being that stress of mind creates body tension and rigidity. Spinal movement has
been reduced to a forward and upright torso momentum, is restrained by body tensions.
When we awaken or feel tired, we rise our arms, stretch and yawn, and in the process, flex the spinal
column in a twisting snakelike movement. Instantly we feel a pleasurable sensation of energy
movement and alertness of mind. The reason being that in yawning, the lungs fill with air and greater
oxygenation of cells occurs, pressure on the intervertebral discs momentarily releases and the
autonomic nervous system is stimulated. (Do a "yawning " stretch now to verify the value of such
oxygenation and spinal twist).

Lymph Fluids Influence On Health
Lymph fluid in the body exceed the quantity of blood and one of its functions is to cleanse the body's
waste. Lymph fluid has no "pump" action to move it around the body, but its cleansing of waste-toxic
matter is activated through physical activity. The Chi Machine effectively moves the body's fluids and
aids the Lymphatic system, especially in those who are physically challenged or do not get sufficient
exercise. Such cleansing may cause bad breath and also thirst, water cleanses and aides in lymph
cleansing, so drink plenty of "good" water to hasten the cleansing and remove any breath problem.

Oxygenating The Body
Within the body 75 trillion cells provide the energy needed to carry out every brain function, body
movement, organ function, and other needs of all body systems. Each cell has only two needs to
produce this energy, nutriment from food intake and OXYGEN.
Oxygen "Starvation" of cells can result in immune dysfunction, cardiac symptoms, sleep and respiratory
disorders, blood chemistry disturbance, intestinal problems, anxiety, depression, headaches, fatigue,
stiff neck, shortness of breath, dizziness, to name but a few health problems.
Dr. Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of Japan's Oxygen Health Association, has spent decades researching the
relationship between oxygen levels in the body and the quality of human health. "My research has
convinced me that lack of oxygen is the root of most or perhaps even all disease". --Dr. Inoue
The Chi Machine's ability to oxygenate, tone and strengthen the body increases the feelings of
aliveness well-being -- that is, raises the chi or life force -- in the bodies of those who use the machine
on a daily basis. (Chi is the Chinese word which refers to the life force or life energy.)

Benefits of Using the Chi Machine
CELLULAR ACTIVATION: Massage stimulation to the sympathetic nervous system opens up the
bronchioles to provide maximum oxygen access to the lungs, simultaneously the blood flow to and
from the lungs is increased, enhancing oxygen exchange from the lungs to the blood and therefore to
the body cells, to excite cellular metabolism.
SPINAL BALANCING: With the body relaxed in the lying position with no weight on the spine, the
massage unit will influence a correction to certain conditions of misalignment. Such corrective action
can in turn cure or alleviate complications arising in vertebrae joints from certain spinal misalignment
IMPROVING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: The Sun Ancon CHI Machine stimulates globulin production which
increases the immune system's difference capacity thereby providing greater freedom from disorders
and disease.
BLOOD PRODUCTION: Blood is produced in the spleen and spinal bone marrow. Reduction of
spleenal blood production can arise from the spleen's susceptibility to damage. The massager's action
on the spine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which increases spinal 'marrow' blood
production. Any form of anaemia can be benefited by this massage action
RESTORATION OF BALANCE TO THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: If the parasympathetic and
sympathetic nervous systems fail to ensure balance of function, insomnia, excessive dreaming,
digestive problems, stomach pain. palpitation, anxiety, constipation, neurasthenia and extensive forms
of aches and pains as well as mental stress may surface. The influence of the massager on the
sympathetic nervous system can restore the vital balance to the nervous system, resulting in
restoration of health from such conditions.
EXERCISING INTERNAL ORGANS: Western medical science is beginning to consider ancient eastern
traditions that focus healing and good health on a life force energy which flows in channels through all
living forms. Acupuncture and associated therapies are being increasingly used by western
practitioners to 'invigorate' the life force energy flow to restore health to unhealthy organs. The Chinese
refer to this energy as 'Chi'. CHI Machine will aid in unblocking the 'Chi' pathways and ensure a
maximum flow of this heating source, through all body organs, to restore normal or improved
functioning to Impaired organs and body systems related to such organs.

WHOLE BODY MASSAGE
A full body massage, including internal organs and all body systems, occurs with the massager's use.
Fifteen minutes massage is estimated to be equivalent of walking then thousand paces (about 90
minutes), in terms of body oxygenation. If used with proven relaxation techniques, there's no limit to the
potential scope of healing and fitness enhancement of the body and mind.
The Chi Machine will deliver the best possible lateral "snakelike" movement to the spine with the body
in the ideal therapeutic position. When the machine automatically shuts off, you may experience the
therapeutic benefit of a sensation the Chinese call Chi which refers to the life force or life energy. This
sensation is similar to what athletes call a natural or runners high (an indication of the Chi Machine's
genuine value).
