Besides beneficial chiropractic adjustment and therapeutic massage, we offer the original Chi Machine which uses the German exercise physiology which incorporated the patented five characteristics including height, swing frequency, swing travel, swing angle, and circular movement to ensure extensive health benefits, as well as the FIR Hothouse™. Using The Chi Machine and HotHouse in combination is an even more powerful way to balance the energies in your system. CHI MACHINE BENEFITS Multiple benefits include oxygenation, detoxification and lymph drainage, spinal alignment, mental focus, improved circulation, energy and steady weight loss. What is the Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine and what does it do? The original Sun Ancon Chi Machine is the result of 38 years of medical and scientific research by renowned Japanese scientist Dr. Shizou Inoue. The Chi Machine enables the human body to gently move from side to side in a figure of eight (the same way a goldfish swims), maximizing the body's natural absorption of oxygen, using all the movement orbits of the human anatomy. This movement may be compared to a masseuse holding your ankles and swinging you from side to side after a massage.
Precise Oscillation - One Set Speed: The machine has an ankle cradle on the top which oscillates (moves from side to side), at approximately 140/minute - a multiple of the average pulse rate (72) and the cerebro-spinal pump rhythm (12) synchronized with your heart rate, blood pressure and spinal alignment - creating a balanced, rhythmic, relaxing wave-like motion throughout your entire body, thereby oxygenating every cell and tissue via blood circulation, thus enhancing your metabolic rate, aiding detoxification via the lymphatic system, aligning your spine and activating the autonomic nervous system. Health is daily MOVEMENT, which creates OXYGENATION and DETOXIFICATION. The Original Chi Machine gets your body moving, inside and out. The Foundation of Health: Oxygenation and Detoxification of the body only happens through physical movement - these are the two reasons we are advised to exercise so that the body functions at peak performance, thereby making it harder to age and to 'break-down' due to a lifestyle of inactivity, poor diet, toxic medications, negative energy, emotional issues, environmental pollution and EMF's. 1) Daily oxygenation of your cells is critical - the original Chi Machine promotes this. Oxygen deficiency of the body is the proven foundation of multiple illnesses and diseases. Bacteria, viruses and parasites are destroyed in the presence of oxygen, especially cancer. The Sun Ancon Chi Machine aids in maintaining physical wellness and thus the prevention of illness and physical disorders by maximizing supplemental oxygenation of your entire body at cellular level via physical stimulation - Passive Aerobic Exercise. 2) Daily detox of your cells is critical - the original Chi Machine promotes this. Without daily physical movement the Lymphatic System cannot detox your body. Aerobic exercise oxygenates the tissues and moves the lymph around. Lymph is a colorless fluid that bathes every cell in the body. The body has two circulatory systems, one for blood and the other for lymph. Blood is circulated by the heart, whereas the lymph is circulated by physical exercise. Many tissues depend on the lymph to provide nutrients (including oxygen) and carry off wastes. If the lymph does not circulate then the tissues suffocate while stewing in their own acidic waste products (uric acid, lactic acid etc.). - Extract from Acid and Alkaline Food. Benefits for all ages 4yrs to 100yrs - from toddlers to grandparents - all lifestyles. The Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine is for virtually everyone including stressed parents, hyperactive children (ADD/ADHD), inactive office workers, hard working construction workers and manual laborers, military personnel, drug rehab, the physically challenged, and sedentary senior citizens. Athletes: the Chi Machine is used for warming up, enhanced athletic performance and metabolic rates, mental focus and the painless release of lactic acid when used to cool down after dance, athletics, martial arts or yoga. Weight problems: if the Chi Machine is used on a consistent daily basis, natural and steady weight loss will kick in and metabolism improve. Perfect for Seniors or Athletes. Excellent benefits for the frail, physically challenged, seniors, wheelchair bound or bedridden: Due to its low impact operation, the Chi Machine is extremely valuable to those who through age or physical limitations, can't exercise. These people in particular benefit tremendously from the gentle massaging effect created by the oxygenating passive exerciser and its assistance in the movement of lymphatic fluid in the body. The machine relieves aches, pains and stiffness enabling seniors to be more comfortable and mobile. The Chi Machine 'work-out' is done lying down with no pressure, stress or tension applied to any part of your body. NO risk of injury. Heartbeat and blood pressure do not increase. NO stress to your spine, heart, muscles, ligaments, joints or lungs. Physical inactivity leads to depression, disease and decay. The Chi Machine not only gives back mental focus and energy to those who have 'lost it' or need a little help, but kick starts the body in general such as bowel movements become more frequent and insomnia is relieved.     The Sun Ancon Chi Machine continues to build a solid reputation with medical professionals as well as the public, and has been showcased on TV four times worldwide, including "The Doctors" - a respected daily TV health show, broadcast across the USA, Canada and Europe. We also offer the FIR Hothouse™
FIR Hothouse™ produces its unique effect through radiant FIR heat. Its unique arched design enhances the thermal-effect. You get total enjoyment - it is easy to use and very comfortable. It helps you feel great! The Importance of Far Infrared Ray Normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees. Most of our body heat is typically radiated away as far infrared at the 8 ~ 10 micron wavelength. (That is why a room full of people becomes warm.) So, if we generate 8 ~ 10 micron far infrared and direct it at a human body, it matches the radiant energy leaving the body and is best for the body overall comfort. Why the Warm, Comfortable Thermal Feeling? Patented technology and processing for ultra high density radiation. A patented process makes possible 160 degree dispersed radiation to greatly increase radiation density. The upper Radiant Heating Surface is covered with a very fine multi-faceted acute-angle silicon surface manufactured in New Mexico. When rays are scattered in all directions by the countless surfaces created by the silicon crystals, the effectiveness of the 160-degree span is amplified. The radiant transmission area is increased some 10-fold. It simply wouldn't be possible to produce the effective warmth we achieve without the combination of these two design concepts: proper wavelength and a special reflective silicon surface.
How Far Infrared Rays Work Microwave research specialists in Shanghai, China, found that "Chi Gong" masters radiated some sort of energy. They recorded some of the common wavelengths they emanated. Equipment was then manufactured that would radiate energy at these same frequencies. These devices are now being used to treat patients with the same beneficial effect as the "Chi Gong" masters. This has been verified in trials with patients suffering from hypertension and nerve-related diseases. The bodies of ordinary humans can also radiate energy, but it is generally too weak to perceive. When a "Chi Gong" master produces "Chi", its strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people and can only be measured by very sensitive instruments. They can also radiate far infrared ray (FIR) energy of varying frequencies, which is something ordinary people can not do. The varying nature of this energy is very significant. Successful treatment depends entirely on these changing wavelengths. In Chi Gong therapy, Chi radiated by a Chi Gong master is called external Chi. Chi circulating within the body is disturbed, resulting in an imbalance in bodily mechanisms. With the help of "imported energy" - new energy obtained from a Chi master - each mechanism can resume proper function and the disease is cured. This is based on the same principles as acupuncture, electrotherapy, magnetic gas and FIR; they are employed to combat disease and maintain health. When FIR penetrates our bodies, it can be converted into the appropriate energy. This activates the self-regulating systems in our living tissue so as to alleviate the bodily imbalance and lead to recovery. The human body is a natural thermal source. Physicists hold that any thermal source can radiate FIR; therefore, the human body is also a natural FIR radiant source. Research shows that the FIR wavelengths radiated by human skin is in the 3-50 micron range. It turns out that 46% of the total energy radiated by the human body is in the 8 to 14 micron range. Our research also shows that the wavelength radiated from typical infrared lamps (80%) is less than 3 microns. Consequently, they will not have much effect on the human body. The effect of tradition infrared therapy cannot be compared to the new types of FIR. FIR can have considerable effects on the human body: FIR can elevate the temperature of subcutaneous layers thus expanding blood capillaries, stimulating blood circulation, increasing metabolism between blood and tissue, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing cramping. It is also effective in adjusting the autonomic nerve function and reducing the over stimulation of sensory nerves. Therefore, FIR can be not only a beneficial health therapy, but can also be a substitute for other therapeutic modalities. One scientific journal announced, "Because of its heat penetration property, FIR radiates to the meridian points of human body, just as acupuncture needles reach deep into tissue but without leaving any marks on the exterior dermis." Far Infrared Rays Technical Information Far Infrared Rays (FIR), a part of natural sunlight having the longest wavelength, cannot be seen with the naked eye. We we bask in the sun, the sunlight activates every cell in the human body. Since ancient times, people have believed that appropriate exposure to sunshine can maintain and even enhance health. However, long exposure to the summer sun has a negative impact on the skin. This fact is undeniable. Excessive sunlight can lead to freckles or other skin changes, some of which can be detrimental. Although FIR cannot be seen with the naked eye, it has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of FIR's deep penetrating ability. All matter is made up of uniquely arranged atoms and molecules and the molecules are all moving in unison. Molecules are composed of atoms. There is a continuous cyclical vibration among and between those atoms. When molecules are illuminated with electromagnetic radiation of the same intrinsic vibration frequency as the substance itself, the electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed and the amplitude of that substance's molecular vibration is increased. The increased vibration produces heat through friction. Many organic molecules have the same intrinsic vibration frequency as FIR. That's why when FIR, having the same vibration frequency, illuminates a substance, that substance will filter out the FIR and experience a "resonance absorption." This is a process known as "resonance-absorption to heat-generation" with the aid of FIR. In other words, the vibration of atoms and molecules will generate heat and result in resonance absorption. In skin, the result will be elevated dermis temperature, expanded blood capillaries, and stimulated blood circulation. Metabolic disturbances, such as extravagated blood (bruising) will be scavenged, cell tissues are activated and production of enzymes is enhanced. Wastes from the aging process, the result of the natural process of metabolism, and detrimental aqueous substances will be eliminated through the sweat glands. The warming effect of FIR can stimulate metabolism and blood circulation. It can also promote the elimination of such things as poisonous, carcinogenic heavy metals, toxic substances from food processing, lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue, excess sodium associated with hypertension, and uric acid which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin rather than by the kidneys. FIR is helpful in this respect. When we feel hot, we will instinctively seek shade. When we feel cold, we seek the warmth of sunshine. No one teaches us these responses. We have an innate desire for a comfortable temperature. Comfortable temperatures are actually synonymous with a comfortable energy frequency or "wavelength". That wavelength happens to be 8 to 14 microns - the same as FIR. The seventy-five percent of our bodies composed of water, protein, fat and other substances all must function properly to sustain life. When living things absorb FIR of 8 to 14 micron wavelength, they experience resonance absorption. The vibrating movement of molecules in living tissue produces an increase in heat energy which in turn activates cells and enhances metabolism. FIR has three properties: radiation, deep penetration, and resonance absorption. Let's look at the relationship between these three properties and living things. Beneficial Radiation: It means it can directly reach human bodies just light does. For example, sunlight, which is also radiation, reaches earth through the vastness of space. Deep Penetration: FIR can reach well into subcutaneous layers of the body with its deep penetration ability, generating internal warmth suitable for molecule activation in living tissue. Resonance absorption: Once illuminated, there is intrinsic vibration of body components - water, protein, fat, enzymes. And, the interior of molecules - atoms and atomic structures - experience the resonance absorption of FIR of their same frequency. This elevation of molecular energy is known as "resonance and absorption". In summary, FIR not only makes the human body warm, but also can activate bodily functions. In other words, it will enhance and energize both your physical and spiritual states. Warning: This device should NOT be used if you have any acute diseases, open sores, a serious heart condition, are using a pacemaker, or have serious high blood pressure.
