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.)

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 life4orce energy flow to restore health to unhealthy organs. The Chinese refer to this energy as 'Chi'. The Sun Ancon 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).
