Let's go back some, say 38 years into the past:

Now, Doctor, Shizuo Inoue is in Japan, in his backyard, in a kimono leisurely sipping on his green tea, while observing his very own koi pond he gets an epiphany. Dr. Inoue saw a Koi fish, gently swimming in place, and it clicked with him that this fishes figure 8 movement was somehow involved in the biological process that helped keep it oxygenated.

What He was witnessing was the natural movement of the Koi fish and, Dr Inoue realized that he was onto something, and that the movement the Koi fish was performing was the driving force that worked the fishes system, to push fluids and oxygen throughout it's body. Humans use this movement in walking. When you walk, you work your lymphatic system, which helps white blood cells attack any bacteria or viruses they find in your lymph system,which also fights infection¹.

With the help of a team of expert German engineers and physiologists, Dr Inoue created a solid device based on exacting physiological requirements for the best possible results, and the Chi Machine was born.

Nearly 38 years later, Little did he know that this "enlightenment" would lead him into a multi-million dollar business that would cross continents, streaming throughout Asia, the United States, Europe and other far reaching places-all because of what he saw in a fish.

Having stood the test of time, and countless personal trials, the Chi Machine is now, not only an FDA approved, class 1 medical device, but it's sold over 5 million times. That's a pretty impressive track record. I was amazed that so many of these have sold, but you don't hear about it unless you know someone that has used it.

As Alternative medicine makes incredible strides into organic foods, vitamin and mineral supplementation, Far Infrared therapy, and basically getting back to the way things were before we started "simulating" them, along with new breakthroughs in research and stem-cell therapy, we are seeing the emergence of essential elements that can effect our health in ways we never imagined possible. The Chi Machine is being viewed as one of those daily usage icons, like our toothbrush, that literally detoxes our body, oxygenates it, then, it gives perhaps the most relaxing natural sensation that even drugs can't reach, the "Chi Rush".

The Chi Rush is what Yoga people get when they exercise, it's a tingling feeling that is achieved through proper discipline and technique, but you get this every time with the Chi Machine. I have truly never been so relaxed as I have when using this machine. The tension falls off of you as your body is gently coaxed to relax. Now, it took me several nights before I got there, but when it hit, I knew I was hooked.

The incredible thing I found out is what health issues the Chi Machine reaches...

• Lack of exercise and poor circulation
• Tired and sore muscles
• Poor digestion, constipation
• Arthritis, back pain, bone spurs
• Nervousness, general pain and insomnia
• Poor functioning of internal organs
• Asthma and tracheal inflammation
• Menstrual pain, anemia
• Many chronic conditions

The friend of mine that turned me on to the Chi Machine started using it 15 years ago. His son had a problem with attention deficit syndrome. He, in turn had been told to try the machine out with his son and see if it had an effect. He bought the Chi Machine and stuck it in a corner for a week. Finally, his son went and used the Chi Machine, and went to school the next day. His son's teacher called up and asked what they had done to him! He was very focused on his school work. I only use this particular testimony because I personally know this person.

The only problem I have is sharing it with my wife and kids. Well, it takes 15 minutes, and we all have to share. In fact, my 3 year old daughter uses it for 2 minutes, and says "can I use the fishy". I have no idea how she got that out of it, she can't read, but if she uses her intuition she could see that this Chi Machine was truly imitating the fishes movement.

As we enter into a slightly darker side of global warming and a more than casual aloofness to polluting the Earth, we are facing an awareness that we may live longer, but it's not how long we live, it's how well we live. That means you and I are going to see longer years, and it would be better to live them with fully functioning bodies than worn out, toxin-filled bodies, as the Free Radicals are allowed to do their damage.
