"And That's Not All"
What the Chi Has Done for Me, Victor Hafichuk
As I begin to write this testimony, I am aware that it may come
across as a biased sales pitch. I hate that from myself or from
anyone else, and so do you. However, I have to speak and have good
reason to do so.
I believe the Chi Machine is one of the most wonderful recent
mechanical inventions made. Why? Because it has built into it some
wonderful principles that have greatly benefited my health and
that of many others I personally
know. Let me elaborate.
First, let me say that its apparent simplicity is deceptive. Don't
let it fool you. When a friend first introduced the Chi machine
to us, I thought, "What can this gadget do for anybody, especially
me?" I wasn't impressed. But he left it with us for a few days
and we began to try it out. My aunt immediately took to it and
said, "Victor, I like what it does for me!" At first, I found nothing
impressive, but after about 5 or 6 tries, I began to experience
that tingling in my body that everybody else who was using the
Chi was talking about...that "life force," which is what the Chinese
word "chi" means.
But that's not all. My neck was beginning to feel better. I had
an injury to the vertebrae in my neck when I was 14, which has
given me pain and discomfort ever since (41 years). I have to say
that chiropractic treatment has helped me very much but there was
always the need to continue going on a regular basis. When I began
to use the Chi, it wasn't long, maybe about 3 weeks, before I began
to realize that I was feeling better. Not only was the discomfort
gone but also I had a sense of well being I hadn't had before to
the same degree or level.
Why I had doubted that the Chi Machine would help my neck was
because the main action occurs at the feet and by the time it comes
to the neck, there is little left, apparently. I was surprised,
and pleasantly so.
Since using the Chi Machine, my aunt hasn't been to a chiropractor
in five months though she had been going regularly, and her two
sons seldom go now though they had been going frequently.
And that's not all. I found that I was getting energy! Before,
I often felt fatigued and would not feel like getting up many mornings.
I suddenly found myself waking at about 3:30 in the morning, refreshed
and ready to go...full of energy! I suppose that can be good or
bad, depending. I prefer energy to fatigue.
And that's not all. One night I found myself breathing with ease
through my nose. All my life I hadn't had that ease of breathing
with my mouth closed (you know how you can wake up with drool pools
on your pillow?). A friend, Paul Cohen, called me from Helena coincidentally
and told me he had discovered the same thing using the Chi Machine. "My
left nostril is clear, Victor," he said. I said, "Same here!" (The
last time my nasals were like that was in a swimming pool over
30 years ago when my nose somehow cleared...I don't know how.)
And that's not all. I didn't even realize I had discomfort in
my legs day and night...I had lived with it much of my life. You
see, I messed my right knee up badly in a skiing accident in 1971
and my other knee bends too far backward. Physiotherapists told
me I needed to learn to stand with the knee slightly forward or
I would suffer in later years. I never could learn that. But they
were right. Hence the discomfort in both legs. At night, I would
toss and turn, put my legs on a pillow or gather covers between
my knees to help. After about 3 months on the Chi, I realized I
wasn't having that discomfort anymore! I had not realized how much
I was suffering, until the pain was gone.
And that's not all. I also suffered from sciatica, and chiropractors
did not help me there. I went for walks to try and work it out,
which helped but not a lot. After three months on the Chi, I had
no sciatica.
And that's not all. (Yes, I have been road kill.) I had bursitis
in my shoulders...from subluxations in the neck due to my injury,
I believe. Chiropractic treatments helped immensely. However, I
could not rid myself completely from stiffness and pain. I could
not raise my arms straight up or lay them on the floor over my
head comfortably. That too has changed for me since the Chi Machine
(3 months).
And that's not all. On occasion, while traveling, I would get
constipated and when that happened, it usually lasted 2 or 3 days.
I have discovered that since I have been using the Chi, I still
get constipated but it only lasts a day. Coincidence? It can only
be the Chi, because nothing else has changed and I'm getting all
these benefits that so many others are claiming as well in using
the Chi Machine.
And that's not all. I sleep better nights. And who wouldn't with
all the things the Chi Machine is doing for me?
And that's not all. One morning, after 3 ½ months on the Chi,
I awoke and looked at my bedroom closet. I saw disarray and I saw
what I could do about it right there and then. That sort of thing
had never happened to me before. You see, I have lived with a disorganized
mind...ask my wife, ask my friends and those who know me. I saw
all the clanging metal hangers, making a noise, alarming me when
I would have to silence them to keep from waking others; I saw
that I didn't need them; I removed the spares that I never used;
I took clothing that I seldom wore from the center of the closet
and shoved it to the side; I took clothing that I used daily and
put it in the center. All the time, subconsciously, I knew there
were things bugging me there, but I never had the mind to identify
and solve. Suddenly it was all there.
As well, that morning I had a number of unrelated things on my
mind that would come to me in the night and early morning. Nothing
unusual about that. What was unusual was that
I remembered every one of them so that I could write them all down.
Very seldom could I do that. I was always found myself troubled
and pondering in the next days what it was I had forgotten and
couldn't write them down. This was new!
I also had a great realization dawn on me then. What a morning
that was! Since then, I have been remembering more, thinking more
clearly, and enjoying it. I have to admit, however, that I can't
honestly say it was the Chi Machine that did this particular thing
for me because I have been taking a supplement called "Brain Booster" for
a few weeks. Maybe in this matter, the Chi Machine doesn't get
the credit. I suspect it, though, because the brain needs a good
oxygen supply, and the Chi supplies it.
And here's more. Though the company does not claim the Chi Machine
to be a weight loss apparatus, many people had testified to losing
weight without dieting since using the Chi Machine. Always fighting
weight, I suddenly realized that though my weight had been steadily
climbing, it had suddenly leveled off and began to go down. Four
pounds in four months. No dieting. The Chi Machine is the only
thing to which I can attribute that weight loss, and it is confirmed
by many others.
And that's still not all. I will not advocate replacing exercise
with the Chi Machine. I don't believe that would be right at all.
But, you know, when I don't get out for my 1 or 2 mile walks to
control weight and get exercise now, I don't feel so guilty if
I get on the Chi Machine. I have some mental mercy here. I know
I'm losing weight and not gaining; I know I'm getting exercise
benefits, including that all important oxygen.
And the benefits keep coming in. A few days ago, I worked two
days in the yard, mowing by hand about half an acre, raked leaves
and wheelbarrowed a total of about a yard of gravel in 6 trips
on a slight uphill stretch. At 55, I think most people would appreciate
that you don't do that kind of work once a year and not feel it
the next day. Right after work that evening, as usual, I went on
the Chi Machine. I slept like a baby that night, and, the next
morning, had no stiffness whatsoever.
I'm not finished. I enjoy the Chi Machine. I look forward to getting
on it, unlike an exercise machine. You know why? I do! Two reasons:
I don't have to do the work...the Chi Machine does it. It
gives exercise benefits in short order, without the stress
and strain.
I get the exhilaration from it that long distance runners,
for example, may get after running for some time. But without
the work and discomfort! I love it. One lady tells me that
when she gets on it for 30 minutes, it is like an "out of body" experience.
I haven't gotten there. I'm at about 12 minutes. Editor's
Note: Not that you need more than that. Most use the
Chi Machine between 10 and 12 minutes per session.
Why does the Chi Machine do all this? Simple...I think. It was
invented by a Japanese doctor, Dr. Shizuo Inoue, after 38 years
of research into how oxygen affects the human system. He and his
colleagues concluded that lack of oxygen was the cause of most,
if not all, illness. We simply do not get enough of it. He designed
a precise machine to provide that oxygen, simply, effectively,
safely, cheaply, and enjoyably. It stimulates the lymphatic system;
it services the immune system; it gives the body the wherewith
to deal with any problems it encounters, by itself. That is why
anybody and everybody benefits.
I call the Chi Machine and the HotHouse (FIR Dome) (another wonderful
invention this same company sells) private, portable, preventative
and curative HOSPITALS...The enjoyable and effective kind. YES.
Well, I may not have the dramatic testimony and results that many
others have had with the Chi Machine, in short order, like getting
a remarkable measure of victory over arthritis, Parkinson's disease,
diabetes, varicose veins, asthma, fibromyalgia, respiratory and
circulatory problems, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Attention Deficit
Disorder, migraines, stress, the list goes on and on...but I can't
complain one bit. I'd pay much more for this machine. I am thankful
that a fellow in Lethbridge was crippled up enough to try the Chi
Machine, discover the benefits of it in a matter of days, then
share it with others who in turn shared it with us.
The Chi Machine helps my wife and my only son of nine years. It
helps all those I know who use it (especially the aged and infirm)
when they use it regularly...even when they don't. I can't help
but talk about it. I haven't been as excited about a product on
the market for a long time. And testimonies from so many others
keep coming in.
Others promise more than they deliver. It's the opposite with
the Chi Machine. It delivers more than it promises. That's okay
by me. I would expect the same for you.
And one more thing. Yes, we sell these now...in a manner of speaking.
I get so excited about these machines, I have to talk...and the
Chi sells itself when people only get a chance to try it for themselves.
You too will find the Chi paying off both health wise and financially.
There aren't that many people today who don't need some extra money...and
there are few ways more enjoyable and rewarding than by helping
others recover and maintain health.
Addendum to My Chi Machine Testimony
(In other words, "And That's Not All")
August 28, 2001
After a few more months of using the Chi Machine, I must report
yet other very significant improvements to my health on this day,
28 August, 2001. For the past 5 years or so, I have had a pain
in the groin, deep in the crease where leg meets abdomen. It would
come and go, and I never did determine the cause of its recurrence
nor its withdrawal. I suddenly realized that it is gone. The only
difference in my life that I know of is the Chi Machine. I suppose
things pass with age, but these kinds of things are known to get
worse, not disappear.
My father had poor circulation in his feet. In my teen years,
I experienced the same. I was told I had inherited the problem
from my father. About six to eight weeks ago, I began to experience,
in the night only, a pleasant itch in the balls of my feet, at
the base of the toes. I knew something good was happening. I believe
my circulation in my feet, after nearly half a century of otherwise,
is improved.
There's more. I know of people who, in their old age, after only
two weeks on the Chi Machine, experienced a visible reduction in
the size of their varicose veins, as well as great relief of discomfort
and pain. I have had varicose veins for many years. Though they
never bothered me, mine did not reduce in size, until about 2 months
ago...after six months of using the Chi. So what if it took a bit
longer? It's wonderful that it happened.
And that's still not all...there's better yet! About 7 or 8 years
ago, I suddenly began to experience incontinence (Another way to
say it is that I had to have a bathroom nearby or, 20 minutes from
the time I had to go, I'd pee my pants). That problem was with
me...until recently. I realized it was gone when we took a road
trip to a convention in Las Vegas. At one point in that trip I
had to go slightly. I left it and we kept driving. We passed rest
area and town after rest area and town until about 200 miles and
over 3 hours later, we finally pulled over! I don't think that
many people considered normal can do that. I don't recall ever
being able to do that. But I did it this time. No more incontinence.
And we were drinking our water all the way too. The only difference
in lifestyle, aside from the fact that I haven't been getting my
exercise, is the Chi. I have to confess also that in the last five
years, we have been eating much more organic. That should make
a difference too, and quite honestly, that may be the prime cause
of the correction. But I think the Chi Machine gets credit here,
at least in part. I must insert here that God has done wonderful
things for me recently, and to Him belongs all glory and credit,
one way or another.
I'm not finished! Last year and before, I would get off the lawn
tractor after only about 60 to 80 minutes of mowing, finding myself
stiff and needing to take a minute or two to recuperate. On this
trip I just told you about, we drove 1200 miles there and 1200
back. We drove some long stretches at a time, and never
once did I get out of the car stiff in the least. It seemed
like I had been sitting and driving for only 5 or 10 minutes. Perhaps
this may be hard for some to believe; it was hard for even me to
believe, but I can only tell you. You'll have to decide for yourself.
And there's more! Not only have I had wonderful experiences physically,
but mentally. Because of the Chi Machine, I find myself more comfortable
and with more confidence socially. While chiropractic adjustments
greatly helped to relieve me of anxiety, fear and depression caused
by my neck injury, the Chi Machine helped even more. I am so very
thankful to God for having provided.
My Chi Machine testimony was written in 2001. Just an update
for the record:
As of May 2006, I have had no sciatica problems since 2001, and
my neck is much better. My aunt (Lois) has not been to a chiropractor
in all these years, ever since she began using the Chi Machine.
We all continue to use the HTE machines (Chi
Machine, HotHouse, Electro
Reflex Energizer) with great satisfaction and comfort.
