- Danielle Stein, Massage Therapist, Seattle, WA Six years ago I was diagnosed with Milroy's Disease causing lymphoedema throughout my body, and in that time I have gained twenty-five kilos of fluid in the tissues, which has caused toxin build-up and other problems. Two years ago I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and sleep apnoea. Three months ago I was depressed and desperate, as all treaments I had tried for the pain and swelling had failed and I was getting bigger. I was in complete agony with my back and legs to the point where I could not stand for more than twenty minutes or walk for more than ten. Each morning it would take me about two hours to get mobile, and I would constantly fall asleep if I sat down for long. Having always been an active person who loved tennis and dancing, and having been in the entertainment profession all my life, I found it absolutely heartbreaking not to be able to pursue these activities any longer, not carry out normal duties, and my work was taking a dramatic dive as well, as I could no longer handle the commitments. Then a miracle happened, and thanks to a kind and caring neighbour, I obtained a Chi Machine. I can't believe the improvement in only seven weeks! I no longer wake up with blinding headaches and feel so full of energy - it's amazing. I can now stand for a lot longer, and in fact I am on my feet for hours at a time, and two weeks ago I was able to visit a local market and managed to walk for an hour without stopping to rest. Now I am able to do my own shopping again in one go, and do all my own house cleaning in one day as I used to. I no longer fall asleep when I sit down, and am back working in my profession two or three nights per week. I have not had a sinus attack since using the machine, and my hair and skin have improved greatly. The best news is though, I have lost two kilos in fluid, already. My seventeen year old daughter recently contracted a severe dose of glandular fever. After spending four days in bed extremely ill, she used the machine and was back at work within two days, completely recovered.
The best way to describe my Chi Machine is that it is like a battery charger for the body, and using it for fifteen minutes two or three times a day suits me fine. I couldn't be happier, it's given me a new lease of life." - Helen Mark, Johannesburg, South Africa
