Spinal Influence On Health
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.)
