History of the Chi Exercise Machine 

Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation causes the fish's whole body to be massaged and provided it with some benefits.

What would be the effect on people,  he wondered,  if we could move like fish?

Engineers took his basic concept and created the technical design for the a Chi Exercise Machine. "The pattern of motion that the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results," says Dr. Inoue. "It relaxes muscles locally, temporarily increases our comfort, adds temporary relief to minor tension in muscles from fatigue or overexertion. It can also increase our sense of comfort, through the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and aches, due to fatigue or overexertion."

Since 1990, over one million Chi Exercise Machines have been sold worldwide. This Machine has gained a tremendous reputation for its solid construction and outstanding benefits. And, unlike many types of medical devices, the Chi Exercise Machine is easy to use, providing excellent results without stress or injury to the body.

When the human body is lying flat on a bed, the neck and waist are elevated. When we are tired after working hard and then try to sleep in bed, our body will ache because our lower back cannot touch the bed. Putting a small pillow under the small of our back will help somewhat. We can observe from the human anatomy that only the concave parts-neck and waist-can rotate-just like a wheel on an axle. Anyone that has used a Chi Exercise Machine understands that when your feet are slightly elevated on the Chi Excercise Machine, you swing from left to right, from foot to waist, from chest to cervical vertebra, your head, even the spinal cord and muscles. A Chi Exercise Machine drives the two pivot points just like a fish swimming in water. Dr. Inoue named it the "goldfish method" inspired by goldfish swimming in water. Why? When you see a goldfish swimming, you observe that it's tail gently swings, then it causes movement of spinal cord and muscles. Thus, the Chi Exercise Machine brings into full play the movement orbits of human anatomy.

The Chi Exercise Machine's ability to oxygenate, tone and strengthen the body increases the feelings of aliveness and well-being--that is, raises the chi of life force--in the bodies of those who use the machine on a daily basis.

Lately, one of the most popular topics of the New Living Medicine arena concerning health is how to supplement the lack of oxygen. Examples are aerobic exercise, yoga, Tai Chi, jogging, swimming, breathing method, etc. However, these exercises alone can not prevent nor cure the diseases. About twenty years ago, I suggested that the oxygen is the major source of health, in other words, lack of oxygen is the root of all illness. This is the foundation of Oxygen Health Theory, and also the result of over forty years of study on health medicine.

The oxygen efficient aerobic exercise mentioned in this book is very simple, use the minimum amount of strength and achieve the maximum amount of exercise result, which will improve the basic characteristics of the body.

Oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can add the flexibility to our life, increase energy, and improve attitude. It can also elevate the awareness of our physical and spiritual beings.

Oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can be done at anytime, at anyplace by anyone, and the result is prominent.

It is only meaningful to lead a healthy, happy and comfortable life. We as human beings always want to maintain good health, longevity, and lead a graceful life.

Whether it is health, beauty, rejuvenation, clear minded, or having a good fortune, these all are contributed to by oxygen. Therefore, "an oxygen efficient body", is the secret to health and longevity. This is the author's main philosophy of oxygen efficient health.
