Senior Citizen Chi Machine® Testimonials

 1. Mom’s story (at age 88)

(see further below for updates at age 100 and beyond)

I am a senior citizen, and I just turned 88 this month. I first tried the Chi Machine® about a month and a half ago. When I first was invited to use the Chi Machine®, I was a little doubtful about all the things I had heard it might do, but now I believe that it has really helped me in many ways. I am very happy with it, and I have been using it twice a day, working slowly up to about 5 minutes each time.

When I first started using the Chi Machine®, my legs were stiff but now they seem much more flexible. I feel like the Chi Machine® has really helped my legs and it’s also helped my back, neck and circulation. I feel very comfortable using it and I am really happy with it. I have arthritis in my feet and since I have been using the Chi Machine® my feet have been much better. I feel that the Chi Machine® has helped because it makes bowel movements easier and more normal.

I have osteoporosis and scoliosis, and my neck has been cocked far to the side for many years. After using the Chi Machine®, my back seemed to be much better, and my neck appeared much straighter in my mirror. My son told me my neck seemed a little straighter. Later, a lady who often sits behind me in church, and who did not even know I have a Chi Machine®, remarked that my back and neck seemed much straighter than they had looked in the past. I am convinced that the Chi Machine® is helping my back and neck and spine.

The very first time I used it, my ankles and legs became more flexible. They did not seem quite as heavy as they usually did. The more I have used it, the more flexible they have become. And it is now much easier for me to walk. Before I used the machine, I would sometimes need to get up on a chair to get something out of the closet. I would get one foot up with difficulty, and then struggle to try to get my second foot up, but after using the Chi Machine® several times, I could almost hop up on the chair, putting my first foot up there and then bringing the other foot up easily. In the beginning, when I would have to get up from the ground after using the Chi Machine®, it was very difficult for me to do so. After only a few days, this became much easier when I first started.

I have gotten all these benefits from using the Chi Machine® for only 4 or 5 minutes, or less, twice each day, for about a month and a half. At first, I was not too eager to try the Chi Machine® at all, but I finally did so after learning that it was a Class 1 Medical Device. I am so glad now that I have my Chi Machine®.

Note: The above testimonial was given to me, John O’Dwyer, her son, when mom was the young age of 88. See below for updates later in her life.

2. Update on mom (at age 100)

 I’m John O’Dwyer and my mom (Marie) turned 100 years old in 2015. She has outlived all members of her immediate family by many years. One of her brothers made it to age 94 and her father to age 93, but her mother and other brother did not even make it to age 70. Therefore, I believe her amazing health and longevity is due largely to the Chi Machine® along with being open to various forms of natural healing (e.g., alkaline water, herbs and energetic remedies like craniosacral therapy).

Although she stopped driving and bowling around age 97-98, she still uses her Chi Machine® often–as she did on her 100^th birthday. She uses it 20-30 minutes about 3 times a week when she has a caregiver who helps her use the Chi Machine® atop a breadboard on a spare bed.

Over the past dozen years or so, she has sometimes used the Chi Machine® a lot, but less at other times. When her knee was hurting some years ago, she stopped using the Chi Machine®, although I encouraged her to continue to use it. I eventually purchased a device to put under her knees when using the Chi Machine®, even though pillows or cushions will work also. She started with a few minutes and worked up to much more. Her knees improved and her knee pain is a thing of the past.

My Mom is 110% mentally, reading the newspaper daily and working crossword and other puzzles in it. She watches game shows on television (Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune) in addition to sports, cooking and more. She especially loves baseball and is still a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers Booster Club and subscribes to Baseball Digest. She never misses church on Sunday.

Mom’s health is quite good and she lives on her own. She takes no medication and she is in better health than many people 20-30 years younger than she is. I attribute much of that to her use of the Chi Machine®.

3. Final update on mom (at age 101)

Nobody lives forever, Chi Machine® or not. However, mom’s health deteriorated far less rapidly than that of most elderly people as she still continued, with the help of a caregiver to use her Chi Machine® several days a week. In fact, she used it one day and passed in her sleep early the next morning, at age 101. Her mind was incredibly sharp every day of her life, even at age 101. I’m sure this was due, in part, to the use of the amazing Chi Machine® for about 14 years.
