Summary
The
intent of this summary sheet is not to present a detailed statistical
analysis of the outcomes of the trial but to give you a feeling of the very
positive effects of the Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine. Over the 3-week treatment period there
was a significant loss of fluid from the affected leg with an associated
improvement in how the legs felt.
Once patients ceased treatment there was some return of fluid and
symptoms but not to the level prior to treatment indicating a longer-term
treatment effect. With the loss of
fluid there were improvements in patients’ Quality of Life and ability to
undertake activities of living.
This included an improvement in their leg range of movement that
made exercise, walking up and down stairs and getting dressed in the morning
a lot easier.
There
were also other benefits associated with the use of the Chi Machine, some
patients reported that they found it relaxing and felt it improved their
energy levels and well-being. The
majority of patients were extremely happy with using it in their own home
at their convenience and felt that this gave them control over their
condition. Results show the impact
of the Chi Machine is rapid even for these chronic conditions which
generally had not responded well to previous treatments. They also show a post treatment
effect. The Chi Machine however,
needs to be used daily to gain the best results. Many other parameters wee measured including blood flow,
lymphatic transport capacity and immune system function. These and other relevant outcomes will
be presented in the discussion of the research and linked to the optimal
use of the Chi Machine. Full
details of these findings will be submitted for publications in a learned
International journal and will be presented in full at the forthcoming
International Congress of Lymphology in Genoa Italy and at the World
Phebology Congress in Rome.
