Lymphatic System
The Lymphatic System removes excess fluid from the
body’s tissues and returns it to the circulatory system. It helps the body fight infection. It consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph
nodes, and associated lymphoid organs, such as the spleen and tonsils. Lymph vessels form a network of tubes
that reach all over the body. Lymph
is clear fluid containing lymphocytes (T-cells and B-cells of the immune
system) which circulate through the channels of the lymphatic system
carrying waste away from all parts of the body to the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes filter out the wastes in
the lymph, particularly bacteria, preventing it from entering the
bloodstream, while at the same time allowing the lymphocytes to pass
through.
The Original Chi Machine and the Lymphatic
System
If you
are on the Original Chi Machine, you are experiencing the acceleration and
deceleration of the body. The
lymphatic fluid is going through the vessels and there is a one-way valve
pushing and opening repeatedly like a hydraulic jack. Jumping on a rebounder causes the same
type of action. When you are going
up, the valves are closed. When you
are coming down, the valves are opening, picking up more fluid, so whether
you are jumping on a rebounder or getting on the Original Chi Machine you
are going to move lymphatics. This
process happens automatically while on the Original Chi Machine and it is
so relaxing. Even though the overall effect of the Original Chi Machine
versus the rebounder is about equal in generating body electricity, the
Original Chi Machine is simpler and more relaxing to use. Fatigue or physical stress may result
while using the rebounder. The Original Chi Machine supports health without
energy loss, body stress, or effort.
The Chi Machine is done while reclining and relaxed, with weight
removed from the spine.
What Moves the Lymphatics?
The
only natural pump for the lymphatic system are the lungs. This was proven by a medical doctor in
England, Dr. J., who was a Lymphologist.
Dr. J. put a gentleman on a treadmill and had him running on it,
thinking that exercise would move the lymphatics. However, nothing of measurable significance happened. The gentleman was told to stop running,
he stopped running and took a sigh of relief. When he took that big deep breath at the very peak of
inhalation is when the subclavian vein (right from the base of the throat)
went off like a geyser. The lymph
moved dramatically.
This is
why the Original Chi Machine is so important. The lymphatic system works on a negative pressure system and
when you take a deep breath, it pulls the excess water out away from the
cells. If there is too much water
around the cells, they can’t get the oxygen or the glucose they need to
produce the electricity for the body.
If you take chemicals into your body or if you have too much stress,
it dilates the blood vessels allowing blood proteins and water to surround
the cells in the interstitial space.
When
you are on the Original Chi Machine you are pumping the lymphatics through
the natural valve system. The
motion is also pulling the excess water and trapped proteins out of the
interstitial space, allowing oxygen and glucose to come back into the cell.
According
to Dr. Gaston Naessens from France the mobilization of the lymphatic
drainage is critically important.
He has shown that in cancer and other chronic degenerative illnesses
the lymphatic system becomes all clogged up, like gelatin instead of freely
flowing. The Original Chi Machine
mobilizes the lymphatic drainage of the body, according to Dr. J. and his
wife, both Doctors of Chiropractics, who have spent thousands of dollars
researching health related equipment and the Original Chi Machine qualifies
as one of the most important modalities they have tested.
