One manufacturer suggests using the passive aerobic exerciser with "both feet on one ankle rest" to focus on the hip region.

Where did it all begin?

The original and first manufactured product "The Chi Machine" was developed by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, an amazing medical visionary and inventor in Japan. Dr. Inoue has spent decades researching the relationship between body movement and minor muscular pain & tension caused by fatigue or overexertion. He was inspired by watching goldfish swimming. Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation causes the fish's whole body to be massaged and provided it with some benefits.

Engineers took his basic concept and created the technical design for the Chi 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 Machine have been sold worldwide. The Chi Machine has gained a tremendous reputation for its solid construction and outstanding benefits. And, unlike many types of medical devices, the Chi 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 the Chi Machine understands that when your feet are slightly elevated on the Chi Machine, you swing from left to right, from foot to waist, from chest to cervical vertebra, your head, even the spinal cord and muscles. Chi 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 Machine® brings into full play the movement orbits of human anatomy.

The Chi 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.

Recommendation of this book
Dr. Seijiro Yanagida
Chairman of Japan Health Association

The ultimate wish of mankind is "maintaining strong health and living forever." To focus on this theory, Dr. Shizuo suggested an oxygen efficient health philosophy "efficient use of oxygen will form a healthy body". This is the secret to longevity. As matter of fact, the conclusion of many years of study on health medicine is that the method is very simple and everyone can apply this theory.

I have about 70 years of meditation experience. Currently, I formed a Japanese Meditation Association. In order to supplement the oxygen, we need to have correct posture with straight backbone, which complies with the "gravity philosophy," focus Chi in the diaphragm, and adjust breathing through correct attitude of mediation. I am ninety four years old, I have good health, maintaining emotional stability, clear minded. I feel deeply about the importance of oxygen to human bodies.

Several years ago, Dr Shizuo published a book titled "Oxygen Power Makes Health." Two years ago a book titled "Oxygen Makes Brain Better" was also published. After reading these two books, a lot of people agreed with Dr. Shizuo's theory. Therefore Dr. Shizuo has made a great contribution to the foundation of the modern oxygen efficient aerobic health exercise. He can also be addressed as a guru of aerobic health theory.

Recently, the sudden death of young people has increased. We do feel a sense of loss and regret, but what I really hoped for is that by reading this book one can elevate public awareness on the contents of healthy living and ultimately increase longevity. This will bring meaningful contributions to the country and the society. Furthermore, reading this book can also prevent senility. You will benefit from it a great deal.

Preface
To maintain a healthy body, lead a happy life, and to live long are the wishes and hopes of modern people with a high living standard. However, how can we accomplish these wishes? Unfortunately, there is currently the lack of a definitive good method.
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.

One time I was at a train station platform, I saw an old gentleman fall to the ground. At the time, his face was pale, his breathing was week and interrupted, in other words, he was at the brink of death. Immediately, I performed the oxygen efficient aerobic exercise on him for about twenty to thirty minutes. The result, he breathe out a big breath, and came back to life. His face was red, and it was certain that he came back to life. A moment later, he thanked me profusely with tears in his eyes. I have two experiences with examples like this. In both incidents, they all came back to life in a very short time frame. A detailed description of the benefits of this exercise are listed as follows:

Besides eliminating the problem of breathing difficulty, this is an exercise that can improve the basic characteristics of the following illnesses: heart disease, heart muscles cramp, lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, ulcer, neurosis, arthritis, back ache, aviation disease, neurasthenia, nervousness, anorexia, poor appetite, snoring, allergy and cancer.
The exercise is the best method to make up for the lack of exercise can cure insomnia.
Based on the medical theory, oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can influence both physical and emotional balance.
Oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can ensure normal breathing activities, it is an exercise that uses oxygen efficiently to supplement the internal organ.

I used to promote oxygen efficient aerobic exercise. At the time, the audiences only understood the surface of the theory and not the depths of its contents. Since I have 40 years of experience in medical health study and research, I achieved the understanding of the final result. In other words, I discovered the glorious results of oxygen efficient aerobic exercise.

Based on the difference of living environment thirty some years ago and current living environment, I gained a further understanding of the importance of this exercise. To elaborate on this point, the difference of living environment 30 some years ago and today are as follows:

People living in the modern world enjoy gourmet processed food, lack of exercise and overeat.
Increase in height and density of building structures.
Common use of air conditioning, heating equipment causing the weakening of the skin function.
Pollution of the air, contamination of the water supply, contamination by the agricultural poisons, noise etc. are increasing, which caused the quality of the living environment to worsen.
Increased use of food additives, and use of medicine.
Oxygen efficient aerobic exercise is the most suitable exercise that a modern people can have. I am extremely comforted that I have the opportunity to introduce the contents of oxygen efficient aerobic exercise through the publication of this book. Of course, the objective is to ensure that everyone can enjoy the philosophy of "maintaining good health, longevity, and at the same time, lead a graceful and comfortable life.

Conclusion
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.

During the author's younger years, my health was very poor, therefore, having a healthy body has been a goal throughout my life. In very coincidental opportunity, I met an entrepreneur of western medical health founder Mr. Mitsura Saisyo. Twice, I practiced three-week fast, over ten times I practiced one week fast, and led a vegetarian diet life style for about three years. For the first time in my life, I felt happiness come from the bottom of my heart. I really felt the happiness of life.

(Translated by Chinese & English Translation; the original book in Chinese.)

Therefore for twelve years, I volunteered to be the secretary to Mr. Mitsura from 1948 through 1959. Due to this experience, I continually gained his instructions and knowledge and practiced his health method. The result of this experience changed my life, to me it is a great fortune, but the glory all belongs to Mr. Mitsura.
For thirteen years after 1959, I used the health auditorium Mr. Mitsura left me. I instructed over tens of thousand of people on the health method.

The conclusion I gained is "oxygen can cure diseases, lack of oxygen is the root of all illness".

The originator of Buddhism Sakyamuni, in order to solve four irremediable sufferings of mankind, child birth, aging, disease, and death, led six years of ascetic self mortification, his hardship, could not cure the suffering of the society. He finally gained the understanding of the magic of breathing, and solved all the hardship mentioned. This is documented on the Buddhism doctrine.
The breathing method mentioned here is to get rid of the waste product internally and supplement with the oxygen.

As Sakyamuni indicated, breathing method not only can open your eyes but also open your mind, also, it enables you to observe from four sides and to hear from eight sides, in the mean time, to understand the past and see the future, and let you see through people's intention, therefore, increase the sensitivity physically and emotionally, and possess super power. Based on this we further confirm the importance of understanding oxygen supply.

Oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can be performed at any time, at any place by anyone. And only through oxygen efficient aerobic exercise can one realize the wonderful effect of this exercise. I believe that performing oxygen efficient aerobic exercise on those who are in sick bed will not only improve their health, but also give them a bright future.

Lastly, my sincere appreciation to the elders in this field, and friends who helped to make the publishing of this book possible.
