Bone Fractures
"Problem: A patient of mine got in the middle of a dog
fight trying to separate the dogs. She ended up with a fracture
of her fifth metatarpal and a crushed wrist + multiple dog bites
that had to be sutured. I saw her the day after this happened.
Treatment: I have a CHI Infratonic 4.2, on 7/30/03 I did a
general body sweep for about 10 minutes to address her state
of shock, then while I did some gentle bodywork (Bowen Technique),
I placed the CHI machine over her cast over her fifth metacarpal
for 20 minutes and over her wrist for 20 minutes. On 8/5/03
and 8/19/03: the same protocol without sweeping. 25 minutes
over foot fracture and 25 minutes over wrist. 9/2/03: got X
Ray of foot. Orthopedist removed cast and commented how well
and fast her fracture did mend, that women in her age group
usually do not heal so fast. 9/3/04: walking without cast was
hard, difficulty to roll foot and walk without a limp. Repeated
same protocol.
Quality of Life Improvements: 7/30/03: she could feel right
away a sense of relaxation, re-centering and grounding from
the sweep. Walking was easier with walking cast, less limping
and overall pain was reduced at foot and wrist. 8/5/03 and 8/19/03:
was able to put more weight on foot each time. Wrist a bit slower
to respond but overall less pain and more mobility. 9/3/03:
could walk basically without a limp putting all weight on foot.
It just took a month for this fracture to heel and has experienced
no residual disconfort since."

"I have had Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis for 38 years.
In 1989 I broke my right ankle. I broke both bones going into
the joint. The skin ripped open and end of the bones were exposed.
I was very lucky to still have my foot. About 5 years later
my disease had destroyed the cartilage in the ankle. I was having
a great deal of pain trying to walk. Wearing an ankle brace
& greatly cutting down on the amount of time I spent on
my feet helped me to get through it. About 1998, I was started
on the drug Enbrel. Enbrel costs about $1000 a month before
insurance. This new drug was a great improvement for me. I could
almost walk as much as I wanted. But after 6 months I had to
stop the Enbrel due to complications. My ankle started to hurt
again.
A friend told me about the CHI Machine and I decided to try
it since it had a 30-day guarantee. I started out with sweeping
then setting it on high on my ankle for 45 minutes on each side.
Honestly, I did not notice any improvements by 30 days. But
I decided to keep trying as my friend had had so many good results
with it. So, I started leaving it on for several hours. After
about 6 weeks I started noticing I could spend more time on
my feet. After a few months I was about as good as when on the
Enbrel. Twice in the last couple of years my transducer has
broken. While it was sent away for repair my ankle has started
hurting again both times."

"A three year study on Geriatrics & hip fractures.
Some patients on actual site about 1” away and others
2’ to 3’ away, directed at site of surgery. 10-20
mins. once a day for 1-2 weeks. Setting on High. Doctors were
amazed after x-rays taken, healed so much faster than usual;
could weight bear sooner and pain decreased which in some cases
took no pain meds. Decreased limping, sleeping all night and
less pain. Quick recovery surprised doctors, good attitudes.
Did not let doctors know, was for my own information, because
I was so excited of what it has done for my husband and me.
I have my license as a Physical Therapist."

"About 6 weeks ago, I stepped off a horse trailer, landed
wrong and broke my right lower leg about mid-way down. I had
a rod put in the lower leg. I had a splint for about 2 weeks
initially, and then no cast. With the Infratonic 4, I have done
3-4 treatments/day on medium setting. Using points on the bottom
of my foot, as well as at the break point for about 10-20 min
each. Afterwards I have done a sweep of my leg. I have not had
to use pain medications at all throughout my 6 week recovery
period. My x-rays at 6 weeks show some advanced bone healing.
I am able to walk with a cane and much of the time without any
props at all."

"June 3, 2000 - I fell backward & landed on a rock
wall, breaking 2 ribs lower right side - 8th & 9th ribs.
Because I couldn’t use any anti-inflammatories because
of stomach problems the swelling was making the pain worse.
I put the Infratonic on the rib area for 1 hour and the swelling
went down so much the first time. I used it every day for a
week. Because the inflammation went down so much I was able
to zip up my pants and move easier. I not only had reduced pain
but I was back to work doing massage within 3 weeks. The ribs
healed perfectly and I have no residual pain from the accident."
Linda Johnson, Colorado Springs, CO
"Fractured 7th rib in front on left side / torn muscle
tissues in back and under left rib cage / unable to lift left
arm because of pain in back area and under arm. Used Body setting
first over injuries (Mind) (Spirit). Treated four times a day,
within three day results. Did many different techniques of sweeping;
held on and away from pain areas. Was able to lay and sleep
within 2 days in reasonable comfort. Was told it would take
2 weeks before resuming work. Was back to work within 7 days.
Miracles do happen with the Infratonic 8. I use one for myself
& my clients in my office daily."
Hannah Simmons, Honesdale, PA
"Disabled Veteran. Injury to left knee (9 surgeries),
lower back (3 surgeries), cervical neck (4 surgeries) and bone
deterioration. Skin problem from surgeries, grafts to lower
back adhesions (Mind) 2 hours per day holding in contact at
place of pain. Lately, just 1 hour, a few inches above pain.
Bones are no longer soft, able to withstand surgery and no danger
of breaking. Pain in neck 90% relief. Back about 95% relief.
Still need pain meds with strenuous activity."
Rev.Bob Gilley, Tyler TX

"I am a runner and frequently sustain local aches and
pains from training for marathons. The QGM helps me get through
those days. This particular time I broke the fourth metatarsal
bone in my foot. Experiencing some level of pain but continued
to run on it for about 6 more miles until the pain was so intense
that I stopped running and called a cab to take me back to my
car. I treated my painful area with the QGM (Mind) twice every
day placing the unit directly on top of my foot over the pain
for one hour twice a day. It would relieve most of the pain
so that I could still go to work each day (I am a Personal Trainer
and I am on my feet all day long).
At this point I still didn’t know that my foot was broken,
and I would work out on the low impact cardio equipment at the
gym which would increase the pain some, but I could treat it
again when I got home with the QGM and the pain would be less.
After a few weeks I started to feel much better and I decided
to jump rope while at the gym and it began hurting much worse
again. I finally went in and had an x-ray taken of my foot a
month after the injury and I then found out that it was broken.
I stopped all high impact exercises and continued the treatments
twice daily with the QGM. Thanks to my QGM I was able to continue
working every day without pain medication and I have just run
my first marathon since the incident."

"I was standing on a wooden bench, leaning over to reach
something. The bench tipped over, and I fell, with the edge
of the bench knocking hard into my right shin (tibia). The pain
was excruciating, and it was some time before I was even able
to get up off of the floor. I was unable to put any weight on
my right leg - it turned out that I had a hairline fracture
from the blow - so with the help of a friend, I hopped back
to my room where I immediately reached for my CHI machine (chaos
model). By this time my entire lower leg - from ankle to knee
- was swollen, bright red and quickly turning purple.
What happened next is truly remarkable. As I ran the transducer
(Mind) up and down my leg - focusing it every now and then on
the actual area of injury - the swelling started to subside
and the purple color began to fade. I felt like I was a character
on Star Trek, with the doctor using her medical tricorder...you
know, where the serious injury heals right before your eyes!
Once the generalized swelling subsided, I focused entirely on
the injury site, which was throbbing with pain and quite tender.
I used the CHI machine all that evening, and almost non-stop
the next day, which luckily was a Saturday. By that evening
I was able to start to put a slight bit of weight on my leg.
By Sunday evening, after another day using the machine, I was
able to begin to walk a bit, although of course with some difficulty.
The swelling over the fracture site was greatly reduced, as
was the pain and tenderness.
I continued to use the CHI machine as often as possible throughout
the next number of weeks, with continuing great improvement.
I mostly targeted the injury site, but also followed along any
tightness I felt in the muscles throughout my leg, as I knew
this tensing was a reaction to the injury. I would also on occasion
use the transducer on the bottom of my right foot, aiming up
the bone. By the following weekend I was able to walk with only
a slight limp, with the pain quite reduced, and localized to
precisely the area of the hairline crack (I am a body therapist
and could actually palpate the fracture). Within a couple of
weeks my leg felt almost completely healed, with just some residual
soreness around the injury site. This diminished with continued
use of the CHI machine...I could actually feel the bone heal
from the inside out, the actual bone “bruise” being
the last to go."

"On October 10, 1996 I was climbing up to my attic on
the pull-down staircase and lost my balance. My left leg got
caught between two rungs and as a result ended up with a major
Tibia Plateau Fracture. I was rushed to a local hospital’s
ER. There was no orthopedic doctor on duty and thus I was examined,
sent home with a wrap around cast until I could see an orthopedic
surgeon. I declined surgery and in place of the wrap around
cast, I was fitted with a fiberglass cast, which I wore for
about 9 weeks.
After it was removed, I had weeks and months of physical therapy
and weight training, while learning to go from wheelchair adjustment
to arm crutches and actually had to re-learn how to walk again.
It was a long and grueling experience. It was approximately
3 years before I could walk again with some normalcy and even
by this time, I had frequent problems with compression and swelling.
During this period, something amazing occurred, as I received
a flyer from your company in San Clemente, CA with the description
of the benefits of the Chi Machine. I immediately knew that
this was the miracle waiting for me! I purchased the machine
right away.
After receiving the Chi machine, I used it daily for about
an hour at least 2 to 3 times a day. I would set it directly
on my knee and around the surrounding muscle tissue. I did not
have the normal flexion and extension of the knee joint, which
was noticeably displaced as a result of the accident. Over the
weeks of using the Chi machine, I began to see wonderful results.
There was less pain/compression and I was walking with much
more ease and normal gait. My leg became stronger and I found
that I could finally resume the tasks that I had done before
the injury. I am a Polarity Therapy Practitioner, and after
all these years I am able to stand with ease, while working
on a client. That is a gift in itself!! I walk well and have
very few limitations now. To this day, I still use my Chi machine.
I have no doubt that this miraculous machine played a major
role in my blessed recovery of body, mind and spirit!!"
Janet Van Sise, S.Yarmouth, MA
"Multiple fractures of wrist. Pins inserted; quite painful.
20 minute treatments daily for one week, then 3 times a week
for 2 more weeks. 3 weeks after the fractures occurred, orthopedic
surgeon couldn’t believe how much the bones had healed.
Quite significant pain reduction during healing."
