My fiancee's family has just started using this machine called CHI. It's supposed to oxegenate your blood and align your spine, while removing toxins from your system. It's a machine that wiggles your ankles back and forth (hard to explain) and you're supposed to drink lots of water before and after you use it, to get the toxins out of your system.My fiancee told me it gave him diarrhea but it was because CHI cleaned out the toxins in him. He said he felt better afterwards (other than the diarrhea) and wants me to try it. I'm a little sceptical and I definitely don't want diarrhea. I'm IBS-C so that could loosen me up but I still don't want diarrhea as a result!I don't know what to think because him and his family swear by this machine and I think it could be good for you but I'm skeptical and scared. Anyone else tried this? It's supposed to help with IBS.My fiancee is a little mad at me for not trying his "miracle machine" but I usually don't buy into cure-alls that claim to cure EVERYTHING, like this does.Thanx,Amy
CHI - Anybody heard of it?

·Sounds like something that winds up in a garage sale the next year after you bought it. What's wrong with a plain old simple back rub?------------------Jim
Hi Amy:You might want to pass this Health Fraud article on to your fiance: http://www.ibsgroup.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/014464.html There are a lot of things out on the market to take your money, and this sounds like one of them. If I get a chance after work today I'll see if I can find something on the internet about it. JeanG
