CHI Palm Archives

I attribute my avoiding surgery to the CHI Palm…

On July 1, 2023, my sweet and strong pup (80 pounds, a beautiful Golden Retriever), Kody, suddenly decided to take me along on a squirrel hunt. His leash was hanging on my right wrist as we were returning to the car from a hike in our favorite land preserve. I was suddenly jerked out of my daydreaming and yanked back to my right, landing in the brush after a very painful arm pull before the leash released from my wrist. I was in shock as I noticed that my arm was kind of hanging loosely from my shoulder. Somehow, I got Kody in the car after his chase and was able to drive home, about 5 minutes away. My husband and I quickly got in his car and he drove me to the closest ER room, about 30 minutes away. After a couple of x-rays it was determined that I had not only dislocated my right shoulder but had also fractured the top of my humerus. Yikes! The on-call doctor was able to put everything back in place, gave me a sling, and told me me to see her PA on July 3. With it being a holiday weekend, I couldn’t even schedule an appointment.

As soon as we got home, I immediately recharged my CHI Palm device (Infratonic 11) and applied it to my right shoulder. I put it on the highest “acute” frequency and kept it going near the site of the fracture/dislocation almost all the time. I also rubbed it up and down my right arm and left it touCHIng the site while I slept. As you can imagine, sleeping was difficult so for a while I put the CHI Palm on the “sleep” function, still on high. After the second night I stopped sleeping with the sling. I was married to the CHI Palm until I saw the PA. He said that whether I would need surgery or not was a “gray area”, hard to tell. I was told that the MD would decide my fate a week later, on July 10. That gave me a whole week to use the CHI Palm on my arm and shoulder as much as I could, on high “acute”. That was at least 12-15 hours a day. In the meantime, I saw my physical therapist (Crossroads in Columbia, CT), who was also committed to helping me avoid surgery. He had heard of the CHI Palm so he was very supportive. What’s more, he had had the very same injury 10 years ago, so he knew exactly what I needed from his toolbox. During that week I experienced very little pain. Other than a few Tylenols and Advil, I did not take the Percocet that was prescribed. However, as I began to detoxify from the fentanyl and propofol the ER doc gave me, I had a couple of serious migraines in my crown chakra. Thank goodness for the CHI palm on top of my head! Each time I was able to get to sleep and woke up with no headache.

When I saw Dr. Bloom 10 days after the accident, he took more x-rays and confirmed that I would not need surgery. I attribute my avoiding surgery to the CHI Palm. What’s more, I could feel the bone healing more and more each day.

What’s more, I could feel the bone healing more and more each day. Two weeks after the accident, I began taking the sling off when at home; at the 3-week point I no longer needed the sling.) Normally, it is recommended to wear the sling for 4 weeks.) I continued to use the device whenever I could during my waking hours and throughout the night as I slept. As well as my open-minded and unique physical therapist, I asked Laura Graye of Medigraytions to create a unique daily meditation to encourage a deeper somatic visualization and healing with the CHI Palm still at the core of my process.

It’s been 4 weeks now since the accident, and I am using the CHI Palm when I sleep as well as a few hours during the day. Sometimes I change the frequency to a lower vibration. I also like using “balance” more often. I continue to use “sleep” when I need it, placing the CHI Palm on my heart. I’ve also added the CHI Sun – amazing! And I ordered the glove and strap for the CHI Palm which makes this healing process even easier. My physical therapist is quite impressed with how quickly I am progressing. I can’t wait to hear what the MD will say after looking at new x-rays on August 3 and seeing how much range-of-motion I have acquired. I am so grateful that I already had the CHI Palm and thought to use it immediately after the injury. Not only have I avoided surgery but also am moving quickly through the physical therapy protocol. I estimate that I have saved at least $20,000 – $30,000 in medical expenses with the help of the CHI Palm.

I acquired my first Infratonic 9 probably 10 years ago when my friend and colleague Deb Crane introduced it to me. I remember being so impressed with how much the device enhanced her work with horses. Having personally benefitted, I upgraded to the Infratonic 11 a couple of years ago. It’s a tool I have used from time to time whenever I remember it – like when I fractured my wrist 5 years ago or when my dog went limp in one leg (after applying it for a few hours, he was fine the next day). I feel intuitively I have an inner voice that guides me to use it when necessary. My husband even used it when dealing with Meniere’s a few years ago. But this most recent experience has convinced me that using my CHI Palm should be as regular as brushing my teeth. I am profoundly grateful. I’ll be sure to keep you updated about my recovery from my fractured/dislocated shoulder. I’m living in a miracle! (The CHI Sun has also become a regular activity.)

I first became acquainted with the Sound Vitality company over twenty years ago. My mother bought the equine unit for our horses. Approximately twelve years ago, I tore a muscle in my shoulder. It was very painful and I couldn’t lift it or move it away from my body. I was told after an MRI that I would need surgery. My mother brought me her machine and within two days, I could lift my arm out and away from my body and above my head. I got a cortisone shot and avoided surgery. Needless to say, I bought one and will never be without it. My mother and I recently purchased two of the newer model, the Infratonic 9. My dad uses it for restless leg syndrome. I am using it on a dog with an enlarged heart to move fluid and also on a hurt horse to repair damage from a severe cut. Needless to say, I know it works and anyone who tries it will never be without one, especially if you have chronic pain and you find relief. With a thirty-day guarantee, I cannot believe anyone wouldn’t try it. It REALLY works.

A client came to me after he had back surgery and found he always had back pain and tightness. He was unable to do athletics or activities he had done in the past. I massaged him and used the CHI machine, starting at the coccyx and up the spine; treated about 20 minutes. He was able to return to athletics (softball) and is pain-free. He’s been my patient 2 years and was impressed. He started feeling relief right away.

I would say the products are helping me because, well, in my profession, strongman, daily body beatdowns basically, I create a lot of inflammation, a lot of soreness, a lot of damage to the tissue, which is part of the process of rebuilding and making you stronger. I’ve used the Infratonic and the VitalRest mostly to promote blood flow, relief from soreness. I feel it increases my recovery ability, the speed at which my cells heal so that from one workout to the next, I’m recovered, refreshed, and can put in a full force effort to get the most out of that next workout.

The Infratonic is very effective on low back pain, even severe low back pain. One post-back surgery patient couldn’t have a second surgery and used the Infratonic as a “last alternative.” His need for further surgery disappeared. Also, the Infratonic is used to treat tendonitis, bursitis, and sinusitis. Actually, I wouldn’t hesitate using it on anything. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the finest device on the market today. It saves money for patients and shortens the number of patient visits.

I have used these products for many years, both on myself and in my Healing Arts practice on clients. The CHI Palm brings so many benefits on every level – Physical, emotional and spiritual – are all improved and transformed. Having these products is like having a first aid for injury, stress and anxiety as well as recovery from long term health imbalances. I feel that it maintains a high quality of life.

I have also used the Palm and the Infratonic 9 for our 14-year-old chihuahua when she stopped eating and her health began to fail. She lost all energy and dropped a lot of weight. I set up the Infratonic 9 on a positioning stand focused on her crate and kept it on 24/7. After a week and a half, she started eating a bit of food and was soon after improving immensely. My chihuahua gravitates towards the i9 and I share my CHI products with her. The i9 gave her the energy she was not able to produce for herself at the time. She recovered nicely and is back to her old perky self. Thank you again for having these great products.

I love the CHI Palm! I use it on myself at home every night – sometimes all night while sleeping – sometimes just when sitting in my chair reading. I also share it with my very elderly dog hoping it brings her some comfort. I find it much more user friendly than the older units. So nice it has a low profile and is not as heavy – or at least the weight seems to be better distributed.

I’m noticing subtle shifts in myself. The CHI Palm seems to be lifting out some very old, very deep patterns. For example growing up, I spent alot of time with my Maternal Grandmother who saved everything based on her growing up in the Depression. Fast forward to now and there is me at 57 years old who has held onto a lot of stuff in my life because of this ingrained fear that ” I might need that some day”. But I’ve noticed in the last few weeks that I have been spontaneouly inspired to go through, organize and clean out and some of these collections of “stuff” without having made a concious decision to do so.
One example is that I had saved so many glass jars and bottles in my basement that they filled 5 boxes which I recently was inspired to go through – I ended up keeping only 1 box of jars that were cool, interesting or that I wanted to repurpose and easily put the rest into recycling. That was a big deal!

Yesterday, I cleaned out 2 bedroom closets and 4 bins of old clothes that I had been holding on to…. for years. I donated a huge box of clothes to Goodwill and also filled a large contractor bag with things not suitable to share to throw away. Also a big deal!

The CHI Palm signals were able to go very deep and release old fear based programming which helped me to be able to see the “truth” of the situation instead of clinging to the fears. For example that 5 boxes of jars was way more than I would ever need – plus they took up alot of space I could use for other things. Or that half the clothes I was storing were not going to ever get used by me because they either didnt fit anymore, were out of style or were stained.

It’s a great feeling to be able to effortlessly move forward – very good for my self esteem. I knew I was holding myself back but I couldnt break through the fears.

I also take the CHI Palm to my Massage/ CranioSacral therapy office everyday – (carefully ensconced in it’s cute box )- why I didn’t use it the first time…. I think I just viewed the box as packaging rather than for daily use. I try to use it on almost every client – whether it’s for discomfort in muscles or joints, emotional support or just deepened relaxation.

Again, I love the new design, it doesn’t slide off nearly as easily when placed on a client. I used to have to do all kinds of towel propping to keep the old ones in place.

BTW, I still run my Infratonic 8000 in my massage room all day set on Cont/Sleep – it has always been kind of a secret weapon for enhanced relaxation. Especially for those people who come in like solid rocks. My very first machine was the Infratonic 4 – That was many moons ago!
It’s so interesting that in all my years of using the various versions of the Infratonics that the CHI Palm is the one that has pulled out some of my deepest and most persistent patterns. Very exciting! I’m really looking forward to where all these positive changes will lead me. I feel like my world is suddenly opening up in a whole new way.

A big thank you to the CHI Team for your passion and commitment to create positive technology to help improve the life of all humanity! I am very grateful to have experienced positive results in myself and I share the Chi Palm everyday with my clients and friends so that hopefully they too can feel a little bit better – in body, mind and spirit.

This device has had lots of hard & beneficial use, lots of all night sessions.

Our family is continually astounded with the value, health-wise, which is packed into this small device. As we age, currently in our eighties, more and more we find ourselves sleeping with them applied to locations of chronic discomfort. We are getting cures that conventional medicine cannot explain. For instance acid reflux caused by a leaking LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter) was corrected to complete normalcy in one session. That, of course, is truly fantastic.

We have given one [Infratonic 9] to our friends who have a son with Downs Syndrome. He suffers from a very bad cough and has been diagnosed with RSV in the past. His parents use the unit on his chest and back and then place it on the floor or between the mattress and box in his bed and aim it up at him. Within 24-36 hours he has made a complete turn around! They have used it for this the last two winters with great success!

I’m absolutely loving the Infratonic!!! There has not been a day without using it since it has arrived. This is my story: I have suffered from an illness that lasted for 15 years. I had to take very strong medication for it and as a result, my bones became brittle (this I didn’t know at the time). I have been on a journey to bring myself back to health for the past 10 years. On that journey, my L5 had split without me knowing. Also, I have experienced a lot of nerve pain around that area. According to the orthopedic surgeon, the split healed without the bone sticking to each other and would be this way for the rest of my life. I’m secretly hoping that the vibration will teach my body to oscillate at the same frequency and stick the bone back together, even if it’s a little bit .

I have used the infrasonic 8 to support heal the bone and anything else around it. Now, I use the Infratonic 9 to continue on my journey to health. These days, I have very little to no “bone” pain (usually I have pain when there is a fluctuation in temperature). I attribute this to the changes I have made in my diet and the infrasonic 8 and now the Infratonic 9! I use the machine for every little thing I have, even when I have a soar throat. It works wonders for me. My body relaxes so much that it is also providing my body to have that extra time to rest and recover. I’m really grateful to whomever made this machine and the CHI institute for providing it.
