Wow, I´m amazed I´m not the only Shukokai practitioner here! 
It´s funny, I was on a camp this weekend and the "camp-kata" was actually Seisan. I don´t know it very well, just like 75 %. I´ll practise it a bit more.

I *think* its related to the isometric breathing that is emphasized in that kata. I remember watching it as a beginner and thinking "what's the big deal?!" its a relatively short kata and the moves are simple --- but until you understand how you are supposed to stabilize youself and do the moves you are just doing patterns.
My instructor told us that when we do Sanchin correctly we will be just as tired if not more tired than doing all the other I-Ryu katas combined!
I also remember hearing that the proper way to do this kata is with only 4 breaths...limiting the air you let out with each move.
I don't know about totally being bad for your health, but if you don't know how to breathe properly or try the 4 breaths thing before you are ready you may get dizzy and pass out  That'll be bad for your health!
