Will a banana scent lower AHI?

It sounds to me like your Doc is coaching you to improve sleep quality and delayed onset. It reminds me of some of the ideas from Sound Sleep, Sound Mind by Dr. Krakow. I think your attitude of monitoring your progress without stressing and without checking numbers every morning is probably exactly ...

I usually don't have much to say when a person has an opinion when they don't know ALL the issues or only present one side of an issue, but can anyone here remember which president or political party put our back against this rock and hard place? Oooo, ooooo. I know, I know. Carter. . . . no wait -...

I don't get all the opposition to socialized medicine. What's so wrong with socialism anyhow? Without socialism, the US wouldn't have police or fire departments, public school systems, or even roads to drive on. Is it a perfect system? Absolutely not. Is any system? To a rational person, this is a ...

[ I saw an interview with him a few years back, while he was filming the medical "documentary" and when asked what motivates him, his response was "what I do sells and makes money. The more controversial I can make it, the more money I will make." Wow, that's a really damning thing for him to say a...

OK, now I will argue point about Obama having the authority to "fire" Wagoner. I have the same problem with this meme that has simply a grain of truth. Wagoner resigned after Obama threatened to withhold bailout funds. I have heard it argued that this amounts to a virtual firing but arguing about wh...

My main point was to illustrate how government intervention in a free market economy can make things worse. I wasn't implying FDR and Obama's policies were equivalent in their substance I was suggesting they are similar in their unprecedented manipulation of market forces (hence the deja vu referen...

Here is a link to an interesting paper that argues that recovery from the "Great Depression" was stifled by the policies of FDR; http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/node/3643. The author's conclusion has an eerie feeling of deja vu. ''The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generatio...

You should check with your insurance to see if you are responsible for a percentage. I have to pay 20% with mine. $400, however, seems like a weird number if the total is $1500. If you are on the hook for a percentage, they are supposed to charge you a percentage of what insurance pays, not what the...

I just got one and really want to wear it over my head so I can manage the hose better. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a journey around the tip of my nose http://pbskids.org/wayback/goldrush/features/horn_map.gif and it kind of smashes it on the way. I will probably stubbornly persist for a while in m...

For my machine, I needed something like this: http://www.dcacpowerinverters.com/customkititems.asp?kc=APS30012-8AWG . I attached it to an Optima marine battery and I could run it for three days if needed. I live in the woods and we have had 3-day outages before so I figured I better be prepared. I d...

Isn't Dick Morris the one who pioneered a new OSA treatment which attempts to keep the airway open by cramming a hooker's toe down his throat?

So how does some cloth tube that covers the hose from the cpap to the mask prevent rain-out? And then there's this idea that we need some vibrant color to match the sheets or paint on the wall. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but once I close my eyes, nobody cares what color anything is. I didn...
