Bold Study concerning Chin Strap.

Post by moucy » Thu Sep 03, 2009 9:26 am

I just happen to stumble upon this advertisement. Which by the way I don't beleive.
You can see it in its entirety at this address: https://mysnoringsolution.com/?aid=RMD&sub-id=000#form
I just copy/ pasted the following for your info. Look at the drop in the apnea numbers?? If it were this easy why would we all be here? And pay special attention to the last line!!

Clinical Trial Test Results For The My Snoring Solution Brand Jaw Supporter
Overview
The initial small scale sleep study consisted of ten patients who were tested and diagnosed with OSA. See "TABLE 1 - Baseline Study" [below.]
Approximately 2 years later the same ten patients participated in an additional sleep study. See "TABLE 2" [below.] During the second study the participants slept through the night using the mysnoringsolutions.com Jaw Supporter. The study information is posted specifically for the purpose of comparing the number of snores and OSA episodes of the participants during the two studies. Some patients experienced:
• A substantial reduction in the number of OSA episodes
• A substantial reduction in the number of snores
• Lower blood pressure readings in the morning
Most experienced: An increase in their oxygen saturation level.

"Most experienced: An increase in their oxygen saturation level."
above copied from the report....

Huh? How much do they consider an increase I wonder?? Not once did anyone get over 90% and most were well below 90%. But people fall for this snake oil all the time because they want to avoid the mask and machine.
Is this the same company that charges close to a $30 return fee for hazardous material that they take out of your refund which takes 6 months to get??

We've poo-pooed this thing before. Do a search on it and you'll see.

Besides, who wants to wear little boys underpants on their head?
