Dr. Falcon... Oh, and the wiki you created is quite flattering. I don't know how one goes about editing the page. I guess I should read the wiki help manual. I think it would be good to link the Gary Taubes lecture video as well as the condensed summary of his book as he inspires those who may ques...

Dr Falcon, I was most interested to read what you wrote above! My father developed a solution for coronary artery disease back in the 1950's (The Rinse Breakfast) and that requires some amount of Omega 6 fat - particularly linoleic acid which is combined with lecithin granules. That's very interest...

Was my sleep doctor not correct when she said that "anyone with OSA has UARS"? Echoing the thanks above GumbyCT, This might be a matter of how the term UARS is being used. As a general concept, 'upper airway resistance' is present in anyone with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, since the "obstructive" part...

Sorry, DreamStalker, I'll take the blame ...

Thanks Falcon1, To heed your advise, I guess surgery is inevitable for my deviated septum. I have read about the surgery and it sounds that it is not has bad as sinus surgery. As far as the Benadryl, I have been on an antibiotic and before that my ENT perscribed XYZAL for my congestion. I do not wa...

I have awful sinus congestion and a severally deviated septum. I have had my cpap machine for 3 weeks. I sleep with my mouth open,which dries out my mouth. I have to find that one perfect position so that I can keep my one side of my nose that I can breath open. Typically I sleep 1 1/2 to 2 hours a...

Muse, you've mentioned "seeded rye bread" and I was wondering if that's a better choice than "100% whole wheat" and why? I hope it is because I love rye bread! I came to this forum(thank the Lord) for help with my husband's OSA but never thought I'd find such support for my own personal health issu...

....I'm not totally sure what a carb is. (Are fruit carbs?) There are lots of great insights and contributions from readers on this post so far regarding weight loss techniques. Here, I'll limit my comments to addressing the topic of 'Carbs.' There is unfortunately a great deal of misinformation an...

....The long story short is that there just might be far more SDB patients without UARS diagnoses who stand to benefit from correcting upper airway resistance problems than UARS patients---considering respective patient population sizes. Thank you for the suggestion, -SWS, and I agree with you. I'l...

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this informal investigation so far. For anyone who's interested, here is a summary of findings of this forum's readers after the first few days of this post. So far, there's a total of six anecdotal reports, which include the report of the spouse of a reader...

Thanks much, Dr Falcon. I'll DEFINITELY give that a try this evening. Why aren't you using CPAP anymore? Don't tell me the famous "Falcon" position has cured you of apnea? I gotta give that a better try than I have in the past. Many thanks! Barbara Undoubtedly because of the UARS techniques in Dr. ...

Hey Doc, I was reading your thread on sleep positions and UARS. I have bad allergies my CT scan from 2000 showed enlarged turbinates, narrowed mucosa and a moderately deviated septum plus I have some nasal collapse. Been recently diagnosed with severe apnea AHI 57. Can Uars caused or contribute to ...

Does anyone have any tips on how to sleep in the Falcon position while wearing a Respironics Optilife nasal pillow setup? I can't seem to last more than 90 minutes in this position. I think a full facemask might be more forgiving lying with my cheek flat on the bed than nasal pillows. Any suggestio...

Comment and then a question. One comment on this was that when I did my own research for probiotics a few years back (when all I thought I had was IBS - and as it turned out, treating the apnea and UARS fixed a good deal of that problem too!) the sheer hucksterism and miniscule confirmable testing ...
