Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2. Initially it has a free hydrogen radical, acting like an acid - then it further breaks down to 2(H2O2) -> 2(H2O) + O2. It is this property of Hydrogen Peroxide (breaking down into good old oxygen plus good old water) that makes most people view it as "clean" and "safe". Yo...

As long as people can post from handles and their e-mail addresses are not exposed, I don't see guest posting is that important. It is your forum and it is well run. I'm glad that you have done something to stop spamming, I have to admit that the spam started bothering me enough that I stopped readi...

I really like the Mirage Swift, despite my dislike of ResMed's attempts to protect the Canadian retailer. I use a clip that attaches to the hose with a velcro wrap and then attaches to my shirt which I wear at night, although I then run it up to a IV stand - so that it does not tangle - some people ...

...you will get whatever results you need to prove that you need whatever the doctor thinks you need - despite what is actually done to you. If the doctor thinks you need O2, you will get a result that says that. Unless the study disproves that - and it does not sound like it did. Those little minor...

...I noted that my wife, Ferk, was occasionally snoring and doing the choking and not breathing thing - and then resuming normal breathing. I asked her to talk it over with her doctor - of course, no one told her that she probably had sleep apnea (as I did - and have been compliantly using my CPAP f...

Did you tell your doctor that despite his inability to diagnose the problem that you are still quite concerned about it? There are many things that you just don't diagnose. You eliminate the bad things that can kill you and then you just sort of ignore it. It sounds like the doctor did some of this ...

The typical dental device works by repositioning the lower jaw. That sort of device can cause all sorts of problems if used for more than six months - it can cause permanent changes in the jaw joint, with the headaches and all that, and bite changes and many other things. I'm actually more intereste...

I can't imagine a mechanism by which constant pressure could cause hyperventilation. If you could explain how you thought the CPAP (oonstant) machine could cause hyperventilation, it might be possible to comment. Breathing is work. Most people believe that breathing with a CPAP is more work - it is ...

I can't speak to feeling of suffocating....but learning to keep my mouth shut was exactly what happened to me - no humidifier back in the dark ages, and learned to shut my mouth based on the noise nad dry mouth - it is unpleasant, you know? Conditions you against it. Sems perfectly reasonable to me,...

At some point, you have to consider the possibility of going back to the sleep doctor and saying, "When I got this, I felt like this and that and the other thing." "Now I feel almost the same way, except for A and B." I have been x% compliant. My compliance has taken this pattern. "It has been 1- 2-...

Only Respironics allows you to mix their C-flex feature (exhalation relief) with their auto-pressure setting feature. If you want or need both, you have Hobson's choice at this point. Supposedly the new Respironics M series will be out soon - this is the rumor I've heard. The current M series will n...

This idiot has been posting crap in a bunch of the topics here. He is probably just trying to stir up crap, or troll, or whatever.

....but as I've pointed out here before, the most water that your air can hold is just a couple percent, and it will displace O2 and N2 in the proportions that they exist in the air - 4 parts of N2 to every part of O2. Unless you are on the bleeding edge of getting enough oxygen, I doubt it will mat...

Welcome to the club no one wants to be a member of. Good luck with your graphing.

Seems simple to me. The manufacturers create a standard of care that everyone must adhere to. Do they want to require follow-ups? Fittings? Instruction time? Machine swaps in case of failure? Talking the end user through setup - or providing someone to go to the home to do the setup? Whatever it is,...
