Treatment Reverses Brain Changes in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

June 17, 2010 (San Antonio, Texas) — In patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), changes in white matter and gray matter appear to be reversed after treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

"Adherence to treatment not only improves quality of life and decreases cardiovascular risk [but] also [reverses] changes in these areas of the brain," Vincenza Castranova, PhD, a clinical psychologist from the Sleep Disorders Center at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, in Milan, Italy, who presented the research, told Medscape Neurology. "This should motivate even more subjects to undergo therapy."

This has definitely been the case for me. After four years I'm still improving.
My brain and my balance were what I noticed the most difference in after starting my treatment.
It's such a joy to be able to remember again.

CPAP therapy woke me out of the American Dream of infinite debt-based consumption and turned me into a conspiracy theorist.

CPAP therapy woke me out of the American Dream of infinite debt-based consumption and turned me into a conspiracy theorist.

Be careful, that may be catching. There's quite a few conspiracy theories making the rounds at the moment, and I am convinced that at least some of them are probably correct. My recovery with CPAP has yet reached the parts of the brain that distinguish between the true and the false theories. Actually, they should not be a theory until the are proven. Up until that point they are just a hypotheses. I guess that just doesn't sound quite as exciting ...

This last election proves over 52% of the U.S. voting population still has untreated Sleep apnea W/Brain damage. The goal of Obummer care is to increase this number to 100%.

Now now Jim ... we all know the voters have no choice but to vote for bankster appointees. And it doesn't matter who the POTUS is ... brain damage occurs to everyone with untreated OSA regardless of who they vote for or who spies on them or drones them or steals their wealth from them or enslaves them or lies to them or takes their civil liberties from them.
