There may have been a bit of truth to those lifeforms, an easy fix, you put gold fish in the tank and they eat all those strange varmits:

Ric,

I related to your post so well, that I think I smelled your socks in California.

Great job!!

yes FOO, your posts have gotten a bit few and far between. EXPLAIN!

So have yours HKS. Please explain yourself, or at least do penance by posting more often.

so how would this work with a machine that has a humidifier built in?!?! i have an s8 autoset vantage with h3i humidifer and from what i have read in this thread is that it goes between the machine and the humidifier?! or did i read it wrong?!?!

That's the old system, it's no longer for sale. The new system just sits at the air intake of the machine. It won't interfere with any part of the machine.

Go to th pur-sleepweb site and it will show you a picture of the set up along with a description of the diffuser. pat

I've been using it for the past month and it works like a charm. For my own personal preference I use more oil in the new diffuser than the old but it works very well.

I'm still using the original diffuser. I will be getting the new diffuser but I am in no big hurry to discontinue using the original. Still enjoy the aroma and improved sleep that I have gotten since using pur-sleep.

Welcome back pur-sleep and good luck.

Best regards,

Fred

Ah yes, but (here comes another acronym) according to the NIH, the lavender may wreak hormonal havoc : 0

Gotta go now and look for the Pur Sleep product. Any smell, even your socks, would be better than the new plastic smell of hoses and mask when fresh out of the package.

It's always interesting how some otherwise highly skeptical people seem to be willing to accept a negative report at face value.

As for essential oils being linked to breast growth in young boys, turns out that the "science" behind the negative report isn't as sound as has been reported:

Here's a more detailed discussion of the specific cases at issue:

Robert Tisserand is one of the leading experts on essential oil safety. The link is to a press release he put out on this subject.

There's a lot of folklore about essential oil benefits (if you believe YoungLiving, they can cure anything) as well as safety.

DANG GIRL, THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ SINCE THE PM I SENT YOU THIS AFTERNOON!

Too funny! Thanks for posting that!

BTW - one of the things I've done is take the new gear, and soak it for a few hours in a basin of hot water and the Dr. Bronner's soap. Nice and sudsy. I go back, rinse it off, let it dry overnight, and it's very bearable to me. And minty fresh!

But your tolerance for outgas and mine might vary greatly. Good luck!!!

Hugs,
B.

Absolutely! And, since people reading the posts can't tell I am rolling my eyes when reading and posting the NIH report - I should have said so. At the very least have added an emoticon It was meant as tongue in cheek.

Thanks so much for the follow-up post!

Glad you saw the humor in the post. I meant it as tongue in cheek and saw the report as circumspect and "too funny" too. I should have said so in the post : 0

Thanks for reminding me about Dr. Bronner castile soap. I forgot about that brand. I also forgot about how it takes more than one bathroom visit to read the messages on the bottle. Good for more than a few laughs too.

I've got the bottle sitting on the sink right next to the toilet. I read a little every time...

LOL,
