Exercises can cure Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Sergey, I highly recommend that you save this thread for reading on a day when you are feeling a bit low. It is well worth it, and is almost guaranteed to lift your spirits. However, do not expect it to tell you much that will improve your cpap therapy!

And, now--for the rest of you and Sergey:

Am I the only one who sees a resemblance in the modus operandi of Rich

and Kevin Trudeau?

Oh, right--we don't KNOW for certain that Rich's exercises will work, or will not. Wait...we didn't know that about Kevin Trudeau's "cures" either...did we?

Congratulations--TWINS!

Karen,
Who buys too many books already

I would have gladly paid US $20 just to read this thread. The laughter therapy I got out of it was fabulous. As a matter of fact, I laughed so much, it greatly exercised my jaw, neck and shoulder muscles. Yes, fellow cpapers, I believe I have discovered a laughter cure for OSA. You know the rest -- if you will send me a mere $25...(sorry, the cost of OSA cures has suffered inflation since the start of this thread).

I think this exercise cure would work as well as jumping out a 20th floor window flapping your arms er wings

Yet another exercise guaranteed to stop apnea dead in its tracks...

Birdshell, how dare you release Rich's third exercise module!

You could have at least had the common courtesy to collect money for it before sending it on to mypublicfleecing.com... or whatever the heck that URL was waaaay back on page one.

-SWS, I would never infringe on intellectual property and international copyright laws. It is simply a VISUAL REPRESENTATION of his exercise module.

NOW, this is an idea developed by the friends who give me a little help to get by:

For proper muscular support, please read the entire thread. This should inspire hearty laughter. Hearty laughter requires abdominal muscle involvement and laughing as one thinks about this thread will occur at least 3 times a day for 12 belly laughs (that would be 3 sets of 12 exercises).

Voila! Six pack abs suitable for modeling on spurious weight loss products shown primarily on late, late night infomercials. (NOT those six packs!)

We take a different approach to marketing, probably because we were there during the San Francisco "Summer of Love" in Haight/Ashbury.

We camped right at the edge of Yasgur's pond during Woodstock.

Here it is: If you have enjoyed these exercises and found them to be beneficial, please support our effort and keep the program going. We accept all kinds of in-kind contributions*, which will be used, in part, to fund the commune building which hosts this site on its server.

We are a 503-SEE charity with an account at PayPal should you have any spare change and wish to contribute cash. If you are like many of our supporters and do not wish to be traced by the man (IRS) in any way because of the fascist principles being espoused by our government, cash may be sent to: Why Can't We All Get Along Commune, Somewhere in Colorado not too far from Boulder.

Alternatively, we accept funds and (in)kind contributions at our auxiliary sites:
1. Berkley's School for Balding Ponytail Restoration;
2. Picabo Street's parents;
3. several other underground locations.

Because we believe in sharing everything we have (although our last leader objected to sharing dirty underwear), we invite the "Cure OSA with Exercise" dude to join in our efforts. We will gladly feed him a meal and provide a sleeping bag in one of our communes while he waits for the furor over his exercise program to die down.

We will try to meditate with him on a level where the incense is no longer noticed, and bring him around to our esteemed leader, the Rev. Sun Stars and Moon's, enlightened plane of existence.

We have had a great deal of success selling flowers

and large pixie stix at parking lots across the country, and believe that he could do a fairly comfortable business by hanging out in Sleep Lab parking lots, selling leaflets of his exercises to people heading in for their first PSG.

We do advise that the forums dedicated to OSA be prepared to handle the large numbers of disgruntled OSA patients who will seek help as a rebound from the ineffectiveness of self treatment.

Peace. And hey, man...love.

Love it!!! What a humorous and yet wonderful blast from the past!

That image makes me wonder...

Will having OSA enable us to get an Rx for medical marijuana? I know it won't do anything to improve memory or cognitive function, but it would at least give us a more widely accepted excuse for being dopey and forgetful.

On s serious note, Rich may well have accomplished his goal anyway - get his website linked from a well ranked site rich in keywords. In fact, every post we add probably pushes his Google pagerank up.

So, everyone who posts on the forum could send him an invoice for search engine optimisation I guess...20 bucks should just about cover it.

Per post.

Then there are the consulting fees.I might make up an invoice for him right now!

Well then less link some more keywords ... do you think Rich has a fourth set of exercises for penis enlargment?

We're gonna be rich at $20 per hit!!

Sure...I think he was performing at least one of them when he posted.

I'm sure we could buy loads of generic Viagra, replica Rolex Watches and study-free University Degrees with all that cash! And I guess that will enable us to quit our jobs and play Texas Hold-Em Poker all day.
