Sir NoddinOff wrote:I don't know if anybody else watched the OP's linked Youtube video, but I did - all forty seconds of it. It's some guy just rotating his head clockwise then counterclockwise. Next he nods it up and down; this goes on over and over. While this exercise certainly can't do any harm, I fail to see how it's going to be the universal cure for sleep apnea. Maybe I'm missing something?

Read not that long ago that rotating one's neck in either direction is a bad idea... something to do with the brain stem as I remember it.

Up and down is different - down for 10 seconds and then back for 10 seconds is a good idea. Really helps my neck and sometimes my headaches.
If only the folks with sawdust for brains were as sweet and obliging and innocent as The Scarecrow! ~a friend~

OP does say that exorcisms helped cure the apnea....oh sorry, exercises. Me thinks Borat needs more exorcism.

Hello to everybody, just want to hear sceptic how they are going to solve theirs problem ? using CPAP to rest of life and wait what to damage your healht until no way back??? and do some marginal things like ''tightening throath'' come on please, be a man and ask your self what can be a CORE of problem??

Maybe is comand center or BRAINSTEM where is system for whole respiraton (thight throat as well)?? is that logical ?
*what you can you do to lubricate that part of brain wich have some dificulties ?

1.you can increase blod flow to that part of brain very safe by using heating creme, and excercize
2.than if that works for you and you see improvement, go to nerurologist and to look closer that probelem, maybe he sugest medication od even surgery


Im not saying it is universal solution but my personal opinion that is the MAIN solution, please dont give up just think of this can be one of solutions .

anyway you have nothing to loose you can be just smarter(increasing blood flow is principle of nootropics)

Are you serious???? People are coming here to get best suggestions & learn from each other, I'm not sure what your 'game' is, but It's really not funny anymore.

This is not a game! Your playing with the truth for your own sick amusement could result in great harm to someone.
Stop it already! Your pathetic ploy for attention has run its course. Now go away and spread your lies somewhere else.

There seems to be a rash of "Quackery" amongst some posts and topics on here lately.

Just my observation.
Quackery is the promotion[1] of unproven or fraudulent medical practices. Random House Dictionary describes a "quack" as a "fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill" or "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan".[2]

What's the problem with posting this. Did anyone read the linked abstract in pubmed? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21644279 It's a plausible mechanism. Not necessarily correct but plausible.

Published in what seems to be a real, general, medical journal. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term ... n.%22[jour]

By an author who seems to me by my very superficial glance at his/her publication list seems to have what we would call a chiropractic orientation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term ... d=21644279

Am I going to run out and change my treatment based on this - no. But it's certainly interesting.

I love pubmed. It may be the very best thing that the internet ever produced.

Just read it, and yes, it is interesting. I like PubMed too.
