Okay thanks for the great replies. I only intended on asking this because I was curious because I considered taking it with my ASV machine, not to replace it but to use it with it. Some users here talked about OSA, this is not the case for me, my concern was if it helps CSA. The reason I ask of this is because I came upon a review where the customer reported to have seen big improvements as a CSA patient

Chunkyfrog,

I have alot of respect for you so it pains me to disagree with this post but I have to do it. The OP expressed curiosity about a product and said nothing about going off of his machine. So I am perplexed that you would equate that to death.

Give this person credit for asking our opinion instead of impulsively buying product that may be a waste of money.

To the OP, I hate to admit it but when I was desperate at my inability to stay asleep on the machine, I looked at this product also even though I knew better in many ways. As a result, I asked someone I knew who was an expert in homeopathy. She felt this product was way too expensive and told me I could buy the ingredients at alot cheaper price. Because it seemed like too much of a pain in the neck and would take me on a path in which I would be practicing dial winging without knowing what I was doing, I decided against buying anything.

I hope things improve for you dog and headache wise.

I doubt if you have respect for anyone, Snake Oil is Snake Oil. I'll wait until the infomercial comes out, if it's on T.V. it's got to be legit Jim

That reminds me of my mom, she buys anything that on tv. Or anything on tv is valid and good to her. When I tell her not to drink caffeine, "bu.. but the news says it good for you" Or if she sees a product on tv, and then at a store or catalog, "It was on TV" It bothers me so much lol. By the way, those are not actual quotes but similar to it

The power of the placebo has been documented. It probably won't HURT you. And you might be suggestible to the placebo effect, just like that reviewer.

If that's the case, can't hurt to try one box!

For forty bucks a box?
I could buy some really good tequila, and for me that's more than a year's worth of really awesome margaritas!

Well, yeah, I can't argue with that! But if the OP really wants to throw down some money on something on the off-chance that it might have a salutory placebo effect on him/her, I'm not gonna stand in his/her way!

LOL,
B

...these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease.

When you hear this what it really means is that this stuff doesn't work.

Warning; placebos are not always totally inert.
Sometimes they contain substances which have the effect of making one "feel' better,
hopefully, but not always, without causing harm.
Some placebos used in drug tests may actually exacerbate the symptoms the intended drug is expected to help.
--this has actually been done to skew the results in favor of the drug being tested.
