Why do most people
snore?
Snoring is a multi-factored problem. Contributing factors include
having a droopy soft palate, a posterior placed tongue, being over weight
for your height, the use of anything that sedates you, and nasal obstruction.
Frequently snoring is a vicious cycle with no single factor to blame.
Furthermore, an increase in any factor can usually aggravate the problem.
Examples include weight gain; alcohol consumption at night causing a
sedative effect; the onset of a head cold or allergies which increase
obstruction to nasal air flow.
What is the best
way to prevent snoring and what is sleep apnea?
The list of contributing factors described above should give you some
idea why there are many different approaches to the treatment of snoring.
Most importantly, a proper weight-to-height ratio will help to eliminate
snoring as well as many other health problems.
Sleep apnea is a
condition which involves repeated airway obstruction while sleeping.
It is characterized by a decrease in blood oxygen levels when monitored
and by episodes of irregular breathing. One's bed partner will note
that the sleep apnea sufferer will seem to stop breathing only to gasp
after what seems like forever. This process of snoring and mini-strangulation
goes on all night. Sleep apnea is a significant medical problem and
medical consultation should be sought to treat it properly.
Although NoseWorks(TM)
could potentially help reduce one aspect of the factors which induce
sleep apnea, it is not a cure or recognized treatment for this
condition. In contrast, simple snoring is a social problem when no apnea
is involved. NoseWorks(TM) has been shown to reduce nasal airway resistance
and increase nasal air flow even in normal subjects. See the Report
on the Effectiveness of NoseWorks(TM).
Frequently by breaking
the cycle of obstruction of the airway, snoring can be reduced and one
can sleep more comfortably (and so does one's bed partner because of
the reduced noise from less snoring). Surgical approaches to such problems
of the nose and palate are also an option, but they tend to be expensive
and can be painful. Such procedures for the treatment of simple snoring
are usually not covered by insurance plans. While in some instances
surgical methods are the only way to solve such problems, even these
are not 100 percent effective.
Why is the NoseWorks(TM)
approach to snoring prevention better?
The NoseWorks(TM) approach to snoring prevention offers a comfortable
and affordable means to reduce snoring. It is a vast improvement over
other available methods: It does not place the jaw in an uncomfortable
position to pull the tongue forward. It does not involve a spring which
stretches the nostrils wide. It does not use adhesives which can irritate
the skin. No foreign substances are sprayed into the mouth. NoseWorks(TM)
is reusable and has a thirty-day money-back guarantee; if you are not
satisfied, just return the products with case to us.
Why does NoseWorks(TM)
benefit people who don't snore?
NoseWorks(TM) benefits those who don't snore but who breathe through
their mouth while asleep. It is impossible to get a good night's restful
sleep when breathing through the mouth. The mouth and throat become
dry and the sleep cycle gets interrupted. Unfortunately many people
who are mouth breathers don't know what they are missing as they have
no basis for comparison. In addition, during exercise such as yoga or
running on a treadmill, NoseWorks(TM) helps deliver warm, moist air
in to the lungs by reducing nasal airway resistance and thereby increasing
nasal air flow.
What are satisfied
customers saying about NoseWorks(TM)?
Please
look at these comments.
Can anyone use
the NoseWorks(TM) device successfully?
A study conducted
by Dr. Shawn Nasseri, while on staff at the Mayo Clinic, which was presented
to the American Rhinologic Society (Fall 1999) shows that NoseWorks(TM)
decreases nasal airway resistance and increases nasal air flow even
in normal subjects. See the Report on the Effectiveness
of NoseWorks(TM).
In what instances
is the NoseWorks(TM) device contraindicated?
NoseWorks(TM) should
not be used by children. It is not a cure for sleep apnea, a potentially
dangerous medical condition. NoseWorks(TM) should never be forced into
the nose; it should be removed and its use discontinued if any irritation
or feeling of discomfort develops.
Is the NoseWorks(TM)
device hygienic?
The NoseWorks(TM)
device is intended to be used by a single user only. It is not meant
to be shared. It can and should be washed regularly (at least once a
week or more frequently if desired). Simple hand soap and careful rinsing
is all that is needed. The NoseWorks(TM) device should last for years
with proper care.
Has the NoseWorks(TM)
device been tested by a recognized medical body?
Dr. Shawn Nasseri
tested the NoseWorks(TM) device while on staff at the Mayo Clinic. You
can read his findings in a Report on the Effectiveness of NoseWorks(TM)
presented to the American Rhinologic Society 1999 meeting in New Orleans,
Louisiana. NoseWorks(TM) increases nasal air flow by decreasing nasal
air resistance. NoseWorks(TM) accomplished this by preventing the collapse
of the nasal valve (sides of the nose) upon inspiration.
How much does
the NoseWorks(TM) device cost? What is included in the complete NoseWorks(TM)
package?
The complete package
consists of two NoseWorks(TM) devices in a custom-designed carrying
case -- all for $29.95 (plus FREE Shipping & Handling).
Will medical
insurance cover the cost of the NoseWorks(TM) device?
No. Insurance companies
consider snoring a social problem.
How long can
the NoseWorks(TM) device be used before replacement is necessary?
The NoseWorks(TM)
device can be used indefinitely; a spare is provided as part of the
package in case you lose one.
