Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by mrscmmckim: Cures or symptom controls for sleep apnea other than C-PAP and Uvula Reduction?
I am aware of the C-PAP and the operation for uvula reduction but are there any others out there? I Googled it and really came up with only these two or variations thereof.
I am working on loosing 40 pounds right now. I had a rather severe injury that laid me up and I gained weight but am on the down swing, thanks all, this helped!

Question by well since you asked.: Cures for Sleep Apnea?
A friend of mine has suffered for years with sleep apnea. He has followed all the medical advice for solving the problem.
From loosing weight to using c-pap etc.

Are there any other ideas anyone has that has worked for them that I can pass on to him.
???

Please help!
My friend is down to under 150 lbs. So there is no obesity issue for him.

Also he is very current on doctor visits due to other health related issues. Therefore, further doctor visits will not help.

He is/was just wanting to hear about other methods that helped others in his situation with sleep apnea.

I also have suffered with sleep apnea to the point that I had some heart issues from it. I also tried the c-pap after a VERY expensive sleep study. What finally resolved the issue for me was the idea that it must have something to do with inflammation. I started using Curcumin Extreme, Serrapeptase Enzyme, and 6 electrically balanced digestive enzymes 5 times a day. The enzymes allowed my food to be digested properly and eventually helped resolve inflammation caused by undigested spicules in the blood that can be part of an inflammation issue. The Curcumin Extreme is the curcuminoids from the turmeric root that reduce inflammation and help auto immune disease. I also used a high quality Omega 3 Fatty Acid fish oil that is highy anti-inflammatory as well.

Not sure if it was one or the combination of all, but my apnea is not longer an issue.

Question by bboy244: What are the possible side effects of a cpap machine? Does anyone know any natural cures for sleep Apnea/?

Answer by rider3171
The only issues I know of with CPAP machines are the noise, some condensation of the air line going to the mask, and the comfort of the mask itself. The only “natural cure” I am aware of is to lose weight, and that may or may not work.

Good luck.

No you need to go get the machine and get this treated before this gets serious. There are lots of different masks to choose from as well as nasal pillows which is what my husband chose to use.
