Quote by Steven Magee

“While the doctor promised me I would feel better once on CPAP, the opposite happened. I was more fatigued than ever and I was now falling asleep while driving! I was sent on more sleep studies and given more diagnosis of sleep disorders.”

“I happened to bump into a friend one day and they were telling me they had used CPAP and hated the life support machine. They eventually switched over to a dental appliance made to treat the condition. The change was so successful that they eventually gave the CPAP machine away to a person in need. This got me thinking if I could pull off the same trick!”

“By May 2020, I was becoming increasingly forgetful. We were finding things in the kitchen that had been put into the wrong places. My fatigue had ramped up, allergy season was in full swing and I was routinely taking allergy medicines. The pulse oximeter was showing that I was having a few bouts of low oxygen that would last over an hour each time during sleep.”

“I found it concerning the sleep clinic had prescribed a setting that made me sick and this matched my findings with the CPAP machine that these CPAP and BiPAP prescriptions are highly inaccurate! Approximately 50% of people that are prescribed these treatments abandon them and a poor prescription setting is likely a factor in this. It takes weeks of experimentation to find the correct setting of these machines and sleep clinics trying to do it in one night is just providing many sickened patients with a really bad healthcare experience.”

“Sleep is important for a variety of reasons. Science has confirmed the importance of sleep and rest, both physically and psychologically. Sleep helps the body to recuperate after a long day of work and effort, by restoring and repairing brain tissue; this is why we wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and energized. Research also indicates that sleep is important for concentration, storage of memories, creativity, problem-solving, and mood. Physically, sleep strengthens the body by boosting immune cells and fortifying the disease-fighting immune system.”
