Why Is Everyone on CPAP Machines?

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Sleep apnea is a condition where you repeatedly stop breathing during sleep. Six million Americans have a diagnosis of sleep apnea, but another 25 million or more may be struggling undiagnosed. Sleep apnea is also becoming more prevalent among children
Snoring is a related problem, caused by a restriction in your airway stemming from either your throat or nasal passageway, and typically precedes more severe sleep apnea by several years
Lack of breastfeeding, the preponderance of processed food — which has predisposed several generations to a combination of obesity, malformed mouths and unnaturally small airways — and rampant vitamin D deficiency from lack of sun exposure appear to be primary causative factors for the steady rise in sleep apnea
One of the most frequently used treatments is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, which straps around your face and uses mild air pressure to keep your airways open while you sleep. However, CPAP does not address any of the potential underlying causes of sleep apnea
Better solutions include oral devices that correct your tongue or jaw position, and oral myofunctional therapy, a form of facial muscle therapy that helps reshape your oral cavity and promote proper placement of your tongue, head and neck

Common Causes for Sleep Apnea

The most frequently cited cause for sleep apnea in adults is obesity, which contributes by putting excess pressure on your upper airways, resulting in collapse and decreased neuromuscular control. As explained by Obesity Medicine:¹²

“Neck circumference, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio are also considerations when addressing overweight or obesity and suspecting sleep apnea. Neck circumference greater than 17 inches for men and 16 inches for women raise the risk of both obesity and sleep apnea.

Waist measurements equal to or greater than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women also raise the risk factor. Waist-to-hip ratio can also be calculated to assess for additional risk equivalent.

This ratio is determined by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement. The greater this ratio, the more significant the risk factors for sleep apnea and other obesity-related disorders …

Weight loss has been found to reduce the severity of sleep apnea as well as the development of the disorder. Overweight and obesity remain the most important modifiable causes of sleep apnea.”

Lies & Secrets

Oct 31, 2023

Dominic Cummings “1000 times worse than my language was the underlying insanity of the situation in Number 10 [Downing Street].”

Start of 2020 UK’s first national lockdown, considered a “completely crazy idea” “no way” nationwide restrictions could be introduced in Britain Strict border controls on China and more testing, “much better” outcome than lockdown.

Cummings to Johnson, March – May 2020 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023…

Matt Hancock “unfit for this job”

WhatsApp message, May 7 2020 “Hancock is unfit for this job.

The incompetence, the constant lies, the obsession with media bullshit over doing his job.

“Still no f*cking serious testing in care homes his uselessness is still killing god knows how many. This morning you must ask him when will we get to 500k per day and where is your plan for testing all care home workers weekly.”

Vulnerable people ‘almost appallingly neglected’ in lockdown decision “one of the most appalling things” lack of a shielding plan “and the Cabinet Office was trying to block us creating a shielding plan”.

Later message to the PM from Cummings “You need to think through timing of binning Hancock. There’s no way the guy can stay. He’s lied his way through this and killed people and dozens and dozens of people have seen it.”

WhatsApp message, 20 April 2020 from Mark Sedwill (Senior civil servant) “fast losing confidence in Hancock’s candour as well as grip.”

Culture of secrecy Dominic Cummings a “culture of secrecy” in the Cabinet Office, blocked Sage minutes “I also had a very strong view that the Sage minutes and other documentation should be made public in February for scrutiny”

“Patrick completely agreed – unfortunately again, the culture of secrecy in the Cabinet Office blocked that – not just in February/March, but blocking it for, I can’t remember how long, a very long time.”
