Re: Ionizer and CPAP question

[Guest guest]

Well, I am not a doctor, I dont even play one on TV, and I have no

idea what a CPAP is, but I would think anything that gets those ions

into your system would be good. I would imagine you're getting some

from the humidifier, but again, I'm just basing that on layman's

knowledge, The ions occur naturally in the air too, so other than

perhaps possibly getting TOO much of it, I would think the ionizer

is an idea worth asking your doc about.

If I had the time, I would pursue the light therapy more, but

sitting for 30 minutes a day is asking an eternity with my 4 little

kids around (2.5 year old triplets and a 4 yo). I thought about the

dawn simulators too, but since I am having success with the ionizer,

I'll put that idea on hold for now.

Last night inparticular, I woke up at like 12:30 totally refreshed,

had a very intense dream and thinking is was morning, and went back

to sleep. By morning, I had another intense dream and was feeling

great.

I cant tell you how much a boost that silent little stick-like thing

has been. The lexapro, only 10mg per day for me, has been

wonderful, and the ionizer has just taken it to another level. I'll

link to the company that I bought mine from soon. I gotta go find

the site again.

hope this helps!

here it is,

http://comtech-pcs.com/products.htm

I got the dual one with the dustgrabber and the maintenace free,

long-lasting ion emitter, so I went the whole way, it was like $160

total I think

so for what it is worth, I've had the best sleep of my life using it

now for a few weeks, and once actually out of bed, feel more

alert/alive/energetic than I ever have. (I still feel sluggish in

the bed when the alarm goes off, but once the feet are actually on

the floor, it's all systems go)

best of luck to you all

I have noticed since the days are getting shorter I have *much* less energy. I'm

tired and want to sleep a lot. Not depressed just tired. I think I need to get

me one of those lamps too. ;-)

I don't know about that CPAP and the ionizer...have you tried googling for it?

Ionizer and CPAP question

I was interested in the post about using the negative ionizer it at night. I

use a CPCA and

take 20 mg of Lexapro a day. The CPAP has helped tons with the depression

even before

starting the Lexapro. We all know what interrupted sleep does to our mood.

My question is, if I place an ionizer next to the intake port on the CPAP,

will I still get the

benefits? The room air enters the CPAP port where it is filtered, then the

air is blown

across a container of water to humidify it. From there it goes down a hose

and out the

nasal inserts and up my nose to keep the passages open. Or, will the air

blown across the

water in the humidifier become ionized as it does near waterfalls or the

ocean? (and yep,

I look like I'm kin to Darth Vader. LOL)

I just got my SAD light Tuesday and am sitting under it. Yesterday was the

first day and I

may have overdone it 'cause I was bouncing off the walls! LOL And I've never

been

bipolar! (Have always envied those who are because they can get the things

upswing that they were too depressed to do on the downswing).

I lOVE this SAD light and am thinking of calling it a HAPPY light.

Does anyone think that supplementing with Vitamin D3 (not D2 which is common in

most multivitamins) would take care of the energy problem common in the winter

months at these latitudes. D3 is what your body makes when exposed to sunlight.

My naturopath has me on 5,000. There are worries about the toxicity levels of D3

as its not excreted in the urine. However, some studies maintain that levels of

up to 10,000 have been used without any ill effects. The body can produce

between 10,000-20,000 a day with enough sunlight and not have problems. Best to

err on the side of caution and go on a low dose right?

From everything recent I've been reading 1000 to about 1100 a day for a woman my

age is adequate. I was a bit leery of taking this much at a time but it doesn't

seem to be bothering me. And toxicity with D3 is rare.

Found this link regarding Vit D. I found it informative. Not sure of it's

accuracy. But it sounds pretty much like the information I've found so far.
