A3: Dear Dr. Zeiger,
I have read the white papers on the Active Air, and have spoken with the CEO of the company, Rowena Gates.
The product looks interesting, but it is very costly, and unless you can integrate the unit into an existing health practice where you have clients pay for daily or perhaps every other day usage, the investment seems risky. I am, nevertheless considering putting the device in a clinical setting.
I would like to try out the unit and see if I personally note any health improvements, however I am a very healthy 59 year old that looks (most people say) closer to 40, so it is often difficult for me to notice differences.
The other issue is that so many health "gadgets" have an immediate placebo effect, which I always attribute to the "strangeness" phenomena when you are trying something new. If you can see a result after using a product like this for over three months, I think there would be something to it. Simply learning deep breathing techniques can have a remarkable health benefit.
Apparently the product has specific uses for sleep apnea, but I'm not sure I understand the mechanism and how it could work for that.
I also recommend you investigate the Frolov device. This is a Russian invention that is designed to help the body produce "endogenous oxygen." In other words, daily use of a Frolov Device ($99.99, $149.99 with an excellent book that describes the technology, available at
http://www.aviva.ca) results in your body producing higher levels of oxygen from smaller amounts inspired.
Yours in good health,
