Please be careful everyone!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's airport screening program has detected multiple cases of the new COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1, which has been linked to a large surge of the virus in China.

Cases linked to the NB.1.8.1 variant have been reported in arriving international travelers at airports in California, Washington state, Virginia and the New York City area, according to records uploaded by the CDC's airport testing partner Ginkgo Bioworks.

Feeling groggy ka pa rin ba kahit naka-CPAP?
‎
You might not be getting the most out of your CPAP therapy.
‎
Other CPAP distributors and sleep clinics charge up to P4,500 to extract your sleep data from your machine but did you know you can do it yourself for FREE?
‎
Here's how to do it:
1️⃣ Download & install OSCAR (Windows, Mac, Linux). No signup, no fees
2️⃣ Import your sleep data to your computer using your CPAP's SD card.
3️⃣ Review your sleep data.
‎
BONUS: You can export your sleep data and print it for your next checkup with your sleep doctor.

Your CPAP might be silently making you sick - and most doctors won't tell you why.
‎
I have helped maybe dozens of people in the last 3 years, and I've discovered the REAL reason many wake up congested despite using their machine.
‎
It's not your sleep position. It's not your pressure settings.
‎
It's bacteria buildup from improper cleaning.
‎
Want better sleep AND save hundreds on replacement parts? Here are 5 CPAP cleaning secrets that changed everything for CPAP users:
‎
🔹 Your mask cushion needs DAILY cleaning
The oils from your face break down the silicone and create leaks
→ Use mild dish soap and warm water every morning.
‎
🔹 That humidifier tank? Empty it DAILY
Standing water breeds bacteria within 24 hours (even if it looks clean)
→ Rinse with clean water and air dry completely
‎
🔹 CPAP tubing can be cleaned once a month
"Just good enough" isn't good enough when it comes to what you're breathing all night 😷
→ Soak in warm soapy water and hang to dry completely
‎
🔹 Your machine needs a weekly once-over
Dust accumulation affects performance and air quality
→ Gently wipe external surfaces with a dry cloth (never spray cleaners directly!)
‎
🔹 Filters are your first line of defense
→ Disposable filters: Replaced once monthly and every 2-3 weeks if you have pets.
‎
(The vinegar trick most people don't know: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts water to remove mineral buildup in your humidifier chamber once a month). Wash it with a mild dishwashing soap afterwards to remove the vinegar smell.
‎
Have you looked at your CPAP parts under bright light recently? You might be shocked at what's growing in there.

Did you know that snoring could be a sign of a life-threatening condition?

Four years ago, I was lying in the ICU, wondering what was happening to me. Turns out, my oxygen levels were dropping dangerously low, down to 76%! And if you don't know, normal oxygen should go down to 95%. That's when the doctors discovered I had severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

OSA is measured by something called the AHI. Mine was a whopping 117! Anything over 30 is severe, so you can imagine how bad it was. I was constantly tired, forgetting things, and sometimes I couldn't even finish a sentence. To be honest, it was one of the scariest times of my life.

But getting diagnosed with OSA changed everything. Starting CPAP treatment has been like night and day. I'm finally getting restful sleep and have the energy to enjoy life again.

Unfortunately, my dad didn't have the same chance. He suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnea for years. His snoring was legendary, we joked that he snored so loud he woke himself up! Little did we know, his body was fighting for survival every time he closed his eyes. He passed away a few days after Christmas at the age of 76, never getting to enjoy his retirement, always too exhausted to travel.

I've spent countless hours researching the best CPAP options and I'm sharing my story because I don't want anyone else to go through what my dad did. I believe everyone deserves access to quality sleep and affordable CPAP treatment.

If you think sleep health is important, please like our page and share this post. Let's spread the word about sleep apnea and help others get the sleep they deserve.

Together, we can make a difference.

No, you DON'T need to use distilled water in your CPAP machine.

Here's why...

A scientific study found that the humidifier on your CPAP doesn't actually spray water into the air, it just creates v***r. This means any bacteria or minerals in the water won't reach your lungs. (Here's the proof: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16236866)

❗ But the CPAP instructions say to use distilled water!
That's true, and it's definitely the safest option. But this study suggests that regular filtered water is fine too. (And let's be honest, those manufacturers probably just want to avoid lawsuits 😉)

❗ Wouldn't it void the warranty?
Using filtered water will not void your warranty or damage your machine.

❗ Can I use any kind of water?
No, you have to use clean drinking water. If in case you get any mineral buildup, just clean it with vinegar. And don't worry, your CPAP won't smell like vinegar if you wash and clean it thoroughly.

💵 Save money by using filtered water instead of buying distilled water for your CPAP machine.

How do you use your CPAP when your nose is more congested than EDSA traffic at rush hour?

Try these tips:
➡️ Mask Up, All Day Long: Wearing a face mask throughout the day helps trap precious humidity from your breath, opening up your nasal passages come bedtime.
➡️ Max the Humidity: Set your humidifier to the max setting. The more moisture, the better. Warm, moist air helps thin the mucus and makes it easier to breathe.
➡️ Warm It Up: Use warm water in your humidifier tank and, if your machine has it, turn on that warm-up setting.

Bonus Tip: I recently had a terrible bout of congestion, and even the extra humidity wasn't cutting it. What saved the day? A little over-the-counter oxymetazoline (Drixine specifically). It cleared me right up! (But always check with your doc first, okay?)

₱200,000 for a CPAP machine?! Grabe naman sa mahal!! 🤬

This is what frustrates me so much in the CPAP industry in the Philippines, outrageous prices and total disregard for patients' well-being!

These greedy companies are profiting off patients' desperation, preventing countless Filipinos with sleep apnea from getting life-saving treatment.

Let's stop this from happening! 💪

➡️ Call out these distributors and expose their exploitative pricing.
➡️ Support each other by joining CPAP groups that focuses on helping instead of selling (https://www.facebook.com/groups/cpapessentialscommunity)
➡️ Make your voices heard and demand fair prices for essential medical equipment.

We deserve better than this! Let's stand together and take back control of our sleep apnea journey
