I am a nurse with over 25 years experience in this area and I have seen a lot of people with various illnesses caused from chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC's in their homes, schools and workplace. This problem is growing as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.
We are now seeing more and more children with Asthma, Allergies, Hives, Eczema and many respiratory illnesses. I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about MCS and the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.
If you or a loved one suffers from Asthma, Allergies, Autism, chronic headaches, reproductive problems, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia, you need to read further and learn about the signs and symptoms of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet may be the culprit. So, the doctor will give you medications and many of these meds either do not work or cause other health problems.
Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of all evil when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.
And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health….many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.
Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don't they make the connection?
Here is a Brain Spect Scan Before and after a whiff of perfume:

BIG NO-NO's
No Bounce or dryer sheets
No Febreeze
No Glade Plug-ins
No scented candles
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Dander
No Sprays
And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is "Fragrance Free" these products often mask the smell with another chemical !
More and more offices and schools are creating "Fragrance Free Zones"… why do you think this is?
Feel free to contact me on this subject.
http://www.ourlittleplace.com/mcs.Nasal strips do not help sleep apnea.The Breathe Right nasal strips are for difficulty sleeping associated with nasal stuffiness, not for people with serious breathing problems. If your BiPAP was prescribed for you, you should use it every night with no substitutions. If you get a cold and have trouble breathing through your nose, then you may benefit from the nasal strips.
Your nose has nothing to do with your apnea-that's the excess tissue falling around your airway that's causing an occlusion.

How to Use Respironics Masks For a Healthier Sleep Cycle
Article by Dhaxel Barqs
So you're with your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse on vacation and you lay down beside him or her on your bed, he or she fast asleep. He or she snores and every now and then you hear that stop. You wonder and as you turn to him or her to check on them, you see that they had momentarily stopped breathing during their sleep.
What are Respironics masks?
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, or respironics masks, are used in the hospital setting mainly as a form of ventilation for patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), or those who are suffering from sleep apnea. These CPAP masks are also used to help the patient breathe when they are suffering from Type 1 or 2 respiratory failure.
Respironics masks and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder that is characterized by the pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode, an apnea, usually lasts long enough that one or more breaths are missed and this occurs often all throughout the person's sleep cycle. Usually each episode lasts at least ten seconds.
Regardless of the type of apnea, subjects without respironics masks, usually aren't aware of having trouble breathing even after waking from their sleep. This causes a (health) strain on a person in the form of fatigue and daytime sleepiness, depending on the level of sleep disturbance. Obviously, the higher the sleep disturbance, the more tired and prone to daytime naps a person can be.
Preventing Fatigue Caused by Respiratory-based Sleep Disorders
There is a good number of people who suffer from sleep apnea. Your spouse or partner might be one. Thus, it is quite prudent to say that it should be possible to rent CPAP masks or even buy it somewhere. However, there are still countries wherein respironics masks are only available by prescription. The main reason why these machines are only available by prescription is because these machines are calibrated to tailor the patient's treatment needs.
So if you think a family member is suffering from symptoms of sleep apnea, please consult your physician and see if CPAP masks are indeed a solution for their problem.
Sleep Better Knowing that They Breathe Better
Once you've visited your family doctor and they've diagnosed you or any of member of your family of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, it is prudent course of action to ask for which of the respironics masks available in the market best suits the patient's needs. These machines are not cheap so it is best to follow your doctor's advice on this one.
Some countries like the United States and United Kingdom wherein you buy these machines through a doctor's prescription. In countries like Australia and Canada, CPAP machines are widely available to everyone. In fact, in countries such as these, there are many manufacturer websites on the internet wherein you these machines in all different models and designs and all in different shapes and sizes. There are also a number of websites which gives you tips on how to clean and maintain your CPAP machines.
Rest assured that you will sleep better in the long one knowing that the people that you love suffering from sleep apnea are breathing better.
