About 10 years ago, Dr. Acker was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. The CPAP machine, with hose, mask and humidifier was prescribed for treatment.

Daily and weekly maintenance was never carefully explained - only "use soap and water, vinegar or bleach to clean it."  Therefore, Dr. Acker developed the process of cleaning and deodorizing with RespiClean and RespiSoak. Respiratory equipment may now be clean and free of odor causing bacteria. Maximum compliance can be achieved with the use of respiratory equipment. 

As a practicing physician for over 35 years, when I prescribe a treatment, I expect the patient to have strict compliance with it.  Otherwise, to not strictly comply is to render the treatment virtually worthless.  The health hazards for not using the CPAP, when prescribed, ALL NIGHT, EVERY NIGHT include the continuing and increased risks of developing:

• High Blood Pressure
• Congestive Heart Failure
• Coronary Artery Disease
• Stroke

Sleep Apnea is a potentially life-threatening disorder.
