I was medically diagnosed with sleep apnea early last year (though as a mere male I do not go to the doctor til things are REALLY bad)...by May of 2003 I was relegated to sleeping sitting up on the couch so I could get any sleep at all. (Me and the mask were not friends!)
Anyway...I can't recall when it happened..but very early on in my new way of eating, I found I had no problems breathing at night. It gets better every day. I no longer have any symptoms at all.
NOW...I DO NOT propose that what happened for me could ever work for anyone BUT me. Your mileage may vary.
But I no longer have any problem with sleep apnea. My snoring has also diminished to a dull roar. (wink)
