1. Gargle salt water before bed 2. Lose weight 3. Do not eat 6 - 8 hours before sleep 4. Avoid processed foods especially sugars and carbs 5. Take magnesium
This is a great video!! I cured my severe sleep apnea and I come from a long family line of sleep apnea sufferers. Here's how I did it. I cut out all inflammatory foods and started exercising every day. I quit sugar, alcohol, refined foods and only ate a whole food diet (no snacking). After around three months my weight returned to normal and no sleep apnea. Today I no longer wake up choking and gasping for air in the middle of the night. My sleep is now long and deep, and I rarely even snore. An example of what I eat on a whole food diet is - mashed boiled egg and avocado, salmon with side of salsa salad followed by greek yoghurt with sliced fruit. I cut out all pasta and baked goods - bread, cookies, crackers, cake, donuts, bagels and all packaged foods with added sugar. I am cured and wake up feeling so well. I walk every day, I gym 4 times a week. Life is good!!
Can you elaborate on which inflammatory foods you cut out? Not sure if those are different to the ones you mentioned in the following sentence. Great post!
You made me cry! I have been given so many meds , and my body is in bad shape,Grand mall seizures and memory loss, bones so soft I can't lay down on the ground without cracking a rib or something. Bowels were shutting down, I was dying. Thank God Almighty 🙏 🙌 ❤️ I found you!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 I love you so much for your help. God Bless you and your Beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏🫂🫂🫂❤️✨️
@kellyhiggins I love you and I am praying for you from this day forward. May God HEAL you and USE you. Be blessed you mighty woman of the most high God.
Magnesium glycinate and Vitamin D3/K2, if not contraindicated, may help with your bone health. Andrew Lessman also has a formulation of vitamins called "Bone & Body Factors," or something like that, for women. A number of supplements have recently been advertised for memory improvement; Prevagen is one. Andrew Lessman also has a brain and memory support formulation. Andrew Lessman's products are often featured on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). When he's featured on-air, they usually have special pricing that makes it more affordable, especially if you buy the larger quantities. I try to stock up on the products I use a lot when I can and they do the featured specials. I just saw a report too that eating blueberries 🫐, preferably daily, is supposed to help with memory.
Yes, much appreciated. We must remember that he is not an MD. MDs only prescribe medicines from big pharma. We are all seeking more. We are doing our best to move away from big pharma. Thankfully, this approach offers different options!!!/Kudos.
I used a cpap for 10 years. Spent $940 for one that adjusts pressure automatically several times per minute. Went on a strict keto diet and 3 months later no cpap, no BP meds, no statin meds. Only downside- had to buy smaller size clothes.
Oh darn! Who wants a new wardrobe!! I do! I did that too. only it took me a lot longer than 3 months. Then I started gaining weight back and my sleep apnea came back. I am back on Keto. I also fell and injured my nose and I do get stuffed up at night.
This is how a doctor should be. Showing us how to live a lifestyle that prevents us to not need prescriptions to get by everyday. Most doctors just want to make money off of their patients. I know this dr. Feels great for helping people on here.
I'm sure this helpful valuable Information aggravates Money Hungry Docs. No harm meant but I'm always looking for a cure not just a "temporary treatment" that can only be a quick fix if that at all. Peace & Blessings 🌱
I am from Brazil and old people there recommended salt water gurgling for lots of things. My mom usually said that doing it regularly make even your throat stronger and free of infections, bacteria or virus. Very nice hearing it from you.
Take food like medicine. That alleviates the need to take medicine like food. Iam just enjoying God's kingdom here on earth because of people like you, Thank you, Doc! My prayers for you!
@@jp2650 where do you believe God's Kingdom apon the earth is? I'm curious to here your answer. I know where it is but your answer is what what I'm asking.
I had sleep apnea from 2014 to 2019. In 2019 I lost about 50 lbs. I was finally able to stop using my cpap machine! But after listening to the video today, I still think that I may have silent reflux. I'm ready to keep improving my life, so thank you for the great education.
@@preetimittal2123 Yes. I also saw a video that links sleep apnea to low B vitamins. I started taking a daily Nutritional Yeast supplement which is high in natural B vitamins. It's also helped! My husband doesn't complain about me snoring either. It's been since spring of 2019 that I used my CPAP machine.
It happened to me a couple of times, I woke up in desperation cause I wasn’t breathing so it got so much better when I did the following, stopped drinking alcohol, stopped baked goods and flour 80%, moved dinner from 10-11 pm to 6-7 pm the latest, started hydrating more during the day and changed my eating habits more healthy foods.
There are different types of sleep apnea with different causes. Diet can't solve all types. It's very important to work with your doctor and not just blindly follow the advice of a "doctor" online who has never physically examined you or evaluated your results of a sleep study.
Anytime I ask Jesus to heal me one one of your video's comes on! Thank you Doc this is such a Blessing not just for me but for everyone!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Absolutely!! I agree this is exactly how doctors used to be and should still be… and I’ll say it …. Until big pharma took over healthcare!!!! This man is a God sent for us in healthcare who genuinely still “care” about people and have intact ethics and morals !!! Many many thanks to you, doc !!!
Big Pharma wants to sell you DRUGS. That’s why they fund medical schools to teach med students how to “manage symptoms” with drugs. It used to be that medical students were trained to treat the problem. Now they are trained to treat the symptoms with drugs. Case in point: How many people do you know who are using multiple drugs to treat symptoms and the side affects of the symptoms?
Great video! My husband has sleep apnea and silent reflux. He has now developed an awful cough so I will take the advice to gargle with salt water and get that ACV into him before meals in a glass of water. We must cut the puddings out, not eat late in the evening and I will get him some Magnesium too. I think the best vit D3 is the sun in summer but we need it in pill form in the winter too. My husband is nearly 90 but I want him to stay as healthy as possible. Wonderful help from Dr Mandel. Many, many thanks. 🙏😍
@@SarjeetSharma-sj5gh he recommends magnesium citrate or glycinate(maybe gluconate?) ...he didn't make a brand. those r types of magnesium that can n bought and taken in evening. I like the brand "Calm"
I found a liposomal vitamin d3 with k2 on Amazon and it's helped my vitamin d levels alot over the standard d3 with k2. You should always take k2 with d3.
The Lord is answering my prayer through all your videos. I’m looking for your videos everyday and finding great relief in so many issues. No red tape or bottles of things to buy , just a man of God speaking truth. Thank you so so much.! FYI ,your presentation are easy to listen to,to the point , really since the spirit of the Lord in you!
I have leaky gut, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, night terrors, night mares, panic attacks and chronic fatigue . . .ever since I was 19. I've been following your videos recently. . . you're a dream come true!!!🌈🌦️🙂
@@river4462mom with undiagnosed untreated lifelong narcissist bipolar psychopath symptoms come from a poverty dysfunctional alcoholic(Christian) family who expected their kids to be perfect . . .it's still a jacked up mess . . .my dad was abused and had undiagnosed ADHD. . .I had untreated head trauma and vision problems with severe exhaustion and pain . . kept getting humiliated for not doing better in school . . .parents were corporate driven not soul finding . . . I'm just now sorting it all out . . . Of course I can't tell her . . .there would be a hole in the roof
I am a Christian and would like to say I am so sorry you went through all of that. No one is perfect that why Jesus had to die for us. I think people are scared of failure and what others will think of them. God come for the broken and He uses our imperfections. I was always judged by others also. But just the other day at church the message was about broken people. I felt like God was saying you don’t need to be perfect I will use you with brokenness. I just sat and cried. Opposite of you it was someone who is not saved that unbeknownst to them always seemed to want me to do everything correct. Which in itself is not bad but if I fail I need to be encouraged not berated. I feel so free
This is my number one favorite channel on TH-cam! So much great advice on the root causes of problems from a truly caring doctor! You’ve helped me so much to treat the cause and not the symptoms of some of my problems. God bless you, Dr Mandell. Thank you.
Dr. Mandel , you have been sent to earth by Almighty. Love to listen to you daily and get to know many things about human body and its complexity. Tons Tons of thanks.
I sure wish there were more doctors like you Dr. Mendell. Any one who Listens to you can actually see that. So happy that you are involved here with all of us who appreciate you. Thanks for being who you are and for sharing your love of caring for others the way you do.
There's a homesteader on YT who had severe GERD and she said docs said they were concerned about her survival as it was that bad. She stopped eating all refined/processed foods and went all organic with most of her food coming from her own garden. Her acid completely went away and she can even eat tomatoes/tomato products from her garden without incident. Very encouraging personally as I've had GERD almost all of my life- even when I wasn't overweight and had no sleep apnea. Our food has a huge impact.
I had real bad GERD and realized that eating wheat products in the evening were the main cause for me. I dropped the bread and cookies after the PM and it made it go away after just a few days. It was almost magical.
I have very painful endometriosis and out of desperation I tried to change my diet. About two months ago I went gluten free and drastically cut refined sugar and processed food. I used to have bad GERD and it completely disappeared. I can even eat acid foods in the evening and it's fine. My endo symptoms also improved, although I know it will take a bit longer to have a real impact. Bonus effect: I effortlessly lost 4 kilos in 2 months 😊 Food really does a huge difference
Grocery store foods by big corp. Have bad things In them..we seriously must return to grow our own food like before. Stop eating Fast Food!! No processed Foods.
I had sleep apnea since my late teens, and I raced bicycles! Thin as a stick too. I woke up from surgery and noticed that my O2 saturation was 72%! 🤯 I found a doctor that prescribed a cpap machine (after TWO sleep studies), life got better quickly. I quit drinking milk 1 month ago and started drinking ACV. I'm losing the weight that I gained after several injuries, and my acid reflux is GONE. Praise the Lord Jesus! Edit: I still use a cpap due to my deviated septum.
You did the right thing I have sleep apnea I'm still on the machine I am losing inches more than weight I am very thankful that I have the machine and yes you did all the right things
I am 63, when i was in my early 20's i had this sleep apnea problem. It scared me because i was a back sleeper and i learned to sleep on my side, that made it safe for me to sleep. Forty years ago I didn't know what sleep apnea was. I will still lose the weight and follow these tips.😊
I have sleep apnea. I have watched and followed you for a while now. I think you're very smart. You explain health issues very well and thorough. I struggle with anxiety and eat wrong at night. I want to do like you tell us so bad! I will not give up. Keep teaching us the right stuff for our health.
I stopped night snacking a year ago. Key is NOT to buy the snacks and to only purchase healthy foods. Organic raisins and popcorn helped me transition. No crackers or chips come into my house. Gradual changes make a difference. 🙏
You are amazing Dr. Mandell, you are showing others - how a doctor should be. Showing us how to live a lifestyle that prevents us to not need medication and it give side effect on our body by everyday. I am a great follower of your videos it gives me more confident and feels great for helping people on this platform
I can say that I have sleep apnea, I was put on a breathing machine. Also have acid reflux and was put on Prilocec. I took 3months and changed my diet, drank lots of water only everyday., exercises 4 or more times a week. Long story short, I lost 30 lbs. My acid reflux stopped, I slept with out machine, and has a lot more healthly energy! I was 59yrs old at that time also. Anyone can do it! Tks Doc! Your the best!
I’m in Jamaica and my sister is in England and we have just been talking sleep apnea and then you came on so I’ve sent her your video! Your kindness shows in your face thank you I’ve used your advice on so many things
Big love!! I've had the surgery, actually a butchering to no avail. CPAP machine, no dice. Now after dropping 50+ pounds, regular Vitamin D3, multi vitamins and salt water gargle..Some improvement, still lot's of damage done. Difficulty swallowing from esophagus scarring, teeth ruined from acid, heart arrhythmia condition for over 12 years. So the sleeping with back elevation, Apple cider vinegar, Magnesium and no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed. I'm adding these to my tool belt and at age 59+ and a warrior, hopefully I can live at least another decade with greater quality of life. Bipolar on top of these other things, but I'm grateful to live and learn. Thank you for your continued time and energy, I wish good health for you and all in this community. Lot's of wisdom in prevention through nature. Hopefully one day soon that will become a very relevant aspect of medical school. Love to all❤️
Also..have you tried the salt water nasal wash…?.? It gets the stuff in the back of the throat out for sure. As often as you need when the sinus accumulates and causes lots of hacking and coughing. Gargling with salt water is good but the nasal wash before that is very effective.
Thank you Dr. Mandell for sharing this information on sleep apnea! I hate so much using a cpap, I quite using my cpap after loosing 83 lbs. Dr. Still say I need to use a cpap but I totally disagree strongly! I don't stop breathing nor do I snore. I will keep watching your video. You have helped with this new info. Thank you so much!!!
this very very crucial , great information, my mother suffers from sleep apnea, she just suffer from several strokes that left her Paralyze , very very sick now , now praying for her for healing I wish I would of know about her condition , she didn’t tell us before 🥺 , Im taking all this information so I could help my mom heal , Gods will!
Thank you thank you thank you. This is a kickstart for me. Have sleep apnea and my dad just passed away recently. The time is now for a proper health change.
@@roxyandjamesflynn906 thanks she hasn’t gotten worse, the side ( Left) that she couldn’t move , she is able to move very little . thank you so much for your prayers!
Brilliant! Dr did sleep study and wanted to put me on CPAP. I sensed it had to do with my throat getting "congested" after several hours sleeping. Eventually went to a Naturopath who said it could be silent reflux. I used a slightly higher pillow and worked on digestive issues, and I don't think I'm having apnea episodes in wee hours anymore. Thanks for the helpful video!
@@aimeekreutzer-malkawi I'd say within 1-2 months. I should add that the ND noted I had a hiatal hernia (which was a big cause of the silent reflux) so he fixed that. The other factor which caused a thick feeling in my throat (affecting apnea) was allergies, so I tried to avoid those foods, took a supplement the ND recommended for healing the gut, and also took enzymes (adding betaine hcl once we felt the reflux was no longer an issue) to aid digestion. So it was a multi-pronged approach.
I'm completely floored and nearly in tears for learning about this and finding ways to help improve my sleep and my life. Thank you so much for offering this information freely.
Your Amaizing Dr Mendell! I had sleep apnea! I lost 59kg Now I'm Size 8 Aus, size 4 USA. No more sleep apnea at all, no more acid reflux. All my blood test are 100% perfect! Vit D, B, Colesterol, sugar, iron. My blood pressure is now perfect. My doctor said it's so perfect they are boring! Lol I'm so happy!!! I love following your channel. Thank you for being one of the drs guiding me 😊❤
Dr. Mandel is a "Medical Angel" sent from Heaven. Thank You So Much Dr. Mandel and God Bless You! I TRUST YOU over the so-called medical professionals. I tell people research "natural" alternatives as the Native Americans and others did.
P.S. My parents said that I snored like a lion ever since I was born. Almost all the neighborhood kids did from what I was told when I was a kid. All my friends did when we had sleep overs and Boy Scout camp. This includes girls too. Have a CPAP. Every time I've used it, I have gotten a horrible sinus infection-tried all cleaning methods, even a new mask right out of the wrapper-same thing & nothing gets any better. A vicious circle day after day. I've lost a total of 46 LBS in the last 6 months>lots of muscle mass. I've learned a lot from this that NONE of my Dr.s have picked up on. Outstanding video that everyone should see. Thank you. I am very very disappointed in the medical profession because most just focus on the ($)signs.
From the Netherlands here. This is a great vid. I had all of the symptoms and was also diagnosed with H. pylori. After a double antibiotics cure and a negative labtest afterwards the symptoms of heardburn, coughing, waking up after only few hours of sleep, were still present. Things started to change when I took and still do so, two or three times an day a spoon of apple vinegar in a glass of water. Preferably 10 minutes before a meal, but I have the idea that the timing of the intake doesn't matter too much. I also take two to four Slippery Elm capsules (2x2) that I open up and mix it with a little bit of water. I also do the gargling with salt water before sleeping and sometimes I use this Rino cup to rinse my nose with salt water. I only do this when my nose feels dry but stuffed somehow. The combination of thes simple things worked for me and made me happy again. From all of the above, I think the apple viegar and gargling are the most effective. And sleep on your left side 80% of the time. Good luck to all and God bless you. Thanks to dr. Alan Mandell for these wonderful videos. Great work.
Wow!!! I have sleep apnea and gerd. Last night, I saw this video and I gargled with warm salt water and propped myself up on pillows. Used my Cpap machine and for the first time in months I slept for 8 hours with 0 incidents. Thank you! Thank you!!! Now on to the next steps…to cut out the rich foods and start with the vitamins, walking after a meal. God bless!!!
I have been suffering with constant post nasal drip and throat clearing for YEARS! I have been given so many prescriptions for sinus problems and was totally misdiagnosed! This video is yruly life changing for me! Explains all my symptoms, and I will be definitely using the solutions you presented in this video!! THANK YOU so much. I have experienced most of tge symptoms of silent reflux that you described. You have changed my life. I am grateful.
It's so much knowledge you are throwing out there, I did not know I have silent reflux until I listened to your program all the symptoms I have, thank you for having found you, I thought it was just old age, not anymore.
This is totally amazing , I've been suffering from anea for yrs. I have lost over 80 lbs ,I didn't know this, thankyou for sharing such great advice, Bless you Doc 🙏 ❤.
I have had 45 year history of reflux, treatment including surgery, proton pump inhibitors and coincidentally, the last 3 years on CPAP for apnea. My new dr. Who practices Functional Med, has me on acids and bitters when eating, and a low carb diet. I’m hopeful this will improve everything for me! Thanks for all these tips.
Dr Mandell, great job with this discussion. As a registered sleep Technologist, I wanted to say that.. Can't argue with Any thing you said. Furthermore, this needs to be talked about more. Sleep apnea is the silent killer. God bless...
DEAR DR. MANDALL ! I GARGALED WITH PINK Sea SALT and APPLE CIDER VINEGAR before BED last night. 90% IMPROVEMENT - slept thru 1 AM - 7 AM - only got up 2 times to use bathroom. ! Also took Vitamin D, K and Cal / Mag./ Zinc to relax me more. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some other tips: You might work on tightening the muscles that keep your mouth closed by holding a pen between your teeth for about 10 minutes before bedtime. If your jaw starts to ache, you can easily stop. You don’t want to do anything that is too much - this is a gradual process of training and retraining. And there are also other simple practices you can do throughout the day like singing in the shower or singing in the car. Singing can help increase the muscle control in the throat and soft palate and it’s simple and fun to do. Just put on your favourite music and sing to your heart's content. So now that you have learned some simple techniques to keep the good work going, Imagine yourself in your sleeping sanctuary or your bedroom once again. You might see yourself taking a warm bath, reading a book, getting ready for bed or pulling down the sheets. Sometimes these nighttime rituals can be very soothing and helpful. Now, as you climb into bed, you might smooth the sheets over your body. Go ahead and go through all the steps you would normally take before going to bed. You might try sleeping on your side or strapping a tennis ball to the bottom of your back to enforce sleeping on your side. And now just in case you want a few more tips, there are also some additional things you can try during your day. For example, some people find it helpful to place the length of their tongue to the roof of their mouth holding it there for as long as they can. You can repeat this simple practice 2-3 times a day. You might also purse your lips just like you were about to kiss someone slowly moving them up to the right and then up to the left repeating about 10 times. Gargling with water or placing your lips on a balloon and blowing it up can also be helpful. And if you really feel like having some fun, you can try opening your mouth as wide as possible and then saying ah in the back of the throat for about 20 seconds. Now while these exercises may seem simple - they can be highly effective when practised enough.
Where did you get this info from? My mouth won’t stay closed whether I sleep on side or not..I’m fighting with mouth tape every time ..lips , mouth constantly dry ..day ,night …Don’t think I have sleep apnea..
@@lizwiening3939 I’m a hypnotherapist and theatre director - I work with insomnia and sleep apnea. Obviously one size does not fit all! Some clients have managed to stop the effects happening. It can be a matter of modifying how you sleep. I also use hypnosis to suggest that they breathe in sleep I’m a modified version of their daytime breathing - as we don’t generally suffer in waking mode. Some people will end up having the operation to trim excess flesh. Some might do it through weight loss. Or utilising the tips in this video…. And there is a whole bunch of stuff surrounding before you sleep. In your case I’d say try ear nose and throat specialist to define the issue more clearly
Dr. Mandell, there is not enough words to express how much I appreciate you! You have helped me so much in so many ways!! Love you and God bless you!!!
Dr. Mandell, Thank you very much. I have been identified as having sleep apnea 2 years ago. I tried the bipap equipment and couldn't adapt to the pressure levels. So I have changed my sleeping position and i use breathe right strips. These helped my oxygen levels, but i still had acid reflux. After seeing this video, it's been a month now. I have cleaned up my diet cutting out sugar and white flour. I started drinking water with Apple Cider Vinegar with water before going to sleep to reduce my acid reflux. I have lost 10 lbs. I haven't taken an antacid since. I am amazed at the improvements. I sleep longer with better quality sleep. I have a samsung watch for monitoring my sleep showing constant sleep improvements. I am 55. Thank you very much Martin.
Hi Dr Mandell my name is Marilyn Joseph and everything you're saying is true I used to suffer from sleep apnea and acid reflux I've lost a lot of weight and I don't suffer from it anymore but I suffer from gerd I saw your program with the apple cider vinegar and it's a lot better
Hello dr. Mandell from Canada. I love your clear messages and you articulate every single issue with such clarity that it is of great solace to hear you speak. You are a blessing to the youtubers who follow you. thanks for taking the time to explain. Thks for everything
Dr. Mandell, I'm really grateful to you for allowing us such fundamental informative opportunities that help us become a better version of ourselves... I got so much out of your videos... May God continue to increase and prosper you. I appreciate you so much. 🙏❤️
Thank you Dr mandell, I so love your channel, my son 6yrs old has asthma, and sleep apena, very useful info, took him off refined cabs,give cinnamon and all. Thank you from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I really appreciate your program. You really care for people because you take all this time on line to reach out to us. I am learning so much from you. I want to say Thank You. God Bless You. I have Sleep Apnea.
I truely thank God for you ,God will reward you in Heaven ,for helping his people ,some destroy but you really help us .May God continue to bless you forever. and Bless your Family .
I practice two meals per day and I always drink a glass of acv or lemon or lime water 30 minutes before my meals. This really helps with reflux and general digestion.
after 13 months of Keto and losing over 47 lbs, I tossed my CPAP and can sleep without the mask and have dreams as well, indicating deep REM sleep. Such a liberation to finally lose the weight and as this video points out, key to reducing your apnea issues! thanks! Snore - Less here in Oregon
Keto is terrible long-term. Yes, you will lose a lot of weight on low carb, but you’re also affecting your body’s ability to tolerate carbs, which are essential. It’s not sustainable for the majority of people. When you start eating carbs again, you’ll not only gain all the weight back, but your blood sugar regulation will be worse than before. Most of the purported benefits of keto are purely a result of cutting out the majority of processed foods. The same “miracle” cures are reported with other restrictive diets. The key is to add more good foods such as fermented foods, the right herbs, etc. The more you add good foods, the less processed foods you crave. Much more effective long term, with the added bonus of not having the common drawbacks associated with restrictive diets. There are plenty of cultures (including all the blue zones where people live past 100) where people eat high carb diets and are extremely healthy. But they move a lot. They do a lot of walking. Lots and lots of walking. Daily walking and drinking enough water are the most effective things one can do for their health, but most people don’t want to do this.
Thank you for this. I stopped acid blockers because they were causing more symptoms and physical challenges. I do intermittent fasting and have reduced my mass. I have betaine hydrochloride with my meals and drink lemon in my water. I will add the salt water gargling and vitamin C, to see what else I can improve. The 6-inch wedge pillow has done more good for me than any CPAP machine I’ve used. I don’t sleep through the night, but I have increased the uninterrupted hours of sleep. Thank you for this topic. Blessings!
@@Ben77788 I’m in Canada. We have foam stores where I purchased mine. My store is called The Foam Shop. There might be something similar where you live. Blessings!
My silent reflux was causing chronic bronchitis (14 months on antibiotics!). I lost 5 kg, changed to high vegetable and colour fruits, cut out processed foods. I made smoothies AND I added slippery elm powder to the smoothies. The bronchitis has now gone
@user-mb8vv1vx5u: Couldnt agree w/ you more regarding the Slippery Elm!!! SLippery Elm is great for any bodily inflammation. Been using for yrs mostly for Crohn's Disease, IBS. Soothes my gut. I like to make a tea w/ it. How do you use it & in what form do you buy it? 🤔. 😊 From NYC . I too have silent Reflux & a hiatal hernia that makes life pretty damn miserable when I eat.
We have to watch using supplements.. sometimes it has an effect on the medicine's we take. Check with your pharmacist first, before taking any supplement's when taking medicine's of any type!
Ty so much dr! I had sleep apnea. I also ground my teeth at night & seriously damaged them. I then got a cpap machine & used it for 20 years. It saved my life. I was 42 yo when I started. I stopped using it at 62 yo, but it had already ruined my marriage. I also developed t2 diabetes in 2011 which I have since reversed. There are lots of bad habits to get rid of. For me the cure was inter alia: (1) lose weight. I did it by 8/16 intermittent fasting. (Ty dr. Jason Fung) This is also a huge benefit for t2d. I am now eating mostly 1 meal a day. (2) a daily juice of 2 carrots, 1 apple, 1 lemon & a big piece of ginger. (Lots of vit c) You will notice a difference after a few weeks. (3) exercise! Bike to work or walk there if you can. Go to the gym. Start swimming again. Play ping pong. (4) smoking & alcohol. Stop smoking! Easy to say, but I stopped after 35 years. Alcohol is difficult to give up but try to limit it to once or twice a week. (5) supplements & vitamins. We're all short of the key nutrients we need to build new cells. Wishing u all health, pesce & love 🙏
You know I really appreciate to be honest all of the symptoms that you've described or what I've been dealing with and I believe I was misdiagnosed with sleep apnea. For a while the CPAP seem to work but now as time goes I realize that it's not what they said. Thank you so much for what you do I appreciate what you've done for me!
This talk has really made me think. I am always clearing my throat using lozengers and struggling to breath when I wake up. As I've said in a previous post I'm waiting for my machine. Can't thank you enough for your advice. Good health to you all.
I’ve had two sleep studies done and each time, they tell me I had four episodes during the night and it takes five to be sleep apnea. I live alone and it’s scary. Lately, I’m falling asleep at work, depressed, have gained weight, my BP has been up despite my meds for the past couple of months, and I wake up during the night trying to catch my breath. I wake up with headaches and it takes a moment for my breathing to get to normal, once awake and walking around. I recently started a 14 day no meat, dairy, bread, sodas, etc. Week one, I’ve lost five pounds, more energy but still unable to focus and falling to sleep at work. I appreciate Dr. Mandell and I appreciate the work he’s doing.
Don't worry! That is normal, so you don't have sleep apnea. 😊 I have severe sleep apnea, 37 episodes per hour, and each episode is at least one minute. 🥺 If I worried about it I would make myself very sick. It's better to take care of your diet and body and enjoy life. Well done for your efforts!!! 👏👏👏
@@lottat6420 Thanks for sharing. During the three week detox, I lost 14 pounds. My sleeping and BP is much better. Wow, I’m praying that your condition gets better. Thanks for the encouragement 💛
There are two types of sleep apnea, one is congestive, where your breath is being restricted. The other is neurological, like I have, where you just exhale and don't breathe again until you're so oxygen deprived that you wake up gasping for air. Dr Berg says, if it's neurological, B-1 ( thiamine ) may help. I've been taking B1 and my episodes went from 18 to 6 per hour.
Yep I have experienced the same as what 2 other viewers have reported.......just after praying for help, I am led to Dr. Mandel channel. All his other advice which I followed, help e.g. excercises , facial massage. 😊
I am a great fan of yours. I will fwd this to my sister's son in Ottawa. He has Sleep apnai for yrs now. I hope he will follow your advice and her relief . God bless you always Ameen I am from Karachi, Pakistan. I will be 80yrs in June this yr God willing Ameen
I am now learning about sleep apnea. My wife says its frightening to see me stop breathing. Your insights is educational and looking forward to trying your methods
Bless you richly dr. Mandrels am slowing trying to implement the things you are talking about taking medicine for 20 years for diabetes is not good especially metaphormin it has cause so many side effects I just keep working on it I think the body takes a long time to detox!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
I'm glad I saw this program because in the past two week I've had been under stress and get nose drips and three times waking up choking. I know it's sinus with acid reflex. Thank you. It's a good thing I take vit D for my bones.
Jan 2022 weighting 182lbs, i started dieting. My goal was 155lbs which I reached early May 2022. Had been on a Cpap machine/mask about 30 months at the time. Long story short made an appointment with my Apnea therapist in August and she bolted in the exam room all excited, showing me my apnea was gone. No more Cpap machine needed for me!
Your lucky. I weigh 140 and im 5 ft 5 28 years male and some nights my ahi is 15 to 20s the first hour or so it keeps me from falling asleep because I'm gasping. But then 2 or three hours goes by and i eventually fall asleep and my ahi is around 2 or so
Doc I've been challenged with Apnea for over 20 years. There is so much truth to what you say, I lost 30 pounds years ago and the sleep study revealed, I no longer needed the CPAP. Thank you for all you do, God bless you One Hundred fold.
I like this video. I haven't been to a doctor in, maybe, 16 years or more. I believe in self-help and have been this way most of my life. Your "free" information is fantastic. Thank you so much.
1. Gargle salt water before bed
2. Lose weight
3. Do not eat 6 - 8 hours before sleep
4. Avoid processed foods especially sugars and carbs
5. Take magnesium

How much n what form of mg?
Magnesium-rich foods
pumpkin seeds, 30g - 156mg
chia seeds, 30g - 111mg
almonds, 30g - 80mg
spinach, boiled, ½ cup - 78mg
cashews, 30g - 74mg

Thanks mjc.
Also, have a tbsp apple cider vinegar/ lemon juice in a glass of water 5min before your meal.
This is a great video!! I cured my severe sleep apnea and I come from a long family line of sleep apnea sufferers. Here's how I did it. I cut out all inflammatory foods and started exercising every day. I quit sugar, alcohol, refined foods and only ate a whole food diet (no snacking). After around three months my weight returned to normal and no sleep apnea. Today I no longer wake up choking and gasping for air in the middle of the night. My sleep is now long and deep, and I rarely even snore. An example of what I eat on a whole food diet is - mashed boiled egg and avocado, salmon with side of salsa salad followed by greek yoghurt with sliced fruit. I cut out all pasta and baked goods - bread, cookies, crackers, cake, donuts, bagels and all packaged foods with added sugar. I am cured and wake up feeling so well. I walk every day, I gym 4 times a week. Life is good!!
God Bless you!! If you can do it I know I can too!! 🙏🏽
Can you elaborate on which inflammatory foods you cut out? Not sure if those are different to the ones you mentioned in the following sentence. Great post!
Yes which inflammatory Foods U cut off & thks 4 infor" I loveme someDr.mandel infor' & the beat goes on when ppl gives testimony

You need a doctor that knows menopause so your bones are affected
Magnesium glycinate and Vitamin D3/K2, if not contraindicated, may help with your bone health. Andrew Lessman also has a formulation of vitamins called "Bone & Body Factors," or something like that, for women. A number of supplements have recently been advertised for memory improvement; Prevagen is one. Andrew Lessman also has a brain and memory support formulation. Andrew Lessman's products are often featured on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). When he's featured on-air, they usually have special pricing that makes it more affordable, especially if you buy the larger quantities. I try to stock up on the products I use a lot when I can and they do the featured specials. I just saw a report too that eating blueberries 🫐, preferably daily, is supposed to help with memory.
Nothing greater than a doctor who is telling the truth about how we can heal ourselves
actually every doctor tells you to lose weight for sleep apnea.

@@leelashan8866 ,good points mentioned about sleep apnea; as well as acid reflux condition and dry 👄 mouth.Very informative!
I used a cpap for 10 years. Spent $940 for one that adjusts pressure automatically several times per minute. Went on a strict keto diet and 3 months later no cpap, no BP meds, no statin meds. Only downside- had to buy smaller size clothes.
Im in the same boat now...how much total weight did you lose?
What a great downside! Better to spend money on the clothing than all the side effects of SA
Oh darn! Who wants a new wardrobe!! I do! I did that too. only it took me a lot longer than 3 months. Then I started gaining weight back and my sleep apnea came back. I am back on Keto. I also fell and injured my nose and I do get stuffed up at night.
So the sleep apnea wasnt from a tight airway?
@@balkee42 mine is although I’m not having symptoms after drastic diet change 7 weeks ago
This is how a doctor should be. Showing us how to live a lifestyle that prevents us to not need prescriptions to get by everyday. Most doctors just want to make money off of their patients. I know this dr. Feels great for helping people on here.
Exactly, preventative medicine.
Exactly!

This is true. My grandmother always had us gargling with warm salt water.
This a Common Practice in India.🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

it’s True. I stared doing this salt water gargling before bedtime and it works. Happy wife now 🙂

I have been talking sleeping pill for a long time
I had sleep apnea from 2014 to 2019. In 2019 I lost about 50 lbs. I was finally able to stop using my cpap machine! But after listening to the video today, I still think that I may have silent reflux. I'm ready to keep improving my life, so thank you for the great education.
Hi mam, please reply...still you dont use cpap
What was your Ahi when you first diagnosed?
@@preetimittal2123
Yes. I also saw a video that links sleep apnea to low B vitamins. I started taking a daily Nutritional Yeast supplement which is high in natural B vitamins. It's also helped! My husband doesn't complain about me snoring either. It's been since spring of 2019 that I used my CPAP machine.
Properly hydrating yourself through the night will help keep your sinuses moist and working properly improving your breathing! Good job!
@@MA_808 are you also suffer from sleep apnea
It happened to me a couple of times, I woke up in desperation cause I wasn’t breathing so it got so much better when I did the following, stopped drinking alcohol, stopped baked goods and flour 80%, moved dinner from 10-11 pm to 6-7 pm the latest, started hydrating more during the day and changed my eating habits more healthy foods.
Yes .
It did all that and even lost weight and still didn't solve
Yogic Breathing technics can be tried.
Did you mean flour? Or flower
There are different types of sleep apnea with different causes. Diet can't solve all types. It's very important to work with your doctor and not just blindly follow the advice of a "doctor" online who has never physically examined you or evaluated your results of a sleep study.
Anytime I ask Jesus to heal me one one of your video's comes on! Thank you Doc this is such a Blessing not just for me but for everyone!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

I love Dr. Mandell's passion for healing and his empathy for fellow human beings. You can always tell he is a kind, caring soul.
Absolutely!! I agree this is exactly how doctors used to be and should still be… and I’ll say it …. Until big pharma took over healthcare!!!! This man is a God sent for us in healthcare who genuinely still “care” about people and have intact ethics and morals !!! Many many thanks to you, doc !!!
Some doctor's, are medically burned out... in need of a long leisure vacation or two.
yeah especially the direct marketing to people..." ask your doctor about....fill in the blank...
Thank Obama for making it big business no competition then we end up with D doctors instead of A doctors
Big Pharma wants to sell you DRUGS. That’s why they fund medical schools to teach med students how to “manage symptoms” with drugs. It used to be that medical students were trained to treat the problem. Now they are trained to treat the symptoms with drugs. Case in point: How many people do you know who are using multiple drugs to treat symptoms and the side affects of the symptoms?
Lol
" it s not about numbers. for me it about lives". glory hallelujah........a medical professional who "gets it " God bless you

Great video! My husband has sleep apnea and silent reflux. He has now developed an awful cough so I will take the advice to gargle with salt water and get that ACV into him before meals in a glass of water. We must cut the puddings out, not eat late in the evening and I will get him some Magnesium too. I think the best vit D3 is the sun in summer but we need it in pill form in the winter too. My husband is nearly 90 but I want him to stay as healthy as possible. Wonderful help from Dr Mandel. Many, many thanks. 🙏😍

I am a Christian and would like to say I am so sorry you went through all of that. No one is perfect that why Jesus had to die for us. I think people are scared of failure and what others will think of them. God come for the broken and He uses our imperfections. I was always judged by others also. But just the other day at church the message was about broken people. I felt like God was saying you don’t need to be perfect I will use you with brokenness. I just sat and cried. Opposite of you it was someone who is not saved that unbeknownst to them always seemed to want me to do everything correct. Which in itself is not bad but if I fail I need to be encouraged not berated. I feel so free
Have you try fasting and keto diet? People talk wonders of it.

There's a homesteader on YT who had severe GERD and she said docs said they were concerned about her survival as it was that bad. She stopped eating all refined/processed foods and went all organic with most of her food coming from her own garden. Her acid completely went away and she can even eat tomatoes/tomato products from her garden without incident. Very encouraging personally as I've had GERD almost all of my life- even when I wasn't overweight and had no sleep apnea. Our food has a huge impact.
I had real bad GERD and realized that eating wheat products in the evening were the main cause for me.
I dropped the bread and cookies after the PM and it made it go away after just a few days. It was almost magical.
What's hwr page name please xxx
I have very painful endometriosis and out of desperation I tried to change my diet. About two months ago I went gluten free and drastically cut refined sugar and processed food. I used to have bad GERD and it completely disappeared. I can even eat acid foods in the evening and it's fine. My endo symptoms also improved, although I know it will take a bit longer to have a real impact. Bonus effect: I effortlessly lost 4 kilos in 2 months 😊 Food really does a huge difference
Incident! For sure.
Grocery store foods by big corp. Have bad things In them..we seriously must return to grow our own food like before.
Stop eating Fast Food!!
No processed Foods.
I had sleep apnea since my late teens, and I raced bicycles! Thin as a stick too. I woke up from surgery and noticed that my O2 saturation was 72%! 🤯
I found a doctor that prescribed a cpap machine (after TWO sleep studies), life got better quickly. I quit drinking milk 1 month ago and started drinking ACV. I'm losing the weight that I gained after several injuries, and my acid reflux is GONE. Praise the Lord Jesus!
Edit: I still use a cpap due to my deviated septum.
Did you get braces in your teens? Did they treat you for an over bite?
What is ACV reason why I am ask is because I suffer from sleep apnea too and I am try to lose weight and get rid off my acid reflux
@@annmatthews9474 Apple Cider Vinegar
You did the right thing I have sleep apnea I'm still on the machine I am losing inches more than weight I am very thankful that I have the machine and yes you did all the right things
Why, if you are "thin as a stick" are you losing weight?
I am 63, when i was in my early 20's i had this sleep apnea problem. It scared me because i was a back sleeper and i learned to sleep on my side, that made it safe for me to sleep. Forty years ago I didn't know what sleep apnea was. I will still lose the weight and follow these tips.😊
May God bless you for your expressions of love toward others😊
I have sleep apnea. I have watched and followed you for a while now. I think you're very smart. You explain health issues very well and thorough. I struggle with anxiety and eat wrong at night. I want to do like you tell us so bad! I will not give up. Keep teaching us the right stuff for our health.
I stopped night snacking a year ago. Key is NOT to buy the snacks and to only purchase healthy foods. Organic raisins and popcorn helped me transition. No crackers or chips come into my house. Gradual changes make a difference. 🙏
He suggested magnesium….it reduces anxiety too.
You are amazing Dr. Mandell, you are showing others - how a doctor should be. Showing us how to live a lifestyle that prevents us to not need medication and it give side effect on our body by everyday. I am a great follower of your videos it gives me more confident and feels great for helping people on this platform
I can say that I have sleep apnea, I was put on a breathing machine. Also have acid reflux and was put on Prilocec. I took 3months and changed my diet, drank lots of water only everyday., exercises 4 or more times a week. Long story short, I lost 30 lbs. My acid reflux stopped, I slept with out machine, and has a lot more healthly energy! I was 59yrs old at that time also. Anyone can do it! Tks Doc! Your the best!
My son in law has sleep apnea. He lost weight and changed his diet and is greatly improved.
Please share more details on this. I have it very severe.thanks
I’m in Jamaica and my sister is in England and we have just been talking sleep apnea and then you came on so I’ve sent her your video! Your kindness shows in your face thank you I’ve used your advice on so many things
Big love!! I've had the surgery, actually a butchering to no avail. CPAP machine, no dice. Now after dropping 50+ pounds, regular Vitamin D3, multi vitamins and salt water gargle..Some improvement, still lot's of damage done. Difficulty swallowing from esophagus scarring, teeth ruined from acid, heart arrhythmia condition for over 12 years. So the sleeping with back elevation, Apple cider vinegar, Magnesium and no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed. I'm adding these to my tool belt and at age 59+ and a warrior, hopefully I can live at least another decade with greater quality of life. Bipolar on top of these other things, but I'm grateful to live and learn. Thank you for your continued time and energy, I wish good health for you and all in this community. Lot's of wisdom in prevention through nature. Hopefully one day soon that will become a very relevant aspect of medical school. Love to all❤️
Sleep apnea caused me brain damage from hypoxia- please use a cpap if you can. I got used to it and it changed my life.
Also..have you tried the salt water nasal wash…?.? It gets the stuff in the back of the throat out for sure. As often as you need when the sinus accumulates and causes lots of hacking and coughing. Gargling with salt water is good but the nasal wash before that is very effective.
I've read that excess of salt It's inflammatory. Maybe you would have to reduce it
Your arrhythmia is because of sleep apnoea. Once you have that in control, everything will fall in place
The vitamin D supplements are not backed with good studies.
Thank you Dr. Mandell for sharing this information on sleep apnea! I hate so much using a cpap, I quite using my cpap after loosing 83 lbs. Dr. Still say I need to use a cpap but I totally disagree strongly! I don't stop breathing nor do I snore. I will keep watching your video. You have helped with this new info. Thank you so much!!!

Brilliant! Dr did sleep study and wanted to put me on CPAP. I sensed it had to do with my throat getting "congested" after several hours sleeping. Eventually went to a Naturopath who said it could be silent reflux. I used a slightly higher pillow and worked on digestive issues, and I don't think I'm having apnea episodes in wee hours anymore. Thanks for the helpful video!
How long did it take before your sleep improved?
@@aimeekreutzer-malkawi I'd say within 1-2 months. I should add that the ND noted I had a hiatal hernia (which was a big cause of the silent reflux) so he fixed that. The other factor which caused a thick feeling in my throat (affecting apnea) was allergies, so I tried to avoid those foods, took a supplement the ND recommended for healing the gut, and also took enzymes (adding betaine hcl once we felt the reflux was no longer an issue) to aid digestion. So it was a multi-pronged approach.
I'm completely floored and nearly in tears for learning about this and finding ways to help improve my sleep and my life. Thank you so much for offering this information freely.

P.S. My parents said that I snored like a lion ever since I was born. Almost all the neighborhood kids did from what I was told when I was a kid. All my friends did when we had sleep overs and Boy Scout camp. This includes girls too. Have a CPAP. Every time I've used it, I have gotten a horrible sinus infection-tried all cleaning methods, even a new mask right out of the wrapper-same thing & nothing gets any better. A vicious circle day after day. I've lost a total of 46 LBS in the last 6 months>lots of muscle mass. I've learned a lot from this that NONE of my Dr.s have picked up on. Outstanding video that everyone should see. Thank you. I am very very disappointed in the medical profession because most just focus on the ($)signs.
Did you use your cpap now..after looses 46 lbs weight? Because i heard after lose weight there is no need to use cpap
You are a legend Dr. Mandell, the entire world loves you, not just the US! Thank you so much!
From the Netherlands here. This is a great vid. I had all of the symptoms and was also diagnosed with H. pylori.
After a double antibiotics cure and a negative labtest afterwards the symptoms of heardburn, coughing, waking up after only few hours of sleep, were still present. Things started to change when I took and still do so, two or three times an day a spoon of apple vinegar in a glass of water. Preferably 10 minutes before a meal, but I have the idea that the timing of the intake doesn't matter too much. I also take two to four Slippery Elm capsules (2x2) that I open up and mix it with a little bit of water. I also do the gargling with salt water before sleeping and sometimes I use this Rino cup to rinse my nose with salt water. I only do this when my nose feels dry but stuffed somehow. The combination of thes simple things worked for me and made me happy again.
From all of the above, I think the apple viegar and gargling are the most effective. And sleep on your left side 80% of the time.
Good luck to all and God bless you. Thanks to dr. Alan Mandell for these wonderful videos. Great work.
Wow!!! I have sleep apnea and gerd. Last night, I saw this video and I gargled with warm salt water and propped myself up on pillows. Used my Cpap machine and for the first time in months I slept for 8 hours with 0 incidents. Thank you! Thank you!!! Now on to the next steps…to cut out the rich foods and start with the vitamins, walking after a meal. God bless!!!

Who practices Functional Med, has me on acids and bitters when eating, and a low carb diet. I’m hopeful this will improve everything for me! Thanks for all these tips.
Dr Mandell, great job with this discussion. As a registered sleep Technologist, I wanted to say that.. Can't argue with Any thing you said. Furthermore, this needs to be talked about more. Sleep apnea is the silent killer. God bless...
I have sleep problem, and acid refuse Thx for info
DEAR DR. MANDALL ! I GARGALED WITH PINK Sea SALT and APPLE CIDER VINEGAR before BED last night. 90% IMPROVEMENT - slept thru 1 AM - 7 AM - only got up 2 times to use bathroom. ! Also took Vitamin D, K and Cal / Mag./ Zinc to relax me more. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some other tips: You might work on tightening the muscles that keep your mouth closed by holding a pen between your teeth for about 10 minutes before bedtime. If your jaw starts to ache, you can easily stop.
You don’t want to do anything that is too much - this is a gradual process of training and retraining.
And there are also other simple practices you can do throughout the day like singing in the shower or singing in the car.
Singing can help increase the muscle control in the throat and soft palate and it’s simple and fun to do.
Just put on your favourite music and sing to your heart's content.
So now that you have learned some simple techniques to keep the good work going,
Imagine yourself in your sleeping sanctuary or your bedroom once again. You might see yourself taking a warm bath, reading a book, getting ready for bed or pulling down the sheets. Sometimes these nighttime rituals can be very soothing and helpful.
Now, as you climb into bed, you might smooth the sheets over your body. Go ahead and go through all the steps you would normally take before going to bed.
You might try sleeping on your side or strapping a tennis ball to the bottom of your back to enforce sleeping on your side.
And now just in case you want a few more tips, there are also some additional things you can try during your day.
For example, some people find it helpful to place the length of their tongue to the roof of their mouth holding it there for as long as they can.
You can repeat this simple practice 2-3 times a day.
You might also purse your lips just like you were about to kiss someone slowly moving them up to the right and then up to the left repeating about 10 times.
Gargling with water or placing your lips on a balloon and blowing it up can also be helpful.
And if you really feel like having some fun, you can try opening your mouth as wide as possible and then saying ah in the back of the throat for about 20 seconds.
Now while these exercises may seem simple - they can be highly effective when practised enough.
Thank you!!
This is the best info Ive ever seen regarding sleep apnea. Thank you so much. I thinking of ev er ryone I can pass this on to.
Where did you get this info from? My mouth won’t stay closed whether I sleep on side or not..I’m fighting with mouth tape every time ..lips , mouth constantly dry ..day ,night …Don’t think I have sleep apnea..
@@lizwiening3939 I’m a hypnotherapist and theatre director - I work with insomnia and sleep apnea. Obviously one size does not fit all! Some clients have managed to stop the effects happening. It can be a matter of modifying how you sleep. I also use hypnosis to suggest that they breathe in sleep I’m a modified version of their daytime breathing - as we don’t generally suffer in waking mode. Some people will end up having the operation to trim excess flesh. Some might do it through weight loss. Or utilising the tips in this video…. And there is a whole bunch of stuff surrounding before you sleep. In your case I’d say try ear nose and throat specialist to define the issue more clearly
Nice tips 👍👌
Dr. Mandell, there is not enough words to express how much I appreciate you! You have helped me so much in so many ways!! Love you and God bless you!!!
Dr. Mandell, Thank you very much. I have been identified as having sleep apnea 2 years ago. I tried the bipap equipment and couldn't adapt to the pressure levels. So I have changed my sleeping position and i use breathe right strips. These helped my oxygen levels, but i still had acid reflux. After seeing this video, it's been a month now. I have cleaned up my diet cutting out sugar and white flour. I started drinking water with Apple Cider Vinegar with water before going to sleep to reduce my acid reflux. I have lost 10 lbs. I haven't taken an antacid since. I am amazed at the improvements. I sleep longer with better quality sleep. I have a samsung watch for monitoring my sleep showing constant sleep improvements. I am 55. Thank you very much Martin.
Hi Dr Mandell my name is Marilyn Joseph and everything you're saying is true I used to suffer from sleep apnea and acid reflux I've lost a lot of weight and I don't suffer from it anymore but I suffer from gerd I saw your program with the apple cider vinegar and it's a lot better
Hello dr. Mandell from Canada. I love your clear messages and you articulate every single issue with such clarity that it is of great solace to hear you speak. You are a blessing to the youtubers who follow you. thanks for taking the time to explain. Thks for everything
Dr. Mandell, I'm really grateful to you for allowing us such fundamental informative opportunities that help us become a better version of ourselves... I got so much out of your videos... May God continue to increase and prosper you. I appreciate you so much. 🙏❤️
Thank you Dr mandell, I so love your channel, my son 6yrs old has asthma, and sleep apena, very useful info, took him off refined cabs,give cinnamon and all. Thank you from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I really appreciate your program. You really care for people because you take all this time on line to reach out to us. I am learning so much from you. I want to say Thank You. God Bless You. I have Sleep Apnea.
I truely thank God for you ,God will reward you in Heaven ,for helping his people ,some destroy but you really help us .May God continue to bless you forever. and Bless your Family .
Amen🙌🏼
I practice two meals per day and I always drink a glass of acv or lemon or lime water 30 minutes before my meals. This really helps with reflux and general digestion.
And when doing the 2 meals do you stay within 8 hrs or the 2 meals. And fast tge rest? I heard it Helps for autoimmune.
Sry for typo. Apologies.
@@thisthatandthose I eat 2 big meals at 10am and 2pm each day. Cup of tea at sunset.
Truth!!!
I take omeprozole for acid reflux. It helps that tremendously. But doesn't help my sleep apnea.
Thank you so much dear Dr Mandell. You are a so so knowlegable & lovely person.
Love you,
God bless you
after 13 months of Keto and losing over 47 lbs, I tossed my CPAP and can sleep without the mask and have dreams as well, indicating deep REM sleep. Such a liberation to finally lose the weight and as this video points out, key to reducing your apnea issues! thanks! Snore - Less here in Oregon
That's great, well done and thanks for sharing.
Congratulations!❤
Keto is helping me too
Keto is terrible long-term. Yes, you will lose a lot of weight on low carb, but you’re also affecting your body’s ability to tolerate carbs, which are essential. It’s not sustainable for the majority of people. When you start eating carbs again, you’ll not only gain all the weight back, but your blood sugar regulation will be worse than before. Most of the purported benefits of keto are purely a result of cutting out the majority of processed foods. The same “miracle” cures are reported with other restrictive diets. The key is to add more good foods such as fermented foods, the right herbs, etc. The more you add good foods, the less processed foods you crave. Much more effective long term, with the added bonus of not having the common drawbacks associated with restrictive diets. There are plenty of cultures (including all the blue zones where people live past 100) where people eat high carb diets and are extremely healthy. But they move a lot. They do a lot of walking. Lots and lots of walking. Daily walking and drinking enough water are the most effective things one can do for their health, but most people don’t want to do this.
@@Love-eg2vf Clean Keto does that.
My boyfriend has this very badly! Thank you SO MUCH for always going the extra mile Dr!
Thank you soooo much Dr. Mandell ❤❤❤You don't know how much you bless us!
Thank you for this.
I stopped acid blockers because they were causing more symptoms and physical challenges.
I do intermittent fasting and have reduced my mass. I have betaine hydrochloride with my meals and drink lemon in my water. I will add the salt water gargling and vitamin C, to see what else I can improve.
The 6-inch wedge pillow has done more good for me than any CPAP machine I’ve used.
I don’t sleep through the night, but I have increased the uninterrupted hours of sleep.
Thank you for this topic.
Blessings!
Where did you get your wedge pillow?
@@Ben77788
I’m in Canada. We have foam stores where I purchased mine. My store is called The Foam Shop. There might be something similar where you live.
Blessings!
I love you are a ray of sunshine and hope 😊in my lift most every day. Thank you and God Bless.
You are a gift, Dr. Mandell! Thank you for walking out your mission. This video has helped me a lot. God bless you!
I watched this two years ago. It popped up and i totally needed this reminder. TY!
My silent reflux was causing chronic bronchitis (14 months on antibiotics!). I lost 5 kg, changed to high vegetable and colour fruits, cut out processed foods. I made smoothies AND I added slippery elm powder to the smoothies. The bronchitis has now gone
I sleep better now.
@user-mb8vv1vx5u: Couldnt agree w/ you more regarding the Slippery Elm!!! SLippery Elm is great for any bodily inflammation. Been using for yrs mostly for Crohn's Disease, IBS. Soothes my gut. I like to make a tea w/ it. How do you use it & in what form do you buy it? 🤔. 😊 From NYC . I too have silent Reflux & a hiatal hernia that makes life pretty damn miserable when I eat.
We have to watch using supplements.. sometimes it has an effect on the medicine's we take. Check with your pharmacist first, before taking any supplement's when taking medicine's of any type!

Yes, alternatives to medicine can have negative interactions. Thank you for pointing this out.
Ty so much dr! I had sleep apnea. I also ground my teeth at night & seriously damaged them. I then got a cpap machine & used it for 20 years. It saved my life. I was 42 yo when I started. I stopped using it at 62 yo, but it had already ruined my marriage. I also developed t2 diabetes in 2011 which I have since reversed. There are lots of bad habits to get rid of. For me the cure was inter alia: (1) lose weight. I did it by 8/16 intermittent fasting. (Ty dr. Jason Fung) This is also a huge benefit for t2d. I am now eating mostly 1 meal a day. (2) a daily juice of 2 carrots, 1 apple, 1 lemon & a big piece of ginger. (Lots of vit c) You will notice a difference after a few weeks. (3) exercise! Bike to work or walk there if you can. Go to the gym. Start swimming again. Play ping pong. (4) smoking & alcohol. Stop smoking! Easy to say, but I stopped after 35 years. Alcohol is difficult to give up but try to limit it to once or twice a week. (5) supplements & vitamins. We're all short of the key nutrients we need to build new cells. Wishing u all health, pesce & love 🙏
Thank you Dr Mandell, the easier breathing exercise really helps, I do it daily to prevent anxiety and it helps me, God bless you and your family.
This doctor is amazing
You know I really appreciate to be honest all of the symptoms that you've described or what I've been dealing with and I believe I was misdiagnosed with sleep apnea. For a while the CPAP seem to work but now as time goes I realize that it's not what they said. Thank you so much for what you do I appreciate what you've done for me!
This talk has really made me think. I am always clearing my throat using lozengers and struggling to breath when I wake up. As I've said in a previous post I'm waiting for my machine. Can't thank you enough for your advice. Good health to you all.
Doc your timing is phenomenal.... Thank you love from Greece 🙏🇬🇷
I’ve had two sleep studies done and each time, they tell me I had four episodes during the night and it takes five to be sleep apnea. I live alone and it’s scary. Lately, I’m falling asleep at work, depressed, have gained weight, my BP has been up despite my meds for the past couple of months, and I wake up during the night trying to catch my breath. I wake up with headaches and it takes a moment for my breathing to get to normal, once awake and walking around. I recently started a 14 day no meat, dairy, bread, sodas, etc. Week one, I’ve lost five pounds, more energy but still unable to focus and falling to sleep at work. I appreciate Dr. Mandell and I appreciate the work he’s doing.
Don't worry! That is normal, so you don't have sleep apnea. 😊 I have severe sleep apnea, 37 episodes per hour, and each episode is at least one minute. 🥺 If I worried about it I would make myself very sick. It's better to take care of your diet and body and enjoy life. Well done for your efforts!!! 👏👏👏
@@lottat6420 Thanks for sharing. During the three week detox, I lost 14 pounds. My sleeping and BP is much better. Wow, I’m praying that your condition gets better. Thanks for the encouragement 💛
@@lottat6420 hope u r in a better health and activity
@@lottat6420 hi are you on a C pap?
There are two types of sleep apnea, one is congestive, where your breath is being restricted. The other is neurological, like I have, where you just exhale and don't breathe again until you're so oxygen deprived that you wake up gasping for air. Dr Berg says, if it's neurological, B-1 ( thiamine ) may help. I've been taking B1 and my episodes went from 18 to 6 per hour.
Omg.. this is so me. I have sleep apnea and i now know i have silent reflux. Thank you so very much. You've helped me.
Doing salt water gargles every night will also help us prevent other infections on top of the benefit for sleep apnea. Thank you!
Do you know if the salt water gargle could have any adverse effects?
@@heartscontent to be honest, I haven’t experienced any adverse effects.
@@heartscontent Just try not to swallow any, as salt can obviously increase your blood pressure, as well as make you bloat.
Gargling resets the Vagus Nerve.
Yep I have experienced the same as what 2 other viewers have reported.......just after praying for help, I am led to Dr. Mandel channel. All his other advice which I followed, help e.g. excercises , facial massage. 😊
I am a great fan of yours. I will fwd this to my sister's son in Ottawa. He has Sleep apnai for yrs now. I hope he will follow your advice and her relief . God bless you always Ameen I am from Karachi, Pakistan. I will be 80yrs in June this yr God willing Ameen
You’re the best! 🧡. Blessings to you.
I am now learning about sleep apnea. My wife says its frightening to see me stop breathing. Your insights is educational and looking forward to trying your methods
Blessings upon blessings to you Sir. Thank you for all that you do to help the multitude.
God bless you sweet Dr. Mandell! So so helpful. Thanks much!
Bless you richly dr. Mandrels am slowing trying to implement the things you are talking about taking medicine for 20 years for diabetes is not good especially metaphormin it has cause so many side effects I just keep working on it I think the body takes a long time to detox!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
You are amazing. Your ear exercises decrease the anxiety in my body in minutes. Thank you for what you do!!
I'm glad I saw this program because in the past two week I've had been under stress and get nose drips and three times waking up choking. I know it's sinus with acid reflex. Thank you. It's a good thing I take vit D for my bones.
Jan 2022 weighting 182lbs, i started dieting. My goal was 155lbs which I reached early May 2022. Had been on a Cpap machine/mask about 30 months at the time. Long story short made an appointment with my Apnea therapist in August and she bolted in the exam room all excited, showing me my apnea was gone. No more Cpap machine needed for me!
What was your Ahi when you diagnosed?
Respirtory Event Index (Ahi) was 25.8/hour when first tested. my min oxygen saturation was 71% and Avg oxygen saturation of 92%,
Your lucky. I weigh 140 and im 5 ft 5
28 years male and some nights my ahi is 15 to 20s the first hour or so it keeps me from falling asleep because I'm gasping. But then 2 or three hours goes by and i eventually fall asleep and my ahi is around 2 or so
Doc I've been challenged with Apnea for over 20 years. There is so much truth to what you say, I lost 30 pounds years ago and the sleep study revealed, I no longer needed the CPAP. Thank you for all you do, God bless you One Hundred fold.
How did you lose the weight can you tell me it would really help
Eating properly, drinking a lot of water, and working out consistently.. you can do it....I am 190 all muscle, but I still have sleep apnea...
@@oneilfarquharson-ifearthel3253 Do you use CPAP or any other machine or medicine? I love Jesus and my hope is in Him
I like this video. I haven't been to a doctor in, maybe, 16 years or more. I believe in self-help and have been this way most of my life. Your "free" information is fantastic. Thank you so much.
Thanks Dr. Mandel The Lord bless you and keep you for His good work.
Love Dr. Mandell, helping us everyday to stay healthy
