Why Doesn’t CPAP Reduce Heart Disease?

Because it’s too busy giving people lung infections..............

Lung infections come from improperly cleaned or maintained CPAP machine and failure to change out the water in the humidifier.

I clean and maintain mine regularly (change the water, use distilled water, clean everything, etc) and have not had a single lung infection. Starting Vitamin D four years ago helped a lot, too.

I'm an RRT, CPFT, and some other letters.....FWIW.

Most home CPAP/BIPAP people on these machines don't clean them regularly,,,

One of the reasons is Obesity....and they are not able to clean their machines..properly.

FWIW
