"When I began seeing Dr. Schmidt in the summer of 2009 I was a compliant CPAP user with moderate to severe sleep apnea, diagnosed in 2007. I lost 70 pounds and when I went back for a follow up visit with my MD, she was pleased with my progress; however, I still was going to need the CPAP because weight is only a part of the problem. They now know that when weight is out of the equation, it is a neurological function or malfunction, a miscommunication between the heart and brain. The only thing that can be done is control the symptoms by using the CPAP. Later that week, Dr. Schmidt gave a talk at our office and he talked about sleep apnea and he said the same thing only he offered hope for improvement and possibly eliminating the need for my CPAP.

 
In May 2009, I had a sleep study and without my CPAP I had 16 episodes of not breathing. I began treatment with Dr. Schmidt in July of 2009 with my interest in shedding my CPAP. With the use of his recommended nutritional supplements over the course of the next several months I showed continued improvement. Energy level was great and I found myself not using the CPAP as regularly and without symptoms.
 

 
I look forward to continued improvement and good health!
 
Thank you Dr. Schmidt and everyone at NHCAA!"
