On his radio show April 18, Dennis Prager said: “In my career of 30 years as a broadcaster, I’ve only had one physician on repeatedly. I had to have experience with that person and have a dramatic improvement in my health.”
“I’ve had guidance in heart matters from a brilliant cardiac surgeon, Michael Richman.”
“Dr Avi Avishaaya has had an impact on my life so extraordinary that I asked him to come on.”
“People laugh at it [sleep apnea]. Oh, so I snore… The issue is that you are affected by the oxygen that goes to your brain. You wake up constantly.”
“I realized something was happening when I, who have a massive amount of energy, my eyes were starting to shut while I was driving. I realized something was awry here. I knew it had something to do with this.”
“I took Dr. Avishaaya’s test at home. I’d already done it at some other place. They gave me a CPAP machine. I thought I was being water-boarded. I took the machine off and left the place at 4 a.m. I said I’d rather have sleep apnea than this torture device.”
“This man has invented a device that is effortless. The moment I put it on, I felt terrific because it [Auto Titration CPAP machine] works according to your own breathing. And now I sleep like a baby.”
“I’d gasp for air 71 times an hour. The test is at home. This is another genius thing this man has invented.”
“Wherever I go in the world, a few weeks ago I went to Australia, and I did it on the airplane. I plugged it in.”
“I never yawn now and I only get five-and-a-half hours to six hours sleep.”
“I kept waking up at night but now I never wake up.”
“I don’t easily get scared. This is worth worrying about. I can’t use a regular CPAP machine. I was even thinking of jaw surgery.”
“The quality of your life changes. People wake up so often because they can’t breathe right.”
“I use this thing every night. The first night I had this thing on my nose, I was so quiet, my wife got up in the middle of the night… and she bent over to see if I was living. Happily, she would sleep through my breathing obstructions and snoring, but if she got up, she heard it.”
“Dr, what causes this?”
Dr: “About 70-80% of patients with sleep apnea are obese.”
“Your airway get constricted so that your throat gets constricted as you gain weight.”
Dennis: “My bad luck. I’m not obese and I still got it.”
“It didn’t affect my work but it did affect times of non-work and when I started to see my eyes closing while driving, obviously nothing happened, I would catch myself, luckily I knew of this man, I took the home test, and he solved it in one night.”
