The I Hate CPAP Marketing Network
Both webinars will be moderated by Dr. Ira Shapira, the founder of the I Hate CPAP Marketing Network. Today, over 10,000 unique visitors each month are drawn to www.IHateCPAP.com. Why? Patients want to learn about alternatives to CPAP and find dentists to treat their snoring and sleep apnea.
That's why doctors from around North America and the United Kingdom are members of the program. They have found this Marketing Network to be a great way to grow a sleep medicine business, generate more neuromuscular and reconstructive cases and help save lives.
To learn about the three levels of membership, contact Ken@SaundersonMarketingGroup.com or call (206) 282-6858
"Only about 50% of the people prescribed CPAP use it regularly, because they can't tolerate the noise, the hose and the mask. So they stop using their CPAP and that decision could kill them," said Dr. Ira Shapira. "Patients coming to our website want a safe, effective and easy to use treatment for their snoring and sleep apnea."
Dr. Shapira noted that dentists are participating in the membership program because it "has proven to be at tremendous way to reach snoring and sleep apnea sufferers, the majority of whom have already been tested. Participating dentists also know the campaign is a great way to generate more neuromuscular and reconstructive cases."
Oral appliance therapy is much better tolerated by patients and treatment compliance is estimated at 90-95%, according to the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. "Oral appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea offer patients a treatment option that is safe, effective and easy to use," according to the National Sleep Foundation. Oral appliances are also approved by the FDA and health insurance usually covers treatment for apnea and other sleep disorders, according to a recent Washington Post story.
The www.IHateCPAP.com website conveniently connects patients with a select group of health professionals who are highly trained in treating OSA and a wide variety of sleep disorders.
"Our website provides patients with a solution to get tested get treated and get the freedom to sleep better," said Dr. Shapira.
Dr. Shapira points out that the online site and marketing program does not 'hate' CPAP, however many patients do which is why the site and program's name attracts thousands of patients and family members in search of a CPAP alternatives that can improve their sleep, health and prolong their lives.

Fatal Accident in Texas Upper Panhandle Involving Tanker Truck
2013-03-18
It doesn't appear to be the tanker driver's fault - which is probably what many Texans assumed was the case, given the heavy commercial trucking activity due to hydraulic fracturing in Texas.
What happened was the 16-year-old driver of a SUV ran a stop sign, as Ben Brumfield reports for CNN. All five teens in the SUV lost their lives in the accident.
'Scorched' Earth
Brumfield describes the site of the collision in harsh terms: "scorched" earth and "charred debris" at an intersection in Dumas, Texas. Dumas is a relatively small town in Moore ...

2013-03-18
Patients tend to treat their physicians with reverence. This sometimes means patients get tongue-tied or forget that their thoughts and opinions are important. When it comes to health issues, patients need to be as informed as possible, which means they have to ask questions to ensure they understand what a physician is suggesting as a course of treatment, whether it's medication, a test or a procedure. Not knowing could lead to dire consequences.
Here is a list of 10 tips that will keep a patient informed regarding their treatment, and on the lookout of any possible ...

This article might be about the trouble with polygraphs inside the Chicago police department, but the lessons learned apply to anyone charged with a crime in the U.S. The state in which we defend people charged with crimes (Texas) is one with severe punishment - and if you've been accused of committing a violent crime or any other crime, you better make sure the police are following the rules.
Because when they don't, the consequences can mean a wrongful conviction.

Why Pregnant Mothers Should Wear Their Seat Belts
2013-03-18
If you think that your baby is safer by not wearing a seat belt, think again.
According to Kerry Grens's Reuters report, a new study shows that more fetuses die when their mothers aren't wearing seat belts in a car wreck than mothers who are buckled.
A 3.5 Percent vs. 25 Percent Difference
Of course, everyone needs to decide for themselves whether or not they'll wear a seat belt. Grens quotes the study's senior author, Dr. Haywood Brown, of Duke University Medical Center: "[L]ike all individuals, some choose and some do not choose to wear their seat belt."

Work of Fiction - ATRA's So-Called "Judicial Hellhole" Report Has No Basis in Fact
2013-03-18
Over the last few weeks, much has been written and said about MTV's new reality show Buckwild and its negative depiction of West Virginia and the people who live here. Everyone from elected officials to business leaders to people you meet on the street are furious about how they believe the program will mislead the country about life in the Mountain State.
I have just one question: Where is this same sustained outrage over the American Tort Reform Association calling our state a "hellhole" for a decade now? Just like this MTV program, ATRA's so-called "Judicial ...
