Hi...Thanks to all who have posted so far on this thread. I would really appreciate hearing more (regarding results, specifically) from anyone who is using this device currently. Thanks!

Hello all. Another update regarding essential oils. I have been having him diffuse EVERY night (either "Breathe" or "On Guard" -one is a proprietary blend of eucalyptus/melaluca the other is an anti-bacterial). In addition, he will inhale the oils in a cup of steaming water and / or rub on his...

Hello all. I just wanted to give a quick update on how things have been going for my son (17 years old) since we started using the oils about a month ago. We diffuse either 'Breathe' (which is a proprietary blend of eucalyptus, melaluca, peppermint and a couple others) or 'On Guard' which is...

Epona, Thanks again. I appreciate your response. Sorry to appear so dense, but I looked online for saline and found several different items (of course). Would something like this be what I'm after: Product Description : Saline,Package Type Bottle,Size 500mL,Formula 0.9 Percent Saline...

Epona, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to research, experiment and then report with such clear, concise language. I am so thankful, and so hopeful. One quick question for you, (or for anyone else who might know). You mentioned that you don't use the hypersaline, but rather regular...

I wasn't aware of the classificaitons, either. I found a very helpful 'table' that laid it out in terms even I could understand :-) Here you go: http://respiratory-research.com/content/11/1/140/table/T1 Unfortunately, my son's mutations are class 1 and class 2. Sounds like we may be a ways...

Epona, THANK YOU so much for this great information. I just started my son on essential oils 3 days ago (diffusing and topical). We have used mostly eucalyptus and melaluca, as well as a couple of proprietary blends. I have been trying to find some information on whether or not it's safe to...

Thanks, again, all of you who have posted on this thread re: essential oils. I have ordered the diffuser recommended by TheSaltyOne, as well as a few oils specifically recommended for pulmonary / respiratory function. My son is just starting to come down with a dreadful cough (again -...

Thanks, all of you who have posted, with your essential oil results. Have any of you heard of, or tried the brand 'do-TERRA'? I am ready to give this a whirl, for my kid - and was all set to try the do-TERRA. Maybe I'll do a bit of research on the YL brand first, though. Again - THANKS for...
