FOREWORD |

PART-A
Scientists from Karolinska Institute, Sweden (a
research-led medical university in Solna within the
Stockholm urban area of Sweden) published a paper in
Dec 2009 in the British Medical Journal, concluding
and revealing the scientific fact that weight loss
can definitely help cure moderate sleep apnea and
severe sleep apnea.
American researchers from
Obesity Research and Education,
Temple University School of
Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA published
several papers in DiabetesCare, JAMA Internal
Medicine (a
monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published by
the American Medical Association), and in other
medical journals
revealing the fact that there
is a strong association among the conditions
obesity, type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea.
Many obese people with type 2 diabetes were
diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Several
randomized studies conducted by researchers
indicated that weight loss significantly lowered the
Desaturation Index (number of sleep apnea events per
hour) in obese people and so it is possible to
reverse obstructive sleep apnea by losing weight.
This book “Reversing Sleep Apnea authored by Dr. RK”
provides the very practical proof that sleep apnea
can be reversed by losing weight. Dr. RK provided
all the real-time data on how he successfully
reversed his obstructive sleep apnea. He reported
that his Desaturation Index dropped from 28
events/hr to 0.6 event/hour when he lost 40 pounds
of his body weight, and when he lowered his body
mass index (BMI) to perfectly normal.
If you have any physical obstruction or blockage in
your throat, nose or mouth, it is not possible to
fully reverse your sleep apnea. However, depending
on how much excess body weight you have, you can
always improve your Desaturation Index (number of
sleep apnea events/hour) and mean SpO2
(percentage saturation of oxygen in the blood) by
losing weight. By improving the Desaturation Index
and mean SpO2, a sleep apnea patient can
feel a lot better. If you developed obstruction
sleep apnea, caused due to excessive weight gain,
you can fully reverse your sleep apnea and lower
your Desaturation Index to perfectly normal by
losing all that excess body weight. There are many
scientific papers with randomized studies revealing
this fact. This book discusses about those
scientific publications.
This is the only book that has everything a sleep
apnea patient needs to learn and gain concept
regarding this dangerous sleep disorder. This book
is very resourceful and so every sleep apnea patient
should benefit from it by reading and understanding
all the therapies so nicely explained. One of those
therapies could suit your disorder and could free
you from sleep apnea, or improve your sleep
disorder. You need to try and stick to the therapy
that suits your body and your sleep disorder.
PART-B
If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep
apnea, whether severe, moderate or mild, it is a
life challenge to deal with and battle with because
of the careless and unhealthy living habits you have
adopted. You have been eating out way too often, not
exercising enough, and have been adding pounds to
your weight. Obesity is the major cause of
obstructive sleep apnea. It is your responsibility
to accept the challenge and take quick action
against this sleep disorder you have developed.
With determination and steadfastness, you can not
only improve your condition, but also strengthen
your ability to respond to your body’s functionality
and lead a much better life. You should always
remember that knowledge is the power, so you must
equip your mind with a deep understanding of sleep
apnea by collecting as much information as possible,
and by reading and researching a lot. Get ready to
battle.
Your biggest decision is your commitment in setting
a goal with an objective, focusing on your goal and
staying focused until you fully manifest your goal.
Motivation, commitment, a strong desire to succeed,
self-discipline and high willpower are the essential
qualities you need to implement on yourself to be
successful. By awakening the giant within yourself,
you can become a sleep apnea guru.
You will go on CPAP therapy.
CPAP means “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure,”
which further means that the CPAP machine helps maintain
continuous, positive, very low and comfortable pressure in the
airway of your throat, and keeps the airway open all
the time whenever you sleep with it. As long as you wear the CPAP machine during the night while sleeping, the
CPAP machine kills most apneas and hypopneas, and
keeps your AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) perfectly
normal. As the airway remains always open,
sufficient amount of air passes into the lungs
freely, and maintains normal blood oxygen levels
(Normal SpO2 = 96% to 99%) all the time during sleep. You
wake up in the morning satisfied with your sleep and
completely refreshed. You would not experience the
symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, such as
tiredness with low energy, when you wake up in the
morning. As you sleep all the night with perfectly
normal SpO2 levels, your overall health improves. If
you take appropriate steps to lose weight, your
sleep apnea will be progressively healed.
You will love learning and mastering the concept of
eating whole foods only and avoiding processed and
refined foods. You will become an active member of a
local gym, and start exercising every day. It is
very likely that you will lose some weight naturally
without ever using drugs or hunger suppressants
prescribed by your doctor. Even some 10 to 20 pounds
of weight loss would have a significant impact on
your obstructive sleep apnea progress. The number of
sleep apnea events per hour during your sleep would
significantly decline, switching you from severe to
moderate or from moderate to mild sleep apnea, and
allowing you to feel a lot better than you have ever
felt since your diagnosis.
However a substantial weight loss that lowers your
Body Mass Index (BMI) to perfectly normal (18.5 to
24.9 Kg/m 2) would completely wipe out
obstructive sleep apnea from your body. This is a
proven fact, believe it or not. You will be amazed
to witness your own breathtaking performance and
live with a joyous feeling as your overnight pulse
oximetry tests would reveal that your obstructive
sleep apnea has just been reversed, and that you are
free. You would declare yourself a proud winner in
the battle against obstructive sleep apnea. Many
surrounding people would be intimidated, become
envious and a few even surprised.
You would no longer be sleeping with the CPAP
machine. You could pack your CPAP machine and
accessories in a bag and leave it in your closet or
even sell it off on Craigslist. This is what exactly
happened to Dr. RK who wrote the book “Reversing
Sleep Apnea.”

Scientific Proof Exists on Reversing Obstructive Sleep Apnea!
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021
Verified Purchase
This inspirational guidebook
provides us with the scientific proof that exists to reverse
sleep apnea. There are scientific journal publications
revealing the fact that sleep apnea can be reversed by losing
weight. Whether you are obese or overweight and diagnosed with
sleep apnea, you must refer to this book and I bet you will
certainly get inspired and benefited!
Dr. Gary Foster, a clinical psychologist and obesity
investigator, the former founder and director of the Center for
Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA where he was the Professor of
Medicine, Public Health and Psychology, published several
research papers confirming that the symptoms of obstructive
sleep apnea and the desaturation index (defined as the number of
sleep apnea events or episodes per hour) can significantly be
reduced among obese people by losing at least 10% of the body
weight. The more weight a sleep apnea patient loses, the more
effective and successful the reversal of obstructive sleep apnea
could be.
Dr. Erik Hemmingsson and Dr. Kari Johansson along with their
fellow-researchers of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden published
a paper in December 2009 in the British Medical Journal,
concluding that weight loss can definitely help cure moderate
sleep apnea and severe sleep apnea.
Dr. RK in this book “Reversing
Sleep Apnea: Proof that sleep Apnea Can be Reversed By Losing
Weight” provides us with the real time data of his weight loss
results and the procedures he developed and adopted on how to
lose weight fast and how to reverse sleep apnea by losing
weight. When he lost 40 pounds of his body weight, his body mass
index (BMI) was calculated to be perfectly normal. He reported
that when his body resumed perfectly normal weight, his
obstructive sleep apnea and other health disorders disappeared
once and for all.

Comprehensive All-In-One Sleep Apnea Guide!
Reviewed in the United States on
June 13, 2021

This book is awesome, well-organized, well-written, and filled
with interesting facts, anecdotes and worth-reading quotes and
paragraphs. Given below is a worth-reading paragraph:
Obesity is the major cause of obstructive sleep apnea. When a
person is overweight or obese, the fat cells infiltrate the neck
and throat tissues so they lose firmness and are more likely to
collapse on to the upper airway of the throat, thereby blocking
the airway. At the same time, the neck and chin become enlarged
and the airway becomes narrower. Too much weight gain also
compresses the chest and makes it difficult to inhale deeply and
freely. Sleep apnea statistics indicate that not only can
obesity cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) can also worsen obesity. Disrupted sleep due to
apneas causes the ghrelin level to go up, and leptin level to go
down. Leptin produces the feeling of satiety whereas ghrelin has
the opposite effect. When this happens, low leptin levels make
you eat more and as a result you gain weight. Weight gain and
obstructive sleep apnea go hand in hand.
If you are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea as a result of
severe weight gain, this book can save your life, and help you
reverse your obstructive sleep apnea in a matter of months if
not years.
Prescribe this book to your sleep apnea doctor, and tell your
doctor to read this book before he prescribes you and puts you
on CPAP therapy for decades, or until the end of your life. |

Your Oxygen Desaturation Index Using This Book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book has many treatment methods to relieve and reverse
obstructive sleep apnea, very beautifully explained in a very
convincing way with scientific details. Doctors don’t teach you
how to lower your Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), but this is
the only book that shows you everything about improving and
reversing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Many people with type 2 diabetes are also likely to develop
sleep apnea, and the sleep apnea disease over time can lead to
type 2 diabetes. I have lowered my Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)
at least by 10 points by losing excess body weight exactly as
recommended in this book. This book is packed with colossal sums
of information to understand the fundamentals of sleep apnea
topic, and is quite accommodating, impressive and enjoyable. I
enjoyed the writer's methodology, well-researched and blended
with knowledgeable information in every chapter. Everything in
this book unquestionably makes sense and I found it useful in
all respects. I realized that this book indeed would be helpful
in every possible way to improve and reverse sleep apnea.
