In the Summer/Fall 2016 issue of Colorado Summit there is an interesting article entitled “Home Remedy” by Ted Katauskas. A company, called Altitude Control Technologies, in Denver can install an air separator that continuously controls the amount of oxygen in a room based on barometric pressure and people entering and exiting that room. So far, these devices have been used commercially and are now beginning to be used in high-priced dream homes. There are medical implications of this technology for possible treatment of high altitude illnesses such as hypoxia or HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema). For children, the implications would be adequate perfusion of oxygen to the organs to carry out life’s functions and promote healthy growth. Imagine being able to treat hypoxia in the home by simply the push of a button. Currently, this technology is very expensive. It does beg the question, could an air separator be subsidized by insurance, or added into the construction of a new home? Certainly, this technology holds promise for possible future treatment.

very interesting! Thanks Joe. Our future in the mountains will be very different with this technology
After was running around from doctor to doctor before we finally get rid of her PD ,at age 74 my mother noticed that her handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster as well. She also noticed a small tremor in her left hand. The doctor went over her different symptoms and he suspected she either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson ‘s disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing she was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 3 years ago. She take Sinimet four times a day to control the symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,This year, our family doctor started her on totalcureherbsfoundation com PD Herbal mixture, over 3 months into treatment she improved me dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control.
