Medical Expertise of the inhaler set called the Saltpipe

The inspection of the instrument requested by: B.B. System Kereskedelmi és Szolgáltató Kft.
(B.B. System Ltd. For Commerce and Services )
1146 Budapest, Francia út 57/c. (repr.: Békefi Imre)
The date of arrival of the instrument to our institute: 01. 09. 2002.

Description of the instrument: A ceramic container, filled with a mixture of special salt crystals and minerals

Application of the instrument: Setting it in the way of the inhaled air it helps the easier penetrability of the upper respiratory tructs with a special inhaling opportunity

The basics of the functioning of the instrument:

Inhalation is a special method for the local treatment of respiratory illnesses. The advantages of the inhalational method are:
- Local effect
- Higher salt concentration in the upper tructs
- Fast results
- The systematic effect is lower than in case of medication implied orally or injected
- The instrument employs only fully natural resources

The obtainable physiological effects are:

- Mucolysis
- Secretolysis
- Eventually: bronchospasmolysis
- In case of special material (minerals) antiphlogisticus effect

Indications of the application:

For the cronic illnesses of respiratory tructs (asthma, bronchiale), and for different forms of allergic rhinitis

In case of long term application of the set the vital capacity intensifies and subjectively, it provides an improved general state of health

In our institute we tested the instrument on the following group of illnesses:
- cronic upper respiratory catarrhs
- cronic respiratory illnesses (asthma, bronchiale) in acute and severe phase

Our Experiences:

For the proper way of application the user must be trained and the process must be controlled, monitored later on. With the remission of the patien's condition an individual dose must be defined with other expression: the duration of application must be determined.
The hypocamnia, caused by the forced - too hard - inhalation must be avoided so the aquirement of the proper technique is essential. In order to avoid contamination, and in order to keep the instrument clean, only one patient should use one set.
During the application of the instrument we did not change the dosage of the patients.
The voluntarily involved patients we randomly divided into the "treatment" and the "control" groups. The "treatment" patients used the instument several times a day for a determined period of time. Weekly and after two months we examined the patients - with attention to iron-and vitalcapacity. Observations:The application of the Saltpipe is effective even in case of cronic upper respiratory illnesses, but in these cases there was a need for medicinary supplementation also.

In case of the cronic illnesses, the patients reported about a subjectively easier breathing and inspirational experiences, which was officially confirmed by objective vitalcapacity measurements.
Based on the above mentioned statements, the outcome of the adjuvant application of the instrument has proven to be EFFECTIVE in many of the cases.
During the test period no side effects have been observed.

Accordingly:

I suggest the application of the "Saltpipe" instrument as a complementive, supportive method with the following completion:
It must be distributed with a suitably informative and ethic description for users, which does not deceive the user and does not make him or her abandon the previously used traditional medicaments and treatment.
