Sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, and intermittent
hypoxia have been identified and linked in latest research to
almost all major fatal medical conditions, from heart attack,
stroke, diabetes, COPD cancer, and major depressive disorders.
Current main-stream treatment options are unsatisfactory, and
the entire world is looking for a better or best solution.
This market is one of the most explosive and largely untapped
markets.
SleepApneaUSA.net, founded by Dr. Jin Zhou, relied upon
the latest research and clinically developed ZHT - Zhou's
Hypoxicology Therapy to discover a possible cure for sleep apnea
and provide an alternative care to those who can't tolerate
CPAP,"sleeping mask". |

We are looking for
visionary investors, strategic partners, business alliance and
concerned healthcare providers to advance our goals, to find and
provide with possible cure for sleep apnea, and its related
major fatal medical conditions.
This web site is
mainly for visionary investors, strategic business partners and
concerned healthcare providers. |

"Causes of death
The
15 leading causes (table B) remainedthe same for 2002
and 2003 except that Assault (homicide)dropped out of the
15 leading causes in 2003 and Parkinson’s disease entered
the list as the 14th leading cause. The 15 leading causes
of death in 2003 were as follows:
1) Diseases of heart;
2) Malignant neoplasms;
3) Cerebrovascular diseases;
4) Chronic lower respiratory diseases;
5) Accidents (unintentional injuries);
6) Diabetes mellitus;
7) Influenza and pneumonia;
8) Alzheimer’s disease;
9) Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis;
10) Septicemia;
11) Intentional self-harm (suicide);
12) Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis;
13) Essential (primary) hypertension and hypertensive
renal disease;
14) Parkinson’s disease;
15) Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids."

| ZHT's Possible
Applications and Research:
The following are just a few possible clinical
applications for ZHT Clinical Benefits. The list could go on for
more, but these would serve a basic over views of ZHT Future.
What is ZHT?
Zhou’s Hypoxicology
Therapy (ZHT) was pioneered/developed by Dr. Jin
Zhou, DC, in late 2004. It is a new medical clinical concept of etiology, pathophysiology and clinical therapy, which identifies Trachea Caudal
Displacement (TCD) & Vocal Cord dysfunction (VCD) induced chronic
intermittent hypoxia through Silent Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (SUARS)
and Frequent & Recurrent Upper Airway Collapse Syndrome (FRUACS) or
sleep-disordered breathing, as well as
nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux (NGER) as a new fundamental physio-pathological
mechanism, as one of the main causes, for mild to moderate but
prolonged hypoxia for most illness & diseases for worldwide mortality
and disability, from pain & arthritis, heart attack, hypertension,
diabetes, anxiety & depression to almost every illness & diseases.

"CONCLUSIONS:
The risk of MVCs due to OSA is removed
when patients are treated with CPAP. As such, any
restrictions on driving because of OSA could be safely removed
after treatment." |
