As cultural differences break down, Robins believes people are becoming more accepting of alternaâ€" tive ideas and as such are embracing TM more and more. Now more mainstream than ever, Robins says TM is no longer a fringe the idea it involves undue exertion. "‘TM is the number one antidote to stress available today. A technique for alleviating human stress like no other," maintains Robins. "Effort is completely erroneous to the practice. You don‘t even have to believe it‘s going to work and it works." Without divulging any trade secrets (Robins‘ course costs $1,000 a pop) he explained that TM achieves a "very deep state of silence" in which all parts of the brain become "vastly alive."

The problem is more frequent in males and the overweight, and worsens with age. What Are The Existing Treatments For Snoring? Snoring ‘cures‘ vary widely, ranging from sewing a tennis ball into a snorer‘s pajama back to electric shock mechanisms that give the snorer an unpleasant jolt. Most of these remedies and devices are based upon some sort of sleep behavior modification, with the presumption that a person can be trained or conditioned not to snore. Unfortunately, the snorer has no control over snoring whatsoever, and if these devices do work, it is probably because they keep the snorer awake. What Causes Snoring? Modern medical science has discovered that snoring is often related to physical obstructive breathing during sleep. This physical obstruction occurs when the muscles of the palate, the uvula, and sometimes the tonsils relax during deep sleep, and act as vibrating noiseâ€"makers when the air. of breathing moves across them. Excessive bulkiness of tissue in the back of the throat as it narrows into the airway can also contribute to snoring, as can a long palate and/or uvula. Should I Worry If I Snore? Socially, snoring is disruptive to family life, causing other family members sleepless nights and often resentfulness. Snorers become unwelcome roommates on vacations or business trips. Also, snoring actually disturbs the sleeping patterns of the snorer, making restful sleep difficult. Finally, snoring can be an indicator of obstructive sleep apnea â€" a serious medical problem. What is The Laser Treatment Of Snoring? Laser treatment is much like a visit to the dentist. The patient is treated right in the doctor‘s office â€" sitting upright and fully awake in a comfortable chair. local anesthesia (Lidocaine) is applied, the laser is used to trim and reshape the uvula, which has no real function. Each session takes about ten minutes, and the full treatment is spread over three to five sessions spaced about four weeks apart. What Are The Advantages Of Laser Treatment? The multiple sessions keep the pain down to a mild sore throat for a few days; there is no bleeding with laser treatment. Eating and speaking are not affected. Patients go right back to their normal activity after each session. The biggest advantage to treatment with the laser, however, is that it works. An immediate reduction in snoring is common, with significant improvement usually occurring after the second session. In 85% of patients the snoring is cured, while an additional 12% report a reduced level of snoring. Dr. R.G. Jones at the Vein and Laser Centre of Ontario is one of the first in Canada to offer the laser procedure. He has been featured in the Toronto Star, Global TV, CKCO TV and CHCH TV as well as CBC Radio. The procedure is not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan and costs $1200.
