How breastfeeding reduces the risk of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea is 
the topic I cover in my presentation that was just placed on 
Health-e-Learning's website.   I am very pleased that it was available online for the beginning 
of World Breastfeeding Week.

The 67 minute presentation is available to anyone in the world.   It 
summarizes my 30+ years of research on the topic of how breastfeeding can help reduce 
the risk of developing the malocclusions that put individuals at risk for 
developing breathing and sleeping problems, especially obstructive sleep apnea 
(OSA).   OSA is a MAJOR contributor to many health problems, including high blood 
pressure, heart attacks, strokes, depression, daytime sleepiness, 
hyperactivity, bedwetting and obesity.   This presentation is a visual explanation of my 
article that is available at: http://brianpalmerdds.com/pdf/Master_2_27_06.pdf 
  This article is also available in French, Spanish, Greek, German and 
Italian in the International Room on my website.   If there is anyone out there who 
is fluent in another language and would like to translate the article into 
another language, I would be happy to work with you to accomplish this.

BREASTFEEDING is the KEY to TOTAL HEALTH by reducing breathing and sleeping 
problems!   Once more healthcare professionals understand this relationship, 
breastfeeding will be elevated to the higher level of importance that it so 
deserves.   

I can envision breastfeeding support people getting together around a 
computer with a couple of healthcare professionals or friends, watching the 
presentation, and then discussing the merits of the presentation.

Other doctors are starting to understand and accept my research.   I would 
encourage you to listen to theTara Marie Segundo online radio show that was just 
broadcast last week on July 29.   She interviewed Dr. Steven Park, an Ear, 
Nose and Throat specialist in NY.   Dr. Park had me review his book before it 
was submitted for publication.   While reading the book, I thought I could have 
written the same book.   As an ENT specialist, he has observed the same things 
I observed during the 35 years I was in active dental practice (now retired). 
  To listen to the online radio broadcast, go to: 
http://www.hotradio125.com/showpages/taramariesegundo.htm and click on Download at the end of the July 
29, 2008 note.   I called in about 3/4 way through the show.   He gives my 
website some credit for helping him develop some of his ideas.

The title of Dr. Park's book is: Sleep, Interrupted: A physician reveals the 
#1 reason why so many of us are sick and tired.   The book is due out mid 
September.   I can highly recommend the book for everyone, especially those with 
sleeping problems.   Information on the book is available at: 
http://www.westsideent.stirsite.com/page/page.cfm/sleepinterrupted .   Note my comment at the 
very end of that page.

Dr. Hawley Montgomery-Downs, a director of a sleep lab in Virginia, had an 
article published last November: Infant-Feeding Methods and Childhood 
Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Vol 120, No 5, November 2007:1030-1035.   Reference #40 in 
the reference section of that article is my article above.   Her article 
states: "Our finding support the notion that breastfeeding may provide long-term 
protection against the severity of childhood sleep-disordered breathing.   In 
correspondence with Dr. Montgomery-Downs, she stated that my website helped her 
to develop some of the ideas for her research.

I believe the IMPORTANCE OF BREASTFEEDING has just entered a new era.

Regarding the presentation.   LC's and American nurses receive 1.25 CERP 
credit hours and one week of unlimited access to the presentation for $18.75 US.   
The presentation is also available to anyone else in the world for the same 
fee.   When you consider nobody has to travel, stay in a hotel, get off work, 
or pay a conference fee, it is a very cheap continuing education credit.

I am hoping this note does not go against LACTNET's rules regarding promoting 
specific conferences.   This is not a conference and I know this presentation 
will not be given by anyone else at any other time, since nobody else has 
spent, or will spend, 30+ years doing the research I have done.   I am hoping 
however, that other researchers will learn from what they see. and continue on 
with the research.

I need your help in making sure as many healthcare providers as possible see 
this presentation.   Please feel free to share this information with others.

Have a great day!

For Better Health!
