Most traditional and unconventional treatments, from tennis balls attached to your pajama's, pillows, over-the-counter decongestants, antihistamines or prescription corticosteroid nasal sprays, oil based throat sprays, nasal strips, nostril dilators, tongue retainers, jaw positioners and other gadgets and devices have been found to have side effects, are cumbersome, expensive or simply do not work. The SnoreStop products are simple to use, inexpensive, non-habit forming, free of side effects and have credible scientific evidence for effectiveness.

Snoring from A to ZZZZ, by Derek S. Lipman, M.D.

"A new homeopathic remedy for snoring has recently been introduced in The United States. Developed by a Portland naturopathic physician, Kenneth Rifkin, N. D., and marketed as SnoreStop, this product appears to be a safe and effective treatment for non-apneic snoring.

Available over-the-counter, SnoreStop contains several homeopathic pharmaceutical ingredients, designed to improve upper airway muscle tone, regulate nasal secretions- as well as decreasing nasal allergic reactions.

In a double-blind clinical study, 100 snoring adults in Portland, Oregon were screened by this author. Suitable candidates were randomly given either the active ingredient or a placebo medication. There were no side-effects to either product.

Each study subject was given a snoring diary, completed by their sleep mate over 10 nights, documenting changes in the frequency and volume of their snoring. Statistical analysis indicated that the majority of subjects taking the active ingredients experienced a significant reduction in the frequency and volume of their snoring, according to their bedroom partners, compared to the placebo group....

Great news for those who lose sleep next to habitual snorers: A homeopathic remedy seems to help stop the noise.

In a recent study, those snorers who took the remedy SnoreStop showed a significant decrease in their snoring after 10 nights, compared to those who took a dummy pill (Sleep and Breathing, vol 3, no 2,1999).

How does the product work? According to Kenneth Rifkin, ND, the Portland-based naturopathic physician and homeopath who concocted the remedy, it halts the snore-producing process before it starts. A snore is born when tissues in the upper airway relax and sag during sleep, so air passing through the airway makes the tissues rattle noisily.

"SnoreStop firms up the soft tissues in the back of the throat so that they don’t vibrate like a sail in the wind when the snorer breathes," says Dr. Rifkin, who has used it to treat more than 200 snorers—much to the delight of their sleep mates. The medication also acts as an antihistamine to open the airway, so air passing through doesn’t create so much tissue-vibrating turbulence. In the study, snorers reported no side effects after taking SnoreStop. (But we bet that they enjoyed one significant, positive side effect: fewer elbow jabs from their disturbed bedmates.)
