Welcome to our online support service. We hope to provide a platform for questions asked and answered by actual nebuliser users. Questions such as how to choose and get the best out of your nebuliser.

We encourage you to post or ask any product related comments and ideas but please avoid any profanity or leaving your personal contact information such as email or phone numbers.

We look forward to hearing from you and will help where we can.

Nebulising Colloidal Silver and other Complimentary therapies.

More and more we are getting calls from those of you who have sought the advice of an alternative or complimentary therapy practitioner. Often your practitioner has already suggested an complimentary remedy, such as colloidal silver , and the nebuliser unit they think appropriate for the purpose. However we also get many calls from you asking us to recommend an alternative therapy and a suitable nebulising unit and you can view our range by clicking HERE

Recommending complimentary remedies is way beyond our knowledge base and we have had no training in this regard other than the information available to all on the internet and occasional feedback from customers, so we wouldn’t know where to begin.

A nebuliser is a medical device and can have serious side effects, as can the medicine that’s used in it. In the U.K. nebulisers and nebuliser medications are licensed and monitored by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency

Always do your research thoroughly. Some alternative and complimentary therapies, such as acupuncture, are more regulated and researched than others. Some complimentary preparations can be dangerous and react with many prescription medicines, or lead to a build up of chemicals in your body.

The British Lung Foundation recommend that you always:
Discuss it with your doctor or nurse.
Keep taking your prescribed medication.
Check whether the therapy is available on the NHS.
Make sure that any therapist you consult is a member of the relevant professional body.
Make sure that your therapist knows about any medication or treatment you are using.
Never try to diagnose or treat yourself.
Avoid buying products (in shops, by post or over the internet) that you have not been 
advised to buy by a qualified therapist.

You can find more information about various therapies and their governing bodies HERE.

If following careful consideration you decide that a complimentary therapy may be beneficial to you we can assist with your choice of nebuliser and the nebuliser questions you need to ask your therapist are really the same as when choosing a nebuliser for prescription medication. How many times a day will I need to nebulise and for what period of time? How sticky or viscous is the remedy and what sort of quantity of liquid will I be nebulising? These are just the nebuliser questions you need to consider but there are many other questions you should asking.

You may find other beneficial information throughout this blog, and remember nebulisers are designed to drive a strong solution deep into your lower airways. They are not suitable for everyone and, as a medical device, carry their own warnings and contra indications. Only make an informed decision after checking with your G.P. first
