Dear Rebbecca,
I hope I have the name right. Can I send you a machine. I feel really
bad about your situation. May I have your permission to send you a
machine for 2 or 3 weeks and see if it makes a difference. If it
doesn't just mail it back to me (at my expense).l
I don't have CF, but I use to have crippling sinusitis, bronchitis,
along with painful and constant lung, throat, & sinus infections. I
was practically taking anti-biotic all the time.
Then I tried this new technology that made a huge difference. I
couldn't believe that I went from sick all the time to hardly ever
sick. Since that time, I used my engineering skills and actually
developed my own line of machines. They are great for allergy and
asthma sufferers, but to be honest we never had anyone try it with CF.
Recently, a friend of mine contacted me and told me that his assistant
has a daughter with RSV. I went over to his work and told her to try
it for two weeks. Her experience is now on my main testimonial in my
new tri-fold brochure. You can see it at:
New Brochure: www.airfantastic.com/pdf/airfanbrochure.pdf
Please email me so that I can send you this unit at no charge. I hope
it makes a big difference. You can email me at markm@....
