The Rotary Club of Skokie Valley Guest Speaker for the weekly luncheon meeting was Julia W Rath Ph.D. She spoke to the club on the unhealthy effects of Sleep Apnea. Dr. Rath is the author of "Conquering Your Own Sleep Apnea, The All-Natural Way".

According to Dr. Rath Sleep apnea is one of the most widespread chronic diseases with links to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, cancer, and premature death. Its prevalence has grown significantly over the past 30 years. By focusing on the root causes of apnea rather than its symptoms, Dr. Julia W. Rath developed an alternative method of treatment that virtually eliminates the need for the CPAP machine, expensive dental devices, surgery, and reliance on prescription drugs. Dr. Rath's talk is in part based on her new book, "Conquering Your Own Sleep Apnea The All-Natural Way," where she describes how certain food and chemicals triggered her own illness.
