Everest Testimonials:
Al:I've been using the Silicone cannula for 3 years and really would find it hard to use the old plastic ones; I couldn't stand the smell of the plastic ones, I became very nauseated. They last well over a year; I save the prior year ones for back up in case I accidentally damage the one I have on. I had surgery last month and used my silicone cannula. The nurses were very interested in it.
Christine:
The Everest nasal cannula has been nothing short of an answered prayer for me. I searched the Internet for several years before I finally stumbled on to your website. The reason I searched was because I am allergic to rubber and latex products. It was a nightmare including using steroid creams to keep the rashes from becoming worse. This cannula is so soft and comfortable and no rash! Thank you for making my life so much better.
Jenny:
Thank you so much for allowing me to share with others the wonderful experiences I have had with your product. Back in June 2010 I was hospitalized with COPD. I was given the standard PVC Cannula and they worked for about two years. I then became allergic to them. My supplier told me there was nothing else they could provide. Well, I went to my trusty GOOGLE and simply asked for cannulas made from anything other than PVC. Up came information on your product and the wonderful video. I contacted your office in Canada and was then referred to your office in Nevada. Beverly even gave me her vendor number for Apria and still they denied being able to supply me. I then ordered them myself and have been so totally satisfied. I have ordered three total and will be ordering a couple more this week. Your ads say they can last for a year; well mine have lasted much longer. I take great care of them and sterilize them regularly. I'm going on two years of use.
Now for answers to your questions.
1. Began Oxygen Therapy in June, 2010.
2. Initially had no problems.
3. The only other one I have tried is the PVC that Apria supplied. Didn’t like anything about them. They cause my neck and ears to break out in a rash.
4. Tried my first Everest in March of 2012.
5. I use the Everest all the time. Comparison of my situation is amazing. No more rash break out.
6. I like the way it fits in my nose and the fact that I seem to receive a better flow of oxygen than I did with the PVC. Nothing bothers me about Everest.
7. The best advice I could give is to definitely try the Everest. It does cost me and the PVC are part of the oxygen supply package, but it's a cost I don't mind making. Only wish Medicare would pay for some or all of it.
You have a wonderful product and more should know about it. Even my doctor had never heard of your product. They do now as I have provided contact information to them.
Marci:
My father, before he passed, suffered from severe COPD/Emphysema and was on oxygen 24 hours a day. Due to a skin allergy he was unable to use regular PVC nasal cannulas without have severe skin weeping, swelling, and rashes. He was forced to wrap his cannulas in a thick cloth tape that rubbed his face and ears dry and raw.
Through some good old-fashioned Google searching I was able to find the Everest 100% silicone nasal cannulas. His skin cleared of any problems from the tape and he experienced no further problems from wearing oxygen. He also liked the extra weight of the cannula as it rested more comfortably on his face.
He took his cannulas to all of his doctor appointments, hospital visits; ER visits and was the last thing he wore before he passed.
We are all grateful, as was he, that we were finally able to find something that he could use after suffering skin problems with cannulas for years. It made such a difference that when in the hospital he labeled his cannula as the only product he could use and actually got into an argument with staff who wanted to change it out for a cheaper product.
The only complaint I have is that it wasn't available more widespread! I believe there are a great many people out there that could highly benefit from it.
A huge thanks to Everest for a fantastic product.
Robin:
1. I started oxygen therapy about eight months ago.
2. The initial problems involved and are growing is a severe allergy to all plastics and gasoline based fabrics and plastics. (A polyester allergy started shortly after starting therapy and any silicone is no better. It's a lose-lose.)
3. I use a nose cup cannula and have created pure cotton "sleeves" for the cup and tubing because no plastic can touch my skin or I get hives and have trouble breathing, which defeats the purpose.
4. I tried Everest shortly after first starting OT. My initial reaction was a severe allergic reaction.
5. I alternate the Everest cannula when I'm desperate. To be honest, I'm trying to figure out a way to never use a cannula again because there may come a time when it will become impossible to continue OT.
6. The only thing I like about Everest is the ability to boil it.
