Or are you posting on behalf of Nasalguard?

I tried nasalguard last summer for hayfever, I found it to be just about worthless; the company who sell it gave me my money back.

Sherry Bane - 29 Jan 2004 19:04 GMT This must be one huge tube to cost 4.95 to ship and handle - or is it $1 for postage and the actual tube is 1/2 oz so you aren't really getting anything free????

It's an old trick--the product is "free" and "shipping and handling" is exhorbitant. That's where they make the money. You've probably seen "free" software offers on TV. A useless (usually outdated or unpopular) bundle of software is offered for free, and shipping is far beyond what it would normally cost (even if it were routed via Neptune).

I'm allergic to cats and dogs.. but it doesn't hit me right away.. just after a little bit.. I went to my friends place who have cats and they told me to try it.. needless to say 1/2 into the stay I knew it was working, cause otherwise I would have been tearing and sneezing..
Although I really don't suffer from allergies as much as some others, I got a tube to use when I'm doing any home improvement projects or in my basement, which has something.. mold or maybe it's my older couches which start to make things bad if I stay down there too long... I've been using every since on a needs only basis..

Well it certainly is a novel invention. Their patent can be accessed in full at
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=5468488 :
"The present invention is directed to products for restricting the flow of airborne contaminants into a nasal passage. More particularly, it is directed to such a product which includes the ability to create an artificial electrostatic field in an area close to, at, or within the nasal passage to either repel or attract airborne contaminants, or both, to prevent such contaminants from entering the nasal passage and body of a user."
Does anyone think this would have any prospect of actually working?
Of course the "overstock" and "free tube" are typical sales hype.
Are you connected to the company?

I would like to know how this 'electrostatic' field' is created and maintained. IMO it is hard to believe that such a field can be created and maintained inside the sinuses.

Isn't it amazing - it literally turns your nose into an electrostatic air filter!

It is more 'implausible' than 'amazing.'

the concept is not all that implausible... most of your common lotions and conditioners have an innate electrostat property.. I ran across an article a while back on this.. I'll post if I can remeber where it was..

Most lotions have an _anti_ static property. They allow dissipation of static charges.

I work in the pharma industry and since know people who know people that are involved with the company..

Well, I'm an electrical engineer, and it seems implausable to me. The 'static cling' occurs because some kinetic energy has been imparted that displaced electrons. A glob of some monolithic substance isn't going to maintain a charge. If that could occur, you would see models of electrostatic air cleaners without power cords. You don't.

Post a link to one. This turned up with google. There are loads of others. I think 3M makes them too.

Again, we're back to the kinetic energy that I mentioned. They work by having air forced through them at high velocity, which displaces electrons and creates static electricity.

Right... but that's how these nose filter work. Air gets forced passed them creating a charge.

Air gets forced passed > them creating a charge. So you really believe that the miniscule volume and velocity of air passing by a bit of gel at the rim of the nose can generate enough potential to attract particulates up to a few millimeters away within a moving air stream? LOL. Theory and practice are two different things. Marketing depends on the scientifically illiterate to not make that distinction.

Besides - I am still waiting for a plausible explanation of how your lotion can generate a static field.

knob - 25 Jan 2004 18:39 GMT Air friction creates a charge on the surface of the filter. I don't know anything about the gel. I wasn't the orignator of the thread.

But the question that was asked was "Did anybody of the regulars here...". and the answer was "no".
No doubt that being "advertised heavily" will increase sales, but certainly not the validity of the specious claims.

My comment applied to the comment about how none of the 'regulars' endorsed the product.

Reinert Korsnes - 21 Jan 2004 13:56 GMT Can the level of humidity in the air affect its effectiveness? I ask because I investigate around my invention http://home.chello.no/~rkorsnes/nozzle , and I wonder if this invention is a competitor. I like competition and competitors :-) reinert
