As the forum has expanded it has become necessary to introduce some guidelines in order to make participation in the RESPeRATE forum discussions a pleasant experience for all.

We ask that you please make note of the following:

PLACEMENT OF POSTS
There are four areas on the RESPeRATE forum: News & Announcements, Pre-Sales Q&A, the Users Forum and the High Blood Pressure Forum. Please pick ONE most appropriate area in which to post your specific topic. Posting the same topic in more than one area is not necessary and leads to confusion. Any such duplicate posts will be deleted. Additionally, re-posting the same topic due to lack of replies is also not good practice and will result in post deletion. Repeat occurrences of re-posting may lead to the user being banned from the forum.

INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
Use of offensive language is not permitted on the RESPeRATE forum. Any post which is seen as containing abusive, harassing, hateful or otherwise inappropriate content will be deleted by the moderators. If a user insists on posting such content, the moderators reserve the right to ban the user from further posting.

Please be considerate of others when posting in this forum and please keep in mind that cultural differences may exist. Please also consider your style of writing when posting on this forum, e.g. posts written in upper case or using sms-style abbreviations can be difficult and annoying to read.

SPAMMING
Spamming is not welcome on the RESPeRATE forum. In fact, spamming is not welcome on any forums really! Any post identified as spam will be deleted without consultation. The RESPeRATE forum moderator reserve the right to ban the owner of the offending post, without notice.

SELLING
The RESPeRATE forum is not a mean for members to support their business or franchise. As such, selling or otherwise advertising your products here will result in the deletion of your posts. This includes advertising content that is contained solely in your signature. Genuine members who also happen to be distributors of products are required to clearly state that fact in every post in which they mention the product in which they have a financial interest. It is recommended that posting about such products only be done in response to another member's enquiry. After the initial reply, all content relating to this enquiry should be taken off-line or be done via the private messaging system.

USE OF THE PRIVATE MESSAGING SYSTEM
The private messaging (PM) system is in place to allow users to contact each other privately without needing to exchange email addresses. The system is not to be used for the propagation of unsolicited advertising of products, or any other unsolicited communication that can be seen as annoying. The RESPeRATE moderators reserve the right to ban any forum member found to be abusing the PM system in this way.

REPORTING PROBLEMS
If you feel that a user is not following these forum guidelines, please send a PM to one of the forum moderators. Be sure to include the username of the person you feel is in breach of the guidelines and any relevant links to supporting information.

We look forward to reading your posts and hope that you enjoy your time on the RESPeRATE forum.

This machine is the biggest waste of money I've commited in a long time. First you would not give me the free shipping promised in the newpaper ad & claimed I was late [ad appeared on Thursday; I tried to order on Saturday].
I complained about the limited 30-day warranty but you said it would ONLY take 3 -4 weeks to see any results. I was assured that I WOULD see results so stupidly I ordered it from Amazon who gave me the no shipping fee deal. Since I have many problems with most BP meds, I was dreaming that this might actually help!
We tried it for a month with NO results & left on vacation [no time to send it back]. When we got back we tried it for another month -- my blood pressure went down slightly, my spouse's actually went UP.
I asked about that and also about whether we had to use this thing for ever & always or if one could quit if you EVER got satisfactory results. No answers to those questions either.
I repeated the questions on this forum -- still no anwers.
I find this exhausting, frustrating, & boring because the stupid thing does NOT breathe WITH me [now my BP is UP too], and I cannot possibly breathe as it directs me. My husband complains about the same thing.
I hope some of these negative posts will discourage others from wasting their money. I am tempted to contact the Better Business Bureau, not to get my money back, but to again, warn off other suckers.
