Hi G, I am certainly no expert in nebulizers but was recently in the same quandry that you seem to be in now...wondering what type of nebulizer to use for the best effect. I'll share with you some of what I learned.
The list "knowledgeables" provided advice that an oxygen nebulizer would be best (and possibly cheapest if you make your own), an ultrasonic model such as one made by Omron would be a good second choice and any old nebulizer would be much better than none. If I understand correctly, the first and second devices mentioned have a finer mist of smaller droplets which allows deeper penetration into the lower areas of the lungs. There may be more to it than this as well. Someone else might be able to fill in some blanks here.... Having said all this I opted, at least for now, to get the cheaper option, the Omron NE-C25 from Quick Medical, which is a basic compressor type nebulizer. I got it in 3 days and proceeded to use it when I came down with pneumonia in April, quite likely related to Swine Flu, and to make a long story short(er) this nebulizer saved my bacon and did a wonderful job using only 10 ppm. CS four times daily with 5 or 6 ml. each time. A host of other "good" remedies hardly did a thing for me. No doubt, the more experienced list members already know what I then found out...that CS beats the pants off anything else if it can be delivered to the site of infection effectively. It seemed to me that my el cheapo nebulizer worked very well for my personal situation. Still, I'd like to find time to make the oxygen nebulizer in the future. Visit this site for more info. and see the link at the bottom of the page for the tutorial for building your own oxygen nebulizer if this interests you: http://www.silvermedicine.org/nebulizers.html This is merely shared research, of course, and not to be construed as medical advice, which is never given on this list.

I now know a humidifier must be ULTRASONIC. If I do indeed decide to buy a nebulizer----MUST IT BE ULTRASONIC???? I already have a compressor type nebulizer what is the difference in delivery of CS to the lungs?
