Abstract

The present invention provides a method of treating respiratory disorders, such as cystic fibroses, through misting ocean water in a closed room where a patient resides.

Claims

1. A method of treating respiratory diseases using ocean water, comprising the steps of:

collecting salt water from the ocean, transporting said salt water to a processing plant, packaging said salt water in commercially marketable containers, distributing said packaged water to patients, and misting the salt water into a closed room where the patient is located.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of testing said salt water for harmful bacteria prior to packaging.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of sterilizing said salt water if harmful bacteria are found.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of compiling a database of success rates amongst users, comparing said rates by region of water origin and testing said water at said origin location for unique beneficial matter and concentrations thereof.
