It may not be quite as effective but I always used a cupped hand to percuss the back and chest when my kids were congested. Of course it's very hard to do that to yourself. So yeah, neato idea.

Hey, I looked at the intriguing video of a guy blowing one of these things. Sure looks pretty simple to me, as are many of the alternative therapies I've been running into in recent weeks.

Only $40 for one of these things sounds like a bargain for someone who really needs it. Of course, I don't want to wait until the FDA gets around to approving it and adding to it's cost. I'm guessing that with a little bit of patience, a plastic tube and some scotch tape someone could build one of these things that would work just as well. The length of the scotch tape would be the biggest issue. I'd plan on making it too long, and then tuning it by cutting off a half inch at a time until it was 'just right.'

Cool!
