No compelling reason at all that I am aware of. Brooks Bradley's group says they measured the particle size of the airbrush aerosol and said it was smaller that that produced by any nebulizer they tested. I heard of one nebulizer -it was on this list--- that makes a colloid that behaves like smoke; that must be a pretty fine aerosol. I wonder if BB's group tested that one? Smaller should mean better passage into the alveoli. Don't use one that makes steam; it distills the sol and leaves the Ag behind.
I get a kick out of watching people be cured with the simplest stuff. The airbrush will work where there is no electricity.

Leo _____ "James Osbourne, Holmes" wrote: Hi Terry and everyone, I have used only O2. It is the same regulator used for a shop welding rig. They cost about 100 SDRs. Prestolite is a commonly available brand. Any regulator RATED FOR USE WITH OXYGEN in the correct pressure range may be used. Oxygen regulators must be hydrocarbon lubricant free; grease or oil will burn explosively in a pure O2 atmosphere. The pressure works best in the +/- 20 PSI range. Bear in mind; the regulator is not is "approved" for medical use. All bottled O2 is USP grade. I think the "R" size tank is the best compromise of portability and easy handling vs time of use per bottle. You may purchase or lease from your local welding supply company. Here, a refill costs about 10 clams. Of course medical regulators may be used. Some have a L/min gauge. Not necessary; you just adjust the pressure so that the airbrush works well; you are not concerned about the O2 actual delivered amount except with a newborn. Then COMPETNENT MEDICAL EXPERTISE IS NECESSARY; a bit too much O2 and the baby can be made permanently blind due to oxidation of components of the retina. When I tried to price small simple inexpensive O2 regulators from local medical supply companies they treated me like I was trying to buy morphine. I have heard they are available on the net, but don't have anymore info. The most complicated part is any adapters you need from the output of the regulator to fit the input of the airbrush. Take your bits and pieces to the welding supply and they will be able to fabricate or order the correct fittings. They cost less than 5 in most instances. The assembly is simple and obvious. If it fits, screw it together. If it does not, seek an adapter. Be gentle; the threads are fine. Fingers tighten to be certain the connection is not cross threaded before applying a preferably non-crushing and non-toothed tool. Dish soap and water will reveal leaks at any joint. Be careful with wrenches; you have a lot of leverage in the small fittings. You know the joint is approaching tight enough when the torque sensation rises abruptly. Tighten lightly, and bubble the joint, tightening more only if necessary. Make sure that the tools are stored with the kit. Put the whole kit in a easy-to-carry container. Hard-shell is harder to carry but better for situations that may require rough handling. Are any state mil guys listening? The airbrush has only one adjustment. It is possible by tweaking the pressure and that venturi adjustment until no spray or mist is seen, but holding the airbrush a couple of inches from your hand reveals moisture accumulation. I presume that is when it is making the smallest particles. Of course the spray can be made coarser and the device used to spray external areas. It is probably a waste to use 02 for that purpose, but there may be some benefit of the O2 getting into solution and there certainly is little likelihood of harm. The enameled steel lid of the airbrush's glass containers react with the sol. The turns dirty yellow in a short period of storage therein. Do not store the sol in them. I am looking for HDPE or other acceptable replacements. Choices abound in Lab supply catalogs. The airbrush is fasten to the lid with a nut and washer, and can be easily transferred to a plastic lid that is not too thick. The little tube from the airbrush can be shortened or replace with a longer tube to reach the bottom of the bottle. If using a compressed air source, even a bicycle pump, ONE SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PRESENCE OF OIL IN THE PUMP, be it hand or machine powered. Those living in LA will probably not notice the difference. Oil-less is best, or if a manual pump, perhaps replacing the leather cup on the piston with a new one lubricated with a food oil will be good practice. In a pinch you could make a usable leather cup from available articles. Just disassemble the pump and look at the cup. Surplus sources often sell used oil less pumps. A lab or dental vacuum pump may be used as a pressure pump. Anyone handling compressed gasses should LEARN CORRECT HANDLING, STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION PRACTICES for these substances. Your local welding shop probably has free handouts, or can let you copy their regulations. Don't just stand the bottle up on a floor or table. Sooner or later you will tip it over. Get a carrier with feet, or strap the bottle to a table leg with something. O2 can cause the combustion of virtually anything to accelerate explosively. Once in the space shuttle, at 16 PSI pure O2, a crew members hand caught on fire. Not his glove, his hand. If a bottle simply falls over, it can break the regulator. Worse case, the fitting at the top of the bottle can break off, creating a bottle rocket effect and causing a fire hazard at the same time. This simple device replaces thousands of dollars of medical equipment and drugs, and works better. There are, no doubt, some contraindications that will be proposed. I haven't heard of them for anyone but very newborn infants. If a medical professional can offer the list the age parameters for newborns, that would be useful. Current opinion from some medical professionals is that this stuff will stop respiratory 'rax if administered promptly. That pathogen does release a very destructive endotoxin when the cell wall lyses. Lacking specific information I would start with the most minimal amount with anyone who has a well developed condition that is not DEFINITIVLY DIAGNOSED ---organism(s) specific--- condition (If that can be possible) and observe what happens before taking a lot. It is up to the user to figure out what "little" and "a lot" means. I suspect that even one toke will kill a lot of bacteria. Every user of which I am aware is astounded at the rapidity of the beneficial results. Now, considering the likelihood of the trucks not running at anytime in the foreseeable future, and there being no source of O2, who knows a good route to distill and liquefy oxygen at home in your spare time and for only pennies ? Are there small devices? Probably. Do they cost a fortune---even used? I haven't looked. What is involved in making one from existing readily-available make-do components? Could one cascade a bunch of domestic or commercial freezer condensing units or will the pressures be too high for the components?---that is my guess. Could a group do what is difficult for one? Yes, but only if they stop bickering and recognize our common problem. Bottom line: one use and you have in most cases more than recovered your costs, and without the mind-damaging effect of being exposed to the drivel in the out-of-date pop-culture and disinformation publications in the waiting room---assuming the doctor is still in the office, and not already stuck in traffic at roadblock set up at every exit to the area for the purpose shipping everyone without the right papers to the alleged quarantine camps. In boxcars, if need-be. Legislation has already been written.
