Tamás Ganzer: 8 years ago, in the middle of August my nose started to discharge. At he time, I thought it’s just a simple flu, but it lasted for 3 weeks. One of my friends, who was already suffering from allergies told me that it’ not for sure to be the flu. Next year I didn’t just have my nose running, but my eyes started itching. I could only sleep half-hours. It was a nightmare!

Judit Kaspár: With me it started 10 years ago. My eyes, ears and my throat were itching, and my nose was running. It was a horrible-horrible thing. I started to visit a doctor. He made the allergy tests and the result was that I am allergic to several things.

Tamás Ganzer: I visited a doctor and he detected that I am allergic to the ragweed and mugwort the most. He prescribed a bunch of medicines that helped for a while but later my body probably became immune to them.

Judit Kaspár: I’ve tried a lot of medicines, they reduced the symptoms – more or less – but it wasn’t the best. And then, I could aquire this Saltpipe this year.

Tamás Ganzer: One of my friends told me about a thing called Saltpipe. I started to use it in the evenings for 20-30 minutes during watching TV or reading. This year for my biggest surprise , this two-month long horror decreased to 1 single week, in a way that only my nose running symptoms turned up, but also, only on a minimal level. My allergies in the last two years turned into asthmatic coughing. By now it is past.

Judit Kaspár: It reduced my symptoms considerably, this year I didn’t have to take medicines anymore. It made me cough when I started with it, because it cleans the respiratory tructs. It even removes the old settled crusts (sediments). Is is prosperous, favourable for the treatment of every kinds of respiratory problems.

Duna TV Host: Allergies and asthma became the new characteristics of modern times. Residents of Budapest are lucky in a way however, since they can find the way of healing int the heart of the City.

Valéria Oláh: At the moment we are on the giant corridor of the Szemlohegyi Cave. This is the place where the patients suffering from respiratory problems are treated. Practically, people suffering from upper- and lower respiratory truct-problems visit us mainly. The air of the caves is pollen-free, so there aren’t any factors that cause sickness. Humidity is 90-100%, the temperature is constant, always 13 °C and it is full of minerals.

Duna TV Host: People suffering from respiratory illnesses can find remedy in many caverns in Hungary and all over Europe. However, one has to travel hundreds of kilometers to find one. László Budai and Imre Békefi rather delivered these healthy minerals to our homes. The inventors created the Saltpipe which contains the millions of years old treasures of the Earth.

Imre Békefi: The idea came, when I was sick myself. One morning, 20 years age I got up sneezing hard. Duna TV Host: At the moment of creation the inventor and the patient united. Maybe this is the key to success. And the positive feedbacks are numerous, since more and more people want this pipe.

Mrs. Petheo: This is such an amazing “gadget”! Constantly available, mobile, inhaler and cleaning. It made a miracle with me.

Duna TV Host: We can hit the same efficiency with the help of the crystals, hidden into the china-container as we can with the salt-cavern therapy. As a matter of fact it means remedy not only for the people with allergies or asthma, but for those also, who have cold. They can recover in a shorter time with the help of the Saltpipe.

László Budai: This pipe contains salt crystals. From seveal places, all over Europe, where, in salt-caverns hospitals and sanatoriums operate in order to cure patients. While the patient is breathing through it, the salt crystals dissolve. It works on a micro level, and this fact is very important ’cause in this size the minerals are able to get to the smallest parts inside the respiratory organs. There, it resolves the sediments. Extinguishes the irritations and simply cleans our respiratory system.

Duna TV Host: This new therapy is so simple. We just sit back and “smoke” the pipe. Our guest is dr. Matild Kovács, division leader specialist of the Csepel Hospital:

Matild Kovács: Good morning! Greetings to everyone! Show Host: Are you already using this Saltpipe in the Hospital? Do you offer this to your patients?

Matild Kovács: We use the Saltpipe during the abulat medical attendance of our patients. We offer it to them with quite good results, since it is like a mobile salt cavern therapy. The salt crystal-filled instrument helps to dissolve the sediments (crusts) and secretions that stucks onto the respiratory tructs and also helps in the depletion.

Show Host: Is it fully able to substitute cavern therapy?

Matild Kovács: No, not completely, only that part of the cave, or cavern therapy where salt crystals are adopted (utilized). Since the micro climate of the caves is inevitable concerning cave therapy, which – obviously – cannot be created at home, under domestic circumstances.

Show Host: What kind of minerals does this pipe contain?

Matild Kovács: Saltpipe contains mainly calcium-salts, besides, on the level of micro elements we can also find the natrium, the chlorine and the potassium. In small quantity also the bromine and the iodine.

Show Host: Is this an expensive instrument?

Matild Kovács: Considering its long term usability, further more, the positive effects, the current commercial price is acceptable.

Show Host: How often do we need to change/replace it?

Matild Kovács: The inventors filled it with a quantity which is sufficient for 5 years.

Show Host: How much does it cost: Matild Kovács: 15 000 Forints. Show Host: Who are the ones who can use it, and for who wouldn’t you suggest it?

Matild Kovács: As a matter of fact, it can be used by everyone. Even small children, starting at the age when they can be trained what is the proper way of breathin through this salt crystal-filled pipe. We can suggest it to people suffering from cronic respiratory diseases, allergies and also for smokers; with very good results. Practically for everyone who suffers from irritated respiratory alteration.

Show Host: On what levels of sickness can we use it?

Matild Kovács: In the preventive period, in case of cronical diseases, to prevent the acute stage or avoid protraction. Of course it is not a substitute for a medicine. It is not a medicament, but it plays an important role in the preventive therapy.

Show Host: How often is the use of the pipe needed?

Matild Kovács: In order to reach the beneficial results, it is necessary to use it daily.

Show Host: Is the pipe known abroad?

Matild Kovács: Well, many foreign countries show interest towards the Saltpipe, since the incidence rate of the the allergic upper-, and lower respiratory illnesses is getting higher and higher. Because of this, every product that offers results on the field of restoring good condition, and at the same time improves the comfort-feeling without any side effects, clearly creates interest everywhere.

Show Host: Well, thank you for coming, and allow me one more question: those people whose interest aroused towards the Saltpipe are probably interested: can they already purchase this product?

Matild Kovács: Yes, of course, it is already on the market. Thank you for the interview!

Two men, from Budapest, invented a Saltpipe which is filled with minerals, mined from salt-caves. László Budai (38) & Imre Békefi (40) both swear on it! The pipe helps in case of allergies or cold the same way as the salt caverns, but without the need of travelling day by day.

They draw experience from their own sources, ’cause formerly both suffered from allergies. – Everybody knows that salt caverns and the fresh salty sea breeze clean the lungs. But! You have to thake a trip for that. I myself travelled many times with my family for the same reason when my allergies stood forth – remembers Mr. László Budai – Then I realized that we could “store” the same materials at home. And that’s how the idea of the Saltpipe came. His inventor partner, Mr. Imre Békefi was suffering from asthmatic symptoms.

They combined forces and together developed the small ceramic pipe.
"I could hardy work then, since I couldn’t breathe" - says Mr. Békefi. The small, palm-size applience contains assorted salt crystals from the most famous healin caverns of Europe, and these 20-22 millions of years old materials reach the most hidden corners of the respiratory system and there dissolve all the crusts, sediments and regenerate the whole breathing system. As soon as I started to use the pipe, my allergy – with mild symptoms – for the hazelbush, has disappeared. My eyes are weeping from the ragweed for 2 weeks the most instead of the formerly extant 3 months. But of course we cannnot avoid the pollens of the ragweed, which goes through everything. In order to prevent allergies, the best thing to do is to continuously clean the body.

According to the inventors the pipe also helps in case of having cold, because some of the salt crystals kill bacterias. The best is, to start using the pipe as a preventive utensil before the illness could evolve.

It’s obvious that apart from the genetic factors, the pollution of the air causes the allergies and asthma. That’s why the cavern therapies are so successful. Since there we inhale huge amounts of substances with healing effect. However this solution is very expensive, time-consuming and inmobile.

We have patented an instrument which is able to provide the healing effects of the salt crystals under domestic conditions, circumstances. The active substances of the Saltpipe we sorted from the most famous caverns of Europe in which during therapies, the patients suffering from asthmatic and respiratory problems are cured with 90% effectiveness. The substances – that are closed in the salt crystals for several thousands of years – the Saltpipe transports to the most hidden points of the respiratory system during inhaling and there these substances heal the most irritated parts. This solution is very effective and economical. We guarantee that this instrument contains the amount of ingredients that is sufficient for 5 years. We can make even the long standing illnesses symptom-free or the medicine consumption could decrease to a very small level.

This Hungarian invention could unburden the life of those people in the first place who don’t hav enough time or energy for going ot healing caverns for therapy.

The Saltpipe is a Hungarian invention. In our country there are more and more asthmatic and allergic patients, and the number of people suffering from other respiratory illnesses is increasing explosion-like. The therapies employes in the different salt caverns have been well known and popular for decades. Since the substances contained in the salt crystals are millions of years old and these successfully clean the breathing system. The Saltpipe is the invention of Hungarian citizens and with the help of it you can gain all the advantages, features of the salt cave therapy while sitting at home in your armchair.

The salt crystals of famous European caverns are fitted between the ceramic filters. According to the official medical statistics this special treatment can improve the condition of patients suffering from respiratory illnesses with a 60-80% efficiency.

Hungrian invention helps the life of people – suffering from allergic, asthmatic and other respiartory truct problems – whose number is growing explosion-like.
As a matter of fact, Saltpipe is nothing more than a mixture of minerals, collected from the most famous salt caverns, and so, the therapies can be carried out at the home of the patient without the expensive travelling. Since the damaging effects of the air pollution are unavoidable, ti seems that we should and have to clean and repair our respiratory tructs. That’s why the salt cavern therapies are so successful: because apart from the clean air, the substances – being stored in the salt crystals for millions of years – regenerate and clean the whole breathing system. However, these therapies are expensive, time-consuming and immobile. Saltpipe is a patented instrument which helps us to obtain all the advantages of the salt crystal therapy.

The salt crystals fitted between the ceramic filters – are collected from the most famous healing caverns of Europe – according to medical reports, improve the condition of people suffering from respiratory problems with even an 80% efficiency. The beneficial substances – being stored in the crystals for millions of years – reach the most hidden points of the breathing system during inhaling through the ceramic filters 15-20 minutes daily.

Saltpipe for allergies and asthma

“Only the first frost takes away the pollens”

In Hungary one and a half million of people are sneezing and blowing nose “thanks” to the ragweed, starting in May and finishing at the end of October.

Dr. Tibor Kóczán division leading specialis informed us that we are dealing with a very aggressive allergen. This is a relatively undemanding plant, which multiplies very fast. The tip of the pollen issued by this plant is hook-like, which hurts the mucous membrane of the nose. It digs itself under the membrane and it doesn’t come out with blowing the nose. It would be practical to exterminate them as it is done by for example Austria or Germany.

Rain helps people who are sensitive to the ragweed, because the rain washes the pollens down on the ground which can only be stirred up by a significant wind-blow – as Mr. Szilárd Aigner meteorologist informed us. The complete cleaning out is brought by the first frost. But – in this case – unfortunatelly we can not expect it before the middle of October. This year in the second district of Budapest there was an all-together 1 million -Forint penalty inflicted upon residents for not destroying the ragweed. The smallest amount of penalty was 10 000, and the highest was 400 000 Forints layed on the proprietors for not cutting ragweed.

It contains salt crystals, through which the user has to breathe.
We reached back to a very old, traditional methodology: the cavern therapy. We all know that salt caverns are very much beneficial in connection with all of the variations of the respiratory illnesses. Allergies and the asthma – rooting in allergies – started to “conquer” at the end of the 20th century. Air pollution became a world-wide problem by then. The salt cavern therapies are so effective because the minerals clean up, regenerate and heal the irritated and inflamed breathing system. Unfortunatelly, no matter how effective it is, there is muck trouble with them. Namely the travelling, and its time-consuming nature makes it hard to accomplish. Not to mention the expenditures.

Saltpipe cuts this Gordian knot. We can decide in our homes when do we want to use it during our freetime. The salt crystals placed into this small, palm-size instrument was collected from the most famous salt caverns of Europe.

The substances – being locked in the salt crystals for 20-22 millions of years – do their job, and go down to the most hidden corners of the breathing system on a micro level and there dissolve all the crusts, sediments and regenerate the respiratory system.

In our era, it became necessary to clean our breathing tructs as well as we do it with our hair or skin, since it was not created to hold against such a hard attack that it gets from the environment nowadays.

Our little instrument gives us the chance of relief; even for those people who are suffering from allergies and asthma for decades. We also had customers who were “only” hard smokers and salt pipe stood the test even for them.
