Abstract: A venturi inhalation device is provided. The device has a tube defining an internal volume with a fine bore needle disposed at one end. The fine bore needle is in fluid communication with the internal volume of the tube such that medication stored therein can pass into the needle. The tube has a second end which can be sealed to contain the medication until the device is used. A hollow housing is sized and shaped to receive the tube in close tolerance, whereupon the tube being so received, an air-tight seal is formed. The housing also includes a venturi restriction, and when the tube is received by the first end of the housing, a distal end of the fine bore needle is placed within the venturi restriction. A mouthpiece is disposed on a second end of the housing enabling a user to inhale the medication in the tube.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a system and method for fallopian birth control that utilizes implantable devices that release botulinum toxin or similar acting substances to effectively prevent peristalses of the fallopian tube. The system includes an implantable device, a means for inserting, and an anesthetic. The implantable device is inserted through different methods and is permanent, removable, or degradable so that the process is reversable by recanalization. There is also a corresponding method for utilizing the system and method for fallopian birth control with a tactile device and a visual device.

Abstract: An inhaling device for heavy metal salts and a method of use thereof for medical treatment is provided. The device has a housing defining an interior volume. A mouthpiece is disposed at a terminal end of the housing. A slot is also disposed in the housing, wherein the slot is configured to receive a removably securable cartridge. The cartridge includes at least one heavy metal salt in a solution. Upon securement of the cartridge into the housing, the mouthpiece is in fluid communication with the solution. A battery powered heating element is disposed in the interior volume of the housing, wherein the heating element is in thermal communication with the cartridge when the cartridge is secured within the housing. In use, a user can heat the solution via the heating element and inhale the solution via the mouthpiece.
