Carbon dioxide is no joke.

My wife, who has suffered with chronic #rhinitis her entire life, has made great strides focusing on CO₂.

‣ 1/2 tsp of baking soda.

‣ Saline+CO₂ nasal spray.

‣ 150mg #benfotiamine.

Congested? You need carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide nasal sprays are a treatment for allergenic rhinitis.

CO2 calms the immune system.

B1 and carbohydrates - most important CO2 increasing nutrients.

Baking soda, bag breathing, thyroid can help too.

I've already ordered some benfotiamine.

Carbonate ions (an alkaline buffer) are different to dissolved CO² (acidic). The carbonate does react with acid to form CO² though.

I nearly lost consciousness when I filled a paper bag with concentrated CO² & breathed it in. My field of vision shrunk & I felt slightly high. That was when I stopped playing with my CO² levels beyond conscious & deliberate breathing.

I'm keen to understand how benfotiamine is so important to you but I think I'll just have to wait until it arrives.

Never breathe pure CO2.

For those interested in simulating very high altitudes, use a specialized co2 inhaler to control the ratio of O2:CO2.

I'm still new to it; currently doing very low % CO2 for only 5 mins a day.

Just one of the ways they kill lab mice - just saying.

Incidentally I spray CDS up my nose for relief when I'm hit with allergies.

This seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect & reduces the irritation.

I didn't get seasonal allergies this year but I get them when I'm cutting grass with a brush cutter. The grass irritates my skin when I handle it so it's no surprise that it irritates my sinuses when breathed.

Diluted CDS?

Nah but it does dilute over time as the CD gases off.

I've used the 3000 ppm stuff but it also works when it's at a half to a third this concentration.

I know it's not recommended but I also don't think CDS requires as much caution as people make out.

Activated MMS is another story.
