Mauritio

Does Mercola use Georgia for advertising now ?

Thanks for pointing out that Mercola includes a photo of Georgi on the image. I thought that Georgi's facial photo was just an indication the he is on the Mercola team. I do not recognize the other people from just their photo.

@DavidPS Seems phishy if he did it without his permition.

@DavidPS Great interview.
Mercola is a lucky man to be receiving this pot o gold.

Jaffe

Does he actually let Georgi talk this time or is he using him as a soundboard like usual?

@DavidPS the guy in the top left (glasses, ginger hair) is Dr Scott Sherr, he pushes products from Troscriptions and a big proponent of Methylene Blue.
Guy in the bottom left, looks familiar, can’t remember his name though.

Ismail

@Jaffe he keeps interrupting and breaking Georgi’s “flow” somewhat ‍️

Thanks for identifying another face in the image.

I suspect that he has Georgi's permission. Georgi can stop being interviewed if he does not like it. Mercola would not do that until he has pumped the well dry.

Regina

@Jaffe of course he interupts to correct Georgi and insert his dominance.

@DavidPS part stood out at 50 mins about carboxylation as another need for co2 so proteins can activate / function
so more than effects on releasing oxygen from hemoglobin , also needed for many more proteins, enzymes and hormones like insulin being different in presence or absence of co2, ray on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQqMcnAkMKg#t=1m20s (other stuff sticks to them instead when not enough co2 around, lose function)
"everything in your body is different when its well saturated with co2, you cant suffer the side effects of diabetes for example if your proteins are well protected [by co2]" So a protective & activating molecule
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4ms_bIMZyc

And oxygen use is more effective with co2
"In the heart when you increase the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood you increase the actual amount of oxygen in the heart, but more important than that it delivers it in the optimum way. It makes the oxygen go to the right places in the heart because it's having the same effect on the heart proteins that it has on the hemoglobin. And it retracts the electrons so the oxygen doesn't stick where it shouldn't. The electrons go directly to the oxygen down the electron transport chain and the electrons are prevented from deviating and getting off and attacking the polyunsaturated fats, which is what causes the bad oxidation that people take antioxidants for"

CO2 saved my life, quite literally. I would be dead now if not for Buteyko study and application. One of the reasons I began taking Dr. Peat seriously was his discussion of CO2 and his appreciation that it is not a waste product.

I do think that breathing exercises can become part of a lifestyle as opposed to using drugs or supplements to boost CO2, and that doing so has more dividends in health than any other intervention I can think of.

@cs3000 - Thanks for pointing out the importance of Ray Peat's thoughts.

@Ecstatic_Hamster - I have been playing with slowing my breathing in accordance with this video linked below.
