Speaking of nitric oxide...

[Guest guest]

Funny you mention NO2 in this context. I recently discovered that NO2 is

produced in the sinus/nasal cavities and mixes with O2 when we breath, but only

through the nose. The NO2 nourishes the cells more completely than just oxygen

from mouth-breathing, which can cause all sorts of problems -- there's a great

article about this on WAPF

(www.westonaprice.org/healthissues/facial-development.html).

I also noticed that when I've been on the treadmill at the gym and check my

heart rate, the numbers go crazy up and down when I begin to breathe thru my

mouth, but stabilize and often go down when I return to nose-breathing. Could

there be a connection with this NO2 deficiency and atherosclerosis? Do we all

just need to breathe through our noses when we exercise (as well as dietary

changes)?

" Also, and perhaps more importantly, oxidized LDL inhibits

nitric oxide synthesis, and nitric oxidie inhibits the formation of

atherosclerotic plaques at nearly every point. "

Nitric oxide (NO) should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), a

general anesthetic, or with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which is a

poisonous air pollutant.... was talking about NO, and it looks

like the WAPF article you referenced was as well. Just FYI.

Oops, my bad! I definitely meant Nitric oxide (NO) that is produced in our sinus

cavities!

Thanks,
