Breathing exercises and breath holds can also cause problems even when the stomach has no solid food. An increase in CO2 is a chemical trigger that causes mechanical effects (intensified peristalsis) and enhanced sensitivity of the immune system. Therefore, strong air hunger, long pauses, and large CO2 increases, all these factors can lead to intensive peristaltic waves that can destroy already inflamed villi. Here is an example.
A person with about 25 s for the current CP starts practicing an intensive breathing session and gets up to 35 or higher for final (or intermediate) breath holds while doing Buteyko reduced breathing with strong air hunger. This immediately causes unquenchable thirst and ear buzzing, with bloating and burping appeared later. Even though the final CP after the session is higher, the final heart rate, due to increased inflammation, also gets higher. Within 1 hour after the session, the CP drops to about 20-25 s. Later effects are increased urination, intestinal gas, greasy stool (with increased soiling), cold feet, poor mood, and many others. Why do these effects take place?
Since many people with digestive problems suffer from GI dysbiosis, abnormal GI flora in the gut, and biofilms in the small intestine, this sudden CO2 and CP increase leads to intensive peristalsis since the body tries to get rid of pathological content in the small and large intestines. This effect of strong peristalsis is generally beneficial: the gut tries to flush out pathogens and their toxins. Such positive reaction, in a form of diarrhea, takes place after, for example, food poisoning. Higher CO2 and CPs intensify this effect: you probably noticed that it is much easier to have a bowel movement with breath holds and reduced breathing. (In fact, instead of straining the abdominal muscles, any person should do reduced breathing to have an easier bowel movement.)
However, when the mucosal surface of the small intestine is inflamed and covered with biofilms, the damaged villi are weak. Intensive peristaltic waves can easily cause the villi covered with pathogens to be broken and wiped down along the GI tract. All these processes take place beyond the stomach and, as a result, broken villi cannot be digested and used by the body. Instead, these nutrients start to putrefy in the large colon, which, in such cases, is full of pathogens that will "enjoy" proteins and other nutrients from the broken villi in warm moist conditions of the large colon. This, in turn, will produce toxins in the blood, offensive smell before or during the next bowel movement, increased soiling, marks on the toilet, and other effects.
Such severe GI reaction due to breathing exercises occurs in students with existing GI damage due to colitis, Crohn's disease, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and some other conditions with biofilms on the lining of the small intestine.
Sometimes, the gut is so damaged that even a light reduced breathing with food in the stomach or the CP test on am empty stomach can cause a GI exacerbation.
How to prevent practicing reduced breathing with food in the stomach? One of the suggested solutions for such people is to practice humming through the nose immediately after meals while food is in the stomach. Humming was advocated by Dr. K. P. Buteyko as well.
Don't your fish come in vacuum seal bags? I keep mine in the little plastic seal vacuum bags and thaw them that way so the nutrients don't get diluted, is that not right?RRM wrote:overkees wrote:Yes, we want numbers, then we can be sure indeed
I always wipe dry-wet-dry-wet-dry because i just want to be clean,
taking into account that you cannot see the smallest remainders / bacteria, but they are there.
There is only soiling (no diarrhea) after eating too old eggs / ingesting water from thawed fish.
No, they (6 pieces) come in a plastic bag with air inside.panacea wrote: Don't your fish come in vacuum seal bags?
Compared to those whose diets contained <250 mg/day of choline, subjects whose diets supplied >310 mg of choline daily had, on average:
22% lower concentrations of C-reactive protein
26% lower concentrations of interleukin-6
6% lower concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha
Compared to those consuming <260 mg/day of betaine, subjects whose diets provided >360 mg per day of betaine had, on average:
10% lower concentrations of homocysteine
19% lower concentrations of C-reactive protein
12% lower concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha

But I didn't found much scientific.
Do you know more about this mTOR pathway RRM ?Eating excessive protein can be an additional synergistically powerful mechanism. When you consume protein in levels higher than one gram of protein per kilogram of LEAN body mass you tend to activate the mTOR pathway, which will radically increase your risk of cancers. It is very easy to consume excess protein and my guess is that most people reading this are. I know I was, and as a result of this new insight I have reduced my protein intake by about half.
mTOR stands for "mammalian target of rapamycin"Do you know more about this mTOR pathway RRM ?
