"Carbon dioxide is powerfully involved in the regulation of both sodium and calcium.. It is apparently one of the essential factors in preventing edema.” — Ray Peat
“For all patients in this series, the carbon dioxide therapy has brought clinical benefits in terms of decreasing edema, pain, and improving joint mobility (Table 2). The reason is the effects of carbon dioxide therapy on the microcirculation and oxygenation of the tissues altered by surgery or trauma. The administration of CO2 improves arterial blood flow and increases the tcPO2 in ischemic tissues, thanks to the Bohr effect [6].”
“A study of the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on carrageenan inflammation in rats showed significant changes in the volume of limb edema and rectal temperature after its administration... reaction). Edema can be described as a two-phase reaction: the early phase lasts for an hour and includes the production of histamine and bradykinin, while the late phase is accompanied by neutrophil infiltration. CO2 as monotherapy inhibited both phases of edema, although more the first.“
Note the lady has her body but not her head in the CO2 bag. Inhaling pure CO2 can be fatal!
