I work in the medical field, I'm not taking anything here into account, I'm taking my medical knowledge and years of caring for people into account. I've worked with epileptic and asthmatic people and know all about hypoxia. I'm not being contradictory.
I am struggling to understand? How do these - asthma and seizures - relate in the way you say they do in comparison to what happens when a person becomes hypoxic after consuming 25 grams of sodium nitrite?
Hypoxia in seizures? Are you thinking of the tiny blood vessels in certain specific areas of the brain that have vasospasms during the seizure activity? Or, the loss of a gag reflex and resulting obstructed airway which leads to hypoxia and elevated CO2 (hypercapnic). Irregular breathing to cause hypoxia? This is not at all the same as what happens to cause hypoxia after consuming sodium nitrite.
You know of people who were conscious and aware during the convulsions of their seizure activity? Consciousness is totally lost and nonexistent during the time when convulsions are occurring during seizures... Is that not correct?
How does asthma compare to the hypoxia which occurs after the consumption of sodium nitrite? The airways are restricted in asthma and may lead to hypoxia.. The problem of the airway being restricted causes a build-up of CO2 to set off the hypercapnic alarm to cause the panicky feeling of suffocation and air hunger during an asthma attack. I do not see much of a correlation between this and sodium nitrite, for with what is happening in the body?
Are you able to explain this a little better? It makes no sense to me with how you are attempting to relate seizures and asthma to the global hypoxic state that happens after a person consumes 25 grams of sodium nitrite.. and the possibility of consciousness being maintained during the time of convulsions?
I would not think of comparing carbon monoxide poisoning to asthma or epilepsy...
However, I would compare the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning to the effects of sodium nitrite poisoning all day every day...
If you can explain? I am genuinely curious how you came up with these conclusions based on medical knowledge, specifically as to asthma and epilepsy being compared to sodium nitrites effect on the body, and hemoglobin losing its ability to carry oxygen to the cells?
