"Then, because the rapid, shallow breathing expels too much carbon dioxide, the blood's pH level drops, triggering an alarm from the brain stem that causes muscles to constrict even more. (This is why breathing into a paper bag stops us from hyperventilating: it forces us to rebreathe the carbon dioxide.) Living with panic means avoiding anything that might set off another frightening episode. You withdraw into an emotional fetal position, and the fear leads to a desperate need for control—whatever is necessary to maintain a stable and safe environment." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"The final products generated by this metabolic trash collection are carbon dioxide (C02) and water. carbon dioxide is released when we exhale. Some of the water is also exhaled, and the rest is transported by the blood to the kidneys to be excreted as urine. Not all of the oxygen is converted to CO2 and water during mitochondrial respiration. Some oxygen—about 2 to 5 percent—is turned into toxic molecules, called free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS)." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Sparkling water is made bubbly by dissolved carbon dioxide gas, which can occur naturally in subsurface water or be added later. (The gas in most "naturally sparkling" waters, such as Perrier and Saratoga, is drawn off at the spring and reinjected during bottling.) Still water can be carbonated with either natural carbon dioxide (Poland Spring Sparkling fizzes its Maine water with carbon dioxide mined in Colorado) or manufactured carbon dioxide, which is what Canada Dry Club Soda uses. The difference? Natural carbon dioxide usually produces longer-lasting bubbles." - Earl Mindell and Hester Mundis, Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food (Get the book.)

"Certain fungi, in particular '"white rot" fungi, can degrade insecticides, herbicides, pentachlorophenol, creosote, coal tars, and heavy fuels and turn them into carbon dioxide, water, and basic elements. Fungi occur in every environment on Earth and play very important roles in most ecosystems, including the internal ecosystem of the body. Along with bacteria, fungi are the major decomposers in most terrestrial and some aquatic ecosystems." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Venules and veins, unlike capillaries and arteries, are responsible for taking up the metabolic waste product carbon dioxide and carrying it toward the lungs. They basically carry "empty handed" blood, blood that has already off-loaded its nutrients and excessive protein and passed these into the connective tissues (the fluid surrounding the cells). The blood is now ready to return to the lungs to take up oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen molecules from the air. These four molecules make up all the amino acids in the body that are required for the building of cell proteins." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Oku'te (in Densmore, Teton Sioux Music) closes and carbon dioxide and any other usable molecules are separated from the air. What remains, along with the oxygen generated from the breakdown of carbon dioxide, is released back to the atmosphere as the stoma opens again and breathes out. This cycle is powered by sunlight; at night the plants rest, photosynthesis stops, the stomata are closed. But animal and bacterial respiration and fires do not stop when sunlight is not available; they continue to produce carbon dioxide. Earth's levels of carbon dioxide rise at night and lower during the day?" - Stephen Harrod Buhner, The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth (Get the book.)

"They can begin to turn blue-first in the extremities of their fingertips and lips-as their bodies run out of oxygen and congest with carbon dioxide. They often panic, and this heightens their sense of strangulation. As they fight for air, they often become drenched with sweat, to the point of dehydration. Unable to drink, their throats become parched, and this makes breathing even harder. Their chests heave and struggle against the oppressive lack of oxygen, as their muscles begin to burn and weaken. After hours of this, they can become utterly exhausted." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Where electricity is produced from coal—and most is—each CFL will cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,300 pounds over its lifetime. For information of CFLs, visit Panasonic's Web site (www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/bp_lighting/ default.asp). GE (www.GElighting.com) also has answers to frequently asked questions about CFLs. CFLs work best in light fixtures you tend to keep on for at least 15 minutes, and, of course, be sure to turn off standard light bulbs when lights aren't necessary. Your electricity bill will thank you! Insulation." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Still water can be carbonated with either natural carbon dioxide (Poland Spring Sparkling fizzes its Maine water with carbon dioxide mined in Colorado) or manufactured carbon dioxide, which is what Canada Dry Club Soda uses. The difference? Natural carbon dioxide usually produces longer-lasting bubbles. CLUB SODA AND SELTZER If you want carbonated water with no added frills (minerals or mineral salts), go for seltzer. It is filtered, carbonated tap water, period. Club soda is also filtered, carbonated tap water, but minerals and mineral salts are frequently added." - Earl Mindell and Hester Mundis, Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food (Get the book.)

"This increases the amount of carbon dioxide inhaled. Increased levels of CO2 levels in the blood lower the pH which causes depression of the nervous system and increased blood flow to the muscles. Some people may find this makes them dizzy and can have potentially harmful side effects such as passing out and injury. Swallowing sometimes helps hiccoughs, especially drinking water alone or with one's nose plugged. Psychological intervention such as distracting someone from their hiccoughs by concentrating on another task, such as counting backwards, may be helpful." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"The report also showed that ribose administration modulated blood glucose levels and that a certain amount of infused ribose was excreted as carbon dioxide in exhaled air, providing further evidence for the theory that ribose was a pentose phosphate pathway intermediate that could be converted to glucose in tissue. (See Table 6.1 on page 135.) TABLE 6.1. THE HISTORY OF D-RIBOSE 1944 Ribose metabolism to glucose first discovered. First indication of metabolic role outside genetic material." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"These emissions are composed of five gasses: nitrogen (N2), oxygen (02), carbon dioxide (C02), hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4). Nitrogen usually predominates, followed by variable concentrations of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane and very low levels of oxygen. Gas gets into our system by (1) production within the bowel and colon (which accounts for most) and (2) by swallowing air (which accounts for very little). As best we can figure out, most air What is swallowed comes out the way it went in-belched. _J The End is Near..." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"After two hours Nash measured the amount of carbon dioxide produced in each of the tubes; thereafter, he took periodic measurements for the next six weeks. When he compared the tubes containing the "held" solutions with the controls, he discovered that the solution held by the psychotics had marginally prevented the yeast from growing.22 Even deeply buried feelings might have an effect on people we purport to care about. In 1966, Dr. Scott Walker of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine conducted a study of alcoholics in the midst of rehabilitation." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "They are especially interested in the reaction of marine plants to global warming, as these plants are the primary shock absorbers of excess carbon dioxide. Algae provide oxygen and other benefits to plant and animal marine life. Algae offer a little wall of protection to the creatures of the sea from the worse excesses of man. I reconsidered my resistance to Acetabularia as a test subject. Algae might be critical to our survival. The health of most life in the seas depends on these lowly, single-celled creatures, and the seas, like the rain forests, represent the lungs of the Earth." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"There are fast and easy ways to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a classroom, which can tell you whether the ventilation is good or not. The level should be 800 ppm or less. Relatively simple tests can also be done to measure for certain chemicals, such as chlorine and formaldehyde. Sometimes, because of poor cleaning of the ventilation systems in schools, the problem is dust and molds, not chemicals. Other times, they put chemicals in the ductwork while cleaning, which really causes trouble because the chemicals then circulate throughout the school, causing illness." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"It was being kept alive courtesy of a small team of French scientists, who administered the right combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide, part of the type of state-of-the-art surgical technique used for heart transplants. In this instance, there was no donor or recipient; the heart had long been divested of its owner, a prime male Hartley guinea pig, and the scientists were only interested in the organ itself and how it was about to react." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "When we digest it, it is metabolized into carbon dioxide (C02) and water, plus the light stored from the sun and present in photosynthesis. We extract the C02 and eliminate the water, but the light, an electromagnetic wave, must get stored. When taken in by the body, the energy of these photons dissipates so that it is eventually distributed over the entire spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies, from the lowest to the highest. This energy becomes the driving force for all the molecules in our body." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Still water can be carbonated with either natural carbon dioxide (Poland Spring Sparkling fizzes its Maine water with carbon dioxide mined in Colorado) or manufactured carbon dioxide, which is what Canada Dry Club Soda uses.

"Two hundred years of burning fossil fuels and cutting down large tracts of forest has increased the atmosphere's carbon dioxide content from about 280 parts per million to over 350 parts per million. The influx of gases from human activity is paralleled by the growing influx of gases from nature, which is now largely triggered by human activity. In Siberia, an area of permafrost spanning a million square kilometers, the size of France and Germany combined, has started to melt for the first time since it formed at the end of the last ice age 11,000 years ago." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Flams is composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, oxygen and hydrogen. The odour of stools comes from sulphur compounds and additional stench comes from indole and skatole. The more bacteria in your gut, the more gas you make. If you eat a lot of sulphur-containing foods, you make more odour. Foods like cauliflower, broccoli, meat and eggs typically are offenders. Legumes produce quite a lot of gas in some. One question asked by many is why do some people not expel gas? It is a fact that everyone has this bodily function. It is socially inappropriate, but a fact of life." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Can we stop pouring carbon dioxide into the skies, or do we love our energy-hungry lifestyle too much? Can we significantly reduce our use of fossil fuels, or are we too attached to our current technologies and to the comforts they bring? Can we stop acid rain? Or is the momentum of industrialization too great? Will we stop destroying the ozone layer? Or will a total ban on the offending chemicals be judged too "impractical," or come too late? What will it take for us to change the way we farm the land, to put as much in as we take out?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Another consequence of a planetwide fire would have been a sudden increase in carbon dioxide, perhaps triggering a greenhouse effect. Clues as to how such a fire may have started can be found in the high levels of iridium in this clay. Iridium is a rare element on Earth but is not so rare in meteors. This, along with the discovery that mineral grains in this layer show signs of intense shock, suggests that a large meteor, perhaps several miles in diameter, struck the earth ?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Using the energy of sunlight, they converted carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into energy-rich organic compounds. Since these simpler molecules were much more abundant than the sugars needed for fermentation, the new cells could survive in a greater variety of environments. A new degree of freedom had been reached. But this process had its own drawbacks. It produced oxygen as a waste product. To us, oxygen might seem a most beneficial gas, yet it is a very reactive chemical. Combining readily with many other substances, it can destroy many of the complex molecules on which life depends." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "The more carbon dioxide there is, the more heat is trapped by the "greenhouse effect," and the warmer the atmosphere becomes. Just how much warming is currently occurring remains unclear, and its full impact is still far from certain, but it could trigger changes that radically alter the course of life on E^arth." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"The process works by pumping carbon dioxide into a closed, temperature-controlled chamber under high pressure, which causes the gas to liquify. The liquified or supercritical gas then behaves as a very efficient solvent. Another development is the discovery that almost completely removing dissolved air from water, a process known as degassing, converts water into a very efficient detergent, even more efficient than soap ()(4). Not surprisingly, the multi-billion soap industry is hardly enthusiastic about these findings." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Deforestation, besides eliminating the planet's best defense against global warming—carbon-munching plants—also releases vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Losing these forests is suicidal. Sixty acres of rain forests vanish every minute. That's 32 million acres a year. One percent of African forests disappear annually. "The Amazon loses an area the size of New Jersey every year to clear-cutting and timbering," reports the The New York Times. Here in Borneo, it's muggy and overcast every day. An ominous brown cloud lingers over the entire island." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"They inhibit the cell's ability to use oxygen, which is required to burn foodstuffs to carbon dioxide and water. Of course, cells that are inhibited in completing their metabolic processes are likely to become cancerous. Trans fats also make the blood thicker by increasing the stickiness of platelets. This multiplies the chances of blood clots and the build-up of fatty deposits, which can lead to heart disease. Researchers at Harvard Medical School, who observed 85,000 women over eight years, found that those eating margarine had an increased risk of coronary heart disease." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
