Reader says I’m "crazy" and have "gone off the deep end" for saying people breathe too much air

Blazing Reader,

Well, I didn’t receive nearly as many nasty emails after my recent post where I reiterated my stance that cloth face masks DO NOT deprive the body of oxygen. The first time I did this my inbox was bombarded with profanity from hyperventilating anti-maskers. Sadly, they are only supporting the false accusation that we who oppose the mask are “anti-science.”

For example, here’s one message I did receive from someone who doesn’t seem to believe in scientific debate (though was nice enough not to swear at me):

“Masks… DO deprive you of oxygen”

Thanks, for capitalizing “DO.” That was all the evidence I needed to change my opinion.

Has this person ever used an oximeter? Did he watch my video of me running up and down a hill with a mask on and my mouth taped shut without any drop in blood oxygenation levels? Yes, masks deprive your LUNGS of a little oxygen, but not your BLOODSTREAM.

The lungs hold an excessive amount of air with each breath. How could a thin piece of cloth make any significant difference? Even when running you don't use all the oxygen inhaled. We are not that fragile. We'd have been extinct long before mask mandates if our respiration system had such a small buffer zone.

“[Masks also] increase your CO2 levels…”

Did this person even read my post? Yes, of course, they raise CO2. That's a good thing. Most people's blood CO2 levels are less than half what they should be for optimal health. It’s a medical condition called hypocapnia (Latin for “low smoke”). CO2 is a muscle relaxant which dilates blood vessels and increases blood circulation to every organ in the body.

“[Masks] concentrate germs which you then breathe in. They are a sign of compliance and obedience for stupid people being subjected to a global psy-op by Globalist Criminal Cartel types. They are particularly harmful to growing children…”

Yes, yes, yes, I agree. My novel, Much Ado About Corona, exposes all of this. Masks have many harms… but directly lowering oxygen in the bloodstream is not one of them. Claiming that masks lower oxygen is only discrediting us and making us look crazy.

But, no, apparently I’m the crazy one for actually testing masks with an oximeter, studying human respiration and sticking to objective reality…

“People breathing too much air?! Are you crazy? You've gone off the deep end, especially for someone who wrote a book on the Covid Crime Against Humanity in a novel form.”

I doubt this person has ever read a single scientific book or study on respiration. He probably has no idea what the Bohr Effect is — discovered in 1908, you can look it up on Wikipedia. It shows how CO2 is necessary for hemoglobin to release oxygen into your tissues and organs — organs like your brain…

The reader concludes by finally providing an actual argument to back up his insulting rant:

“If nature wanted us to breathe less, it would have already taken care of it.”

So much for science. Fine, let’s talk “nature”… But I’m out of time today. We’ll get into what nature does to people who breathe too much and how Indigenous cultures intuitively knew this.

While you hold your breath in anticipation, I’d encourage everyone to buy and read The Breathing Cure by Patrick McKeown before calling me or him “crazy” or accusing us of going “off the deep end.” It’s available through my shop: https://blazingpinecone.com/shop/the-breathing-cure/

PS On a open-minded note, Mary O’Conner MD the famous Ontario doctor who was nearly thrown in prison for writing mask exemptions, read my post and said: “I definitely learned some new facts tonight!... and... they were not taught in med school. Thank you, Mary OC.”

PPS The medical system has worked very hard to suppress information about chronic over-breathing and its effect on health. Check out The Breathing Cure for all the evidence you need to stop hyperventilating and experience superior health: https://blazingpinecone.com/shop/the-breathing-cure/
