Author of The Oxygen Advantage, world-renowned Buteyko breathing instructor Patrick McKeown writes about a simple, free and little-known way to prevent and recover from a SAR-COV-2 infection:

“While the spread of a new killer virus seems ultimately terrifying, this is not the first time a new respiratory illness has hit the headlines. One positive outcome of this is that much relevant research already exists.

“Scientists have previously highlighted the importance of nasal breathing in preventing the spread of infections, indicating that where face masks fail, the nose may provide a natural filter for dangerous pathogens. It is relatively obvious that the nose filters, warms and humidifies air on its way into the body, whereas mouth breathing does not, but there is more to the nose than you might realize.

McKeown then goes on to explain how nitric oxide is produced in the nasal cavity when we inhale through the nose. This natural-forming gas seems to offer far more protection for the lungs than the world’s current obsession with masks and hand sanitizer:

“Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the paranasal sinuses – a group of four air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity. This means that by breathing through the nose, we harness various properties of NO including its pathogen-killing powers.

“NO is understood to be a vasodilator – it plays a role in the dilation of the blood vessels in the lungs so that oxygen can be properly absorbed from the air.

“But according to a 1999 paper by scientists Lundberg and Weitzberg, another biological function of nitric oxide is the effect it has on the growth of various pathogens, including viruses. What this tells us is that nitric oxide in the nasal airways could represent an important first line of defense against infection.”

I’ve long been a student of Patrick McKeown’s research and writings. I highly recommend you read his article, Is Nasal Breathing Your First Line of Defense Against Coronavirus? Share it with friends and ask the question: Why is such evidence-based, life-saving and simple information not being broadcast by the WHO and all those proclaiming that our safety is their number one concern?
