Fountain of Youth?
A new invention worth watching:
Funny, I thought Nitric Oxide was an Evil Pollutant, one of those Taboo Substances that we must Eliminate From The Planet [pbuh] At All Costs. If this CVAC thing turns out to be effective, it will be interesting to watch the aging Boomers struggling with the cognitive dissonance between a longer life and their idiotic fascistic Cargo-Cult Religion of Global Warming. ¶ 6:46 AM
CVAC, or Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning, is a podlike device that raises and lowers air pressure and oxygen concentration.
The pressure changes alternately compress and decompress the body. The periods of reduced oxygen and air pressure cause the body to produce more red blood cells, said Allan Ruszkowski, president and chief executive of the company.
Nitric oxide is the underlying cause of many beneficial effects that experimental studies attribute to the CVAC device.
The CVAC device's most immediate use is for conditioning athletes, but it's also being explored as a way of treating insulin-resistant diabetes and may even counteract aging-related diseases. Ruszkowski said.
"In the beginning, it sounds wacky: You take people and put them inside of a chamber and take them up to 22,000 feet in simulated altitude and bring them back to sea level in two seconds," Ruszkowski said.
"People have said, wait a minute, if this thing really works the way it might, this is a trillion-dollar market. It could eliminate all the diseases associated with aging, like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, infertility."
