    I appreciate what he is presenting, and the significance of it. However, the presentation ignores all the other factors in the body that play significant roles in the processing and utilization of food and how different foods influence the processes within the body. As a point, eating less, is very likely to trigger the body lowering the metabolic rate. Which just means your body will use less energy then you are ingesting. This is a very generic example, as there are numerous factors within it that play a role. Chronic stress interferes with everything productive within the body. Including metabolism, digestion, immunology, and hormone balancing.

    @thambohu this is the main components of what we inhale. Nitrogen 78.08% Oxygen 20.947% Argon 0.934% Carbon dioxide 0.0350% When we exhale, the amount of oxygen is decreased by 4-5%, which is the amount our lungs transfer to the blood; and the carbon dioxide increases 4-5%, which is being removed from the blood. The other gases do not get utilized by the lungs, unless you have a malfunction. So, that part of the presentation is relevant. It ties into the importance of excercise, as we will increase the amount of carbon dioxide we are exhaling.

    I've recently lost over 20 pounds and this really helps to explain it. Late at night, instead of snacking, I practice my golf swing, which makes me breathe heavier. Now it makes sense that standing still in my back garden and swinging clubs for a while is so healthy. I always walk a golf course, which yields about 7,000 steps over 9 holes, in addition to swinging clubs. All this breathing adds up.

It’s great at oxygenating but not so great at removing CO2. The high CO2 makes him unconscious but I’m going to ask the dr if we can get him to sit and maybe move his legs and get him moving…idk if it will work but I’m going to try it. We got to “MOVE IT MOVE IT” to stay alive! Blessings to all of you out there!

I just had him do simple movements in bed like just paddling his feet and I bent his knees to a 90 degree angle and do some air kicks also in bed. He was getting tired of laying down so long. Actually, they had a PT team come in and stand him up then sit in a chair for a few hours. Did wonders for him. This builds up the muscles around the diaphragm that help the lungs inhale/exhale. It worked! He’s off the machine! Praise God! Ah, I also massaged his feet and legs and held his hand. Cannot underestimate the power of touch!

    He does a good job in the beginning explaining the chemistry into very simple components of the 5 elements. He talks about carbon dioxide as a by-product of metabolism but doesn't talk at all about the rate of metabolism. He assumes everyone has the same rate of metabolism. Granted he needs to simplify. But the metabolic rate is important to talk about. A high metabolic rate is more important than eating less. It uses more calories and provides more energy. And rather than eat less, one has to improve one's metabolism so that it produces more energy to support his health, and not only health, but his development. Energy made is used first to support immediate needs in support of his survival, the extra is used to build his immunity and to repair and/or replace/rebuild tissues and organs, and when there's still energy left, it goes toward development in intelligence and in appearance - the brain, the skin, and hair. When the author says to eat less, he is only thinking about losing or maintaining a normal weight, but he isn't concerned about fully developing the individual.

    Ruben Meerman does the intestines not, to an extent regulate the sugar absorbed into the blood also the selective absorption in the kidneys. I’m sure not a lot but maybe enough to offset the calculation?

    K 1 second ago I'm a Texan and was introduced to all of it in fourth grade. Private schools do a much better job here. Public schools across the U.S. are often educating their kids according to the slowest kid in the room, but it depends on the socioeconomic level of the neighborhood/district. Rich kids in public schools rely on tutoring as to not slow an entire class down. Poor kids (usually in the cities or very poor rural areas) in public schools have little help at home and tutoring is rare. (stereotypically).

    Wow I heard about this many years ago. A new study had found that the secret to weight loss was actually breathing. At that time I wondered that the fact that we exercise more makes breathe more and more deeply was what actually made the quicker weight loss happen but I never heard anything about it again so I thoguht it was just one of those new fad theories. This explains it perfectly, it's great. It's much easier to control what you put in your body once you understand the mechanisms of biochemistry. Really good

    When we experience trama, even drama, our breathing is affected. Often we end up holding our breath at some point as a reflex to get through the traumatic situation. We clench as a result and hold ourselves up with our muscles or soft tissue rather than our natural skeletal, ligament, muscle combination. Then muscle memory gets linked to the situation and our body can get triggered by many things and we subconsciously return to what got us through the original episode and the loop of PTSD kicks in. Self medicating is often part of traumatic situations, which makes the recovery harder.

One omission at MINUTE 10:10 regarding the essential elements [minerals] in human nutrition. Fluorine is not essential in human metabolism. Forgotten were boron [essential for bones / teeth], cobalt [B12; enzyme catalyst] and silicon [for connective tissue in the form of organic silica, e.g., monoorthosilicic acid, monomethylsilanetriol].
