Medical students and anyone else learning about cellular metabolism in university are taught that carbon dioxide is a "waste product,' but nothing could be further from the truth. A high level of carbon dioxide in the body is evidence that your cells are metabolizing properly. Without adequate CO2, blood flow is stunted, oxygen use by cells halts, and your metabolism fails.
Mark Sloan wrote: Russian doctor Konstantin Buteyko was an elite scientist engaged in research to answer: What are the physiological and biochemical differences between a person who is healthy and a person with disease?
After collecting data from hundreds of different patients over the course of many years, Buteyko made what was undoubtedly the most revolutionary discovery in the history of medicine: All people suffering from chronic diseases are deficient in carbon dioxide.
Dr. Buteyko found that people who had optimal levels of carbon dioxide never suffered from any chronic diseases - and the greater the deficiency of carbon dioxide a person had, the worse their overall level of health.
For the record, the medical norm of carbon dioxide concentration in the human body is around 5 percent (or 35-37mm Hg)
