There are plenty of credentialed people who do not know much or use their credentials to scam people, so it really does not matter. If I posted my credentials everyone would just believe me because of my credentials. I want the ideas to stand on their own.
If you do not understand nutritional science you should not believe anyone, and I am not advising anyone take anything and I am not writing for the lay person.
- throwaway_pdp09 7y ago> If I posted my credentials everyone would just believe me because of my credentials Credentials count for something, not everything, as you pointed out. But they suggest a good starting point. So please do post yours. > If you do not understand nutritional science you should not believe anyone That completely defeats the point of having experts, so I disagree. Experts exist so I don't have to spend 1/4 of my life becoming one in their area (so I become one in mine instead). > and I am not writing for the lay person Yes you are, this is a forum of lay people when it comes to nutritional science (although it's not nutritional science you're talking about, more biochemistry or something like that. Difference being 'eat 5 a day and cut down the salt' and knowing the details of serotonin denaturing by MAOI-B (or is it -A?)) I'll follow yer other stuff up tomorrow, when I'm sober. Alcohol dehydrogenase FTW.
- podgaj 7y agoI am writing here, where there are lay people, but I am still not writing for lay people. And I am not giving up credentials because if you worked in academia you would know why. No one is an expert on the nutrigenomics of COVID19, not even me. Again, I am talking hypothesis, not theory or practice. No one needs to be credentialed to have a hypothesis but just be prepared to have it questioned. Old nutritional science was "cut out the salt", but it is going in a different direction.
- andarleen 7y agoKeep writing. Layperson here and I doubt taking in more black tea, zinc, and eating beetroot will harm anyway. Also it appears to make sense that increasing the amount of a molecule that allows for better circulation, and thus more oxygen flowing, could potentially help.
- podgaj 7y agoActually it could be bad. I AM JUST TALKING. It could be that increasing NOS at the wrong time might make it harder to get oxygen. It might be beneficial at the begining of the infection but bad if you already have pulmonary vasodilation. There is a huge blood pressure drop when things get bad so more NO might make it worse. But thanks.
- throwaway_pdp09 7y ago> It could be that increasing NOS at the wrong time might make it harder to get oxygen Then FFS STOP TALKING! Useful advice is only useful if it's useful. If it's not useful (AKA 'just talking') it's useless. Unless it has another purpose, which I am starting to suspect is to make you feel good. I don't mind informed speculation but this is not how you are presenting it. If you admit you don't know if it could be beneficial or harmful, why are you spouting it here?
- podgaj 7y agoI was not giving advice. You are taking it as advice. That is stupid. Talking is by no means useless, what an odd thing to say!
- andarleen 7y agoGotcha - well either way I am not going to experiment on myself with the gas, but as i said, drink black tea instead of coffee and add beetroot to my diet. I think presenting both pros and cons of an idea is a must in any debate.
- andarleen 7y agoA doctor told me this when i relayed your comments: They noticed: “oxygen does not enter molecules because of virus toxins, and instead of capturing 4 molecules the hemoglobin only captures one”. He did not have an opinion on wether nox can have a benefit but indeed it appears that people can breathe but the oxygen is not delivered. Very interesting.
