Is there any particular benefit to bag breathing, or does breath holding do the exact same thing?

If someone manages to get a flow regulator and a nasal cannula for use in administering CO2 I would be careful to not set the flow above 1liter. Every liter is equal to 3-4% CO2 depending on the rate and depth of the breaths. I'm not aware of Peat ever mentioning any CO2 above 5-7% inhalation as being beneficial. Personally I think bag breathing, breath holds and even CO2 or baking soda bathing would be the safer choice. Although it is exceedingly rare with healthy lungs people can over do it on CO2 especially if attempting to breath it directly from a 100% CO2 source such as a tank. I plan on getting a tank myself and I really appreciate the value of CO2 but I also respect the power of this substance to potentially cause problems in unnaturally high amounts. I'm the last one to be fear mongering but CO2 optimization should always be taken slow (IMO).himsahimsa said:You know those things people who use oxygen wheel around with? There is a thing that goes under the nose and there must also be a regulator made specifically for that whole setup. It might be fittable to a CO[sub]2[/sub] tank (or not) and the nose thing would be more consistent and less wasteful than blasting the gas at your face with a nozzle.
Of course, full body sounds pretty good. I was thinking bathing in a sodium bicarbonate solution and periodically dumping in a cup or so of vinegar to drive CO[sub]2[/sub] off the sodium and into the water.
Just speculating.
