I'm not sure if this the right category for this post but I just wanted to clarify a few things.
Just saw a tweet and read a few posts here about CO2 and the Buteyko method. I think there are many misunderstandments about it and they way CO2 affects respiration.
I have a morning CP of 60s , my temperature during last week was at 98-99.
So, here's my perspective.
If you produce more CO2 without increasing your tolerance, you WILL hyperventilate and remove it from your blood.
The idea with the Buteyko method is to slowly adapt your chemoreceptors to tolerate more CO2 in the blood, by slightly increasing H+ during the breathing exercises or physical exercise.
I don't see how simply raising your carb intake can result in more CO2. It can result in a higher etCO2 measurement, that's for sure, but the basal amount will remain the same.
