Hi!
i hope that after all this time, someone will give me an answer.. article is great, but i still have a few questions.. what if you did not breathe pure oxygen but air with more oxygen in it than it´s now.. for example if earth start to produce more oxygen a we started to breathe it.. what we be longer awake a more hyperactive or something, or quicker thinking or it would same as now (cause in article was written that that Doc added 5% of Co2 into oxygen and all side effects disappeared)
what if you where astronaut on ISS and you´ve been there few year and here it would just all change and he came back, it would be affecting him? (it´s just example, for you to understand what im trying to ask)

it would be great if you knew answer or knew someone who would know that or some forum where could i ask that and get an anwer

thanks!

PS: sorry if it´s chaotic.. im writing it in a big rush and english is not even my primar language :D

Damn prescient, Jason.

7 years later, a hospital is about to begin attempting almost the very technique you suggest at the end: replacing the patient’s blood—all of it—with cooled saline, to give surgeons enough time to repair otherwise lethal structural damage.

That is what we said in the sixties about bottled water in stores.

So, this artivle being more than a year old now, does anyone know if there are any new developments on the topic?
The Newsweek link doesn’t work anymore, and I wasn’t able to find anything else on the net.
So was this a faulty experiment that was published prematurely, or is the matter still under investigation?

In reply to Tink and all of the others who are ranting about the enviroment:
Think about this; the survival of species is very fickle. According to Bill Bryson, author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, the commonly accepted estimate is that the earth has produced about 30 billion species [it has been put as high as 4 trillion by some sources]. If I remember right, about 99.99% of all species are extinct. So next time someone cries out about ‘saving the whales’ and such, think this: in the overall sense, what does it matter if a few species die off. It’s called natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Nitrogen is for weenies. Give me acid dichloride

Isn’t the saying, “No one should be cold and dead until they are warm and dead?”

[quote]Nicki the Heinous said: “Are the people who climb Mount Everest using pure oxygen? If so, it would explain why so many people succumb to the altitude sickness and die. Perhaps an innovation for easier breathing for mountain climbers is on the way?”[/quote]

Actually, altitude sickness is caused by not getting enough oxygen as a result of the reduced atmospheric pressure at high altitude.

I just assumed that no one pointed it out because no one thought they needed to.

[quote]Claudia said: “Hang on, isn’t there an obvious point that has been missed? What about the BRAIN? If a patient is clinically dead, won’t many brain cells die and parts of the brain be irreversibly damaged, due to lack of circulation when the heart stops?”[/quote]

They aren’t really going to die THAT quickly, and anyway, what’s a few million neurons (or croutons) when I’ve got a billion more to spare?
