There is something about not having the respiratory laying flat on your mouth. On your lips. For me, that is quite enough reason to want that dead space. Anyway ...

Air moves through the anatomical dead space, but no gas exchange takes place - so it is called dead space. Having dead space has benefits 👇. Physiological dead space is anatomical plus alveolar dead space. If you get lung disease, your alveoli may everything.explained.today/Dead_space_(ph…

not function....and become dead space. AKA the alveolar dead space may increase dramatically. Which means your alveoli, where oxygen and CO2 exchange happens? Don't function as well.

Hear me plainly. The dead space of an N95 is far better than the dysfunctional alveolar dead space that comes with both severe COVID - and LongCovid 👇. Which makes every breath of every day more difficult. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…

N95 Dead Space - Always Better Than Alveolar Dead Space. I am sure I am forgetting something....check back tomorrow for an update from some of the very smart people who follow me! (Plus I may have worded something wrong as it is 6 am.)

Here's another one to look out for. Someone this morning said, "it's another one with leg problems, there are so many with leg problems". And there are. There really are.

Hmmm so public health has spent at least 20 years deliberately lying about the mode of transmission of many reparatory diseases. This lie is/was so prevalent that the vast majority of people never questioned it, even when there were actual inquiries held that proved it during

NIOSH actually has a blog entry that discusses extended use. TLDR; Step away and take a break if you are feeling any of the symptoms that can occur. They also mention using a PAPR - albeit N95s are preferred for communication. As a clean air advocate, blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-…

peer pressure plays a big role in not using a PAPR. That blog was in June 2020. For some reason, they chopped the comments and questions off of the bottom, but here- scroll ⬇️ web.archive.org/web/2022010610… Dr. Williams of NIOSH is a steely-eyed research physiologist who lays it out.

For example, Roberge (2010) and Lim (2006) are often brought up. Dr. Jon Williams, "We would like to emphasize that an increase in CO2 does not make wearing a mask problematic–it may provoke some symptoms in some people that might be uncomfortable.

As was pointed out in the blog, the solution is to remove the mask in a safe place and breathe normally for a few minutes to exhale the extra CO2." Dr. Williams is then asked about a pretty widespread brochure by Russell Blaylock, dated May 2020. factcheck.afp.com/misleading-art…

Blaylock is just another "COVID - nothing to see, but my supplements" no longer practicing doctor. Another silly piece. medpagetoday.com/special-report… Anyway, someone in the comments asked about the antimasking brochure. And Dr. Williams systematically went through it.

Our current HHS secretary's Robert F. Kennedy Jr antivaxxing and antimasking website has the brochure, but here is web archive because antivaxxer and antimasker disinformation specialists lie - and then delete things. Search for Blaylock - and it's there. web.archive.org/web/2025062413…

Should doctors reject new knowledge, or embrace it? Most doctors still believe the myths around COVID. My presentation gives you the evidence you need to embrace new knowledge and improve patient outcomes.

SARS-CoV-2 targets mitochondria. That’s not collateral damage - that’s a strategy. A July 2025 review in Redox Biology brings together striking evidence of viral mitochondriopathy in COVID-19 and Long COVID.🧵

Two new studies and the American Brain Foundation find that brain damage (brain fog) caused by SARS2 may be permanent and a link to Alzheimer’s by invading the central nervous system, damaging healthy brain cells via excess inflammation and increased amyloid plaque buildup.

Besides a PAPR or an elastomeric respirator, does anyone have a mask solution for sweating like with craniofacial hyperhydrosis? Someone DM'd me, and they will be watching replies here. Their mask gets soaked through in 5 minutes in certain conditions. Thank you in advance!

I am SICK and TIRED of posts about community going viral, being shared by thousands of people who don’t wear a mask. C’MON DUDES! You cannot be committed to community or care without a mask on your face in public spaces. When are you guys gonna get it??? I know you see this post!

Most people have no clue about the immune system… I’m going to be starting immune suppressant medication soon. My mom said she was “under the impression that only makes you more vulnerable to TB, and not other infections.” That’s not how the immune system works???
