These oxygen-reducing devices are called “high altitude masks” or “respiratory trainers.”

From the study:

“Healthy young adults (N = 24) completed an IH protocol entailing 12 alternating 5-min normoxic (PETO2 = 100 mmHg) and hypoxic (PETO2 = 50 mmHg) intervals that were normocapnic and isocapnic, and on a separate day completed a time-matched normoxic control protocol.”

So five minutes with the mask, five minutes without, for an hour, in all, for the benefit.

“They studied a technique called intermittent hypoxia, a method that temporarily reduces the amount of oxygen a person breathes, then restores it to normal, repeating the cycle over a 60-minute session.”

They’ve just described sleep apnea.

Re: "When oxygen levels drop, the body responds by increasing blood flow to the brain and enhancing its ability to extract oxygen more efficiently."

Recalling 8th Grade Biology...

At any given time, 50% of the blood in your body is located in your head and neck.

This would seem contraindicated by the consequences of chronic sleep apnea.

The members of the COVID mask cult voluntarily performed this experiment on themselves, and they definitely didn’t get smarter as a result.

This is the kind of quackery I would expect out of Canadians.

In fact, this is EXACTLY how an obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patient has a stroke at age 45.

The brain's blood vessels are exquisitely sensitive to hypoxia.

Periodic hypoxia causes the vessels to dilate -> return to normal size -> dilate -> return to normal size.

OSA patients do this every night, all night, while sleeping.

So the lining of the brain's blood vessels (called the intima) tears because of the repeated stretching and returning to normal size.

This reveals the subendothelial layer to circulating platelets, which are designed to plug leaks and initiate clotting.

Which then leads to strokes.

OSA patients have about a 10-fold risk of stroke. So they get them young, as a part of the overall package.

Good News: CPAP or BiPAP machines correct this and are lifesaving. And after a while (maybe a month) the heart, vessels, brain, etc., go back to normal.

Leaving the patient time to work on weight loss, etc., which is usually the underlying cause of the OSA.
