Ivan, Do you know of Ray Peat? He has a website and some unorthodox ideas. He says that breathing O2 from an oxygen tank actually decreases oxygen. He also purports the CO2 theory, though I did not understand it them (and to be honest do not understand it now.) But since breathing O2 didn't work for me, I'm willing to give it a try. It seems that breath and water are so basic...if they can be adjusted to produce a better terrain, how fundamental. ~^^V^^~
