Cure allergies with carbon dioxide

US scientists propose a new, very simple method to combat allergies: breathing with carbon dioxide.

According to the Daily Mail , researchers at Crayton University in Nebrasca (USA) are experimenting with an allergy treatment with CO ₂ on 348 volunteer patients, year-round runny nose and chronic choritis. steamed.

Half of these patients were provided with small gas cylinders containing high-pressure carbon dioxide (group 1) and the other half - identical gas cylinders containing only atmospheric compressed air (group 2).

The participants were then pumped into the nasal cavity in the bottle in different doses and at different intervals, from 10 seconds, in small doses, to 30 seconds, in large doses.

The results showed that all people in group 1 after 30 minutes of testing, allergies (such as itching, sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms showing allergies) have decreased. Meanwhile, group 2 also decreased (due to placebo effect) but not significantly.

Scientists explained that carbon dioxide has prevented the release of canxitonin , which is considered to be involved in causing allergic development.
