How do you lower serum CO2 levels?
I've read haidut's posts on acetazolamide and thiamine, which inhibits carbonic anhydrase, keeping CO2 from being converted to bicarbonate.
But what if I want to lower serum CO2 levels? Any ideas?
I don't want to entertain metabolizing fat over sugar. And I don't want to down-regulate my metabolism by using less efficient metabolic pathways such as glycolysis , aerobic or anaerobic.
I want to lower serum CO2 levels so that oxygen wouldn't be as readily released by hemoglobin. This way, lower serum CO2 could lead to less oxygen being released to the issues.
I feel that this is an alternative to my body having to constrict my blood vessels, in order to throttle oxygen usage by the tissues. This is leading to increased blood pressure, which is the result of the constriction.
The reason my body is throttling oxygen usage is because , to my understanding, it wants to create hypoxic conditions that favor the production of uric acid, which the body deems necessary to counter oxidation from my lead toxicity.
