Yes, yes, you get.
Just doing that, that vibration releases much more nitric oxide, which goes to your lungs and goes into your blood.
This is one of the most essential molecules to the body, especially for oxygen delivery.
And most of us are deficient in it, which is why there's all these crazy supplements and stuff out there now.
Did not want to do this.
Tried to get a bunch of other people to do this.
We wanted to get a study done with about 50 people, break them up into two groups, 25 controls, 25 who were going to do it.
The rhinologist, the chief rhinology expert at Stanford, Jayakar Nayak, laughed at that.
A, it would cost a million dollars.
The other thing he said was that it would be unethical for him to conduct that study knowing all the damage this would cause someone just to be a mouth breather.
So he allowed us to use his lab.
We still had to pay for the experiment for two people.
That was the max amount allowed.
And for 10 days, we put silicone in our noses and we're mouth breathers.
A lot of people say, oh, this is like a supersize me stunt.
But if you look at the amount of people chronically mouth breathing, especially people with chronic congestion, I did not view it that way.
I viewed it as I'm putting myself into the place of
of such a huge percentage of the population that does not realize they're doing this and does not realize the damage they're doing to themselves.
So it's 10 days of forced mouth breathing followed by 10 days of nasal breathing as often as we could.
We compared datasets from that and everything we thought was going to happen, happened.
