I’m already doing most of these things and I can affirm that with each one of these things I’m feeling better at 55 than I did at 45. I’m adding the humming and pray it gets even better
I found that Citruline was better than Arginine: with the A, I would get swimmy-headed if I over ingested it. With the Citrulline, I just pour it in my tea, and don't bother measuring.
1. Dr. Nathan Bryan, a nitric oxide scientist, reports that studies done on adding arginine supplements did not increase nitric oxide, and in some cases made the production worse. The body uses body-produced arginine for nitric oxide and supplementing can mess up the process. 2. Nitric oxide produced when nasal breathing and humming has a very short life, only seconds. So we can't stock up for the day by humming for 5 minutes once a day. We need to do small hums throughout the day. (from the book "Breath" by James Nestor). 3. There are cavity and other pathogen causing bacteria floating around the mouth. This bacteria is different than the innate bacteria biofilm that we want for good oral health and nitric oxide. Only one or two mouthwashes (chlorhexidine) kill both the pathogen bacteria and the innate bacteria. Most OTC mouthwashes kill only the pathogenic bacteria. The innate bacteria springs back almost immediately after any disturbance. Sipping water disturbs it, eating disturbs it, OTC mouthwashes disturb it, but it comes right back unless it's the rare wrong kind of mouthwash described above. Unfortunately, oil pulling can also remove too much of the beneficial bacteria. This is from a dentist who measures and has promoted healthy oral bacteria biofilm for decades: ruclips.net/video/dbydOM0OsfQ/видео.html

I love humming & believe it can heal. Humming at different octaves vibrates different areas of the body. Happy healing thyself!😊 Laughter, strong laughing oxygenated your body, how wonderful! When I go to the city, people often comment on my smiling. Most people in cities don't smile much. It's important to smile & complement others. You just might make their day or save a life.😊
Just like to add that your gut health is extremely important to your overall health. When your gut microbiome and gut health are in a dysbiotic state, you will not break down nutrition for metabolic health adequately. It's important that your gut and oral microbiome health is in a state of high digestibility. If you have hyper intestinal permeability your body will be in a chronic inflammatory state, and the energy to repair and heal will be less as your body will be constantly fighting mild to moderate infections either from biotoxins or environmental toxins. Also, your liver is highly nutrient-dependent and in order to create or break down metabolic molecules for repair and healing .. your liver will need specific nutrients. Health is many things.. all of what she says, but importantly understanding that the foods you choose to put in your body are directly correlated to gut microbiome and the future person you want to become. Health can be a choice for MOST of us. If you want to create Nitric Oxide nuture the cells in your body adequately. I am an RDH,Bs, Certified Functional Nutritional Medicine Practitioner, and BCTN.

Good information, but I would just like to clarify for anyone looking for the humming note of 130 Hz. It is actually C3 (130.8 Hz). That is one octave below middle C (261.6 Hz). Middle C on the piano is named C4. "C1" as mentioned in the video is the lowest C note on the piano (32.7 Hz).
I've had stubborn high blood pressure for 30+ years, I'm 68, 6'1, 170lb. I was on Atenolol for 20+ years. I now play at lot of pickleball and found if I play like over 3hr my BP would drop to like 70/45 so my doc switched me to HCTZ which gave me headache and ringing ears. So I quit HCTZ, I'm now on Ashwagandha root powder (1/4 teaspoon) in 1/2 cup beet juice 2/day. My numbers seem to be holding steady at 135/80. I'm so excited that it's working.
I do the same things as you, except that I ride my bicycle up on the Mt. Tam instead of playing pickleball. I have read one of the most important things is to not use any fluoridated toothpaste, and never use mouthwash. Unfortunately around here the MMWD adds fluoride to our water, so I don't drink tap water here-haven't for the last 40 years or more. I don't even use fluoridated water to brush my teeth. I read that fluoride kills the bacteria in the mouth that goes down to the stomach to create nitric oxide, and that using fluoride is the very worst thing that anyone can do to their body. Worse than smoking or living in the city by far.
Beta blockers have lots of side effects. Increased blood sugar, increased hemocrit, and increased hemoglobin. Study your blood pressure info on line. I switched to a arb blood pressure med which decreases blood sugar, lowers hct, and decreases blood volume. Diuretic is Chlorthalidone also instead of htcz. Check your lab work also. I’m your age but have been on meds since I was 34 after the birth of my son. There are multiple classes of blood pressure meds. Beta blockers were probably only available way back then before new meds came on the market. I’m on valsartan now and worked with pharmacists to cross taper me off of lopressor onto this new drug. Goal is to get off totally. You’ve really got to advocate for yourself and research any drug your on.
Excellent video - Thanks. The only item I would disagree with is Arginine supplementation. Dr Bryan explains that shortage of Arginine is not the problem, but the conversion of Arginine. In fact, over supplementation can be an issue (according to papers he discusses). Not sure where he stands on Citrulline supplementation. He recommends stopping, statins, Fluoride in toothpaste etc. stop mouth washes and avoid anti-acid products. All these inhibit the production of NO.
Cal Esselstyn (Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease) is big on Nitric Oxide and endothelial integrity via nutrition and backs up exactly what you are saying; it is refreshing to hear a physician such as yourself articulate the wholistic way to optimise NO; thank you so much
Yes, however I do not remember Esselstyn talking about taking supplements of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline for the downstream effect to increase NO in the blood. And Esselstyn is even more strict with avoiding flouride, to use a water filter that removes even the low level flouride in water from the faucet.
Wow you didn't miss a beat! Not a single stutter or pause well done. All these years doctors have been telling me to avoid nitrates so I did and I developed afib Now I'm learning I actually need nitrates for vascular health. Thank you for this video.
Excellent news. I've had sinus conjestion constantly for decades along with 2 operations to remove polyps, then had a heart attack, I can now see the relationship between the two, thank you for the information.
@ Magicmoon I/we a 1000 tradesmen were inhaling Nitric oXide in Pulp Mill Emissions building a New Recovery Boiler next to the operating Pulp Mill @ Dryden Ontario! I discerned after when I ate Conventionally grown vegetables with Nitrate Fertilizer, ie; potatoes Or Chinese Greens my sinuses would be inflamed that evening and I'd suffer Sleep Apnea and Snoring! I'd suggest eating Organic vegetables, which you may be and see if sinus inflammation is still an issue!
The always overlooked, very underestimated supplement, "Black Elderberry" will probably help or eliminate that... *The immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties of this superfood make it a great natural remedy for allergy symptoms. The herbs known to remove excess mucus from the body called anti-catarrhals make this potent berry an effective medicine in clearing up runny noses, congestion, sneezing and itchy watery eyes associated with various sinus problems.
There's a book called breathe. Don't know the name of the author. I read it. It's all about deep breathing and building your carbon dioxide up in your body to get your mitochondria /atp up. It's pretty cool. Wim Hoff it even mentions that in the book. It's a good read too. Did it on vacation in 5 days
Yay! You're back! Your mention of L-Citrulline lead me down quite a fascinating rabbit hole about Dr. Ignarro's discovery that lead to a Nobel Prize. Amazing! Your videos are ultimately valuable, and so well made! Thank you!
@@danpan001 Nitric Oxide apparently has a very short half-life of just a few seconds. L-Argenine apparently gets converted to nitric oxide and has a longer half-life but still short in comparison to L-Citrulline, which, when used with a strong antioxidant, apparently gets convertrd to L-Arginine, in the body, and has an hours long half-life. So, after going down that research rabbit hole, I've chosen a combination of a couple grams L-Arginine, a couple grams L-Citrulline, and Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry) for my antioxidant. It seems to have an observable positive affect.
Thank you for this excellent video👍🏻 this was the first summer I grew beets in my garden , not only because I love them but also wanted to get more NO in my diet. I have been roasting them and I swear I can feel an increase in my energy.
One way to boost NO production that is often overlooked is to eat 'purple foods' - foods that contain anthocyanins. I call them 'purple foods', but they can be purple, red, magenta, or even black. Examples are blueberries, beets, black rice and hibiscus tea. With beets you get both nitrates & anthocyanins. There's also a lot of oxalate in beets so I would avoid things like beet juice and freeze dried beet chips. I passed a kidney stone after eating a few packs of beet chips over the course of a couple of weeks.
I read similar articles concerning beets and oxalates. One way to counter it is by taking vitamin C with your nitrate foods. I use a lemon in my beet, Arugula, spinach, radish smoothie. I’ve done this for ten years with no problems. Some of us are more sensitive to oxalates than others.
I don't understand how that would work since vitamin C also increases blood oxalate levels. Citrate from lemon could mitigate effects of oxalates, though. Lemon or no, I would not drink smoothies made out of beets, spinach or chard. Arugula is relatively low in soluble oxalates. Stones are no fun and can wreck kidney function over time. @@captainadams7569
A urologist said to eat something with calcium with the oxylate. That way the oxylate bonds with the calcium in you gut and never enters your bloodstream. Putting cheese on your spinach salad will do it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and I learned quite a lot. One book I would recommend that you read is called healing tooth decay and the only reason I recommended is because of a short reference you made to certain bacteria in our mouth causing tooth, decay, or causing cavities, I think you said. It’s not entirely untrue but there’s a lot more to the story than what we’ve been told. Also, the doctor author of the book goes into great detail on different aspects of diet and what types of diet are beneficial to our teeth and our bones. I think you will enjoy reading this book. Thanks for a wonderful video, signed new subscriber.
Awesome video on nitric oxide. Thank you, And future videos can be about beet roots and watermelon, why so? Watermelons is all about citruline. Beet roots and watermelon are comon in history for athletics especially marathon runners. Please stress on yellow watermelon which contained higher citruline concentration. Beautiful job done here. Thanks again.
I once took Citrulline (1200mg twice a day), but my Urea blood level went through the roof. So you might wanna check that before supplementing it long term. Since then, I converted back to supplementing Arginine only (1500mg per day) - Urea level is back to normal.
@@alexanderishere1857 First of all, it is important to know where the problem comes from. Many people do not drink enough water with minerals or salts. In the case of potassium, it helps to eliminate substances in the urine better. If you have a habit of eating sugar or a lot of carbohydrates, your pH will be more acidic and you will have more acidosis.
@@alexanderishere1857 Add a little lemon juice to your water and it will help alkalize your pH. But if you eat a lot of sweets, you are on the wrong track.
Raw 100% Cacao is high in Nitric Oxide! (NO Sugar and roasted to keep essential vitamins and minerals) LOVE it with Raw Real Organic Honey. 💕💕Thanks for the awesome Vid. 🙏
This is an amazing summary with a bonus of nice, quick dips into the science. Thank you! I've watched a lot of videos and listened to many podcasts; this short video is the best, most informative presentation I've come across. 👏 🙂
According to all of that, I'm a Nitric Oxide factory. Might help explain why I have the cardio of someone in their 30s when I'm 63. Good breathing techniques are something everyone should learn.
Thank you for talking about photobiomodulation. As a physical therapist using it for over 25 years nobody would ever believe what I was telling them about how it impacts the body, modifies disease and changes aging as well as improving everything.
I have been wearing a patch that uses PBM to activate your bodies own stem cells. It’s been great so far and an easy affordable way to get this therapy. I’m glad to see others talking of this. I wear each patch 12 hours per day and it uses your bodies own light to activate. Incredible actually.
At 72 I'm doing most of what you show but for taking L-Arginine meds because of my age. Red light I hope to be getting from the sun as our weather warms and I'm not rugged up when working in my garden. Very high to extreme U.V. down here in my part of Australia so a hat is a must, for me at least with little left on top. Now to walk into town, gave up driving 17 years ago.😀
You are a skilled presenter. Excellent topic, an area of great interest to me as someone who wants to get off blood pressure meds and whose b.p. is barely controlled.
Same here. I refused to go on BP meds. Thanks to this Doc and others on the internet I am learning a lot. Dr. Sorry suggest 1 cup of beet juice in the morning and another an hour or so before bed (8ounces)
Does your vet check your pets bp? BP meds are more likely to cause strokes and heart attacks. Dr John Bergman. Why does every country have a different "normal" bp? England's is your age +100.
Great video again, it's been a while but worth the wait. Can I suggest a video on pro biotic mouth rinses and tooth pastes? I dropped my old toothpaste which contained Triclosan and Fluoride among other things, and got a huge improvement in BP. I know you did one before on you own brew. Maybe it's time to rethink the concept.
There's also studies about using those antiseptic mouthwashes and cardiovascular health. Turns out that killing ALL the bacteria in your mouth on a regular basis contributes to heart disease
Dr. Nathan Bryan has a lot of info on the evil effects of mouthwashes, on blood pressure, Alzheimers etc. It's all related to lack of NO and blood flow.
Aloha Irminne..you-are-soo-sweet dear ! And the way you've explain is so soft and gentle something that's so important for any student to understand. Also, taking all the pains to explain everything in so much detail, with animation, et al ! A big thank you from India ! Keep it up dear🫶🏽🤎👏🏼👏🏼
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (author of How to Prevent Heart Disease) recommends adding some balsamic vinegar to greens (as in a salad) to help create nitric oxide in the body.
Thank you for this video. Dr. Nathan Bryan has advised against the use of L-arginine supplementation citing a couple of studies on wound care and, I believe, cardiac patients with very poor outcomes. It was on a video I just watched with Dr. Perlmutter. He described the mechanism, if y'all care to look it up.
Love this! You might want to consider adding cocoa flavanols to the list. Cocoa flavanols support cardiovascular health, brain function, and exercise performance by increasing nitric oxide (super charging eNOS!).
Good presentation of Such an important topic… Epithelial Dysfunction, inadequate NO production can lead to many of our current major health problems - high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance. I heard an interesting study, subjects performed mouthwash twice daily and some subjects had 20 basis point elevated blood pressure in less than 30 Days. Thanks for the great information 🙏👍
Interesting: A Mouthwash raised blood pressure to 20 basis points (of 1/100th percent (20 basis = 0.2%)? On Some? How many, maybe 2 out of a hundred or 80 out of 100? Makes a big difference in the number of people. Agree most mouthwash’s aren’t good; but to me, it seems that those figures are sort of meaningless (could have been a just a coincidence).
Thank you for your excellent work in this & other aspects of maintaining good health naturally. I also appreciate the wonderful explanatory simulations that drive the message home. I have been teaching humming breath regularly to my patients for several years & they swear by its marvelous effects on improving their sleep; never knew about the NO connection!
Thanks for the tips. 130 Hz is basically C3 which is a little higher than the note in the video. I just figured it out using Operator with a fixed frequency oscillator in Ableton live and looking at a note to frequency chart.
Great info , does anyone know about taking food grade potassium nitrate to increase your nitric oxide. Dr Beth Shirley has spoken about it but does not explain how to take it. Please comment if you know how to take it. Thank you
Very good information & advice..My walking is limited.. On Beta blockers, & warfarin due to past Dvt.. Have bradycardia. These ideas will hopefully help improve my circulation. Thankyou sweetie. 🙂
I greatly appreciate the competence, research, and clear presentation as someone who is rebuilding his health after years of illness Particularly, so many presenters of health videos talk very fast, and speak like advertising voice-overs instead of this calm and friendly presentation here
Golly gee willikers, this is tremendously voluptuously exciting to the nth degree, the enthusiasm is oozing out the pores in my skin and I can't stand the excitement. Oh GOD.
Thanks for sharing! I'm a PhD scientist now educator and share your videos with college students. Now- Please respond: do you know of any peer reviewed literature or pre-publications that look at whether nasal corticosteroids like Flonase may impact the bacteria in our sinuses that help increase nitric oxide which relates to this? Thank you, you ROCK!
Hi, great question!! I did a quick literature search, and I do not see anything specifically on nasal corticosteroids inhibiting or affecting nitric oxide producing bacteria in our sinuses. But in general, these nasal corticosteroids are immunosuppressants - and there are some studies that demonstrate that they alter microbiomes in the sinuses and lungs, even making people more susceptible to pneumonia. So if I was to guess, they probably do decrease the nitric oxide producing bacteria. Again, that’s just a guess though - I don’t really have science to support that specific claim.
🏆🏆🏆 Impressive presentation - thank you a million !!! 🙏🙏🙏 It benefits hugely from the rare virtue of brevity 😉 Keep them coming, you have a new subscriber !!! 🇬🇧

Taking magnesium will help with kidney stones my dad died when he stopped taking his magnesium supplements.

His doctor prescribed it to him for kidney stones. You can get it at any health food store.l also wanted to let people know that swishing your beet juice around in your mouth for 30 seconds will produce enough bacteria to convert it to NO in your body.
Re the humming aspect. It's an integral part of traditional yoga and some yogic breathing exercises. It's the sound Oòommmmm. The aim being to make the latter, 'mmmmmmm' sound uttered with the exhalation with the mouth closed for as long as possible. The longer the better. It's Also called 'bhanvari ', which literally means the sound of a humming bee. There's also a meditative aspect to it, and many kids are taught to do this from 50 to 500 times first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The experts claim that they can direct this humming to any part of the body that's giving them trouble.
Woke up and measured my BP - 124/61 Took 10 deep breaths 5-3-8 breathe in 5 hold 3 and exhale 8. BP 120/57. Then I did 10 inhales with 10 humming exhales - BP 116/58, and finally 10 regular inhales and 10 forced exhales - BP 113/58. The question becomes, how long is the effect sustained?
It all makes perfect sense apart from the bit about the mouth microbiome. From my non-medical viewpoint, this is how it seems: (1) food is only in the mouth for a short time so bacteria there would not have time to break things down (2) that bacteria would have time in the stomach, when the food is also physically brokend down and mixed more, but the stomach is a highly acidic environment. I do know that bacteria are extremely site specific, so it would be strange if bacteria adapated to the alkaline mouth could also survive the highly acidic stomach. Can you explain these difficult problematic points? Also, is there any research to backup the claim about the mouth microbiome? For example, eat some food, for 20 seconds, then remove from mouth and see if the NO content has increased?
I’m already doing most of these things and I can affirm that with each one of these things I’m feeling better at 55 than I did at 45. I’m adding the humming and pray it gets even better

I/we a 1000 tradesmen were inhaling Nitric oXide in Pulp Mill Emissions building a New Recovery Boiler next to the operating Pulp Mill @ Dryden Ontario! I discerned after when I ate Conventionally grown vegetables with Nitrate Fertilizer, ie; potatoes Or Chinese Greens my sinuses would be inflamed that evening and I'd suffer Sleep Apnea and Snoring!
I'd suggest eating Organic vegetables, which you may be and see if sinus inflammation is still an issue!
The always overlooked, very underestimated supplement, "Black Elderberry" will probably help or eliminate that...
*The immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties of this superfood make it a great natural remedy for allergy symptoms. The herbs known to remove excess mucus from the body called anti-catarrhals make this potent berry an effective medicine in clearing up runny noses, congestion, sneezing and itchy watery eyes associated with various sinus problems.
That sounds horrible, you think it was lack of oxygen from the sinus? So many people have congestion with no way of relief
There's a book called breathe. Don't know the name of the author. I read it. It's all about deep breathing and building your carbon dioxide up in your body to get your mitochondria /atp up. It's pretty cool. Wim Hoff it even mentions that in the book. It's a good read too. Did it on vacation in 5 days
Yay! You're back! Your mention of L-Citrulline lead me down quite a fascinating rabbit hole about Dr. Ignarro's discovery that lead to a Nobel Prize. Amazing! Your videos are ultimately valuable, and so well made! Thank you!
Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole in advance! lol
How about just take nitric oxide?
@@danpan001doesn’t work that way
@@danpan001 Nitric Oxide apparently has a very short half-life of just a few seconds. L-Argenine apparently gets converted to nitric oxide and has a longer half-life but still short in comparison to L-Citrulline, which, when used with a strong antioxidant, apparently gets convertrd to L-Arginine, in the body, and has an hours long half-life. So, after going down that research rabbit hole, I've chosen a combination of a couple grams L-Arginine, a couple grams L-Citrulline, and Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry) for my antioxidant. It seems to have an observable positive affect.
Thank you for this excellent video👍🏻 this was the first summer I grew beets in my garden , not only because I love them but also wanted to get more NO in my diet. I have been roasting them and I swear I can feel an increase in my energy.
Las remolachas no las como crudas , cocidas al vapor por los oxalatos.
So young and so turned on to health god bless you 🙏
Wow, didn't expect that, that was a real comprehensive summary of No. I sure check out your other videos!
Thank you for this. I paused the video and messaged my Doctor to see if citrulline would be right for me. Thanks again.
I also will begin humming.
Wonderful!
You are truly amazing. Thanks for making us healthier. Be well.
Dr Van i may have seen 1000s of science prgrams. This was the best
Appericate this delivery of helpful information. Thank you for NO music. 😊
Was that a pun? NO - Nitric Oxide,
@@TheHaratashi In my opinion, that’s why people shouldn’t use initials. They can mean different things.
First time listening to your science-backed explanations on sources of NO. Thumbs up ❤
High quality: informative, short and appropriately detailed😊
You give great explanation and animation to support your video. Thank you!
So nice of you, thank you!
Thanks Doc - you strike a perfect balance between overview and deep dive.
Thanks a bunch Doc for this video. It was truly enlightening. I’ll get down to doing at least half of these ASAP
One way to boost NO production that is often overlooked is to eat 'purple foods' - foods that contain anthocyanins. I call them 'purple foods', but they can be purple, red, magenta, or even black. Examples are blueberries, beets, black rice and hibiscus tea. With beets you get both nitrates & anthocyanins. There's also a lot of oxalate in beets so I would avoid things like beet juice and freeze dried beet chips. I passed a kidney stone after eating a few packs of beet chips over the course of a couple of weeks.
I read similar articles concerning beets and oxalates. One way to counter it is by taking vitamin C with your nitrate foods. I use a lemon in my beet, Arugula, spinach, radish smoothie. I’ve done this for ten years with no problems. Some of us are more sensitive to oxalates than others.
I don't understand how that would work since vitamin C also increases blood oxalate levels. Citrate from lemon could mitigate effects of oxalates, though. Lemon or no, I would not drink smoothies made out of beets, spinach or chard. Arugula is relatively low in soluble oxalates. Stones are no fun and can wreck kidney function over time. @@captainadams7569
A urologist said to eat something with calcium with the oxylate. That way the oxylate bonds with the calcium in you gut and never enters your bloodstream. Putting cheese on your spinach salad will do it.
Drink lemon water to counter oxalate s...beets are rich in NITRATES...your bacteria converts that into nitrates and NO
Then it's best to stay away from them and do as the video sùggested
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and I learned quite a lot. One book I would recommend that you read is called healing tooth decay and the only reason I recommended is because of a short reference you made to certain bacteria in our mouth causing tooth, decay, or causing cavities, I think you said. It’s not entirely untrue but there’s a lot more to the story than what we’ve been told. Also, the doctor author of the book goes into great detail on different aspects of diet and what types of diet are beneficial to our teeth and our bones. I think you will enjoy reading this book. Thanks for a wonderful video, signed new subscriber.
Whats the name of the book.
Can you tell us a few things to help our teeth?
@@stevengriffith167 he wrote that its called "healing tooth decay"
An enlightenment and well delivered presentation by a beautiful and engaging presenter! Mahalo Nui loa!
Humming is explained in detail in yoga sutras and that too thousands of years back. It's called Brahmari pranayam.
amazing how humans stumble across healing techniques and just notice that they feel better without knowing the science. so cool
Awesome video on nitric oxide. Thank you, And future videos can be about beet roots and watermelon, why so? Watermelons is all about citruline. Beet roots and watermelon are comon in history for athletics especially marathon runners. Please stress on yellow watermelon which contained higher citruline concentration. Beautiful job done here. Thanks again.
I once took Citrulline (1200mg twice a day), but my Urea blood level went through the roof. So you might wanna check that before supplementing it long term. Since then, I converted back to supplementing Arginine only (1500mg per day) - Urea level is back to normal.

Why did you see urea levels as a problem,?
@@alexanderishere1857 wa~y above the upper limit of the normal range
@@alexanderishere1857 First of all, it is important to know where the problem comes from. Many people do not drink enough water with minerals or salts. In the case of potassium, it helps to eliminate substances in the urine better. If you have a habit of eating sugar or a lot of carbohydrates, your pH will be more acidic and you will have more acidosis.
@@alexanderishere1857 Add a little lemon juice to your water and it will help alkalize your pH. But if you eat a lot of sweets, you are on the wrong track.
Raw 100% Cacao is high in Nitric Oxide! (NO Sugar and roasted to keep essential vitamins and minerals) LOVE it with Raw Real Organic Honey. 💕💕Thanks for the awesome Vid. 🙏
Blended in my coffee everyday along with tablespoon of coconut oil
And cinnamon
@@drcarriemills8772 1 teaspoon of MCT oil (Brain Power) I'd rather add than 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.👌
This is an amazing summary with a bonus of nice, quick dips into the science. Thank you! I've watched a lot of videos and listened to many podcasts; this short video is the best, most informative presentation I've come across. 👏 🙂
Very Informative! THANK YOU!
According to all of that, I'm a Nitric Oxide factory. Might help explain why I have the cardio of someone in their 30s when I'm 63. Good breathing techniques are something everyone should learn.
Thank you for talking about photobiomodulation. As a physical therapist using it for over 25 years nobody would ever believe what I was telling them about how it impacts the body, modifies disease and changes aging as well as improving everything.
I agree, photobiomodulation is highly underrated, and people need to know about it! 👍
I have been wearing a patch that uses PBM to activate your bodies own stem cells. It’s been great so far and an easy affordable way to get this therapy. I’m glad to see others talking of this. I wear each patch 12 hours per day and it uses your bodies own light to activate. Incredible actually.
@@ckillo100How much are those DBM patches? Aren't they expensive n do they have to be prescribed?
At 72 I'm doing most of what you show but for taking L-Arginine meds because of my age. Red light I hope to be getting from the sun as our weather warms and I'm not rugged up when working in my garden. Very high to extreme U.V. down here in my part of Australia so a hat is a must, for me at least with little left on top. Now to walk into town, gave up driving 17 years ago.😀
Always. Great advice.. Thanks.. Dear. Madom.❤
You are a skilled presenter. Excellent topic, an area of great interest to me as someone who wants to get off blood pressure meds and whose b.p. is barely controlled.
Good luck with that - I'm in the same boat, but don't use meds. 😇
Same here. I refused to go on BP meds. Thanks to this Doc and others on the internet I am learning a lot. Dr. Sorry suggest 1 cup of beet juice in the morning and another an hour or so before bed (8ounces)
Does your vet check your pets bp? BP meds are more likely to cause strokes and heart attacks. Dr John Bergman.
Why does every country have a different "normal" bp? England's is your age +100.
NO is so important! Thanks so much!
You bet!
Fantastic explanation of nitric oxide and how to improve our no levels!
Thanks so much!
Great video again, it's been a while but worth the wait. Can I suggest a video on pro biotic mouth rinses and tooth pastes? I dropped my old toothpaste which contained Triclosan and Fluoride among other things, and got a huge improvement in BP. I know you did one before on you own brew. Maybe it's time to rethink the concept.
Thank you for the great info.
There's also studies about using those antiseptic mouthwashes and cardiovascular health. Turns out that killing ALL the bacteria in your mouth on a regular basis contributes to heart disease
Lol! Actually I see now she put that at the end of the video. Great info
Dr. Nathan Bryan has a lot of info on the evil effects of mouthwashes, on blood pressure, Alzheimers etc. It's all related to lack of NO and blood flow.
@YarisWRK Well where's the link for biome toothpaste n mouth wash? You never included !
Aloha Irminne..you-are-soo-sweet dear ! And the way you've explain is so soft and gentle something that's so important for any student to understand. Also, taking all the pains to explain everything in so much detail, with animation, et al !
A big thank you from India ! Keep it up dear🫶🏽🤎👏🏼👏🏼
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (author of How to Prevent Heart Disease) recommends adding some balsamic vinegar to greens (as in a salad) to help create nitric oxide in the body.
Aloha. Thank you for the succinct and proactive advice regarding nitric oxide and vascular health. This is direct and refreshing.
Thank you for this video. Dr. Nathan Bryan has advised against the use of L-arginine supplementation citing a couple of studies on wound care and, I believe, cardiac patients with very poor outcomes. It was on a video I just watched with Dr. Perlmutter. He described the mechanism, if y'all care to look it up.
what about citrulline?
Love this! You might want to consider adding cocoa flavanols to the list. Cocoa flavanols support cardiovascular health, brain function, and exercise performance by increasing nitric oxide (super charging eNOS!).
Excellent video, thank you for this compact, understandable knowledge!!
❤
She is EPIC!!!!!!!! her research is impeccable
This is a superb presentation!
Also some informative comments from your viewers!
Good presentation of Such an important topic… Epithelial Dysfunction, inadequate NO production can lead to many of our current major health problems - high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance. I heard an interesting study, subjects performed mouthwash twice daily and some subjects had 20 basis point elevated blood pressure in less than 30
Days. Thanks for the great information 🙏👍
Interesting: A Mouthwash raised blood pressure to 20 basis points (of 1/100th percent (20 basis = 0.2%)?
On Some?
How many, maybe 2 out of a hundred or 80 out of 100? Makes a big difference in the number of people.
Agree most mouthwash’s aren’t good; but to me, it seems that those figures are sort of meaningless (could have been a just a coincidence).
Very nicely explained by Dr
Lovely presentation
Thank you
Thank you for your excellent work in this & other aspects of maintaining good health naturally. I also appreciate the wonderful explanatory simulations that drive the message home. I have been teaching humming breath regularly to my patients for several years & they swear by its marvelous effects on improving their sleep; never knew about the NO connection!
Absolutely Excellent information Thanks Regards passing Through U.
Thanks for the tips. 130 Hz is basically C3 which is a little higher than the note in the video. I just figured it out using Operator with a fixed frequency oscillator in Ableton live and looking at a note to frequency chart.
Thank you Dr Irminne - great stuff to learn about and put into practice! 130MHz here I come
Wonderful!
Great info , does anyone know about taking food grade potassium nitrate to increase your nitric oxide.
Dr Beth Shirley has spoken about it but does not explain how to take it.
Please comment if you know how to take it. Thank you
Very good information & advice..My walking is limited..
On Beta blockers, & warfarin due to past Dvt.. Have bradycardia. These ideas will hopefully help improve my circulation.
Thankyou sweetie. 🙂
Thanks for this post. Now I have more motivation to cook that beef borscht I've wanted for sometime
Well presented...!
Thank you 🙂
I greatly appreciate the competence, research, and clear presentation as someone who is rebuilding his health after years of illness
Particularly, so many presenters of health videos talk very fast, and speak like advertising voice-overs instead of this calm and friendly presentation here
Scientific and rational analysis covering various aspects of nitric oxide and it's positive impact on human beings.❤🎉
Well done this is the best presentation on nitric oxide I have ever seen thank you for explaining it in simple terms
Golly gee willikers, this is tremendously voluptuously exciting to the nth degree, the enthusiasm is oozing out the pores in my skin and I can't stand the excitement.
Oh GOD.
Thanks for sharing! I'm a PhD scientist now educator and share your videos with college students.
Now-
Please respond: do you know of any peer reviewed literature or pre-publications that look at whether nasal corticosteroids like Flonase may impact the bacteria in our sinuses that help increase nitric oxide which relates to this? Thank you, you ROCK!
Hi, great question!! I did a quick literature search, and I do not see anything specifically on nasal corticosteroids inhibiting or affecting nitric oxide producing bacteria in our sinuses. But in general, these nasal corticosteroids are immunosuppressants - and there are some studies that demonstrate that they alter microbiomes in the sinuses and lungs, even making people more susceptible to pneumonia. So if I was to guess, they probably do decrease the nitric oxide producing bacteria. Again, that’s just a guess though - I don’t really have science to support that specific claim.
WOW, great presentation. 'liked', subscribed, and straight to channel page, for more. Thank you Care Giver
You provided an amazing discussion. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I never realized Celery to be source of NO. Thank you and I am going to focus on it, plus other veggies you mentioned.
Wonderful!
I appreciated this information packed video! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely information, and lovely description.🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing this very vital information. Much appreciated.
Excellent insight into conversion of Citrilline and it bypassing!
It's Citrulline she recommended not Citrilline.
Wonderful useful information! Thank you so much!
🏆🏆🏆 Impressive presentation - thank you a million !!! 🙏🙏🙏
It benefits hugely from the rare virtue of brevity 😉
Keep them coming, you have a new subscriber !!! 🇬🇧
For those with the receptiveness one might consider combining a long walk with nasal breathing, humming and the rosary. It’s an amazing combination.
Nice presentation but your graphic on nitrites has the word peripheral spelled wrong I don't know if it's the person that generated the graphic or if you didn't do it yourself you can't change it unless you want to type over it but there is a peripheral misspelling but nice presentation and I'm going to eat more spinach because I love spinach I love greens too collards all that stuff anyway good presentation I'm following some of your advice❤
A tiny correction - that sweet spot frequency (130 Hz) corresponds to C3, not C1 (@2:47)
Ahhhh you are correct! Thank you, I will correct that with a spot edit that in the video. 👍
Taking magnesium will help with kidney stones my dad died when he stopped taking his magnesium supplements. He had to get a kidney stone removed and then was septic afterwards.He was 88 so he was vulnerable. I was after him for monthes to get back on his magnesium but he would not listen. His doctor prescribed it to him for kidney stones. You can get it at any health food store.l also wanted to let people know that swishing your beet juice around in your mouth for 30 seconds will produce enough bacteria to convert it to NO in your body.
Good to see you back Doc. Thanks for the informative video, I love all your videos.
Excellent video! Very informative. Thank you!
Excellent presentation ❤❤❤
Many Thanks Doctor. Very informative.
How do you propose females hum the lower G note that males can do?
It's very valuable information.
Re the humming aspect. It's an integral part of traditional yoga and some yogic breathing exercises. It's the sound Oòommmmm. The aim being to make the latter, 'mmmmmmm' sound uttered with the exhalation with the mouth closed for as long as possible. The longer the better. It's Also called 'bhanvari ', which literally means the sound of a humming bee. There's also a meditative aspect to it, and many kids are taught to do this from 50 to 500 times first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The experts claim that they can direct this humming to any part of the body that's giving them trouble.
Om or aum is mantra in hinduism. Think you are referring to kinds chanting mantra?
Awesome presentation! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Woke up and measured my BP - 124/61 Took 10 deep breaths 5-3-8 breathe in 5 hold 3 and exhale 8. BP 120/57. Then I did 10 inhales with 10 humming exhales - BP 116/58, and finally 10 regular inhales and 10 forced exhales - BP 113/58. The question becomes, how long is the effect sustained?
wonderful program with good information
Really interesting information! I need to figure out how to hum at 130Hz while lightly jogging or cycling.
It all makes perfect sense apart from the bit about the mouth microbiome. From my non-medical viewpoint, this is how it seems:
(1) food is only in the mouth for a short time so bacteria there would not have time to break things down
(2) that bacteria would have time in the stomach, when the food is also physically brokend down and mixed more, but the stomach is a highly acidic environment. I do know that bacteria are extremely site specific, so it would be strange if bacteria adapated to the alkaline mouth could also survive the highly acidic stomach.
Can you explain these difficult problematic points?
Also, is there any research to backup the claim about the mouth microbiome? For example, eat some food, for 20 seconds, then remove from mouth and see if the NO content has increased?
