General Science / WHY Operate on Varicose Veins?
« on: 29/04/2010 08:53:23 »AKFQuoteThe heart rate decreases by 10-12 beats per minute on IBT. Yet circulation is improved. So if the heart beats less and circulation increases how do you account for that?
You would expect the heart rate to decrease when you are not standing. There is less work for it to do. The blood pressure at the interfaces in the kidneys will also be affected by the attitude of the body. How do either of these facts justify your new model of the body?
Did your friendly Proff tell you that the 'pulses of solutes' he detected at the kidneys were, in any way, related to breathing rate? I hate to ask this but have you actually calculated () the change in density of the blood as it goes through the lungs due to evaporation? Surely the actual amount would be highly relevant to whether or not you were right in your theory. Perhaps that would be a bit too like hard fact for your liking.
Needless to say, the effect on circulation to the head would be in the opposite direction as the heart would need to be pumping more dense blood upwards. Did you not think it through?
As you say one would expect the heart rate to decrease when not standing. IBT is comparible to standing because the dircetion of gravity is aligned the same as standing, without the pressure on the feet and tension on the muscles.
So why does the heart rate differ sleeping inclined compared to sleeping horizontal?. Not just in humans but in sleeping dogs also placed on an angle?
