has anyone here noticed they have low in-range co2 on their cmp, did taking the steps to speed up your metabolism help? or did anything help

Breathe in a paper bag, move to a higher altitude (or just go on holiday), drink carbonated water (tönissteiner is good, also has quite some magnesium and calcium, but I prefer bag breathing etcetera because I'm never thirsty) and/or use baking soda in your water. This will directly increase it.

Increasing sugar intake will also help.

What I've been thinking about but I'm not sure whether it's a valid way to raise CO2 is to use candles instead of artificial light when it's getting dark.

I have never measured my own level, but am planning to do some tests in the near future. Best of luck!

It definitely makes sense to try to raise Co2- "The results show that CO2 with tension close to that of the blood (37.0 mm Hg) and at higher tensions (60 and 146 mm Hg) is a powerful inhibitor of AOF generation by human and animal cells, as well as by liver mitochondria of mice" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9139450 – cliff Apr 18 2012 at 14:02

"Carbon dioxide action mechanism was developed partially through the inhibition of the OAF generation in mitochondria and through deceleration of NADPH oxidative activity. Finally, it was established that CO2 led to the better coordination of oxidation and phosphorylation and increased the phosphorylation velocity in liver mitochondria." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9229940 – cliff Apr 18 2012 at 14:02

Proteins in your body load up with Co2 which protects them from glycation and effects the way they act. – cliff Apr 18 2012 at 14:03

Can you explain why these suggestions are nonsense, Jay? – Korion Apr 18 2012 at 14:55

That's why I said "This will directly increase it." The underlying issue is likely too complex and personal to solve. You're basically saying that all posts on paleohacks are stupid, because we're all avoiding gluten while the gluten are not the underlying cause of gluten intolerance. – Korion Apr 18 2012 at 17:35

No but I have high abnormal CO2. Doctors don't seem concerned about it though.
