Does nitrox make you feel good?

[WVDiver]

Because there is no "usual" dive. Each is different and the physical and mental condition of the diver is too. For example, I get 7 days older every week.

This really is the BIG variable, and a tough one to pursue. BTW I get 7 days older every week too. What does it all mean.

Ohh, that changes everything. If wikipedia says it, it must be true

If you sign up for a Wiki account, you can edit that, and add "scientifically proven to reduce fatigue"

This reminds me of Sesame Street, when Ernie is sitting with a banana in his ear, and Burt says, "Why do you have a banana in your ear" - Ernie says it's to keep the alligators away... Burt says, "but there aren't any alligators" and Ernie replies, "well then it must be working"

This thread could go ballistic by morning.

That entropy always increases.

"scientifically proven to reduce fatigue"

I think I will add this to my sig line.

exactly...

I'm starting a new post that states emphatically the sun has been proved "scientifically" to rise in the West, how about them apples?

Then I'll post that east and west are relative and who knows which is true.

I just found a study that says the earth is flat. That's enough for me. Now i'll just try not to dive near the edge :11:

We once thought that it decreased heart attack, decrease alzheimer, etc....

It was once hypothesized, not shown in studies and that hypothesis was disproven with data. The study quoted is small, but well designed. In a chamber, no seas, no change from dive to dive.

Is everyone crazy, there is little to no reason to believe that nitrox will make you feel better. It is marginal for extending bottom time. And I do not think it smells worse.
