As far as the power of suggestion is concerned, a final observation made by a supporter of that line of thinking was "Now he thinks he's dead".


Can you please elaborate as to the correlation between this post and my scepticism of a few huffs of 02 turning some hung over knuckle dragger into a bright eyed and bushy tailed gent ready to meet the day?

I'll do my best.

Your post was limited to the phrase "The power of suggestion". This was probably intended as a general comment on several preceeding posts, but there was no specific mention of scepticism regarding any alleged robust transformation of alcohol swillers suffering the consequences of their overindulgence as the result of a few hits of O2.

My comment was made in connection only with the very generic topics of illusion and reality, and the power of suggestion.
 
"Normal" as a human physical condition is not a absolute either/or condition, like death or pregnancy.

I probably should have said "return to baseline" vs "return to normal."
 
We might as well invoke Godwin now. Hitler said that Nitrox causes a placebo affect that leads the diver to believe that they feel better and of clearer mind while diving. Godwin? Check! Argument over somebody's claim that the feel good is but a placebo.....coming up next.

it's my understanding that Hitler was not AOW. Should he really be in a position to say that about Nitrox? :idk:
 
LOL I think I may have found the marketplace for my new line of magnetic miracle bracelets!

if you want, we can market them together with these "Nitrox Pills"


I mean, it's cheaper than divers paying more for the extra costs of a Nitrox fill. (and we all know there are a lot of cheap skates here)

Back to subject......sort of :wink:

[hijack]Why do people care if somebody says they feel less tired after diving Nitrox. What they are saying is not dangerous. If they are not claiming that it is 100% founded in truth and science then who really cares? They are saying how THEY feel. Not how I will feel. Who cares? Why do these threads go the way they do? I mean it is scientifically proven that spare air units kill and that split fins are not as good as my jets but this is about Nitrox. As long as nobody gets hurt in ANY way, I say let the person enjoy the placebo.

EDIT - For the record, above I say "after diving nitrox" but the reality is, my point is the same either way.

Speaking of good feelings, if I "feel better" for more than four hours, should I contact my physician?
