Carbon monoxide poisoning
How to help support recovery

This video covers how to help support recovery after a recent carbon monoxide poisoning. It's information every survivor should know.

How to support recovery after a recent carbon monoxide poisoning

• Drink lots of good water. Use a water filter at minimum. Drink room or body temperature water as it places less burden on the body. Sip slowly throughout the day as it is easier for the body to process smaller amounts.
  
  
• Avoid stress of all kinds:
• • Reduce or avoid heavy physical or mental workloads
  • Avoid toxins wherever possible including household cleaners, dust, vehicular traffic, paints, cigarettes, 2nd hand smoke, hair spray, chemicals, etc.
  • Avoid caffeine and stimulants
  • Reduce stimulus (crowds, TV)
  • Avoid drinks or foods containing artificial ingredients such as colorings, preservatives, aspartame, etc.
  • Avoid junk food, candy, sweets, and be cautious with sugar intake (your body may have a harder time balancing blood sugar and this could lead to mood instability and/or fatigue)
  • Reduce electromagnetic exposure (use the speaker phone for mobile or cordless phone calls)
  • Eat smaller and easier to digest meals. A digestive enzyme before meals may help (most health stores have them).
    
    
• Learn more about the potential symptoms and after effects of poisoning and ask people close to you to learn more. They may be able to notice things you don't.
  
  
• Keep a carbon monoxide journal until you and your family are confident you have fully recovered. Keep track of date, emotions (especially frustration, anger, rage, upset, or depressive emotions), physical health, energy levels, observations or comments made by other people (particularly conflict or criticism), other things that you think could be related.
  
  
• Get plenty of rest.
  
  
• For products to help support recovery visit the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Store.

Much more can can be done if you feel you need it. The recovery program covers how to create a stronger environment within the body to help support recovery from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Why aren't victims told this stuff

Feather from UK

Victims are not told this stuff because the majority of people are narrow minded and are competent only in their field.

But of course the worst situation is when the person thinks that he knows already everything and doesn't need to read anything else. That is why it is very important to check and doubt everything you were told. In such a way there is more chance that you'll find something else that can be very useful.

Thank You for clearing up my confusesion.

Ted Wlizlo from Brooklyn, NY USA

Recently, do to the extra ever heavy NYC snowfall and winter (Jan 2011), I became exposed, over the course of ten or so days, to carbon monoxide due to an overworked and under-cleaned gas furnace that was jerry rigged, by a neighbor, to by-pass a relief sensor so that it would stay on because it was starving of ventilation and air. I slept directly above this furnace in the living room of a brownstone; about five feet above. Luckily for the high ceilings and railroad style layout or it could have been worse. When I mentioned it to others they said it was in my head stating they did not feel or smell anything.
But nevertheless I have not been feeling myself and it has been over ten or so days since I got oxygen at the ER. Yes, I have been dehydrated and am somewhat relieved to know why I have been feeling sluggish and have had a constant head ache and lost a little weight.
Thank you for the tips, more than I got from the ER.

School Bus Driver feeling Sick

Maureen Coleman from Ontario

Hello:
I have been driving a spare school bus and feel something is wrong. This morning after dropping off the students at the school I could not see properly. Looking into the back of the bus the kids were all blurry and the faces were jumping.
This is an old bus and it also makes me feel sick. I have a funny feeling in my throat.

i refused to drive the bus.
I was going to take a second bus for my second run but felt upset and confused. I could not concentrate on what they were saying to me.
I went home sick.
I also felt confused.

Some stores carry it but not that many. However, please use the link above as we receive a small referral fee that goes to help support this site and other survivors.

Jacob from Wisconsin, US

This is way better than being pumped full of expensive pills that just make things worse. Can I buy the Brain On in a store or do I have to get it online?

Ian from UK

Excellent information. Thank you.

The idea that a recovery from CO poisoning can be helped by doing a few simple things makes a lot of sense. Why the hell aren't victims told this stuff?
