His snack between meals ws a protien bars and a protien shake. everyone always used to ask me if he already goes to the gym and lifts weight, cause he looked like a little body builder. but I always said no, Hes just athletic and eats right..I sure do miss himm...



" hyperventilation" kids do sometimes before choking. According to Françoise, kids are convinced that such increasing of oxygen in the lungs is a kind of security against collapsing. She thought so too. But it is not. On the contrary, that's what surely kills. The main effect of hyperventilation is to turn the internal gaz mixture close to the external air (that has a low rate of CO2).

Now breathing is induced when CO2 reaches a certain rate. This is important (I always wondered why these usually quite bright kids did die so stupidly but discovered why - at least in part - only last summer) : breathing impulse isn't released by organs who need oxygen but by the evaluation of CO2 quantity present in lungs and blood.

The effect of hyperventilation is then easy to understand : the longer it lasts, the less the rate of CO2 in lungs, the longer the time to reach the rate of CO2 which will trigger the breathing impulse. The trouble is that the body consumes as much oxygen as in normal state when you have hyperventilated. When your oxygen stock is used up, you just don't feel it because the CO2 rate hasn't yet reached the crucial limit. That's when the fainting occurs and that's why any rescue dispositive is useless. Kids don't know that, I think. Most pedagogues say that, in prevention, you shouldn't speak about hyperventilation, because it would be like giving the secret of the recipe. I'm not suggesting to say "do it but without hyperventilating before" of course. Because actually even if they survive they're injuring poor old black box.
