    I’ve currently been reducing my oxygen intake. My wife keeps telling me it’s impossible and my doc says I’ll supposedly die, but they’re just hating on my progress.

        Doesn’t it only work if you then return to a lower altitude? I wonder how long the benefits last for.

        Now that I think about it, I don’t actually know how this even works. Well I know what I’m going to go read about next.

          Its also said that smokers are used to having less oxygen intake so if you throw a smoker and a non smoker on a mountain for a night, the smoker is less likely to get altitude sickness. Long term staying at altitude they’ll no longer have the advantage.
