Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Thank you for your information. I do not discount this information at all. I know how wonderful I feel when I do my practice and how I have seen the affects on my own problem with exercised enduced asthma. I was speaking (from my boss's perspective) technically about the amount of oxygen able to absorbed at one time.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 Yes, and I am responding technically and saying that the amount of oxygen absorbed at one time can increase and is not static. fbl ashtangayoga, "Gearhart, Margee" <mgearhart@s...> wrote: > Thank you for your information.
