This may be a terminally stupid question and leave readers in absolutely no doubt about my hair colour...................but would the gas nitrous oxide be the same thing as an inhalable nitric oxide? Because good old NOS is the gas they give you at the dentist over here, or if you are having a baby etc..............personally i love the stuff purely for the buzz it gives me and until recently it was legal in NZ and could be purchased at your local corner store and inhaled via a balloon! I admit I did use it a few times at parties until it was banned recently - but felt it would be very bad for my lungs so stopped doing it. Now i'm wondering if I should have kept it up!! Does anyone know if Nitric Oxide and Nitrous Oxide are the same thing?

I love how in the article it points out how the FDA probably won't allow it's use to treat cystic fibrosis, because sodium nitrate has some potentially "toxic reactions". Yeah well guess what, my lung disease is having definite toxic f'ing reactions to my life. As long as a treatment doesnt require us to swallow gasoline or chew on uranium, i'm all for taking my chances if it means theres a 90% chance that said treatment will kill all of my PA. With all the crap that's in extremely processed meat products that we consume (lunchmeat, hotdogs, etc), i'm pretty sure we have established that sodium nitrate isn't going to instantly kill us. Unless we like into our 60's, i'd be willing to be CF will kill us before any form of sodium nitrate inhalation treatment does.
Where's my waiver? I'll sign it.

I will add this stuff to the list of thing that make me feel like crap after eating it. I try and commit to memory these toxins, cause i tell you the last ham i had really took a toll on me and subsequent hams after that. You might wait until they test this on poor third-world people b/c it is not good. Now i don't mean that literally but that's what they do you know(test on poor third-world people)

It looks like we are on the verge of major breakthroughs in the treatment of cf. This study is very promising and if the FDA would stand in the way, to hell it shall go. I will not be present when all these things get real action, but thats very encouraging for young cfers and those with high pfts. I always thought that pseudomonas should be eradicted in a way or another. After reading this, if i had sodium nitrite i would try it myself (inhale) careless of the consequences. Desperate times need desperate measures.

Sign me up!!
hmmm...the fda's stand on this couldn't possibly have something to do with say, drug companies? I mean, if it's a simple common food preservative, nobody's going to be making billions off of it.
I think I'll start cooking the bacon, and standing over the pan, inhaling the grease.
Thanks fo rthe article, seriously, I found it very interesting.
