Why can Intense Breathing Contribute to Thrombosis of the Lungs, Heart and Brain?
It is known that aqueous media acquire a positive charge when they are bubbled with air. It has also been established that it is the positive electrification of water that increases its hydrating capacity, in particular, in relation to various biopolymers, turning them into hydrogels with adhesive properties. Given that blood clots are essentially hydrogels, both of these phenomena allow hypothesizing that intense breathing promotes thrombogenesis, primarily in the lungs, but also in the heart and brain. Given the unusual nature of this hypothesis, its rationale and advantages are discussed here in detail.
