No-one should use this method. Seriously. PN first publicized it over 12 months ago, and it turned out to be nothing more than a way to create new interest in the PPeH. Even now, he is asking people to videotape their death by SN and send it to Exit. These people are guinea pigs for Exit. Nothing more.
Again, he doesn't know that it is even slightly peaceful. Evidence suggests the opposite. He is in dreamland, imagining he has found the perfect "Pill of Drion" that is peaceful, cheap, effective and easy to get. It isn't that peaceful pill at all.
Does anyone know if there is a feeling of air hunger with this method?
I think I read somewhere that methemoglobin is unable to carry oxygen...
But I also read it's unable to carry carbon dioxide as well. (So maybe the carbon dioxide would be unable to reach the lungs for exhalation?)
Correct me if I'm wrong
No, no air hunger. That is only triggered by a rise in CO2 when breathing, not a lack of oxygen carried by the blood.
A couple of other things.
PH incorrectly says that because the mechanism of death is interference of the blood's ability to carry oxygen, that the death is hypoxic. Hypoxia is euphoric - ask any pilot, it's part of their basic training. I have had this training. Hypoxia only comes from lack of oxygen in the air through the mechanism of breathing.
Interference of the haemoglobin's ability to carry oxygen (SN does this as it "hijacks" the red blood cells) does
not result in hypoxia. LostGirl summed it up well in her post:
I don't think humans can be compared to feral wild animals.
"Sodium nitrite, used as a salt to preserve meat, can keep red blood cells from grabbing oxygen in live animals. Unlike people and tested domestic animals, pigs make very low levels of an enzyme that counteracts the chemical. Swine that eat enough sodium nitrite at once show symptoms akin to carbon dioxide poisoning: They become uncoordinated, lose consciousness and die."
The common symptoms from what I have read, are nausea, stomach pain, headaches and vomiting. The problem is we don't know the duration and severity of the pain and with a readily available anitdote, if we can't bear the pain and call emergency services, there is every chance to be saved with or without lasting damages.
I really don't know whether I should use this method or try CO again.
PN's evidence of peacefulness was originally the observation that the pigs "died quietly". He now has got a report from 1 or 2 human deaths, that the person "died quietly". This in no way means peacefulness, as he tries to suggest. It is possible, and even likely, that the pig and the person became incapacitated prior to death. The symptoms described in LostGirl's post are real.
The entire SN fallacy started in the Netherlands, with great controversy just over a year ago. PN jumped on the bandwagon, and has been flogging it ever since.
It is the most appalling thing that has happened in the entire history of the RTD movement. Please, people, don't use this method if a peaceful death is what you want. You only get one death. Why fuck it up with pain?
One more thought.
I wonder if it's safe to take my SN at home while my family are asleep or if it's better I be away from home. If it truly is peaceful if done right there's no reason I can't do it at home, right?
Your body will be cured. It will be brown. This is a fact, it's how the mechanism of death occurs. Are you ok with your family finding you like that?
