Do you know what are the biological process and reactions, after take the SN, wich make you ctb?

It just makes it so your red blood cells can't carry oxygen

Yes. The nitrite changes hemoglobin, the molecule that picks up oxygen at the lungs and carries it throughout the body, to methemoglobin via a reversible oxidation reaction. The heme iron is oxidized forming ferric iron, which cannot bind to oxygen. The body has a process which reverses this reaction but the sheer amount of nitrite totally overwhelms that system and it cannot reverse this oxidation quickly enough to keep your levels of methemoglobin low. When you have a high percentage of methemoglobin, that means a high percentage of your blood cells can't even bind to oxygen. Without oxygen our tissues die. So this is a death by hypoxia, as stated in many places.

Thank you :)
Very kind

SN is the way to go...just need to determine with Antacid to use...I have Tums but I keep reading that Tagamet is recommended...what do you all think ?

I know of one other member that used Tums but she complained of significant stomach pain from SN (moreso than usual) so I'd recommend going with Tagamet instead.
