You get rid of CO2 by exhaling....whether you just exhale or blow in a straw or into a glass of water doesn't matter....just exhale twice as long as you inhale.

Yes
It has helped me a lot
It took about 2 weeks
Doing it a lot of times during the day
Before I noticed
Because it was so packed in my lungs
Good luck
Hope it helps you
Slow and steady we go
Never alone

John...Jean is correct as it is Carbon Dioxide that we need to get rid of by either PLB or using the Straw and Water Technique.....Water absorbs Carbon Dioxide and it happens in nature........So by exhaling into a just over half filled bottle of water either thru a straw or preferably a wider plastic tube, the carbon dioxide gets absorbed out of your blood system.

Carbon Monoxide is from external pollutants like exhaust fumes etc etc.....and is what contributes to respiratory diseases.....
