• How insulin resistance and diabetes are symptoms of excess glycolysis and lactate production, and how metformin makes these conditions worse

• How excess lactate production and a lack of CO2 causes altitude sickness and anxiety and panic attacks

• The benefits of altitude and the surprising parallel effects of stormy weather

• The problem with 100% oxygen ventilation in critical illnesses like severe COVID-19 infections and sepsis

• How glycolytic metabolism and the swelling that results contributes to high blood pressure and heart failure
