I appreciate the posts. As one who suffers from altitude sickness, I'm always interested in learning what else these guys are finding. Is there a good source that you are aware of that summarizes recent findings? My latest human guinea pig experiment was a bit of a failure. I read that the high nitrate content found in beet juice will convert to nitrites and help to avoid altitude sickness, but the catch was it had to be in copious amounts. I want to see 750 ml to 1 liter. I went to Whole Foods and had them juice me some beets which I consumed the next morning--within 20 minutes of consuming half of that, I was bolting for the facilities. I think Diamox has helped, but it has its limits. When on 125MG twice a day for multiple days before ascending, my limit is still sea level to about 11,000. Sea level to trail camp and I get very ill.
