Why is technique important when measuring ketones in breath?

-
Tidal Volume (TV): This is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing, without any extra effort. It's typically about 500 mL in adults. -
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): This is the additional amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation. It represents the extra air that can be drawn into the lungs with a deep breath, over and above the tidal volume. In adults, it's usually about 3000 mL.
-
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): This is the additional amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation. It's the extra air that can be pushed out of the lungs with force after a normal breath, beyond the tidal volume. In adults, it's typically around 1200 mL.
These volumes are key components of lung capacity measurements and are important in assessing respiratory health.
The highest concentration of breath ketones are in the lower part of the lungs. This means its the gas in the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) we want to be exhaled into the Ketonix, to be able to reach a more higher and stable concentration.

Ketonix was invented by Michel Lundell who was diagnosed with epilepsy 2013. As the dose of medication increased, the personality was equally changed to the worse. A change was needed. Michel researched for alternatives and found a study from the early 1920's. A study using a "ketogenic diet" showed that children with epilepsy that did not respond to medication, did respond to a ketogenic diet. Why not try this diet instead of medication, after all ... the diet was just natural food.When switching from medication to a ketogenic diet, a tool was needed to monitor the process of creating ketones for the...
