Why hydrogen sulfide?
Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical that is naturally produced by our bodies. Dr. Roth suggests it may be one chemical involved in regulating how much energy our cells use, a process called Cellular Energy Metabolism: The set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism’, TIMEOUT, 3200, MOUSEOFF, CELLPAD, 5);” onmouseout=”return nd();”>cellular energy metabolism. Hydrogen sulfide is also used by many forms of life, from unicellular organisms to mammals. It may even have been the original pathway used by organisms to generate energy. Some organisms alive today still use this process, including sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that inhabit caves on land or http://www.marinetech.org/nine_degrees/ ‘, TIMEOUT, 3200, MOUSEOFF, CELLPAD, 5);” onmouseout=”return nd();”>deep-sea caves.
