The helium method is entirely painless.

In using this method, a person really will be rendered unconscious before feeling any pain?

A face mask does not work in the helium method of self-deliverance. It works only with a plastic bag over the head, secured at the neck, with the pipe running in. Properly done, this method delivers brain death within 3-4 minutes.

Six years’ ago, I bought a big helium tank from a party supplies store and got the medical mask, etc., on. I checked and my voice was squeaky. Hours later, I woke up with the mask still on and the helium all used up and a bad headache.

I do wish there was something painless, quick, sure and legal instead of this horrible social stigma that forces one to choose these complicated and hit-or-miss methods.

Using a face mask with the helium method of self-deliverance from unbearble suffering will almost certainly be blown off the face as the gas turns on.

I too have suffered from severe-chronic CFS, had radiation treatment as a child which gave me hormonal problems that mainstream medicine failed to cure as well. Plus now I had an accident 3 months ago which has made my leg permanently crippled/ruptured 60% of the muscles and I’ve been told it and the agonising pain /disability it causes me despite the strongest pain killers are permanent. I so want to die peacefully as described above, it is beautiful to end such intense suffering.
But I am concerned to do it correctly and yes my mind does wonder if I will have unpleasant drowning sensations if I use the helium method or some such. Surely a hood is more unpleasant than breathing from a mask ?

i’m new here. i had non hodgkins lymphoma. i have a sevre/profound hearing loss. i have sjogrens syndrome, ataxia , nueropathy and am loosing my vision. i reley on my sight so much in order to understand what people are saying. i’m also in so much pain. my doctors can’t seem to understand i don’t want any agressive treatment i only wish to be comfortable. i’m an artist so my vision loss is doubly frightening. there isn’t anything they can do to cure any of my disabilities. that’s basicly why i started looking for sites like this. has anyone had any dealing with compassion and choice? has anyone ever read the book ‘exit house’?

I am new here. I am in the market for a helium tank and found a couple of places that sell them. One tank can blow up 30 balloons, the other 50. My concern is money. Would the tank that can inflate 30 balloons be enough for self deliverance? Anybody?

So, before I take the time to purchase the book over the internet can someone assure me that this isn’t the full deal, for free

The article states she breathed pure helium, but is the helium in party kits pure helium?

Yes, it is as pure as you can get, and it is lethal in an enclosed space. — ERGO
