What is Buteyko?
Buteyko is a breathing technique used specifically by people who suffer with Asthma and other Respiratory problems. The technique got its unique name from its inventor, a Ukraine doctor called Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko.
Buteyko has been proven to be affective and helped many people reduce other forms of medication.

| Which exercise parameters increase body oxygenation
|
|
Dozens of published medical studies clearly proved that body oxygenation, which is reflected by stress-free breath-holding time, is the best indicator of physical health. Among numerous varieties of the breath holding time test, the stress-free version of the test done after usual exhalation, most accurately reflects body oxygenation. |
| Exercise is joy only when body oxygenated at rest
|
|
Most modern people can testify that physical exercise is not a pleasant experience. Over 200 MDs, practicing the Buteyko self-oxygenation breathing method, and other health professionals performed many millions of simple body oxygenation tests (stress-free variation of the breath holding time test done after usual exhalation and without |
| How and Why Coughing Destroys Health and Solutions
|
|
Thousands of patients with bronchial asthma learned how to be cough-free using one breathing technique. The Buteyko respiration technique is officially approved by the Ministry of Health in Russia for treatment of bronchial asthma. It has been practiced by over 150 medical doctors to help their patients with |
| Stress-free breath holding time predicts health of HIV/AIDS patients
|
|
Clinical evidence, as well as physiological studies, found that progression of the disease in HIV patients is manifested in reduced oxygenation of the body. Dozens of studies revealed such negative effects of hypoxia, as chronic fatigue, poor sleep, psychological disturbances, mouth breathing, inability to exercise, and sexual dysfunction. |
| Abnormal breathing pattern causes asthma and attacks
|
|
Here is a summary of five published studies related to breathing rates (or minute ventilation expressed in liters of air per one minute) in asthmatics at rest (when they do not experience problems with asthma). *One row corresponds to one medical study/publicationCondition Ventilation Number of patients ReferencesNorm |
| Why modern people have poor posture
|
|
ObservationsBeing upright is and was the most natural body position. This was the norm during almost the entire history of humanity. Standing also was the norm in factories, plants, shops and offices up to the beginning of the 20th century. Most modern people prefer to sit. Moreover, we |
| Health of cancer patients is predicted by stress-free breath holding time
|
|
Cellular hypoxia and cancer Dr. Otto Warburg, the Nobel Laureate, in his article "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer" (1966) wrote, "Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. Almost anything can cause cancer. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. The prime |
| Stop asthma attacks using basic breath control
|
|
The exercise was used by over 200 Soviet and Russian doctors who have been practicing the Buteyko breathing self-oxygenation method. They taught it to many thousands of people. The exercise helps, in most cases, to stop asthma attacks without using bronchodilators. (I translated many Russian medical papers.)Practical actionsSit |
| Severe Cough Means Reduced Oxygen Content In Tissues
|
|
Clinical reflections of many hundred Russian medical doctors propose that reoccuring issues with cough occur only in individuals with lower oxygen content in cells and organs. Consider these important scientific findings in more detail. We can take first step with popular knowledge about the mechanism that creates severe |
| Breathing for maximum brain oxygenation
|
|
Breathing and the brainOur breathing pattern has profound effects on the brain. Unnoticeable changes in breathing (when we believe that our breathing is OK) can reduce oxygenation and blood supply by 20-30%. How should we breathe, day and night, so that to have maximum oxygenation of the brain? |
| Why Nose Breathing at Exercise Is Crucial for Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
|
|
Recent breakthroughs in cystic fibrosis treatments and research Several medical studies very recently (2009-2011) discovered that CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), the cystic fibrosis mutation protein gene, is controlled by oxygen pressure in body cells (see references below). While most people, including many medical professionals, believe that |
| 7 main (unknown) health-destructive life style factors
|
|
Appearance and development of chronic diseases and symptoms, including fatigue, poor quality of sleep, mucus production, blocked nose, loss of vitality, anxiety, and confusion, are based on lowered body oxygenation. Cancer and heart disease, the main killers of modern people, are primarily based on tissue hypoxia (low cellular |
| Mouth Breathing Is the Key Cause of Exercise-Induced Asthma
|
|
All available medical data suggests that people with asthma are heavy breathers. They breathe about 2-3 times more air per minute than the medical norm. Let us review some of these studies. In 1968 New England Journal of Medicine published results of a large clinical study (McFadden, 1968) |
| Diabetes is possible only in over-breathers
|
|
The international medical norm for breathing is 6 l/min at rest. A group of Italian medical researchers from the University of Ancona reported in the Chest magazine that 28 patients with diabetes breathed from 10 to 20 l/min (Tantucci et al, 1997).A more recent 2003 study found that |
