Why do breath holding abilities matter? Low tissue oxygenation is the normal feature for people with asthma, heart disease, chronic fatigue, bronchitis, cancer, acne, sexual importance, diabetes, and many other disorders.

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).

It is likely the most distorted and misrepresented psychological study as well,
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
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
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
Is the Buteyko self-oxygenation breathing therapy better cancer cure than foods and diets?
Since this question was asked on different forums, I decided to write this article. To my knowledge, none of the previous or current medical doctors who practice the Buteyko therapy (over 200 people) claimed that this therapy can cure cancer. However, there are certain clinical observations and known

It has been practiced by over 150 medical doctors to help their patients with
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.

Walking and Exercise with Nose (Not Mouth) Breathing Leads to Slimming Down
Millions of people use physical exercise and try to lose weight or get slim, but cannot succeed due to one serious mistake. There are several essential differences if we compare effects of exercise (e.g., walking) on health and body oxygen levels in obese people. Why could body oxygen
How to prevent mouth breathing during the night
Mouth breathing drastically reduces body oxygenation: the amount of freely available oxygen in tissues is usually reduced almost two times when the person starts to breathe through the mouth, for example, during sleep. Epidemiological studies clearly proved that deaths from heart attacks, asthma, COPD, epilepsy, complications of diabetes,
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
How Cancers Leads to Poor Sleep (with Solutions)
Cancer patients suffer from insomnia and problems with sleep. This link is well documented in recent medical stuides (Berger et al, 2009; Hearson-Sawatzky, 2008; Lee, 2004; Roscoe et al, 2007; Sateia et al, 2008).

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
