What other world's leading Buteyko trainers and practitioners wrote about this book

"... It is not just another book on Buteyko. It really fills in some gaps and addresses some real needs. I purchased one and read the first couple of chapters last night and flicked through the rest. What a fabulous resource it is. I would highly recommend it to everyone. We will definitely make it part of the required reading for the Eucapnic- Buteyko Practitioner Training Course… "
- Rosalba Courtney, Buteyko teacher, Chairperson of the Buteyko Practitioners Association in Australia (www.buteyko.com).

"This is the most comprehensive scientific work available in the west on Buteyko's work"
- Peter Kolb, Biomedical Engineer (Australia), Dr. Buteyko's personal friend, Buteyko teacher and creator of the largest web-site devoted to the Buteyko method for Asthma.

"…I have read through your book a number of times and I have came across nothing which would demand a correction. Personally I feel that your book is very well written and is a great help for all practitioners. I would also believe that the information contained is greater than what has been available on most Buteyko practitioner training courses. I have received notes and feedback from most of them and nothing comes close. Furthermore, it is the most informative book available to date on the Buteyko Method which is published in the English language…"
- Patrick McKeown, Leading Buteyko Trainer and Practitioner (Ireland), author of several books about the Buteyko method

"... I've just bought your book yesterday and I want to thank you for all the effort you took to write it. It is good stuff and helps me even better understanding the Buteyko Method. Many thanks..."
- Dirk van Ginneken, Buteyko practitioner and founder of the Buteyko Institute in the Netherlands.

" ...I congratulate you on a really excellent and valuable addition to the fund of available Buteyko knowledge. I think the way you have properly referenced everything gives it real credibility…"
- Victor Lunn-Rockliffe, artist and Buteyko student (England), who contributed to Western Buteyko movement with his numerous drawings used for various Buteyko articles and web-sites.

" ... This is without doubt one of the most comprehensive and rigorous examinations of Buteyko's work and the science behind it, in English language, available today. The book is an excellent reference for Buteyko practitioners and medically trained people and yet is written in a style accessible to all readers. The book is required reading for all my trainee practitioners..."
- Glenn White, Buteyko Practitioner/Practitioner Trainer, Buteyko Breathing Clinics New Zealand.

- Normal minute ventilation: Small and slow breathing at rest is enjoyed by healthy subjects (14 studies)
- Hyperventilation prevalence: Present in over 90% of normal people (24 medical studies)

References: pages about CO2 effect:
- Vasodilation: CO2 expands arteries and arterioles facilitating perfusion (or blood supply) to all vital organs
- The Bohr effect: How and why oxygen is released by red blood cells in tissues
- Cell oxygen levels: How alveolar CO2 influences oxygen transport
- Oxygen transport: O2 transport is controlled by vasoconstriction-vasodilation and the Bohr effects, both of which rely on CO2
- Free radical generation: Reactive oxygen species are produced within cells due to anaerobic cell respiration caused by cell hypoxia
- Inflammatory response: Chronic inflammation in fueled by the hypoxia-inducible factor 1, while normal breathing reduces and eliminates inflammation
- Nerve stabilization: People remain calm due to calmative or sedative effects of carbon dioxide in neurons or nerve cells
- Muscle relaxation: Relaxation of muscle cells is normal at high CO2, while hypocapnia causes muscular tension, poor posture and, sometimes, aggression and violence
- Bronchodilation: Dilation of airways (bronchi and bronchioles) is caused by carbon dioxide, and their constriction by hypocapnia (low CO2)
- Blood pH: Regulation of blood pH due to breathing and regulation of other bodily fluids
- CO2: lung damage: Elevated carbon dioxide prevents lung injury and promotes healing of lung tissues
- CO2: Topical carbon dioxide can heal skin and tissues
- Synthesis of glutamine in the brain, CO2 fixation, and other chemical reactions
- Deep breathing myth: Ignorant and naive people promote the idea that deep breathing and breathing more air at rest is beneficial for health
- Breathing control: How is our breathing regulated? Why hypocapnia makes breathing uneven, irregular and erratic.
