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.

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

all vital organs

Table of Health Zones: Clinical description and ranges for breathing zones:
from the critically ill (severely sick) up to super healthy people
with maximum possible body oxygenation
- Morning hyperventilation: Why people feel
worse and critically ill people are most

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.
