Buteyko Breathing Books and DVD by Artour Rakhimov

Display Buteyko book Oxygenate yourself: breathe less The small electronic book "Oxygenate yourself: breathe less" (94 pages; 2009) is about the foundations of the Buteyko breathing method. This book is based on my lectures, seminars, talks and presentations in different countries around the world.

The objective of this book is to explain normal and abnormal breathing patterns; effects of overbreathing or chronic hyperventilation on the human organism; quality of life factors and their relation to breathing; life style risk factors and their influence on breathing; and the appearance and development of various diseases and their relation to breathing. This is an excellent introduction to the Buteyko breathing retraining technique and breathing retraining. More about the small book...

Doctor Buteyko's Discovery Volume 1 by Sergey Altoukhov

Cover for Buteyko Trilogy book Sergey Altoukhov was commissioned by Professor K.P. Buteyko on June 1988 to write the truth about his method. The translation has been taken from the more detailed Two-Volume Edition published in 1993. The content of this written work is fact and is written in the style of a documentary novel. Volume 1 of the trilogy describes Dr Buteyko’s childhood in 1930s Soviet Ukraine and his experiences in World War II. It recounts how Buteyko’s own experience of malignant hypertension as a medical student led him to his discovery, and describes his constant fight for recognition, including his difficulties in gaining a PhD on the basis of his research. The book details his struggle to keep open his Laboratory of Functional Diagnostics on a shoe-string budget in the teeth of strong opposition from the medical establishment. The stories of his closest collaborators at the Laboratory are also recounted. Doctor Buteyko’s Discovery: Volume 1 contains 11 charts illustrating the VEDB Method.

The most important of Buteyko’s practical teachings are contained in the following sections:
* Training Khodakevich (a patient with heart disease) in the Method.
* Stopping an asthma attack in a celebrated school teacher.
* The recipe for Buteyko’s famous ‘borschch and porridge’.
* Stopping an asthma attack in a World War 1 veteran.
* Victory of Sablin (a patient) over ischaemic heart disease.
* An account of a complete lesson in the Buteyko Method given as part of the 1968 Leningrad trial.
* Gudzenko (a patient) learns to control his angina pectoris.

It is important to remember that even the best book is no substitute for training by a Buteyko practitioner, but these practical sections provide a wealth of information for patients. For more details and to buy the book, visit: Doctor Buteyko's Discovery Volume 1 by Sergey Altoukhov.

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 and oxygen transport are controlled by alveolar CO2 and breathing
Oxygen Transport depends on breathing and these two effects (Vasoconstriction-Vasodilation and the Bohr effect) are parts of two diagrams that summarize influences of hypocapnia (low CO2 content in the blood and cells) on circulation and O2 delivery
Free Radical Generation takes place due to anaerobic cell respiration caused by cell hypoxia. Hence, antioxidant defenses of the human body are also regulated by CO2 and breathing
Inflammatory Response is controlled by breathing since hypoxia leads to or intensifies chronic inflammation through over-expression of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1, while normal breathing reduces these processes
Nerve stabilization takes place due to calmative or sedative effects of carbon dioxide in neurons or nerve cells
Muscle relaxation or relaxation of muscle cells is normal at high CO2, while hypocapnia causes muscular tension, poor posture and, sometimes, aggression and violence
Brochodilation - dilation of airways (bronchi and bronchioles) by carbon dioxide, and their constriction due to hypocapnia
CO2: Best Natural Cough Suppressant and "home remedy" since it calms urge-to-cough nerve receptors located in the tracheobronchial tree and larynx
