Part 6. General approach to the treatment of cancer

The main goal of cancer treatment is to eliminate the foundation of cancer: tissue hypoxia. Cancer treatment, therefore, should be based on the restoration of normal breathing parameters (minute ventilation, blood carbon dioxide content, tissue oxygenation, the CP, etc.). Normalization of breathing can take days or months depending on age, obesity, and general tissue pollution especially due to medication.

The most advanced system of breathing retraining is based on the Buteyko breathing method. The ultimate goal of the Buteyko method is to achieve his standard of ideal health manifested in 60 s CP at any time of the day or night. Such breath holding time ensures thorough oxygenation of all tissues and inability of appearance of any tumor or existence of conditions for tumor elimination.

The Buteyko method includes 2 components: breathing exercises (to be practiced about 1 hour per day or more) and common sense activities based on optimization of lifestyle factors. In relation to the life style, the Buteyko method includes simple and easy to follow rules:
- Eat only when you are really hungry and stop at first signs of satiety.
- Breathe only through the nose, even during physical activity.
- Go to bed in the evening, when you are really sleepy, and get up in the morning upon awakening.
- Maintain correct posture through the whole day to ensure diaphragmatic breathing.
Etc.

Some ideas or principles of the Buteyko method are adjusted to individual needs of the patient (e.g., exercise, sleep positions, diet, and supplements). Russian practice clearly revealed that very few patients are able to learn the method from the manual or book. The presence of a breathing teacher is crucial for permanent breathing retraining.

An important practical observation of breathing teachers is that restoration of tissues, including elimination of inflammation, malignant and benign tumours, various types of fibroblasts, plaque, cysts, papillomas or polyps, adenomas, lymphomas, keratoacanthomas, and granulomas need at least 30-35 s CP at all times. The duration of restoration depends on many factors related to the current homeostasis and input parameters of the biological system that is monitored through changes in respiratory characteristics, especially the CP (Control Pause). According to observations of Russian doctors, the Buteyko method can reverse earlier stages of cancer (stages 1 and 2), while there is definite improvement in the quality of life for patients who have cancer in stages 3 and 4.

Specifically, cancer treatment also requires appropriate nutritional support, including use of enzymes, raw diet, sprouting, etc. However, it should be noted, that none of these auxiliary factors (or special diet or supplements) or even all of them are not going to work, unless the fundamental cause of cancer (hypoxia) is addressed. The person may adhere to the best diet and eat kilograms of super foods but if, for example, the morning CP is about 15 s or less general progress is unlikely. Indeed, the cancer patient may have about 30-35 s CP during the day but only 15 s in the morning due to morning hyperventilation between 4 and 7 am. The positive effects of light easy breathing and good oxygenation during the day, when the tumour is shrinking is size, will be counteracted by growth of the tumour during the 3 hours of morning hyperventilation.

Hence, it is crucial to better manage the minimum or morning CP for faster recovery. The personal program in relation to morning hyperventilation depends on such factors as breathing through the mouth at night, sleeping on the back, overheating, poor air quality, etc.

More information about the Buteyko method can be found on the Internet and books devoted to this amazing natural self-oxygenation therapy.

Conclusion. The main goal of cancer treatment is to eliminate the foundation of cancer: tissue hypoxia. Cancer treatment, therefore, should be based on the restoration of normal breathing parameters (minute ventilation, blood carbon dioxide content, tissue oxygenation, the CP, etc.). Currently, there is only one therapy which aims to increase body oxygenation: the Buteyko breathing method, a medical program to conquer diseases.
