YouTube Buteyko videos by Dr. Artour Rakhimov

The most recent video clip: "How to stop heart attack using Buteyko breathing exercise" from YouTube (click on the picture to start)

Buteyko YouTube videos by Dr. Artour Rakhimov include one playlist "Breathing Patterns and Body Oxygenation", that is a detailed and professional introduction to the Buteyko DIY body oxygenation test, common breathing patterns and corresponding oxygenation values, medical respiratory research, physiology of oxygen transport, CO2 effects, lifestyle factors for breathing retraining, and other related topics.

You can also learn more about the Buteyko method by watching the whole YouTube Buteyko playlist. This playlist is on YouTube's Dr. Artour Rakhimov Channel, and it includes the following video clips (each video is about 7-9 minutes long). You can click on the link to watch it on YouTube:
01. Buteyko DIY body oxygen test (Buteyko breathing method) or the control pause test or the key test of the Buteyko method to monitor the progress of the student. It is done after usual exhalation and only until the first or initial stress.
02. Breathing Patterns and Oxygenation of Human Tissues - This is the most important video related to clear explanation of common breathing patterns in healthy (normal breathing pattern), sick (ineffective breathing pattern) and severely sick people (heavy breathing). An additional pattern is called ideal breathing and it is very rare these days.
03-A- Vasodilation-Vasoconstriction CO2 Effects and Buteyko Method - Since overbreathing is very common in people with chronic diseases, and most conditions do not include ventilation-perfusion mismatch, overbreathing reduces arterial CO2 and causes vasoconstriction, while increased CO2 induces vasodilation since CO2 is probably the most potent known vasodilator.
03-B- Bohr Effect and CO2, Buteyko method - Normal CO2 levels in tissues promote the Bohr effect that controls release of oxygen in capillaries. When we suffer from tissue hypocapnia (Co2 deficiency in cells), we suffer from the suppressed Bohr effect or reduced oxygen release by hemoglobin cells. This causes tissue hypoxia that is a hallmark of nearly all chronic diseases.
03-C- Brain Health and CO2 muscle effects (Buteyko breathing method) - Our breathing patterns have profound effects on brain health. Most modern people breathe about 2 times more air than the norm and therefore have reduced blood flow, oxygen delivery and glucose transport to nerve cells. In addition, hypocapnia (low CO2) makes nerve cells over-excited or irritable.
04- The main change in environment during human evolution - Air composition had dramatic changes many billions years ago since life on Earth appeared at very high CO2 levels (up to 8-12% in outer air) and almost no oxygen (less than 1%). Therefore, overbreathing or hyperventilation was beneficial for this primitive air and did not cause any health problems due to high CO2 levels in air. Now the effects are opposite.
05- How we breathe in the morning (Buteyko breathing method) - People with health problems and especially severely sick people are most likely to have exacerbations due to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy seizures, asthma exacerbations and many other attacks from 4 to 7 am or during early morning hours. The video provides medical research and explains main addressable causes for this Sleep Heavy Breathing Effect.
06-A- Quality of life and sleep (the Buteyko breathing method) - Sleep quality is tightly linked with breathing patterns since states of the brain and muscles and their recovery depends on CO2 and O2 levels in tissues. Overbreathing or deep breathing causes losses in CO2 and O2 making sleep worse and longer, while only 2-4 hours of sleep are necessary for people with very light and easy breathing patterns.
06-B- Breathing, energy, digestion and performance - How breathing patterns influence our quality of life and such parameters as feeling of energy, digestion and performance. The effects are profound due to the fundamental roles of CO2 and O2 for the brain and all other organs of the human body.
07- Quality of life in exceptional health - If you want to experience how it feels to be really healthy and live the way humans are supposed to live, then you need to get the ideal automatic breathing pattern that provides the body with maximum possible oxygen levels.
08- Ineffective breathing and mortality in the sick - Severely sick people have very heavy breathing and that causes critically low levels of oxygen in all body cells. The condition is called respiratory alkalosis and over 90% of terminally ill patients die in conditions of severe hyperventilation
09- Bad genes and genetics affect health only if breathing is abnormal, while normal breathing protects from chronic diseases. Indeed, chronic diseases are based on low body oxygen levels, and the main cause of tissue hypoxia is breathing too much air. Therefore, numerous genetic disorders and other chronic health problems appear only in people who breathe more than the medical norm.
10-1. Sedentary lifestyle and Stress Decrease Body Oxygen Level and Destroy Health - This happens due to intrinsic properties of the human body. When under stress or due to lack of physical exercise, we start to breathe more air at rest and our results for the body oxygen test become smaller and smaller.
10-2. Why mouth breathing and Lack of Swaddling Reduce Cell Oxygenation - There are several negative effects due to mouth breathing. For example, it reduces CO2 levels in the lungs causing reduced oxygen delivery. In addition, we cannot utilize our own nasal nitric oxide generated in sinuses. Lack of swaddling in babies causes unrestricted breathing and low pressure of oxygen in cells.
10-3. Nutritional deficiencies, overeating, overheating reduce body oxygen levels since they produce stress for the human body and distort or suppress various normal processes and mechanisms. Increased ventilation is a result of this biochemical stress. Therefore, these factors cause low CO2 and reduce oxygen levels in body tissues.
10-4. How and why most medical drugs and toxins harm health - The mechanism is about the same as for the previous video: toxic chemicals cause overbreathing due to stress on organs of elimination, such as the kidneys and liver.

There are also old and short Buteyko YouTube videos devoted to certain topics such as:
How to Sleep Less Naturally and Feel Better - Lighter or easier breathing at rest produces positive effects of quality of sleep and its duration. People start to sleep much less. With up to 60 seconds for the body oxygen test, a person naturally needs only about 4 hours of sleep and cannot sleep longer.
We Do Not Notice When We Hyperventilate and Have Less O2 in Cells - People generally notice that their breathing is to heavy, when they breathe about 4-5 times more air than the medical norm. However, negative effects of overbreathing (e.g., reduced brain and body oxygen content) take place when one breathes about twice the norm.
Deep Breathing the greatest health superstition - People generally believe that breathing more is good for our health, and deep automatic breathing patterns provide cells with more oxygen. However, medical studies showed that breathing more delivers less oxygen to the brain and all other vital organs.
The Best Ever Known Health Test DIY Body Oxygen test or Buteyko control pause test accurately predicts health of up to 98% or more people. This simple DIY body oxygen test is much better than any other health test since its results are good in healthy people (up to about 40 seconds or more) and poor in the sick (generally less than 20 seconds).
3 Crucial effects of breathing on brain and mental health - When we breathe more air at rest day and night, and this is the case with most people, we experience lack of oxygen, insufficient circulation, deficiency of CO2 and reduced glucose supply for the brain and nerve cells
How to breathe for maximum body oxygenation? What is the best automatic breathing pattern to maximize brain and body oxygen values? While most people believe in breathing more, better results can be obtained with breathing less.

In fact, most people and most techniques do not have any criteria of success, but there is a simple test that reflects the degree and direction of one's progress.

Note that many Buteyko Google Video clips are longer than Buteyko YouTube videos since Google Video limit for one video was 30 minutes, while YouTube accept videos that are no longer than 10 minutes.

Daily Motion (DailyMotion.com) Channel by Dr. Artour Rakhimov have the same video as on YouTube:
