Effects of Breathing Exercises on Osteochondrosis, Polyarthritis, Bone Fractures

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Osteochondrosis

- Elimination of the symptoms (pain and unpleasant sensations due to bony necrosis).
- With the increased CP, gradual normalization of restorative processes in the affected areas and bone re-growth.
- High CPs (over 35 s) for some weeks result in healing of the bone in a relatively normal shape and absence of any symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery, as in case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, and the need for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications (e.g., arthritis).
- Significant improvements in the quality of life.

Polyarthritis

- Immediate reduction or elimination of pain.
- With the increased CP, gradual reduction in joint swelling, and their stiffness and restrictions of movements.
- When the student achieved 35 s morning CP and maintained this level for some weeks, normalization of the regenerative processes in the affected areas leads to elimination of degenerative processes, inflammation, and joint damage and complete disappearance of symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery and the need for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications.
- Normalization of the emotional life of the students and significant improvements in the quality of life.

Chronically poor healing of bone fractures

- Immediate reduction or elimination of pain.
- With the increased CP, gradual reduction in possible swelling, stiffness, and restrictions of movements.
- When the student achieved 35 s morning CP and maintained this level for some weeks, normalization of the regenerative processes in the affected areas leads to elimination of degenerative processes, inflammation, and healing of the fracture and complete disappearance of symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery and the need for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications.
- Significant improvements in the quality of life.

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.
