DIY Body Oxygen Test (Breath-Holding Time) Defines/Determines/Predicts Cancer Stages 1By Dr. Artour Rakhimov, Alternative Health Educator and Author

Cellular hypoxia and cancer

Effects of over breathing on brain oxygen levels Nobel Laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg in his article “The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer” (1966) wrote, “… The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen (oxidation of sugar) in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar…

Modern research completely agrees with his conclusions. Just look at the titles of recent professional studies at the bottom of the page. Note that these are just titles of oncological publications. In total, hundreds of studies claim that low cellular O2 plays a central role in the progress of cancer.

How to measure body oxygenation

While measurements of cell oxygen level require special equipment, you can do a simple test that is very sensitive to body oxygen level. Measure your breath holding time. How it is done? The prominent Russian physiologist who worked for the first Soviet spaceship missions Dr. KP Buteyko, MD was the head of the respiratory laboratory in the 1960s. He stated about 40 years ago, “Oxygen content in the organism can be found using a simple method: after exhalation, observe, how long the person can pause their breath without stress.”

After your usual exhale, pinch your nose and count your BHT (breath holding time) in seconds. Keep nose pinched until you experience the first desire to breathe. Practice shows that this first desire appears together with an involuntary push of the diaphragm or swallowing movement in the throat. (Your body warns you, “Enough!”) If you release the nose and start breathing at this time, you can resume your usual breathing pattern (in the same way as you were breathing prior to the test). Do not extend breath holding too long. This is the most common mistake. You should not gasp for air or open your mouth when you release your nose. The test should be easy and not cause you any stress. The BHT test does not interfere with your usual breathing.

This test became the main measuring tool for about 200 medical professionals who taught the Buteyko breathing self-oxygenation method to thousands of Russian patients with asthma, heart disease, bronchitis, and other conditions. The Buteyko method has over a 40-year history of use in the USSR and Russia. Obviously, these Russian oxygenation doctors had many patients who, in addition, had malignant tumors. What did they find?

What are the usual stress-free BHT numbers of cancer patients?
1-10 s of oxygen – severely sick, critically and terminally ill, usually cancer stages 3 and 4 cancer patients.
10-20 s – cancer patients (cancer stages 1 and 2) whose health state gets progressively worse.
20-40 s of oxygen – people with poor health, but without tumor growth at the current moment.
Over 40 s – gradual disappearance of tumors.

You can do this test many times per day to evaluate the current status of the tumor. Moreover, you can measure the efficiency of various activities on your body oxygenation using the breath-holding time test.

Practically, breath-holding time naturally increases when the person has an easier and more relaxed breathing pattern, while heavy breathing, as we see in sick people, diminishes body oxygenation. This counter-intuitive effect is explained on the web pages of the website www.normalbreathing.com.

This YouTube video clip explains in detail how to do the BHT test: Buteyko CP test.

Best Cancer Clinical Trial Ever

* Updated in 2011:

Metastasized breast cancer clinical trial: Fivefold reduction in 3-year mortality for breathing normalization group (Cancer clinical trial published article and comments). This study completely confirmed the previous finding that cancer stages are defined by body oxygen levels and breathing parameters of patients.

For safety issues, consult your health practitioner first.
The Frolov device helps to increase the CP without complications when it is done safely.
I do not know all your specifics to provide exact answers.

Your answer is helpful.
If I buy the Frolov device, can it help to increase my CP without complication? Or what is the exact basic technique to be practiced in order to increase my CP? I noticed I can do only 20 – 22 s without stress. Should I be worried?

One can surely apply reduced breathing exercises and lifestyle too. As about the cure, the central question for cancer usually relates to one’s ability to get 20-25 s CP 24/7. Otherwise, the diseases progress.

Doctor, we earnestly appreciate the way and manner you treat our questions with all humility. Thank you.
My question here is: for someone who has developed a brain tumor, is it possible to use the reduced breathing practice for its cure?
