If asthma is ruining your life, the Buteyko Method will help you get your life back.
Thursday, May 20th, 2010Buteyko is for Everyone!
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Although the Buteyko Method is recognized worldwide for asthma management many people seek this training for the numerous conditions associated with hyperventilation. This year alone I have taught people with anxiety, panic attacks, sleep apnoea, depression, emphysema, COPD and others who have no illness but wanted to improve their health or sporting performance.
The general rule is “if you are breathing more than normal your health will be adversely affected and you will benefit from Buteyko training”
Once you have learnt the Buteyko Method you have the knowledge for life.

Asthma Cures that Kill?
Friday, January 29th, 2010The claim that 80% of asthma-related deaths are due to the regular use of bronchodilators is a serious charge made by Cornell, Stanford researchers lead by Shelley and Edwin Salpeter. The research team states that the prime culprits are long-acting bronchodilators, such as Serevent and Oxis (Oxese). And even when combined with the steroids Flixotide (Flovent) or Pulmicort to form Seretide (Advair) or Symbicort, these drugs are still thought to be potentially dangerous.
So much so that in North America the Food Drug Adminstration (FDA) has listed them with a “black box warning”, which is the strongest warning that can be applied without banning the drug altogether. Because of this strong warning, in the USA it is rare to find people using more than one puff of these medications more than once a day. In Australia and New Zealand however, this is certainly not the case as people are regularly prescribed two puffs twice a day as if our asthmatic people are somehow different to their US counterparts.
It is not that long ago that people were dying in large numbers from asthma that was attributed to the over-use of bronchodilators in New Zealand. Let’s hope that this does not happen again. If you are prescribed a long-acting bronchodilator, with or without an inhaled steroid, perhaps you could ask your doctor how this is going to improve your health in the future.
We are frequently told by users of these medications that while they no longer have as many asthma symptoms, they are less able to physically perform as well as they used to. This means that walks they used to find easy are now more difficult, or they seem to have more fatigue today than they had two years ago. In many instances these people are now experiencing something that seldom was seen in conjunction with asthma: they are experiencing sleep apnoea.

Asthma & Hypertension Drugs a $50 billion industry built on your stress & overbreathing!
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010The worldwide combined sales of major asthma and hypertension drugs account for 20% of all drug sales. Both of these diseases are closely related to stress that in turn causes hyperventilation. Where hyperventilation is reduced by breathing exercises the need for such medication is reduced by over 50% with both financial benefits to our economy and improved health and wellbeing of its citizens. The Buteyko Method leads the world as a proven aid to hyperventilation management. Now watch a YouTube video that explains how £ billions could be saved in the NHS on drugs that could then be used to help others needing more nursing or expensive medical support Buteyko & The NHS

Sunday, December 13th, 2009Yes, up to 90% of the UK population are breathing too much and making themselves sick! Hyperventilation is the root cause of asthma (in the opinion of Dr Konstantin Buteyko) and perhaps a major factor in over a hundred other diseases that make our lives miserable. The great thing is you can learn how to change that yourself in five days of training with the Buteyko Method.
