Tired of endless diets and dieting for weight loss or less medication? Want a health therapy that is based on exact goals (with specific numbers for you to achieve!) and provides a guarantee of ideal health and absence of chronic disease, medication, and symptoms? Want to know more about the method (the Buteyko breathing method) that was used for the best ever known clinical trial on cancer and 6 most effective trials on asthma? If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, you are on the right page. You can eat tons of supplements and super foods, drink canisters of super drinks, have 100's of colonic irrigations, and practice yoga for hours every day, but, if your breathing remains unchanged, your symptoms, doses of medication, chronic insomnia, and other health problems will likely remain unchanged too. This is because correct breathing brings vital oxygen, and less than 95% of modern people have right breathing. Modern people, including so called "normal subjects," simply breathe too much air day and night. (Exact charts, graphs, studies and numbers are inside the book.) People also believe that it is good to breathe more air at rest, but overbreathing reduces O2 levels in cells. The most successful clinical trial in the whole history of cancer research was conducted using the Buteyko method. The results of this trial on 120 people with metastatic cancer (early metastasis) were published in the Ukrainian Oncology Journal. The group that practiced reduced Buteyko breathing exercises had 6 times less mortality in 3 years in comparison with the control group. (See "Doctors Who Cure Cancer" for more detail.) Here is another fact: 6 most effective Western clinical trials on asthma were conducted using the same Buteyko method that targets elimination of chronic hyperventilation. Diets, yoga and any other "natural" or holistic therapy is not even remotely close to breathing normalization. What is common for cancer and asthma? Symptoms and development of these health problems correlates with O2 levels in body cells. But this is true not only for cancer and asthma, we need more oxygen in body cells to prevent and fight over 150 most popular modern diseases! The conditions are ranging from heart disease and cancer, the main killers in the west, to hormonal and digestive problems, diabetes, and asthma. Natural weight loss and great sleep are common side effects of breathing normalization known to any Buteyko breathing teacher. This book provides an introduction to the Buteyko breathing method and breathing retraining. It provides results of 100s of studies, review of lifestyle factors and clinical trials, effects of breathing retraining on common health problems, as well as analysis of the most important questions related to breathing retraining and long-term success in health restoration. For exact topics covered in this book, see titles of chapters and sections.

A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

This book has been the most comprehensive book on the Buteyko method since 2006. The first edition was available only as a PDF file which had slightly more than 100 pages. Later, it has several major and many minor updates with added sections, results of new clinical trials, and new chapters. The current edition is about 3 times larger than the initial version. The book was written for Buteyko breathing practitioners and advanced students. It provides practical education in physiology of respiration, as well as some unique details related to the application of the Buteyko method. For example, the book provides a list of factors that is required to break through 40 s morning CP (control pause) threshold: the hardest challenge in breathing retraining and the Buteyko breathing technique. For more details, see the content of the book that includes Chapters and sub-Chapters.

This book could be used in order to learn the Buteyko breathing method exercises even by people with poor results for the body oxygen test or the Buteyko CP test (less than 15 s). However, the best results, in cases of self-learning (or DIY methods), are achieved when the learner already has at least 25 s for the body oxygen test. This Kindle and PDF book is advanced, in comparison with other descriptions of Buteyko breathing exercises, in the following areas: The book describes relaxed breathing exercises for people with hypertension and panic attacks. These groups of learners are often unable to safely do breath holds and practice ordinary Buteyko reduced breathing exercises. Air hunger can worsen their symptoms. The book explains how to proceed from easy Buteyko breathing exercises to its more advanced types. This relates to breathing exercises with a moderate and strong degree of air hunger. Chapter 4 of this book provides practical scripts for the use of visualization and imagery during Buteyko breathing exercises. The book explains optimum and maximum durations for Buteyko breathing sessions. It also describes the phenomenon of overtraining due to Buteyko breathing exercises and steps that are necessary in order to solve this problem. Chapter 5 explains the phenomenon of a lost CO2 sensitivity, which should not be confused with the blunted CO2 sensitivity. The book provides practical step-by-step instructions how to overcome both of these health challenges using lifestyle changes and other special methods. The book describes instructions for application of Buteyko breathing exercises during physical activity. Chapter 6 describes the "click effect" that leads to nearly instantaneous transition to much better results for the body oxygen test (the CP test). For some (lucky) students, the click effect helps them to quickly break through 40 s threshold for the morning CP and achieve astonishing health benefits. These health effects include natural cravings for physical exercise and raw foods, sleep that is no longer than 4.5 hours (without trying), amazing clarity of mind, very high energy levels and other natural changes. The book does not include description of those lifestyle changes (related to sleep, physical exercise, diet and so forth) that lead to increased body oxygenation. It focuses on practice and progress related to the Buteyko breathing exercises.

The Pocket Book is for use by doctors nurses and other health workers who are responsible for the care of young children at the first level referral hospitals. This second edition is based on evidence from several WHO updated and published clinical guidelines. It is for use in both inpatient and outpatient care in small hospitals with basic laboratory facilities and essential medicines. In some settings these guidelines can be used in any facilities where sick children are admitted for inpatient care. The Pocket Book is one of a series of documents and tools that support the Integrated Managem.

Your health mainly depends on one factor only: your body oxygen level that is measured using the body oxygen test. If you have more than 30 seconds for the body oxygen test, you do not need this book because there are better methods and techniques that will help you to move further. If you have less than 20 seconds, you are in a state of poor health. People with chronic diseases nearly always have less than 20 seconds. This is the conclusion of Russian and Soviet MDs who tested more than 200,000 people with various chronic health problems. They also found that if these people get more than 30 seconds for the body oxygen test, they will be free from their symptoms and medication. This breathing technique has been tested on more than 200 students. The results are impressive. Over 90% of my students were able to reduce or eliminate their medication and experience relief from symptoms of numerous chronic conditions in about 1-2 months. It all depends on your final CP (body oxygenation) results. For most students the Amazing DIY device is even more efficient than the Buteyko breathing exercises that I have been teaching for over 7 years. Together with addressing main lifestyle factors described in this book, it is the fastest and most efficient among common breathing techniques in order to achieve a 30 second CP 24/7 and eliminate symptoms and medication related to many common chronic conditions. How to improve body oxygenation? You need to slow down your automatic breathing (breathe slower and less 24/7). This is also the advice of traditional ancient yoga and all eastern healing techniques. Western science also tells us that breathing more air (hyperventilation or deep breathing) reduces O2 levels in all vital organs of the human body. (Very slow deep breathing exercise Pranayama has positive effects, if you get more CO2 in the lungs.) You can try various methods and techniques to increase your body oxygenation, but based on years of my teaching the Buteyko method and breathing retraining to hundreds of people, I can positively claim that the Amazing DIY breathing device is an excellent and affordable option to get a body oxygen boost and solve most of your health problems. (If you are wealthy and can pay for our luxurious online lessons, you can surely join our Oxygen Remedy webinars.) Based on a) many years of my own experience teaching breathing normalization to hundreds of students and b) clinical trials of breathing retraining techniques, here is a short summary of the key findings. While the Buteyko breathing method possesses the most versatile and powerful program in relation to lifestyle factors, use of the Amazing DIY breathing device provides a student with the fastest possible body oxygen level increase after one breathing session. This is manifested in a higher CP (Control Pause). Hatha Yoga is another great breathing retraining technique, but it is very slow to learn and, unfortunately, there are very few, if any, yoga teachers in the west who understand how oxygen gets into cells (most of them believe that CO2 is "a waste gas"). Hence, you have to go to India to learn traditional hatha yoga that will improve your breathing and health. The suggested solution is the Amazing DIY breathing device, but my program also includes training in all the relevant lifestyle factors, which were so brilliantly pinpointed by Dr. Buteyko.
