Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN)
British Guideline on the Management of AsthmaBritish Guideline on the Management of Asthma grants permission for British health professionals to recommend Buteyko, stating that the method "may be considered to help patients control the symptoms of asthma". The guideline also grades clinical research on Buteyko with a 'B' classification - indicating that high quality supporting clinical trials are available. No other complementary therapy has been endorsed by this body for the treatment of asthma.

I would like to hear from you...
We all know that medication can alleviate the symptoms of asthma.
Have you observed any other factors that can help alleviate these symptoms?
Any thoughts?...

Correcting Two Myths About Breathing

Myths
Carbon Dioxide is a waste product and is bad for usThe more we breathe the more oxygen we receive
In both cases the opposite is true

Carbon Dioxide is important to our health and we should learn to normalise (reduce) our breathing so that we retain healthy levels of carbon dioxide.
First Myth
Carbon Dioxide is a waste product and is bad for us

How important is Carbon Dioxide to the Human Body?
Very important. If Carbon Dioxide is low, we cough and splutter and seize up just like the car.

Second Myth
When we normalise (reduce) our breathing we create a higher level of carbon dioxide in our bodies. Carbon Dioxide helps release the Oxygen from the Haemoglobin to the organs, muscles and cells (The Bohr Effect).
The more we breathe the more oxygen we receive

Oxygen is more likely to stick to the hemoglobin when carbon dioxide levels are
lower; thus starving the body of Oxygen.

Overbreathing creates low Carbon Dioxide...
...which in turn creates Oxygen starvation due to the Bohr Effect
which in turn creates Lactic Acid
which creates tension and sore muscles

Oxygen is less likely to stick to the hemoglobin when carbon dioxide levels are
higher. This means that it can then be transferred to the organs, muscles and cells.

In a car we can measure the oil level with the dip stick. We can now measure our Health/Breathing/Carbon Dioxide
level with the Buteyko Control Pause.

Buteyko Control Pause
Qu. How healthy are you?
Sit and relax for 10 minutes before starting.Mouth closed; breathe normally through your nose then pause your breathing on the out breath. Hold your breath until the first slightest sign of wanting to breathe. At this point you should be breathing normally through your nose again. Measure
the time you were holding your breath. This is your control pause.

Buteyko Control Pause Results
Dr Buteyko encourages us to normalise our breathing to reach a 45 seconds Control pause for a healthy life.

ButeykoNormal Breathing
Diagram taken from the Buteyko Breathing Charts
“Of course they should know about it,” he said cautiously, “But I’m worried they may be so eager to count the seconds that they lose sight of the main object – reducing depth of breathing by means of relaxation.” Excerpts from the Buteyko Trilogy
“Experiments revealed that if a patient concentrated his attention on actually keeping count of his frequency of breathing the result was even greater overbreathing. And that results not in a reduction in breathing rate per minute, but in an increase!”

Buteyko, Asthma &The Body’s Protective
Mechanisms
1. There are two parts to Asthma: Smooth Muscle Constriction and Immune System Response (inflamed airways).
2. You may have a Genetic predisposition to Asthma
3. Asthma is one of the body’s defence mechanisms against over-breathing.

Asthma cannot be cured,
Asthma (bronchial spasm) is one of the body’s Protective Mechanisms, protecting us against Breath Increasing Factors inflicted on the human organism
If you have a genetic predisposition to asthma, bronchial spasm will be the dominant protective mechanism.
because there is nothing to cure

Breath Increasing Factors
Mouth Breathing
Overheating (due to clothing, room temperatures & lack of fresh air)
Triggers (sensitivities to food, environment etc.)
Lack of movement/exercise/physical work
Overeating (too much volume, eating too fast & eating too much protein)
Stress, Etc.

Breath Reducing Factors
Nasal Breathing (every breath, in & out through the nose)
Relaxation with keeping good posture (sitting & standing)
Buteyko Therapy including Buteyko Breathing Exercises
Eating restrictions (less volume until the feeling of hunger, less speed & less protein)
Movement, Exercise & Physical work
Etc.
