We already discovered that people with chronic diseases have ineffective or heavy breathing pattern 24/7 with deep breathing 24/7 (for clinical studies, visit the Homepage of this site).
While considering carbon dioxide effects, we also found that chronic overbreathing leads to reduced oxygen transport to cells. As a result, ineffective breathing patterns cause tissue hypoxia, chronic inflammation, immunosuppression, and many other negative effects caused by low body-oxygen levels and hypocapnia (reduced CO2 levels).
Meanwhile, it is known that tissue hypoxia is the driving force for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, chronic fatigue and many other health conditions. Hence, the more people breathe, the more severe health problems, diseases, and symptoms they are going to experience.
In this Section we are going to focus on some common chronic diseases :
Asthma
(overview of the main symptoms and signs of asthma, its causes and treatment).
- What causes asthma web page provides details of effects of hyperventilaiton on people with asthma
- How to stop acute asthma Exacerbation educates about a simple breathing exercise that can be used instead of relievers (like Ventolin)
- Asthma treatment is based on elimination of overbreathing since chronic overbreathing leads to low body O2, bronchospasm, chronic inflammation and other signs and symptoms of asthma
- Cure asthma with breathing normalization. If one has normal breathing 24/7, all asthma signs and symptoms disappear within 2-3 weeks (clinical remission).
COPD
(breathing exercises improve lung function tests and wellbeing of COPD patients)
Sinusitis
Cause and proven medical treatment.
- CFTR expression is controlled by lung-blood gases and breathing. Scientific publications link faulty CF gene CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) with O2 levels in cells. Learn how overbreathing amplifies pathological changes caused by this gene.
Heart disease
(Problems with breathing and chronic overbreathing are common clinical features in heart patients.
- Causes of heart disease - Angina pain, poor blood supply to the heart tissue, low O2 levels in heart tissues, and other symptoms of cardiovascular disease are directly caused by overbreathing and reduced CO2 and O2 levels in body tissues
- Angina pectoris - Since each person with heart disease suffers from overbreathing at rest and in normal conditions (no angina pain), any additional trigger or stress can immediately trigger angina pain.
- Stop heart attack - Angina pain can be reduced without medication as well since it has a single cause (hypoxia in the heart muscle on a cellular level and chronic hyperventilation as the physiological cause)
- Heart palpitations - There are simple physical causes of heart palpitations: a lack of grounding (Earthing), low CO2 and O2 levels in heart tissue. Therefore, one can stop heart palpitations with normalization of these key body parameters.
- Myocardial infarction is destruction of tissues of the heart muscle due to obstruction of the blood flow that happen during a heart attack.
Brain and CNS
(Overbreathing creates 3 major abnormalities in the human brain)
- Seizure threshold is controlled by breathing pattern and blood gases. Tens of medical studies have found that voluntary hyperventilation triggers seizures, while hypocapnia in the brain lowers the seizure threshold due to over-excitement of the nerve cells.
- The cause of seizures - Seizures cannot exist in conditions of normal breathing, but can appear when breathing is disturbed.
Anxiety breathing disorders
(Even the name of this condition pinpoints the main cause)
Depression: Hyperventilation reduces brain O2 and CO2 levels causing serious mental and psychological problems.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
How abnormal or ineffective breathing pattern induces chronic fatigue and other debilitating symptoms.
Cancer
Hypoxia is the known key cause of cancer on a cell level. How it relates to breathing of cancer patients? What are the treatment options? Do you know about the clinical trial on breast cancer: reduced breathing cured about 60 women with metastasized breast cancer?
- Cancer and oxygen: Studies claim that O2 levels in cells control development of cancer
- Buteyko Table of Health Zones accurately predicted pulse and respiratory rate interminal cancer
- A special breath holding times test (body O2 test) defines cancer stages
- Clinical trial on HIV-AIDS patients revealed that the body-oxygen test reflects the stage of the disease and symptoms of the patients.
- The HIV-AIDS cause is chronic hyperventilation and there are breathing techniques which can successfully address chronic overbreathing in HIV-AIDS patients.
- HIV-AIDS Therapy
Reduced body-oxygen content is a hallmark of numerous abnormalities related to HIV-AIDS. Hence, breathing normalization is the way to deal with these pathological changes related to digestion, mental life, feeling of energy, sleep, infections and many other lifestyle factors.
Raynaud's disease
Key causes of Raynaud's relate to lack of CO2 and free electrons in cells.
Doctor K. P. Buteyko observed that out of over 20,000 health abnormalities known to medicine, only a small portion (about 150 diseases) relates to breathing and can be successfully addressed with breathing retraining or breathing normalization. Right below here, you can find a link to the list of over 100 health conditions treated in Novosibirsk, Moscow and other cities by Dr K. P. Buteyko and his medical colleagues (with amazing results of clinical trials).
