Summary:
– Buteyko started in the Soviet Union and has cured asthma and other chronic diseases.
– Chronic diseases are known as the diseases of civilisation because they have grown with the so-called modernising of society. Dr. Buteyko’s methods mainly address chronic diseases.
– Carbon dioxide is the key. It is not a pollutant just because it occurs in the industry. Plants use it and is found everywhere.
– When a subject had optimal levels of carbon dioxide, they never suffered from any chronic diseases.
– All subject with chronic diseases suffered a low level of carbon dioxide. An optimal level is 7%.
– Human organisms require 200% more CO2 than we have in the air we breathe.
– Farmers have noticed CO2 has helped plants grow up to 40% better.
– CO2 regulates the update of oxygen – The Bohr Law (Danish physiologist, Christian Bohr).
– CO2 in the form of carbonic acid is the main regulator of the organisms pH or acid-alkali balance. It regulates the brain, heart and other vessels. It also regulates respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, hormonal and immune systems.
– It was noticed that patients either hyperventilated or over-breathe.
– The respiratory centre is located in the medulla oblongata of the brain which regulates breathing. An impulse arises from the centre. The reflex to breath is triggered when a certain level of gasses is reached in the lungs.
– Reconditioning of breathing habits will change the conditions and Dr. Buteyko predicted that giving medications will complicate conditions more.
