Rating 5 of 5 - Finally an Offensive Thinker in the Game Against Asthma

Can you answer the following?

• Why do I continue to need my inhaler after 1, 5, 15 years?
• Why do my airways constrict?
• How could I begin to change the physiology of my body to live with asthma better?

If you are willing to take the chance, get this book and read it, think about it, and do the exercises. Just by concentrating on nose breathing and keeping my mouth closed 24 hours a day, I have begun to concentrate less on how much air I take in and instead on how I should decrease the amount and let my nose do its job. More MD's should be trained in the Buteyko breathing method…

Rating 5 of 5 - Information that every asthmatic should know about

I loved this book. Simple, concise, practical and honest. Look at your lifestyle and make simple changes to your breathing. You know you are on the right track when you feel a lot better.

Rating 4 of 5 - Absolute must for asthmatics

Buteyko breathing and helpful accounts of diet and exercise- ground breaking stuff. I would advise readers to do their research on Buteyko especially if they have breathing related problems. The site of the book is http://www.asthma-care.com/ - look at the history, conditions, and scientific evidence from the New Zealand Medical Journal and Australia Medical Journal. It is incredible that this approach has not being adopted into mainstream medication - maybe this will happen but will surely take time. You can take the first steps now- read this book

Rating 5 of 5 - The only solution

Asthma free naturally. The medical profession has overlooked probably the only factor guaranteed to help solve your asthma. For some reason, people are not told to close their mouth or to correct their breathing. Why is this?

Is there too much income to be earned from the existing structure? The Asthma Society who are supposed to be our friends are funded by drug companies and so are afraid to rock the boat.

Give asthmatics inhalers for the rest of their life and spend no research on hyperventilation. The medical profession has a lot to answer for.

Meanwhile millions suffer- people like you and me.

If you are asthmatic- you will understand what I mean from reading this book. I cannot understand the logic, of why the Buteyko breathing method is not taught to every adult and child.

Rating 4 of 5 - Every Asthmatic Should Read This Book

For over ten years, I have grappled with asthma and little did I know that a simple breathing technique and lifestyle guidelines could provide me with such positive and life changing results.

The book itself is well laid out, information at the start is a general synopsis of what asthma is about and the bones of the self help follows on. It was easy to follow with little jargon and the exercises themselves were easy to understand. It did take a little while for me to make the switch from mouth to nasal breathing and apply other recommendations such as keeping the mouth closed at night.

One exercise teaching how to unblock the nose works like magic - by simply holding the breath. Now I nasal breathe, my coughing and wheezing has improved dramatically. I recommend this book to any person with asthma.
