Causes of mucus and how to treat it naturally with Buteyko and breathing retraining - Interview with Dr. Artour Rakhimov

Causes of excessive mucus and its treatment remedy: cure your sputum problems naturally in 2 minutes with simple breathing exercise. 

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov addresses the question about causes of excessive mucus and how to cure excessive phlegm production.

When people have respiratory conditions, they produce a lot more phlegm or mucus. The sources of mucus can be very different. For some people, it can be from nasal congestion. Other people can have it produced from their lungs. While for others it is from an infection or diet.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov has interesting experiences from observing his students that start to improve their body-oxygen levels. The students perform a daily do-it-yourself body-oxygen test. Healthy numbers for the test are about 40 seconds and over. Soviet doctors did these tests on over half a million people. When Dr. Artour Rakhimov's students begin the breathing retraining journey, they start with very low numbers from 10 to 20 seconds.

 People at these numbers have very frequent infections. When mucus is a green or yellow colour, it means the body already defeated bacteria in the body and is getting rid of it. Dr. Artour Rakhimov's students that achieve 20 or more seconds for the body-oxygen test have reversed their lactic acid cycle. This relates to the free radicals in the body. The body becomes much cleaner, energy levels become higher and sleep is improved. Also, in relation to this specific video topic, their immune system becomes strong. This allows students to stop having frequent sinus infections.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov had students that mentioned they had mucus that was clear in colour. If these students had already improved their body-oxygen test, then this would relate to diet. Different foods cause extra mucus in the body. The number one cause of clear mucus is dairy products. Here it usually relates to lactose or casein. Some of these people may just take out the milk from their diet and this helps them. Others remove all dairy products to eliminate all casein out of the diet. Sour cream and especially butter are safer dairy products. Also, taking out dairy products reduces calcium intake from the diet.

The Spanish version of this page is “Cómo deshacerse de la flema en 2 minutos” http://www.respiracionnormal.org/como-deshacerse-de-la-flema/ .

Foods that can cause mucus are also starches and carbohydrates. These include all types of grain, corn and rice. Additionally, poor chewing of starches and carbohydrates is problematic as the pancreas has poor abilities to digest starches. Less than 1,000 years there were no starches in the diet. If people chew starches from 100 to 150 times and it becomes liquid-like, then it is safe to consume them. Further, people use low carb diets to help reduce mucus. Ketogenic diets and low carbs are very effective. When people eliminate starches they have little or no soiling (residue on the anus).

Dr. Artour Rakhimov's students that have 50 to 60 seconds for the body-oxygen test have completely eliminated soiling. Other problematic foods can include meat, fish and eggs. For some people, it greatly increases mucus. When these people increase their body-oxygen level to 20 to 30 seconds, it helps reduce this problem. Breathing retraining is the most beneficial and long term to solution eliminating excess mucus and phlegm.

The Only Main Cause And Natural Treatment for Snoring with Buteyko And Breath Retraining – Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz discuss causes and natural treatment for snoring. Dr. Artour Rakhimov's students would not seek interest in breathing retraining specifically for snoring problems. They would come in for serious problems such as asthma, bronchitis, high blood pressure, diabetes and other health problems. Snoring is a condition that is common for people that already have health problems. Snoring occurs when people breathe heavily 24/7. A key point of breathing retraining is to slow down breathing patterns.

There is a lot more information on the homepage of Normalbreathing.com and on Dr. Artour Rakhimov's other videos on the channel. There are links provided to the mentioned websites. Hyperventilation causes us to have less oxygen in our body. When Dr. Artour Rakhimov has students practice breathing retraining, snoring is eliminated naturally. More about this most natural treatment of snoring with Buteyko breathing and breath retraining: http://www.normalbreathing.com/stop-snoring.php .

Snoring takes place when people too heavily and they breathe almost twice the amount than the medical norm. The medical norm for the CP test is 20 seconds. The related factor is the abilities of carbon dioxide to dilate the airways. When people have problems with snoring, the smooth muscles around the airways constrict. This makes air move faster. People that have problems with snoring they have various abnormalities related to muscles in the mouth.

This page in Spanish deals with how to stop mouth breathing at night: “Tratamiento para detener respiración bocal” http://www.respiracionnormal.org/deten-respiracion-bocal/ .

Also, sinusitis could be another factor as well because the nose is blocked. Many students of Dr. Artour Rakhimov got rid of snoring naturally with only breathing retraining. Volker has been a breathing practitioner since 2014. All of his students stopped snoring relatively soon after practicing breathing retraining.

Snoring is more of a symptom than an actual health condition. It can lead to serious other health problems. Also, snoring is often the evidence of the beginning stage of health problems. Students following Volker's breathing retraining course would take usually less than a week to stop snoring. For some people, it takes a bit longer to completely stop snoring. These people will stop snoring once they improve their rate of progress in getting higher body-oxygen levels. Students begin with a CP level of 10 to 15 seconds. With 20 to 30 seconds on the CP test, 100 % of students will not have any episodes of snoring.

Eliminating snoring is a great side effect of breathing retraining. There is one specific technique designed to stop snoring that will be discussed in the proceeding video. This relates to mouth taping at night. Mouth taping prevents breathing through the mouth and it prevents body-oxygen levels dropping at night.

How to Treat Hypertension Naturally With Buteyko Method and Breathing Retraining

Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz about effects of breathing retraining on hypertension

From Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience breathing retraining works really well for students with hypertension. If people maintain a high body-oxygen level they can continue to not have hypertension cured with Buteyko naturally and breathing retraining. To maintain a high body-oxygen level students have to practice breathing exercises and physical exercises. Measuring the body-oxygen level is done with a simple DIY control pause test. It is described in Dr. Artour Rakhimov's other YouTube videos.

Following are some practical topics discussed. What is the initial stage of someone that has hypertension? There was a medical study that examined breath holding time in people with different degrees of hypertension. People with severe forms of hypertension had very low results for the test. The test results were equivalent to about 10 seconds for the control pause test.

One breathing retraining student with 10 seconds on the CP test was Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father. His father visited him in Canada with that level. Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father had very severe hypertension with headaches. Previously he was very active and would like to ski. In Canada, he was breathing with his chest and through his mouth. This has drastic effects on body-oxygen levels. Going upstairs would make him breathe heavily. Also, he was overweight by 30 pounds and he had problems with sleep.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov taught his hypertensive father and nephew breathing retraining together. They would compete to get a higher CP level. When he achieved about 20 seconds, he was able to walk fast with only nasal breathing. He started to reduce medication by about half. More details about natural treatment of hypertension: http://www.normalbreathing.com/buteyko-method-treat-hypertension.php . 

There is also a Spanish page about "hipertensión cuando comenzaron el reentrenamiento respiratorio" http://www.respiracionnormal.org/aprendizaje-corazon/ .

When Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father reduced his breathing, his medication was too strong for him. It is important to be monitored when doing breathing retraining and taking medication. Having too low blood pressure can be dangerous and you can faint. High blood pressure changes relatively fast when doing breathing retraining. This is good for getting rid of symptoms but requires a careful review of medication dosages. Dr. Artour Rakhimov had many students with hypertension that achieved 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test. They were mostly able to get stop taking medication.

It is required to maintain 40 seconds for the morning control pause. Overnight is when body-oxygen levels tend to drop for many students. Having 40 or 50 seconds on the test people will have lots of energy and be able to exercise a lot. Based on Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience and thousands of doctors in the Soviet Union, hypertension was the second most common problem after asthma to be treated with breathing retraining.

How to improve cardiovascular endurance and increase VO2max naturally - Interview with Dr. Artour Rakhimov

Breathing information and the use of body-oxygen levels for increased VO2max, better cardiovascular endurance and improved oxygen delivery to body cells during physical exercise. This video is for motivated athletes and even professionals in long distance running, marathon triathlon cross country skiing, orienteering, cycling, and so forth. This same information is helpful for COPD, cancer, HIV-AIDS, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, cystic fibrosis and many other health problems. In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov addresses the question, “How to improve cardiovascular endurance and VO2max naturally?”. More info with Tables and images can be found here:

http://www.normalbreathing.com/cardiovascular-endurance.php . The Spanish version of this page is “Resistencia Cardiovascular y Cómo Mejorar la Entrega de O2 - Mejorando la Resistencia Física” http://www.respiracionnormal.org/ejercicio-fisico/ .

Dr. Artour Rakhimov's method to improve cardiovascular endurance is to change unconscious breathing patterns throughout the day and night. He will go into detail about how people that have poor health or chronic health problems will have problems with exercising. An important factor that shows this correlation is the quantity of people's breath per minute. The medical norm for breathing at rest is 6 litres per minute. This is a very small amount and there would be barely any noticeable bodily movements when breathing. On the Normalbreathing.com homepage, it shows sick people breathe 2.5 times more than the medical norm or 15 litres per minute. This is a significant difference in air quantity and the type of health these people experience.

People that breathe a lot less than the medical norm have about 60 seconds for the body-oxygen test. Due to their unconscious and light breathing patterns, they have a lot more oxygen in their body. This means a lot more energy and a higher capacity to do intensive physical exercise. Also, they naturally breathe with their nose even during intensive exercise. Additionally, they sleep around 4 hours or less. There are many other associated health benefits for having such a high level for the body-oxygen test.

Sick people have around 12 seconds for the body-oxygen test. When they exercise they breathe with their mouth and have other problems. In turn, mouth breathing has drastic effects on body oxygen levels. If these individuals engage in light jogging, they need to use about 10 times more energy and oxygen than at rest. Also, they receive more CO2 in the body at this time. Furthermore, minute ventilation will be increased about 10 times.

A regular person will breathe about 60 liters per minute when exercising. During exercise, their breathing will get slightly louder. Sick people breathe about 15 liters per minute at rest. While they breathe about 10 times more when exercising and that is about 150 liters per minute. This is the maximum a person can breathe. This rate dramatically reduces their ability to physically exercise. In order to improve endurance, breathing patterns from the whole day should be examined.

Breathing exercises used by Dr. Artour Rakhimov include the Buteyko breathing technique. Dr. Buteyko was a leading Soviet physiologist. In the early 1960's, he achieved the position as the Manager of the Respiratory Laboratory created for classified scientific research for the Soviet Cosmos and the first outer space missions (which had the 1964 flight of Yury Gagarin, the first man in space).

The Buteyko Method has been applied by medical doctors on more than 100,000 asthmatics, over 30,000 people with cardiovascular issues and thousands of patients with other conditions (diabetes, cancer, bronchitis, sleep apnea, HIV-AIDS, liver cirrhosis and more). Dr. Buteyko would instruct sick patients to do up to 2 to 3 hours of daily breath work. There are now many professional athletes in triathlon, cross country skiing, long distance running, marathon, orienteering, and cycling who benefited from the Buteyko method.

How to Tape Mouth for Good Night Sleep: Prevent Nocturnal Oral Breathing Artour Rakhimov

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz discuss how to tape mouth taping before sleep for having taped lips the whole night to prevent nocturnal oral breathing and keep the lips and mouth closed.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov, Buteyko Breathing expert, and Volker Schmitz, Buteyko teacher, discuss how mouth taping can help people reduce heavy breathing while sleeping patterns. Russian physician, Dr. Buteyko, discovered that heavy breathing at night exacerbates chronic health conditions. Night-time breathing is important because many disease conditions manifest when sleeping.

Volker demonstrates how to place the tape on the mouth to prevent mouth breathing at night. Volker demonstrates the vertical, horizontal, and side taping positions across the mouth. Dr. Artour talks about how some people are afraid to tape their mouths; however, it has been proven effective and safe.

Dr. Artour and Volker both agree that if one wakes up with a dry mouth in the morning, then mouth taping can be an ingenious solution to keeping one’s mouth closed while sleeping. Heavy breathing is less likely to happen during sleep when one’s mouth is closed.

There is one technique that is utilized during sleep in the breathing retraining course.  That technique is mouth taping.  When people snore at night, their mouth opens.  This is one of the two central factors that leads to high mortality and poor health.  This contributes to very low morning control pause numbers or the morning body-oxygen test.  Students that breathe through their mouths have their body-oxygen numbers drop significantly overnight.  Early morning hours is when people have attacks of strokes, epilepsy, asthma, COPD, the heart and people have the highest mortality at this time.

There are two practical steps that people need to improve respiration.  They are posture and the way they breathe through the mouth or nose during the night.  Dr. Rakhimov has several recent videos related to posture on his YouTube channel.  These included what positions are the best: left, right, supine, sitting, on the chest and so forth.  The topic of breathing through the mouth vs the nose is going to be expanded on now.

Thousands of students use this mouth taping technique with amazing results. More details are here: http://www.normalbreathing.com/l-mouth-taping.php . The Spanish verwsion of this page is “Cómo dormir con su boca cerrada: tápela durante la noche” - http://www.respiracionnormal.org/tapando-su-boca/ .

About 80 to 90 percent of the people that perform this technique will notice a huge difference in how they feel in the morning.  It is very inexpensive to purchase the tape needed.  In this video, a broad type of mouth tape is shown.  Ordinary surgical tape (3M) from a pharmacy can be used.  About 5 to 6 centimetres of tape is required over the mouth.  If you are scared to totally close your mouth, you can apply tape on half of the mouth.  It is even possible to apply the tape if you have a beard.  You can use some vaseline, cream or oil to make it easier to take off if the tape is very sticky.  There is a survey of about 5,000 cases of individuals that used mouth taping.  Only 1 or 2 individuals had minor problems because they had very sticky tape and in the morning they had some bleeding.  Volker and Dr. Rakhimov recommend experimenting with different tapes to get one that is most suitable for yourself.

How can people over time stop the need for mouth taping?  Mouth taping can look weird and most people prefer to just use it for about a few months.  When people change their breathing patterns 24/7, the number one cause of snoring, they will not need to use mouth taping to keep the lips closed.  Mouth sealing with a surgical tape is a short-term solution for snoring.  Our body-oxygen test can be measured with a simple DIY test.  People that snore have less than 20 seconds for the test.  When people breathe through their nose at night, their morning control pause test will be better.   At about 25 seconds for the test, no more mouth taping is required for the test.  Some people that have improved their body-oxygen test still use the tape for specific situations.  When people drink alcohol, this makes them breathe with their mouth at night to keep the mouth closed.  They will use mouth taping for these specific nights.  This is not ideal as alcohol also lowers body-oxygen levels.  Additionally, people that eat a meal very late at night will use mouth taping.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov is the author of 9 Amazon books. He is a breathing retraining teacher and practitioner. Volker Schmitz is Dr. Artour Rakhimov's student, friend and he is also a breathing practitioner teacher. Dr. Artour Rakhimov has lived in Toronto Canada for 20 years. Volker has been teaching Qi Gong and Tai Chi to groups of students for over 15 years. Also, he is currently teaching breathing retraining. This video is an introduction to a variety of topics related to breathing retraining. Among theses topics, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker are going to explain and demystify about how we change our breathing patterns. Also, they discuss how this helps many serious health conditions and more simple problems. They will discuss their own experience and cases when working with students.

Volker asks Dr. Artour Rakhimov “Can you explain why you got interested in breathing”? Dr. Rakhimov previously addressed this question in his videos with Chris Prokop. They are available on Dr. Artour Rakhimov's YouTube channel. He explained his personal experience. Breathing retraining helped to solve his health problems that included blood sugar problems and sinusitis. These are included in the video, Improve blood glucose control (reactive hyper-hypoglycemia) and Sinusitis cured with Buteyko breathing retraining. Dr. Artour Rakhimov discovered that there were breathing retraining teachers all over the world, but they could not understand Russian. 200 hundred medical doctors were taught breathing retraining by Dr. Buteyko in Russia. They accumulated lots of clinical experience and lots of successful clinical trials for cancer. In the former Soviet Union, breathing retraining was tried on a very professional level. These details will also be expanded on in this video series.

Breathing exercises that are a part of Dr. Artour Rakhimov's courses include the Buteyko breathing technique for students and practitioner training. Dr. Buteyko was the leading breathing retraining teacher in teaching medical doctors in the Soviet Union. Also, he was a significant physiologist. His method has spanned the globe and can be found helping people across North America, Europe, Australia and in other areas. In the early 1960's, Dr. Buteyko held the position as the Manager of the Respiratory Laboratory. It was created for classified scientific research for the Soviet Cosmos and the first outer space missions (including the 1964 flight of Yury Gagarin, the first man in space).

Treat and cure hypothyroidism naturally with Buteyko method and breathing retraining Artour Rakhimov

Treat and cure hypothyroidism naturally with Buteyko method and breathing retraining

In this video, Volker and Dr. Artour Rakhimov will be discussing causes and treatment of hypothyroidism  naturally. They will expand about how their students had this condition and their experiences. When going through a breathing retraining course, they would reduce their medications. During this time Volker recommended to his students that they are periodically checked with medical doctors as well. When students would reduce their medications, it would provide them with more motivation.

Volker had a case where a doctor told one of his students that his thyroid gland is almost dead. After going through the breathing retraining course, the student;s thyroid glands were working much better.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience with students taking various medications for hypothyroidism was that they would only need them in the beginning stages. Using medications was to still have the energy to function.

All students that are able to improve their body-oxygen levels they will all be able to recover from hypothyroidism. This is coming from both Volker and Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experiences with their students. Dr. Artour Rakhimov has 15 years of experience with students successfully recovering from this condition. Usually, students start with 10 to 15 seconds for the body-oxygen test. When students progress to X seconds they do not use medications any longer.

This web hypothyroidism page provides more details about number X to treat hypothyroidism naturally: http://www.normalbreathing.com/hypothyroidism-treat-causes.php .

Breathing retraining requires periodic check-ups with doctors because when the health of students improves they might have adverse effects from their medication. Doctors will measure t4thyroidal hormone and other hormones. The dose of their medicine might be needed to be reduced. The student's amount of energy levels might become too high if their medication is not reduced. That relates to other hormonal conditions such as involving insulin for diabetes or cortisol for people with excessive inflammation. For overview of effects of breathing retraining on hormonal diseases, see http://www.normalbreathing.com/practice-clinical-3-hormonal.php .

The most important part to improve their body-oxygen level requires them to practice 6 to 8 weeks of breathing retraining. Or it might require students to reduce their medications by about half of their dose. This would be required to increase their motivation. For some students, it might be a lot longer depending on other health problems they are facing. Also, their recovery depends on how much time they devote to their daily Buteyko breathing exercises or Frolov device sessions.

The great news is that hypothyroidism is a relatively easy condition to recover from with breathing retraining. Everybody who achieved 60 seconds on the body-oxygen test became free from medication. From a doctor's paradigm, this recovery is really hard to explain. If you are interested in learning about a breathing retraining course visit Normalbreathing.com.
