Review of Anti Snoring Devices by Dr. Artour [How to Stop Snoring for Good with Buteyko Breathing]

Review of best anti snoring devices (including chin straps, nose vents, nose plugs, and other gadgets) by Dr. Artour Rakhimov with the permanent home remedy and cure for all snoring problems and problems with sleep apnea.

In this video, popular anti-snoring devices that are on Amazon will be discussed:

- SnoreCare – Premium Nose Vents for Easy Breathing to Stop Snoring

- SleepWell Pro (2017), Stop Snoring CPAP Chin Strap and Anti Snoring Solution: Jaw Supporter Device Snore Stopper

- SleepPro(TM) Anti-Snore Sleep Chin Strap -Snore Solution Device - Jaw Strap Reduces Snoring - Sleep Aid - Snore Relief Guard

All students that got half way to the medical norm for their CP test completely got rid of snoring. The medical norm for breathing is 40 seconds with the CP test. This is a totally natural process that doesn't require any devices, chin straps, jaw supports, sleep aids, and mouth or nose vents. Devices can be used in the beginning stages of breathing retraining to go towards a healthy direction. The main idea of anti-snoring devices is to prevent mouth breathing and snoring. This will temporary reduce minute ventilation of breathing to stop snoring. Our web pages hwo to stop snoring:

Following are some questions to consider before purchasing a device. Will it be comfortable? Will the mouth be closed all the time? The most important question is will the device work in the long term after 3 months or a year or more? Also, would you want to wear it for that long? Dr. Artour uses chin straps in order for students to have proper initial breathing patterns. When breathing patterns become slower, all these devices become unnecessary. The devices make students breathe through their nose at night and in the early morning hours.

Sleeping postures or positions are significant to change breathing patterns. Sleeping on the back is the worst sleeping position for body-oxygen levels according to various medical studies. Also, it increases the chances of snoring. On Normalbreathing.com, there are about 25 medical studies examining the effects of sleep positions on body-oxygen levels. Some studies found that supine sleep makes snoring worse with more apneic episodes.

There are many techniques that prevent and stop snoring. Using devices are recommended only for short-term use. Mouth taping is the most inexpensive device to prevent snoring. Other devices are also inexpensive ranging from around 10 to 15 dollars. Dr. Artour has lots of students that noticed they stopped snoring after being involved in a breathing retraining course, usually in 1-2 weeks. Improving body-oxygen levels is the key point to get rid of snoring. Breathing retraining helps to completely and naturally solve and stop snoring problems.

The Buteyko breathing technique is used as a part of Dr. Artour's courses. Dr. Buteyko was a leading physiologist and the most influential breathing retraining teacher in the Soviet Union. His method has been used all over the world including Europe, Australia, North America and in other places. In the early 1960's, Dr. Buteyko held the position as the Manager of the Respiratory Laboratory. It was made for classified scientific research for the Soviet Cosmos and the first outer space missions (including the 1964 flight of Yury Gagarin, the first person in space).

The Buteyko Method has been used for a variety of different diseases, not just snoring and sleep apnea. In the Soviet Union, medical doctors have successfully used it on more than 100,000 asthmatics, over 30,000 people with cardiovascular problems and thousands of patients with other health conditions (diabetes, cancer, HIV-AIDS, sleep apnea, liver cirrhosis and more). Dr. Buteyko would instruct sick patients to do 2 to 3 hours of daily breathing exercises to recover from snoring in 2-5 days completely. Thousands of patients stopped snoring for good with this method.

How to Stop Seizures in 2-3 Min with Buteyko Breathing Exercise - by Dr. Artour Rakhimov

In this second video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz continue on the topic of breathing retraining and its relation to treatment of epilepsy and how to stop seizures naturally.  This simple natural breathing exercises stopped seizures in hundreds of our breathing students in about 2-3 minutes or really fast. The exercise has up to 70-80% success rate if applied correctly and it is the most natural technique since it does not require any objects or substances. Here is the YouTube link: Seizures Stopped Fast and Naturally.

It is called Buteyko Emergency Procedure or reduced breathing exercise. Start with a small natural exhalation and then hold your breath comfortably (usually for about 10-20 seconds). Then, while keeping the mouth closed all the time, stat inhaling little less air than you normally would do. Inhale little less air and relax to exhale while maintaining light level of air hunger during this stop-seizures exercise. The video provides a graph that shows the pattern for this reduced breathing (a blue line). More details are here “How to Stop or Prevent Seizures in 2-3 Min (Breathing Exercise)” http://www.normalbreathing.com/diseases-stop-seizures.php .

Students that achieve over 30 seconds on the control pause test after sleep in the morning completely got rid of seizures. Also, these students do not require medication any longer.  One breathing retraining student had seizures for 50 years and would have them eliminated.  Students need to maintain a high CP level to assure they do not get any seizures.

Epilepsy is one specific disorder where students need to achieve a higher CP level to eliminate their symptoms.  It can be challenging as students require more effort for the breathing retraining course.  Students get 30 seconds for the morning body-oxygen test  (after sleep) if they practice 90 minutes of breathing exercises daily.   Also, by doing 90 minutes or 2 hours of physical exercise daily depending on how intensive the exercising is.  It could be much less if you have a healthy lifestyle already.  Other factors such as diet have a strong effect on the CP level.

There are additional lifestyle factors, such as sleep positions and mouth taping that allows people with epilepsy prevent seizures during sleep. Here are more details http://www.normalbreathing.com/Articles-how-to-prevent-seizures-during-sleep.php .

Over 200 Soviet medical doctors trained by Dr. Buteyko confirm the positive effect of a high body-oxygen level on epilepsy.  Thousands of people with epilepsy were able to have a complete remission with breathing retraining courses.  Other techniques such as diet, meditation and so forth were successful as well in people getting complete remission.  What is the relation between breathing and having these epileptic attacks?  If somebody with epilepsy starts to hyperventilate, they reduce carbon dioxide in their blood.  On Dr. Artour Rakhimov's website Normalbreathing.com, Soviet doctors explain what happens when we hyperventilate.

Another point is that when CO2 is reduced, the threshold of excitable of nerve cells is reduced.  Dr. Artour Rakhimov recommends a phrase from experimental brain research that hyperventilation leads to a spontaneous and a synchronizing firing of neurons.  All parts of the brain can start to send signals. These signals can be unrelated to the environment or what we think about.  This signal can be amplified a lot and many parts of the brain get this electrical activity.  At this point, a seizure has started to occur.   Volker asked, “does reduced oxygen relate to hyperventilation?”.  Not having enough oxygen in the brain can be a secondary effect.  It is hard to say exactly.  Possibly what happens during hyperventilation and with reduced oxygen in the brain is that the brain uses an aerobic mechanism.  That can produce lactate acid.  Also, hyperventilation reduces blood flow.  It is exceptionally well studied by medicine.

If students have a regular diet then they use glucose as their energy source.  This would reduce blood flow.  The brain consumes half of our energy.  It is one of the most active organs even in states of rest.
With breathing retraining courses we normalize blood flow to the brain.  Oxygen levels in the brain are improved and the excitability of nerve cells get up to the norm.  Western doctors also concluded that hyperventilation causes seizures in people with people that have a genetic predisposition to epilepsy.
When people with epilepsy are given CO2 to breathe, they will able to avoid seizures as well.  Several pages on Normalbreathing.com mention this information. Additionally, breathing slower is used as an emergency procedure before a seizure occurs.

Epilepsy And Seizures Are Treated (100% Cured) With Breathing Retraining - From Two Buteyko Practitioners

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz discuss breathing retraining and its relation to treatment of seizures and epilepsy naturally, as well as using the Buteyko Method: Treat Seizures Naturally. They expand on their experiences with students that had this condition. There are several pages on Normalbreathing.com with medical studies related to seizures. The studies show how hyperventilation causes seizures. People that slow down their breathing patterns 24/7 to the medical norm can eliminate all their symptoms of epilepsy and be seizure-free. Also, they will not need to use their medication any longer. This has worked in 100 % of the cases for Dr. Rakhimov's students. More about how we treated our students: http://www.normalbreathing.com/d-seizures-treatment.php .

In the beginning of a breathing retraining course, students with epilepsy breathe at least two times more than the medical norm. Their results for the natural control pause test or the body-oxygen test is very low, at about 10-20 seconds There are videos on Dr. Artour's YouTube channel and pages on his website Normalbreathing.com explaining the Buteyko CP test. Students can have around 10 seconds on the CP test if they have severe seizures. People with mild forms of epilepsy have about 15 seconds.

It usually takes them a week long of breathing retraining practice from 90 minutes to 2 hours to start changing their breathing patterns. The general progress depends on their specific teacher's requirements and get treated or cured in about 2-8 weeks, even for older and elderly people in 80s and 90s.

About 90% to 100% of people have an attack from an over breathing test or hyperventilation provocation test. This shows directly how hyperventilation is harmful to epileptic patients due to reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2).

Most people can stop their seizures by controlling their breathing when they feel the beginning symptoms of an attack. Slowing down their breathing by the reduced breathing technique can stop an attack or minimize the harsh symptoms of seizures in a fast natural way. Also, it helps epilepsy patients recover from the negative effects that occur the day after having a seizure. Reduced breathing of the Buteyko technique is just a temporary technique for these symptoms.

Volker Schmitz had a student that had sickle cell anemia and epilepsy. He got sick and stopped all breathing retraining because of his doctor's recommendation. In about a week of stopping breathing retraining his body-oxygen level dropped to a seriously low number. At this time he had a epileptic seizure. Once he got back to breathing retraining he did not experience any more seizures. Now he has a morning control pause of 40 to 50 seconds. Maintaining this number ensures he won't have any more seizures at all.

When students slow down their breathing to about 20 seconds on the CP test, they might already not have any seizures. They might still require their medications at this level. These students would notice a huge decrease in the intensity and the length of their seizures naturally. Just change the way you breathe!
