SAMA Interview with Dr. Artour Rakhimov: Defeat Any Lifestyle Diseases with Breathing Retraining

[SAMA] Episode 143: How to Defeat Lifestyle Diseases with Breathing Retraining - Health Therapy that Always Works
The interviewer was John White, https://www.rifetherapies.com/

Topics related to the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 (coronavirus) infection with breathing retraining and the Buteyko Method are also discussed.

In this video interview with John White, we learn that many of our diseases of civilization are first and foremost caused by overbreathing, or hyperventilation. Unfortunately, there is a culturally conditioned belief that hyperventilation causes greater oxygenation of tissues and organs in the body. On the surface, this stands to sense, as it would appear correct that the more oxygen we take into the body, the more oxygenation will occur. In reality, however, by ventilating more air per minute in and out of the body, we release more carbon dioxide from the bloodstream and lungs. The result of this can be extrapolated from the famous Bohr effect. From the Bohr effect we know the following; the higher the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, the more readily oxyhemoglobin (a constituent of blood when bound to oxygen) releases its oxygen into cells, tissues, and organs as it passes them. Therefore, if we breathe this carbon dioxide out of the body, there is less available to cause the release of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin and consequently, surrounding cells, tissues and organs don't receive this oxygen and become deoxygenated or hypoxic.

Thanks to the work of Dr. Buteyko however, it has become apparent to many thousands of people that their health can be improved through breathing retraining techniques such as reduced breathing exercises as well as physical exercise (if they are healthy enough to exercise, which most people are, though exercise is not recommended for those with Myalgic encephalopathy / systemic exercise intolerance disorder) all done with nose and diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing simply means that we breathe into the lower region of our lungs so that our stomach slowly and gently moves forward on the inhale (in the initial stages of breathing retraining when we see and feel the effects of our breathing – as we increase our body's carbon dioxide tolerance, less ventilation of air and therefore breathing is required and the sensations of breathing gradually reduce and become almost or totally imperceptible). The lower part of the ribcage may also move during diaphragmatic breathing, but the shoulders will not rise as we inhale. This type of breathing (nose plus diaphragm) should be our baseline form of breathing as it encourages maximal cellular oxygenation and retention of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream and lungs.

The general health of our body can be determined by a simple breath-holding test called the Control Pause:

After a normal inhalation and exhalation (without restraining or increasing breathing) hold your breath and wait for the first sign of discomfort. This may either be the first urge to breathe or a physical, muscular contraction of the lower respiratory muscles. The stomach will suddenly contract and likely pull inward towards the spine. The time taken before this urge or contraction is called the control pause and is an indicator of your general health. The lower it is, the less cellular oxygenation is occurring within your body. It is possible that the first few times this control pause is taken, that one may unwittingly hold their breath for too long and get a higher result than is genuine. Just remember that it is to be done after a normal inhalation and exhalation and until the first sign of discomfort, no more.

Control pauses of 10 seconds and below indicate moderate to severe health conditions with probable use of medication. Between 10-20 seconds and there are mild to moderate health complications. Between 20-40 seconds and the person is considered healthy by most modern doctors (even though they don't measure the control pause, still they would normally find blood parameters within healthy limits). At around 40 seconds, a person would be considered healthy 100 years ago. And at 60 seconds, they would have what Dr. Buteyko considered the norm.

Two Key Discoveries of Dr. Buteyko (Health Zones and Breathing Method)

The topics discussed in this video include firstly the Buteyko table of health zones and secondly the Buteyko technique itself. Other subtopics include the fact that the health of people can be evaluated by there respiratory parameters, the Buteyko table of health zones, breathing patterns, how to determine someones health state/level by using breathing parameter and the table of health, the medical norm for breathing parameters, health states, medical conditions/ illnesses, and medication, super health and changes that take place at these health levels.

More about the history of the Buteyko method – https://www.normalbreathing.org/buteyko-history/  The second discovery the Buteyko technique itself which allows us to take respiratory parameters back to normal levels which help solve health problems, how the technique is applied in different degrees for example in clinical trials with asthmatics, reduction of medication used by asthmatics, the reduction of symptoms in asthmatics and the method itself which uses breathing exercises, lifestyle changes, physical activity, sleep, diet and much more. Then latterly how Dr. Buteyko was decades ahead in terms of his ideas and health contributions such as the use of spices, the use of vibration and barefoot walking to name a few. Dr. Artour also explains that in his opinion Dr. Buteyko was the greatest medical man in the history of humanity as he made such huge contributions to human health such as the Buteyko table of health zones and the practical tool the Buteyko breathing technique itself. He also states that he has the belief that the method can be developed even further and that he is always looking for methods and techniques that will allow his students and practitioners to achieve better health with less time and less effort with more sophisticated and newer tools.

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).

The Buteyko Method has been used widely on a range of different diseases. In the Soviet Union, medical doctors have found it to be useful on more than 100,000 asthmatics, over 30,000 people with cardiovascular problems and thousands of patients with other health conditions (diabetes, cancer, bronchitis, sleep apnea, HIV-AIDS, liver cirrhosis and more). Dr. Konstantin Buteyko would instruct sick patients to have an intensive approach of breathing retraining. Depending on their health condition they would practice up to 2 to 3 hours of daily breathing exercises.

Sinus infections cured with Buteyko breathing retraining (two testimonials) Artour Rakhimov

Sinusitis cured with Buteyko breathing retraining (two testimonials)
Dr. Artour Rakhimov's and Chris Prokop's sinusitis cured testimonials

The video shows Chris Prokop's and Dr. Artour Rakhimov's testimonials.  Specifically, we talk about the effects of breathing exercises on our sinus problems.  I (Chris) first saw Dr. Artour's YouTube video, How to Unblock a Blocked Nose.  Then I read many of his articles on Normalbreathing.com.  I had blocked sinuses for about ten years especially at night time.  At night I would wake up with a dry mouth because of mouth breathing.  Then I practiced reduced breathing whenever I wanted to unblock my nose and it helped to get rid of 90 % of the symptoms.  My sinus would only get blocked if had any allergic triggers.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov suffered from problems of the sinuses since childhood.  He spent time in hospitals due to sinus issues and chest infections.  His nose would be totally blocked and it would take two to three weeks to recover.  Around the year 2001, he had drastic problems with a high fever of 39 degrees, a sore throat, with a blocked sinus and nose.  Dr. Artour Rakhimov would have poor quality of sleep lasting about 11 hours.   Then he learned how people could slow down their breathing and he learned of the body oxygen test.  Dr. Artour Rakhimov had a similar control pause test for people staying in hospitals about 8 to 10 seconds.   While, his sinus infection symptoms were very serious.  He learnt the reduced breathing technique which is similar to meditation.  This kind of meditation was written about in ancient Sanskrit texts.  It works to slow your breathing and the mind becomes calmer.  Sinuses discharge naturally after 15 to 20 minutes.  Reduced breathing is a very effective and natural technique to treat sinus infections.  Within a week's time, Dr. Artour Rakhimov was able to completely breathe through his nose and perform physical activities with strictly nasal breathing.  Then with about 40 to 50 seconds for his control pause test, he was able to run at a high speed and still maintain nasal breathing.  His sleep was reduced to 4 hours just by retraining his breathing.

Since 2001, he was trained as a Buteyko breathing practitioner and taught the Buteyko breathing method to hundreds of students and all of them cured their sinusitis problems naturally: http://www.normalbreathing.com/c/sinusitis.php . The Spanish version of this page “Sinusitis: Causas y Tratamiento (Más del 90% de éxito)” is here http://www.respiracionnormal.org/sinusitis-causas-tratamiento/.

With more practice of breathing retraining, students that previously suffered from nasal blockages can experience nasal drip.  This happens with about 30 to 40 seconds for the control pause test.  The nasal drip is a cleansing reaction.  A garlic solution is helpful at this point and can be found on Normalbreathing.com (specific link down below).  Sinuses should have naturally occurring bacteria.  When people have sinus problems, for a very long time they can lose this bacteria.  Then use very diluted garlic juice or live kefir or yogurt.  When the CP gets higher this bacteria will naturally occur again.  With a higher CP, all sinus problems disappear, energy levels get higher, sleep quality is better and sleep quantity gets low.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov has Skype classes for students that have already been learning about breathing retraining and for newbies too.  There are also courses for Buteyko practitioner training by Dr. Artour Rakhimov: http://www.normalbreathing.com/buteyko-practitioner-training-artour-rakhimov.php

The classes significantly help to have improvements in health and a higher level on the CP test.  Students are at a great advantage, if they have practiced with the DIY device or the Frolov device.  Furthermore, it helps if the student has read about breathing retraining.  Specifically, reading the vast amount of free information on the module section of Normalbreathing.com.  If the foundational parts of breathing retraining are not studied, then the live classes are not as effective.

Dr Artour Rakhimov Interview: How To Breathe For Health (Buteyko Method)

Dr. Artour Rakhimov Interview: How To Breathe For Health (Buteyko Method)

This is Dr. Artour Rakhimov's Interview for Extreme Health Radio extremehealthradio.com. The title of this show was “How To Breathe For Health: Buteyko Method”.

During last 100 years, humans experienced large changes in the way they breathe. Modern people breathe nearly 2-3 times more air than people living at the beginning of the 20th century. Dozens of clinical studies showed that people with chronic diseases breathe even heavier. All these basic facts related to breathing can be found on the Homepage of http://www.normalbreathing.com/.

What are the effects of over-breathing or breathing too much air (known as hyperventilation)? Breathing more air at rest decreases CO2 levels in the lungs and body cells. As a result, arteries and arterioles constrict causing decreased oxygen transport for tissues of the body.

These physiological facts were known to Dr. Buteyko who developed the Buteyko breathing technique to treat chronic diseases. He trained over 150 medical professionals to apply this natural healing therapy on nearly half million of people in the USSR and, later, Russia.

The Buteyko technique is popular for asthma and other respiratory conditions, as well as infections. See also our chest infections remedy. But other conditions, even cancer and diabetes can be addressed as well.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov created and developed world's largest website devoted to breathing retraining. About 500 web pages of this site provides analysis and practical tools related to lifestyle factors and how they interact and influence our breathing. This relates to physical exercise, sleep, diet and many other factors of life.

Meditation and mindfulness are also parts of these breathing exercises.
