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.

In this video, I will explain the history and
development of the Buteyko Method and suggest that we can probably
even claim that are 2 or more Buteyko versions that grew out of the
original method that was developed by Dr. Buteyko.
Before going into this, I would like to first
point out some important facts related to the Buteyko Breathing
Technique. First of all, the Buteyko Breathing Retraining Method has
a 100% success rate, provided that students are able to retrain their
breath. So with slower breathing, the student will improve body
oxygenation and, according to the Buteyko Table of Health Zones,
increase their level of health. When normal level (7) of health is
achieved, there will be no symptoms of disease and medication will
not be useful at all.
Now to understand what versions of the Buteyko
method we currently find today, we have to look back at history. More
about the history of Dr. Buteyko
https://www.normalbreathing.org/buteyko-history/ Dr. Buteyko
developed his original method in the 1960s and worked only with
severely sick people. These people were hospitalized and had a lot of
time (no work etc.) to work on their health. Moreover, as their
conditions were very serious (with a life expectancy of months or
years), they were extremely motivated to work on their breathing. As
such, they would achieve much more dramatic improvements in health
compared to the average sick person that practices the method today.
Dr. Buteyko worked with a team of 200 practitioners and improved the
health of 1000s of patients.
Later, in the 80s and 90s, the method was also
approved for the treatment of asthma by the minister of health and
Dr. Buteyko started to teach the method to people that were not
medical professionals.
The method was adjusted for people with asthma and
other respiratory problems, as the treatment of asthma alone does not
require such drastic changes in the level of health. If a morning CP
of 20 is reached, medication for asthma would not be needed anymore
and when level 5 or 6 is reached there would be normal lung function
and symptoms would be mostly gone.
Therefore, the adjusted and simplified version did
not include the drastic and time-consuming protocols necessary to
achieve health levels 7 and up. As such, there is a huge difference
between the two versions of the Buteyko Method.
For practitioners that wanted to apply the
original method, Buteyko required a health level of at least 7. As
such many practitioners had levels 10 or 11. However, for treating
asthma patients only, such requirements for practitioners are not
necessary. As such, most practitioners in the west, do not focus on
levels of health above level 5.
The second or simplified version of the Buteyko the method, therefore, does not include for example the necessity to
exercise prolonged hours (2 or 3 per day), the necessity to practice
breathing exercises 2 hours (or more) per day, to take cold showers
and sleep on hard beds, etc.
Now there was an unfortunate event that left many
students confused about the effectiveness of the Buteyko Method. A
well-known practitioner (Peter Kolb) that was trained by Dr. Buteyko,
died of cancer. This should of course not happen to a person that
advocates a health method that is supposed to cure cancer.
Although this practitioner was well-known for
teaching the Buteyko method, he was only teaching and spreading the
second version of the method. The word ‘physical exercise’ was
not even included in his writings. Cancer can only be cured with
higher levels of health (which requires physical exercise) and this
practitioner obviously did not live by the standards of the original
Buteyko Method.
Dr. Buteyko himself claimed that for good health,
physical exercise is actually more important than breathing
exercises. It is only for sick people, that the Buteyko Method would
emphasize breathing exercises over physical activity. However, as
one’s health improves, physical exercise should increase and the
amount of work on breathing exercises should be reduced.
As a final note, I would like to mention something
about the way that many practitioners present the Buteyko Method to
their students. There are many western practitioners of the Buteyko The method that have learned about the method but who have not reached
level 7 (or higher) themselves. As such, I have found that many of
them do not speak about the whole spectrum of health (including all
the health zones) to their students. As such, students are not
informed about the necessary steps to reach true normal health.
Furthermore, super health levels (levels 7 to 12) are very frequently
neglected by teachers. This is really sad because such levels bring
with the many benefits such as extra-sensory perception, the ability
to digest many types of foods and dramatically reduced needs for
sleep (between 4 and 2 hours).
It should be up to the patient themselves what
level of health is ultimately desired and they should not be put in a
box by the practitioner by withholding a complete overview of the
possibilities. The YouTube URL of this video is: https://youtu.be/3L6-LVm6Ct4 The video features Dr. Artour Rakhimov

Wim Hof breathing exercises vs. Buteyko Method Review
The
breathing retraining discussed in this video has been helpful for
patients with COPD, asthma, cancer, diabetes, HIV-AIDS, epilepsy,
heart disease and many other health problems

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.
