Measuring Body and Brain Oxygen Levels (Devices and Simple DIY Test)

Measuring Body And Brain Oxygen Levels (and how to increase brain and body oxygenation naturally since your breathing is the main factor for oxygen transport to tissues and cells) Measuring Body & Brain Oxygen Levels (and how to increase brain and body oxygenation naturally since your breathing is the main factor for oxygen transport to tissues and cells)

How much oxygen is in the body? And how can we test how much oxygen is in the body? Here is the link to the page that discusses this topic in more detail: http://www.normalbreathing.com/body-brain-oxygen-content.php/ .

Believe it or not, you don’t have to go to the hospital for an expensive test in order to get an idea of how much oxygen is in your body. (Of course if you are unwell and suffering, you should always go to the doctor for a check up)

As you may already know, using PET scans to measure body oxygen levels in the brain and other organs is probably the most common method used among doctors today. But when solely using these scans, it can be difficult to get a clear picture of your total body oxygen level.

Here is more about body and cell oxygen levels: http://www.normalbreathing.com/co2-cells-oxygen.php

This is due to the fact that the distribution of oxygen around our body is usually very inhomogeneous, or unevenly distributed, and can change from moment to moment depending on which part of the body needs the most oxygen at that time.

For example, the stomach and intestines would use a lot more of the body’s oxygen during digestion than at any other time throughout the day, so taking a scan with the intention of reading body oxygen levels at that time, could leave you with misleading results.

Fortunately, Dr. Buteyko - leading Soviet physiologist who was a Manager of the Respiratory Laboratory for spaceship research in the 1960s - did a wide variety of tests, measuring oxygen levels in the body tissues and their correlation to breathing. From these tests, he was able to create a much simpler test.

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov is here to explain how Dr. Buteyko’s simple test works, and how anyone can do the test in less than a minute (on average - with the exception of deep-sea divers and the like).

In order to do this simple ‘Breath Holding Test’ or ‘Body Oxygen Test’ you will need to:
- Rest for 5 min. - To ensure that you are calm and that your blood pressure is at a ‘normal’ resting rate)
- While seated, begin to monitor your regular breath (trying not to change it from its usual pattern)
- When you are ready, and after an exhalation, pinch your nose and begin holding your breath
- Start timing your breath hold, from the second you pinch your nose
- Hold only until ‘first point of stress or discomfort’ – i.e. not for as long as you possibly can, that would be a very different number
- Then, release your nose, ensuring that your breathing pattern is the same as it was before the breath hold.

If you feel as though you are gasping for air after the hold, this means that your breathing pattern was disturbed. In this case, the number you counted was not your true CP (Control Pause or Body Oxygen Index) and you should repeat the test after 2 minutes.

New 3D Asthma Medical Animation (Causes and Treatment) Artour Rakhimov

This 3D medical animation provides a general overview of asthma, the clinical condition of the upper respiratory airways. The video includes details related to symptoms of asthma, as well as its causes and treatment.

Asthma is a lung disease that is accompanied by inflammation and narrowing of the airways. It can be managed with medication, avoidance of triggers, elimination of inflammation, and breathing exercises that increase amounts of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the airways and alveoli.

As some official medical sources from the NHS (www.nhs.uk/conditions/asthma/) claim, "Asthma ... can be managed but not cured". However, these medical sources in their YouTube 3D animations and videos do not provide educational details about the treatment of asthma using the Buetyko breathing exercises. This therapy was tested in 6 controlled randomized clinical trials conducted in Western countries. More about clinical trials http://www.normalbreathing.com/buteyko-clinical-trials-review.php .

Bronchospasm, due to asthma, is caused by 3 factors:
- Swelling of cells in the lining of airways due to chronic inflammation
- Constriction of smooth muscles that are located around bronchi and bronchioles (also known as bronchoconstriction)
- Production of additional mucus (or phlegm) due to inflammation and triggers of asthma.
http://www.normalbreathing.com/diseases-Asthma.php

As a result, asthmatics suffer from these classical symptoms of asthma
- wheezing (whistling or rattling sounds in the chest)
- coughing
- chest tightness
- difficulty breathing.

Common asthma triggers include following factors: pollen, house dust mites, mold, cigarette smoke, and pet dander.

However, there are many other factors that can trigger an asthma attack. These include lower respiratory infections, overeating, anxiety, psychological stress, exercise, and even laughter.

Acute asthma exacerbations (asthma attacks) and even deaths are most likely to occur during early morning hours or from about 4 to 7 am during sleep.

There are two lifestyle factors that dramatically increase chances of these problems at night. These are:
- sleeping on the back (supine sleep)
- and mouth breathing.

The common approach to asthma is to use bronchidilator medication (such as Ventolin)
that relaxes the smooth muscles of airways and dilates them allowing easier air flow.

Bronchospasm can be reversed with avoidance of triggers or elimination of inflammation.

Apart from using medication, 6 randomized controlled clinical trials showed that people with asthma can reduce or eliminate their symptoms of asthma and main bronchodilator medications by about 90% using breathing exercises to slow down breathing back to the medical norms.

This method of alternative medicine is called the Buteyko breathing technique. It has rating from the British Thoracic Society showing much higher efficiency of this method for asthma than yoga, meditation, nutritional intervention, or any other tested complimentary therapy.

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.

Buteyko Practitioner Training Testimonial (by Misha Sakharoff)

Misha Sakharoff Testimonial about His Buteyko Practitioner Training and Courses with Dr. Artour Rakhimov

This is a video testimonial from  a Buteyko breathing teacher and educator Misha Sakharoff (http://sakharoff.com/), who lives near Copenhagen, Denmark. Misha Sakharoff tells us about his experiencec about his breathing Buteyko trainer Dr. Artour Rakhimov (http://www.normalbreathing.com/)

Misha Sakharoff says that he got a lot of inspiration from Artour Rakhimov and discovered new ideas and techniques related to exercise, sleep, diet, and other lifestyle factors. All these factors help to slow down breathing at rest and increase body oxygen levels to higher numbers. This causes a profound effect on easing or disappearance of symptoms and chronic diseases.

Slower breathing and better body oxygenation is a great natural home remedy that helps people with blocked or stuffy nose, chronic cough (even at night), insomnia, constipation, and many other common symptoms. However, the main power of breathing retraining (permanent changes in automatic breathing patterns) relates to its ability to cure or treat chronic diseases. Breathing exercises are similar to ancient meditation mindfulness methods.

Misha Sakharoff currently specializes on application of breathing retraining to cancer (oncology) and other serious health problems while cooperating with medical doctors and health specialists.

Buteyko Practitioner Training (Testimonial by Volker Schmitz)

Volker Schmitz Testimonial about His Classes and Courses (Buteyko Practitioner Training) with Artour Rakhimov

This is video testimonial from Volker Schmitz (http://www.atmungnormal.de/), a Buteyko breathing practitioner from Hamburg, Germany. His testimonial is about his classes with his breathing teacher Dr. Artour Rakhimov (http://www.normalbreathing.com/)

Volker Schmitz tells that he was quite healthy at the beginning of his breathing retraining. However, he still experienced many benefits from getting 60 seconds for the morning CP (control pause) or body oxygen test.

These benefits included naturally short sleep (less than 4 hours in his case), increased emotional stability, faster recovery from strenuous exercise and other health effects. For good sleep hygiene tips see www.normalbreathing.com/good-sleep-hygiene.php. 

Breathing retraining also helps to people with diseases of civilization of chronic diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many others.

http://www.amazon.com/Om-Gong-Mediation-Music-Breath/dp/B00LWEENCE/

Om of Gong is designed to lead the listener into the sounds of the gongs to induce the spirit of  meditation, relaxation and healing. The gong produces the most profound OM sound of all instruments. OM is the sacred mantra which represents god. The listener has the chance to become one with god if listening meditatively.

The role of melodies and harmonies are changed for this reason, because the attraction lies in the OM. The composer played in a gamelan orchestra, and he applied his experience for that purpose. The album can be used to slow down breathing intensifying positive effects of meditation to relax and heal the body.

The website OmofGong.com has this URL: http://omofgong.com/.

The most effective way to use meditation music is to combine it with the Buteyko reduced breathing exercise: the main exercise for the clinical therapy that was used for the best ever known clinical trial on cancer and 6 most effective trials on asthma.

Description of each part:
01-Lost in Gong - Tibetan Bells For Meditation, Relaxation, and Healing
The instrumentation of this piece is ever decreasing till the point when you can only here Tibetan Bells and Instruments of Gamelan orchestra especially Gongs.

02-Reduced Breathing-Meditate, Slow Breath and Heal Yourself
A homage to the efficiency of the Buteyko Breathing Method and breathing slower and less for healing and relaxation (for explanation of it, see: www.normalbreathing.com). A guitar is playing with gongs and finds new melodies to communicate this important massage.

03-Gong and Flute Induce Meditation
A flute in Chinese zen manner plays meditative phrases and tones together with harps and Gamelan gongs to induce meditation.

04-The Vision - Guitar-Based Music Composition
Fernando Sor: The Etude in B Minor is transposed to D minor together with a Didgeridoo and drums and gongs played in a cave like environment. It is a experimental short piece that shows us a vision born out of silence of the mind.

05-Jade and Gong at a Small River-Music to Relax and Heal
Gamelan instruments like Bells and Tibetan Gongs are played together with a harp and different Synthesizers. Nature sounds completing the experience of the Gongs. The communication between two little birds can be heard. It will enhance communication, because the river and the birds are symbols for it and the Tibetan gong gives them the energy of the gods.
