Sinusitis is Easily and Naturally Reversed With Buteyko Technique And Breathing Retraining

Thousands of breathing students cured their sinusitis with Buteyko breathing. In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz expand on how to treat sinusitis naturally and fast with the Buteyko technique and breathing retraining.

Volker Schmitz is a Buteyko breathing practitioner from Hamburg Germany. He also has breathing retraining experience with many students. Dr. Artour Rakhimov previously recorded his personal experience with students that had sinusitis and frequent sinus infections.

Volker's own experience includes having a case using a breathing mask or Training Mask for running. It reduces breathing and he used it only for running. Running is one of the most intensive exercises that you can use it for. After a few days of using the mask, Volker had an extreme cleansing reaction. He had to blow his nose every so often. In one run of 4 miles, he had to blow his nose over 30 times. Afterwards, he felt really relieved. Many of his students had similar experiences, but with less severe reactions.

Causes of inflamed sinuses are in heavy breathing because people have problems with sinusitis only when they have less than 20 s for the body oxygen test. Reduced body oxygenation makes the immune system weak causing immune inability to deal with infections, fungi, viruses and other pathogens to grow.

This natural treatment of sinusitis is explained in detail here “Sinal Inflammation: Causes and Treatment (Over 90% Success Rate)” http://www.normalbreathing.com/c/sinusitis.php . The Spanish tranlation of this page is “Sinusitis: Causas y Tratamiento (Más del 90% de éxito)” http://www.respiracionnormal.org/sinusitis-causas-tratamiento/ .

Cleansing reactions are caused by breathing retraining include when old stagnated mucus (usually green or yellow) being released from the sinuses naturally as a part of a cleansing reaction. This can occur for a few days when beginning a new Buteyko course or during breathing retraining. It is very common and many people do not even realize that it is occurring. Volker himself did not notice this cleansing reaction at first. Yet, later on, he felt a lot better after this process. It usually happens fast when students achieve 25 to 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test or the control pause test. Students slow down their breathing and their health state greatly improves causing healthier sinuses to evolve.

The cleansing reactions can last from a few days to a few weeks. It depends on the person's rate of progress. According to Dr. Artour Rakhimov, physical exercise is one of the most powerful methods to remove old mucus from the body faster. Volker Schmitz had many students that recovered completely from having sinusitis. When students with sinusitis improve their morning CP to 25 or 30 seconds, 100 % of them reverse their health condition. The morning CP is the main parameter of health.

This health condition is relatively easier to recover from and the CP does not need to be too high when looking at the Buteyko Table of health zones. 30 seconds is still considered a zone of sickness according to Dr. Buteyko. Also, having a blocked nose that is related to sinusitis completely disappears. It happens quickly and becomes possible to breathe easily through the nose at night. Additionally, engaging in physical exercise and breathing with 100 % nasal breathing becomes possible. Nasal breathing when exercising is the safest and healthiest way to exercise and prevent sinus infections while maintaining good health in sinuses and the whole body.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov has many links on his website Normalbreathing.com on how to unblock a stuffy nose, clear nasal congestion, and other related web pages. He also provides breathing retraining courses as well as teaching through Skype online.

Breathing Retraining Process and Buteyko Method: How To Get Cured from Chronic Diseases Dr Artour Rakhimov

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz discuss the relation of the general breathing retraining and the Buteyko breathing method. To learn the Buteyko technique and retrain one's breath, students use this page: http://www.normalbreathing.com/learn.php .

Volker directs the conversation to the historical breathing patterns that are expanded on Dr. Artour Rakhimov's website Normalbreathing.com. Different breathing patterns are compared from various centuries. Dr. Artour Rakhimov points out that his website contains historical graphs. There are studies that show how much people were breathing according to their minute ventilation. The studies show how much a person breaths at rest in one minute. They are based on 24 medical studies and they start as early as the 1920's. The studies show that ordinary people would breathe 4 to 5 litres of air per minute. This is a tiny amount compared to the amount of air people breathe today. In today's age, people breathe about 12 litres per minute using the same type of measurements. This is twice the amount of air that people breathed 100 years ago.

When people breathe more air, they receive less oxygen in their cells. This is proved in hundreds of physiological studies. 99 percent of the population receive less oxygen because of over breathing. It is a myth that if you take a big breath you will receive more oxygen. Hyperventilation is defined as anything above the medical norm according to Dr. Artour Rakhimov. People do not notice that they breathe 2 to 3 times above the medical norm. When people breathe 4 to 5 times more than the medical norm, either they will remember that they over breathe or people around them will tell them. This usually occurs during epilepsy, a heart attack, an asthma attack and other serious health conditions.

Dr. Buteyko in his last year as a medical student noticed that sick people breathe too much air. Also, he was curious about how oxygen gets delivered to tissues. He experimented to train sick people to breathe according to the medical norm. It allowed them to have slower and easier breathing. They would get more oxygen and this would reverse various health conditions. This would occur by them changing their unconscious breathing patterns, as the central part of the Buteyko method. The method works not just by doing breathing exercises, but by changing overall breathing patterns throughout the day.

Dr. Buteyko had only three patents. One related to measurements of the control pause and its relation to breathing. Another was his reduced breathing exercise. According to Dr. Artour Rakhimov, the last one was the most important. Dr. Artour Rakhimov calls it the Buteyko table of health. It shows the connection to breath holding time and the correlated health state. The table goes from sick to super health states. The breath holding time relates to CO2 levels in the body. It also relates to the heart rate which gets lower the higher health state you have. More about the Buteyko Table of Health Zones: http://www.normalbreathing.com/index-buteyko-table-of-health-zones.php .

One previous point in the lecture was that breathing less provides people with more oxygen. Another important point to consider is, “Do you realize that you breathe more than the medical norm?”. Hyperventilating goes unnoticed for most people. Volker directs the conversation to how people breathed less historically and that not many doctors are discussing this. According to Dr. Artour Rakhimov, this change occurred as a natural process in theBuetyko method. Additionally, in medical schools where they train doctors, they are not provided at all with the info on how to change breathing patterns. Fortunately, it is possible to change breathing patterns. Also, the most important point is to find out what direction to go in.

Most Natural Weight Loss: Side Effect of Breathing Retraining with 100% Success Rate - Dr. Artour

All breathing students, when they slow down their breathing, start to loose weight naturally and experience more energy and less hunger as a result of their slower automatic breathing due to breathing retraining and lifestyle changes.

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz, discuss the relation of the Buteyko method and breathing retraining for weightloss. Dr. Artour Rakhimov does not advertise this side effect of losing weight. Losing weight naturally occurs from progressing in breathing retraining and achieving a higher body-oxygen level. Students practicing breathing retraining notice they start to eat less and they have more energy. It allows them to lose weight naturally without paying much attention and effort to doing it. Diet was previously not addressed in the beginning stages of breathing courses.

Ketogenic or low carb diets are great for losing weight. The last ten years has seen lots of medical research and people experienced losing weight from low carb diets. All students that had problems with weight and practiced breathing retraining start to gradually lose weight. Some students get their control pause level or body-oxygen level to 30 seconds and students with greater improvements get 50 to 60 seconds. Both of these students do not gain additional weight after 3 to 5 years. More details about how to lose weight naturally without doing a lot of physical exercise: http://www.normalbreathing.com/how-to/how-to-lose-weight-without-exercise.php .

According to Volker's experience, there is a big shift where students get more energy from breathing retraining. Also, they naturally pay more attention to the type of food they eat without following a specific diet. People that were overweight mostly lost lots of weight when they improved their morning control pause. The morning control pause is explained in other videos done by Dr. Artour Rakhimov.

Volker personally lost around 10 kilograms or 20 pounds from breathing retraining. Currently, Volker has even incorporated a bit of carbs into his diet, but his weight is still stable. Weight loss is one of the most difficult areas for marketing because there are so many options. Dr. Artour Rakhimov mostly has students coming to him with diabetes, cancer, breathing conditions and other such health issues. Most of the students already are overweight, to begin with.

Here is more about causes of obesity: heavy breathing 24/7 that is common for last several deacdes i ordinary people: http://www.normalbreathing.com/why/why-cant-i-lose-weight.php .

Dr. Buteyko the founder of the Buteyko method, taught some simple rules for diet. One is to eat when hungry. Idea number two is to stop eating in time when full. Overeating has devastating effects on body-oxygen levels. Overeating is especially harmful if the food is high in protein and high in calories. The taste of people naturally changes during breathing retraining courses. Many people have addictions to many types of junk foods. When these people get around 30 seconds for the MCP and especially around 50 to 60 seconds, they get a desire to eat raw foods and eat healthier naturally. In Soviet Russia, medical doctors discovered these tendencies in children. The children would like junk foods, but when they got a higher CP they would select vegetables to eat instead.

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:

http://www.normalbreathing.com/stop-snoring.php .

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!

Are mercury amalgams in teeth toxic? What reduces toxic mercury load? Interview with Dr. Artour

Are mercury amalgams in teeth toxic? Can mercury in teeth cause health problems? Which techniques and supplements help to reduce effects of mercury in teeth? Dr. Artour answers these questions.

The body has a poor ability to detoxify mercury.  Historically, humans were not exposed to mercury because it is hidden very deep down in the Earth.  When absorbing mercury, it goes into the DNA of cells and disrupts the messages between cells and organs.  Also, it has the tendency to accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys, inside the brain and it goes directly into hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a very important area in controlling the function of eating, digestion and so forth.

People that have a few mercury fillings have a very minimal amount of mercury that leaks into the body.  Due to Mercury’s extreme toxicity and the body’s poor ability to detoxify it still make it unsafe.

Achieving 50 to 60 seconds for the body-oxygen test is a powerful way to detox the body from mercury.  This healthy state triggers chemical reactions that detox the body. Here is more details about body cleansing reactions, Buteyko focal infetcions, and effects of mercury amalgam fillings “Mercury amalgams – Focal Infections” http://www.normalbreathing.com/l-buteyko-focal-infections.php#4._Mercury_amalgams_ .

Using special supplements (mercury chelators) is another way to detox.  Magnesium and zinc are proven supplements to help.  Selenium is a powerful antioxidant and using about 200 mg is recommended.  Daily food products that contain selenium include Brazil nuts.

Taking selenium creates a protective effect by reacting to mercury on the surface of our tooth.  The protective effect occurs because mercury fillings are about 50% mercury (a large amount) and selenium forms a ceramic type of material around the mercury.  Having this kind of protective layer makes the fillings safe for the human body.  Dr. Artour Rakhimov recommended to his students to keep selenium in their mouth for about 5 to 10 minutes.  This makes the selenium form a coating on the surface of the tooth.  Also, selenium helps to take out mercury from the gut.

Seaweeds are a very known and proven solution to help.  In Russia, after the Chernobyl disaster they created a special supplement called “Modifilan”.  It is seaweed that lives very deeply in the ocean.  They cut the surface of the seaweed that is thick like aloe vera.  Inside the plant it has pulp that is used as medicine.  After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, many thousands of people were suffering from heavy metal toxicity.  During this time many different methods were tested for their effectiveness.  The medicines were measured by their ability to detoxify people from heavy metals.  The scientific commission done on the state level recognized that Modifilan was the most useful for detoxification.  This commission lead Modifilan to being produced extensively.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov has courses for Buteyko breathing practitioners.  In the courses students are taught how to begin their own practice and how to teach a series of PowerPoint lectures.  The lectures can be organized by a practitioner in their area of residence (in the UK, EU, USA, Australia, Canada or New Zealand) or by Dr. Artour Rakhimov.  Students that have worked to gain more than 30 + seconds for their morning control pause test can join the advanced course.  This course helps students to reach up to 45-50 seconds and more for their MCP.  Additionally, there are lessons for learning skills to address specific health conditions.
