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!

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.

Diets for Gut/Body Detox: Eat More Good Fats and Less Carbs to Reduce Inflammation - Interview with Dr. Artour Rakhimov

Low carb diets reduce inflammatory processes and increase body oxygen content. The majority of people nowadays, experience digestive problems by having biofilms on the surface of their gut. This contributes to the presence of soiling and if manifested in soiling. Soiling happens when the residue is left on the anus after defecating and one needs to use toilet paper.

When people increase their body oxygen levels, they achieve no more soiling. Also, eating no more than 20 g of carbohydrates daily helps to detoxify the gut. This helps to reduce inflammation as well. This web page explain more about chronic inflammation: “Chronic Inflammation: Causes and Treatment” http://www.normalbreathing.com/d/chronic-inflammation.php .

Carbohydrates and glucose cause a lot more inflammation than fats. There are lots of great new research on this subject. Studies can be found that compare a high fat diet to a regular modern diet with high carbohydrates. Such diets as Atkins diet, Caveman diet and others are similar in effects by reducing carbohydrates. Breathing retraining according to Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience is the most effective method.

Here is a web page about benefits of LCHF (low carb high fat) diets for reducing inflammation and better body oxygenation: “Benefits of keto diet and therapeutic ketosis for body oxygen levels” http://www.normalbreathing.com/diet-ketosis-benefits.php. The German translation of this page “Vorteile Einer Ketogenen Diät Und Therapeutischer Ketose Für Bessere Sauerstoffwerte Im Körper” is here: http://www.atmungnormal.de/ketogene-low-carb-diaet/ .

Students that have achieved more than 30+ seconds for the morning control pause test can relatively easily achieve a detoxified gut due to the no-soiling effect. These students experience easier transition to ketosis with high levels of ketones in blood (up to 1-3 mmol/l) and can join the advanced course. This course helps students to achieve 45-50 seconds and more for their MCP. Furthermore, there are lessons for learning skills to address particular conditions.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov offers classes for Buteyko breathing practitioners who want to achieve cleaner guts and teach breathing retraining to their students. The courses teach how to begin your own practice and how to teach a series of powerpoint lectures. These lectures can be set up by a practitioner in their area of residence (in the UK, EU, USA, Australia, Canada or New Zealand) or by Dr. Artour Rakhimov.

Gut Detox Methods From Heavy Metals and Biofilm Flora Pollution – Interview with Dr. Artour Artour Rakhimov

The question addressed by Dr. Artour Rakhimov is, “How to detoxify from heavy metals and what techniques can be used for gut detox?. What are methods for gut detox or digestive cleansing?” In our previous videos, we discussed how to use sweating and physical exercise for detoxing and learning the Buteyko breathing method. The same techniques can be used to detoxify the gut.

The techniques were engaging in intensive physical exercise or sweating in a sauna or a combination of the two. Students participating in intensive exercise achieved normalization of their gut flora. This creates a healthy intestinal environment where they do not require toilet paper. Other techniques for gut detox include breathing retraining using the Buteyko technique. Breathing exercises are used to increase body oxygen levels and slow down unconscious breathing patterns throughout the day. More about the cleansing sanogenesis reaction of truly detoxifying body is on the page “Cleansing Reaction and Body Detox (Buteyko Breathing Technique)” http://www.normalbreathing.com/learn-cleansing.php . This also applies for heavy metal detoxing such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and so forth.

They are very useful and have been tested by Buteyko doctors on thousands of people in the Soviet Union. There are some people that experience detoxification reactions because they have been taking medications for years and/or they have been unhealthy for long periods of time. These people have built up more toxins in their bodies and can go through stronger symptoms of detoxification.

Also, they experience stronger detox effects if they practice breathing exercises for long periods of time from 2 to 4 hours a day. There is a web page on Normalbreathing.com explaining this effect. Using nutritional supplements helps to lessen these reactions. For example, magnesium and other minerals are useful.

Physical exercise and lifestyle changes are also helpful for breathing retraining and speedy detoxing. Also, eating seaweeds helps. Thousands of studies can be found online that show how seaweeds bind with heavy metals and keep them to their selves. Dried seaweeds, kelp, Chlorella and Spirulina algae, and others can be used.

Lungs Absorb More Oxygen From Air When You Breathe ... Less – Interview with Dr. Artour

How much oxygen is absorbed by lungs depends on breathing patterns of people. Improving arterial CO2  (carbon dioxide) from breathing exercises, but especially from changing unconscious breathing patterns will improve body-oxygen levels.  Raising body-oxygen levels to the medical norm of 40 seconds will greatly improve oxygen extraction rate in the lungs.  This will even benefit athletes.

Health people only use 25% of the oxygen that they inhale.  Healthy people have breathing patterns that are slow and it is not noticeable on their bod, down to about 4-6 liter per minute for minute ventilation.

Sick people breathe in 15 liters per minute at rest, and only utilize and absorb 10% of the oxygen that they inhale.  They have very ineffective breathing with low oxygen extraction in the lungs since 90% of oxygen in air is exhaled back. This happens due to chronic hyperventilation and high minute ventilation rates at rest and 24/7.

Dr. Buteyko the founder of the Buteyko Method, achieved 2 to 3 minutes for the body-oxygen test.  The body-oxygen test is an easy do-it-yourself test available on the Normalbreathing.com website.  Thus, people with super health and over 2 minutes for the CP test utilize up to 40-50% of oxygen that they inhale.

More details about oxygen extraction in the lungs is on this page “Oxygen Absorption Rate in Lungs | Lung Efficiency at Capturing Oxygen” http://www.normalbreathing.com/patterns-oxygen-extraction.php . The Spanish version is here “Tasa de Extracción de Oxígeno Pulmonar” - ¿Qué tan eficientes son nuestros pulmones para extraer oxígeno del aire? http://www.respiracionnormal.org/patrones-tasa-extraccion-oxigeno/ .

Slowing down breathing patterns at rest will make it easier to slow down breathing when exercising and capture more oxygen 24/7 with less breathing.  During exercise, it is recommended to breathe only through the nose.  This can be a lot more challenging at first because of ingrained habits.  It is even better to use a training mask when exercising.   They function as an extension of your nose.  Training masks help to improve your CO2 level and afterwards it helps your breathing rate to slow down at rest.  Physical exercise is the main factor that helps to slow down the breathing rate after it is done.

Additionally, there are very useful breathing devices to improve body-oxygen levels and capturing more oxygen in the lungs.  For example, some of the devices include the Frolov device, a DIY device (Dr. Artour Rakhimov's invention) and others.  There are numerous lifestyle changes that are easy to monitor by using the body-oxygen test to see how efficient they are.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov taught his students for the last 15 years to focus on managing lifestyle factors that improve the levels of the body-oxygen test.  These factors can relate to diet, nutritional supplementation, thermoregulation and many other factors.  All these lifestyle factors can be read on the Normalbreathing.com website. Slower breathing at rest increases oxygen retention in the lungs and increase oxygen extraction and capturing rates.

Breathing exercises that are used in Dr. Artour Rakhimov's courses include the Buteyko breathing technique.  Dr. Buteyko was a leading physiologist and the most influential breathing teacher in the Soviet Union.  His method can now be found helping people across Europe, North America, Australia and in many other places.  In the early 1960's, Dr. Buteyko had the position as the Manager of the Respiratory Laboratory made for classified scientific research for the Soviet Cosmos and the first outer space missions (included the 1964 flight of Yury Gagarin, the first man in space).

The Buteyko Method has been extensively used on a wide variety of diseases.  In the Soviet Union, medical doctors have used it successfully on more than 100,000 asthmatics, over 30,000 people with cardiovascular problems and thousands of patients with other conditions (cancer, diabetes, bronchitis, sleep apnea, HIV-AIDS, liver cirrhosis and more).  Dr. Buteyko would instruct sick patients to do up 2 to 3 hours of daily reduced breathing to improve oxygen extraction and retention in the lungs.
