But How Do You Do IT

Customer Rating:
After reading about the Buteyko method on the web, I immediately started to breath only through my nose and also starting taking NAC as a supplement. I don't have very severe asthma but I had very bad reactions to all the medications. With just those 2 changes, I've seen a marked improvement. There's lots of information on the web - just not how to do the breathing exercises. After exhausting all the free available information, I ordered this book. Most of it was a rehash of what was available except for the pages on actually doing the exercises. The problem is they are extremely sketcky. My CP is only 8-12 seconds. When it says reduce to little breaths, it doesn't give you any guideance. Is it 2 seconds in or 3? The instructions for the CP are more detailed but do you breathe the same for the exercises? Since my CP is not improving, perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly. On the otherhand my asthma has definitely improved.

This works!

I'm sorry to see that this is only available used. This technique works wonders.

I started doing the breathing exercises 8 months ago. When I started, my CP was 20 seconds long and I was using a fast acting inhaler 3 - 6 times each day. Now, my CP averages around 65 seconds and I haven't used an inhaler for almost 4 months.

If you know someone with asthma, share this book with that person. It takes a bit of effort (I spent 30 minutes each morning and afternoon), but the benefits are eventually well worth it.

Great book for asthma just not what I thought.

I was suprised while reading this book I seemed a little lost. I went back to re-read a section and noticed that the practices are designed to work over a 12 month period. This was only mentioned once in a non-important fashion. To me that was important. I did not know this would take a year.

Either way it is helpfull and I can see how it works, even though I have not had any major changes yet. Just doing the CP test proove to me it will work as soon as I can put the time into doing this. Not as simple as I hoped for.

so simple, but it works

I've had chronic asthma for years, and grown frustrated with doctors just prescribing higher and higher doses of drugs. I was looking for a more natural solution, if it existed, and after just a month, this has proven to be what I was looking for. Just based on a preview of the book, I began being more conscious of breathing thru my nose, and saw immediate improvement before the book even arrived. Now after reading the book and following the exercises for about 3 weeks, I have to say that this book has changed my life. My lungs have not felt this good in years, and I am looking forward to phasing out some of my prescriptions.

Simple Solution for Asthma Sufferers

I was skeptical about changing the way I manage my asthma and have for the past 25 years. Deep down I always lived with the fear that I would have to be dependent on asthma meds for the rest of my life. I enjoy an active lifestyle with asthma but always kept the rescue inhaler nearby when engaging in physical activity. After reading Patrick McKeown's book - my life has completely changed. Mr. McKeown's book outlines a simple yet VERY EFFECTIVE method to change your breathing habits and live more peacefully with asthma. I have experienced a tremendous increase in my quality of life by adopting these principles. The method outlined is simple, easy and the progress chart keeps up the enthusiasm. Although this method works VERY VERY Effectively - the widespread use is limited because it is non-pharmacological. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book for anyone who may suffer from breathing related health challenges and especially for anyone who suffers from asthma!
