At that time, this very unusual thought had flashed through my mind
for no known reason.
I decided to check it out straight away.
At that time I had a headache,
a pain in the heart
and a pain in the right kidney. I started decreasing my breath,
in other words,
I had instantaneously invented my method of normalisation of breathing.
Practically a minute later my
headache disappeared,
as did the pains in the heart and the kidney.
I decided to re-check.
Is it really so? Is there such a close connection?
Am I right or am I mistaken? Right there and then, I invented
the way of testing it. That is, the deep breathing test.
Now what do you think happened? I developed a pain in the heart.

Well, just two deep breathe-ins
and the attack is starting.
That's enough. "Are you dizzy?
Are there any spasms in your chest?"
yes
"If I listened to your chest now, I would hear wheezing."
So you see, you have made four deep breaths
and the disease is now in evidence.
And this is what is recommended and taught by the medicine.
The whole world is being taught this.
Well, I understand very clearly this is how it works
Not only the hypertension,
but the Stenocardia
and the Ischaemic heart disease, heart attacks, strokes,
Endarteritis,
Reynards Disease
and so on,
a whole group of diseases that are the result of vascular spasms,
could be caused by the deep breathing.
Well, just two breathe-ins and
the attack is starting. That's enough.
"Are you dizzy?

"Yes."

Well I understand very clearly this is how it works. Well now we will use my
method which means the opposite.
We will decrease his breath.
Now he is holding his breath. "Tell me now,
how is it going? What is happening?"
"The dizziness is going."
Well my method consists of five fingers. Five basic points : 1
1. The decrease 2.
2. The depth of breathing
3. By relaxation
4. By diaphragm
5.
5. Until a small deficit of air
ATTENTION :
One can use the Buteyko Method only under a specialist supervision.
In this hall we conduct special breathing exercise, teaching the
the patients the ways of controlling and the prevention of bronchial
bronchial and vascular spasms. We teach them
them theoretical and practical skills of normalisation and regulation of their breathing.
We examine the clinical aspects.
We observe how the patients gradually reduce the intake of medications.
Most of the patients come to us using large doses of broncholytic
broncholytic and steroid preparations.
and steroid preparations
Using the Buteyko Method the patients gradually reduce and even totally remove
the need to depend on these drugs.
We have a very large number
large number of patients, the achieved results are very positive. Not only
the improvement can be observed
subjectively, it is proven to be there by objective investigations.

But the truth is on our side.
We achieve a 100% effective result.
