Correct breathing, buteyko resource recommendations

Hi,

I am beginning to investigate correct breathing/buteyko techniques and
wonder if someone can suggest some good online resources and/or books on
this subject?

Also, have any of you tried this and, if so, have you found it good, bad,
brilliant, indifferent?

There are so many books and websites out there I am having trouble working
out which ones are good and which ones are not.

Btw, how would correct breathing/buteyko techniques help the 'tight chest'
feeling? Isn't a tight chest a physical issue?

Thanks,

J.

There are none.

In fact you should ask them: "If their technique is so great how come
in the past 45 years they have been unable to scientifically
demonstrate the central theory?

B* is a scam.

They don't.

OK, good info - I wanted people's opinions on Buteyko also.

I personally believe some people benefit, and clearly not everyone does
benefit. However, it is not a cure as they claim (it doesn't cause cancer
remissions either as Buteyko stated) and it is not your parent's fault
because you were poorly parented as they claim or because you are
overbreathing due to stress. You can pretty much tell if it is going to help
you by following the directions found on the internet  and save yourself
some money. I personally wouldn't recommend them - they tell people to go
without their rescue inhalers and a few people have gotten into trouble
following that advice.

I should add that everyone here is pretty sick of the B problem and you
should "google" the Google Newsgroups if you really want to read up. For the
most part, if you don't like the B people and post about it here, they will
call you names. And if you do like them, no one in here will be very
receptive. So just bringing it up is a mistake, you see (hint).

I hope you appreciate these comments in the light in which they were
intended.

And notice that they do not refer you to an actual medical
association.

Your best bet is to stay away from these people.

I agree.  They have more in common with marketing than with medicine.

Hi.

The bronchospasm isn't present the period of a breath and is during an
exhalation during a respiratory cycle  at an attack of a bronchial asthma.
Why? Something appears during exhalation and causes the bronhospasm. The
method B eliminate it.

Wrong.  Bronchospasm is present during both inhalation and exhalation.
The difference has to do with how we breathe.  When we inhale, the
diaphragm moves down increasing the volume of the lungs.  This creates
a lower air pressure in the lungs where the surrounding air is pushed
in by the weight of the atmosphere above us.

Exhalation (under normal circumstances) is a different process.  When
we exhale all we are doing is relaxing and allowing the natural
tension and weight of our rib cage and chest to push the air out.

During an asthma attack inhalation is still easy because we still have
all the weight of the atmosphere pushing the air into the lungs.
Exhalation can become more problematic as the air passages are smaller
and it takes more time for the air to exit by our simply relaxing.
What we do to compensate us use or diaphragm, chest, shoulder and back
muscles to push the air out.  (This is why chest and back muscle
soreness is a symptom of an asthma flare.)

Basically, 'raval' if you do not understand the physiology of
breathing - how can you claim to have a 'better way?'

Wrong? You don't know it and try to treat asthma. I am admired.

The recurrent episodes of airflow limitation in astma have four forms.
Acute bronchoconstriction, swelling of the airway wall, chronic mucus plug
formation, airway wall remodeling.

Do You know it? Wrong?

He is knows all about it. It is you who have been wrong about nearly
everything you have said.

Since on of the things you guys like to do is to stay visible and
continue to confuse the issues with endless arguing I am not going to
get into it with you.

If anyone doesn't already know the truth they have a few options.

1) Believe you. That would be fine by me. It just makes me think of
the saying about a fool and his money. In this case add his health.

2) Believe the rest of the regular posters here and forget about But*
and ignore the likes of you.

3) Google the group and review the rpevious discussion.

I was simply pointing out the fact that you have no clue.

I admit that level of your knowledge has been very low, and you are happy
with it. I knew it twenty years ago and also had been happy. Now I see,
how many people recover from asthma. It is pleasant to me. You wish to
make me is younger for twenty years. It would be desirable, but it is
impossible.

If you think you know more than myself - why did your first post
contain basic factual errors that I had to correct?

Do you speak about bronchospasm? It is a special case from the answer to a
question, what does factor suddenly appear almost right after began an
exhalation, practically blocking breath, and rather quickly disappear by
the end of exhalation during respiratory cycle at attack of bronchial
asthma. Your correct hasn't been the answer to this question.

My answer was a correction of your mistake in thinking that the above
even occurs.

I simply pointed out to you where you made your mistake and provided
the correct information on what is happening.

"It has been possibly border of your knowledge"?  What the hell does
that even mean?  You are either begging for attention or enjoy having
Colin point out how foolish you sound.

And the issue he fails to accept is that his question was based on
something that is completely non-factual.

His demanding an answer is like somebody demanding that: if the moon
is made of cheese - where are the cows?  Since the moon is not made of
cheese there is no answer at all to the cows question.

the cow jumped over the moon, remember?  someone must have milked it really
quick while hover over the moon.
i believe there is an english speaking barrier and it is not colin.  raval,
you speak with broken tongue, and not all the words are of creme cheese.
You asked if Colin was speaking about bronchospasm and to date, the
deffinition of bronchospasm is unrefutably found in any Webster Dictionary
as to the concise meaning.  So I have begun to read this page and i have no
dang idea what the heck y'all are disputing.  can someone please halter up
that dang cow and explain it to me.

Basically he thinks that bronchospasm only occurs when exhaling and
'turns off' when inhaling.  He asked a question about how this occurs.

I pointed out that this does not occur.

If nothing else, your senseless musings have demonstrated the vacuous
character of the B* cult.

No--thank you!
