The key cause of cancer, on a cellular level, is known to professional oncologists for more than 70 years. Dr. Otto Warburg got a Nobel Prize for this discovery. He wrote in his article "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer" (1966), "Cancer, above all other diseases, has |

Breathing and oxygenation in healthy and sick peopleIf you observe modern exercising people, you will see that over 97% of them breathe through the mouth. Is this a problem? Breathing is about oxygenation of tissues. Hence, let us consider oxygenation and breathing in health and disease.Clinical evidence clearly |
| Why modern people have poor posture
|
|
ObservationsBeing upright is and was the most natural body position. This was the norm during almost the entire history of humanity. Standing also was the norm in factories, plants, shops and offices up to the beginning of the 20th century. Most modern people prefer to sit. Moreover, we |
| How and Why Coughing Destroys Health and Solutions
|
|
Thousands of patients with bronchial asthma learned how to be cough-free using one breathing technique. The Buteyko respiration technique is officially approved by the Ministry of Health in Russia for treatment of bronchial asthma. It has been practiced by over 150 medical doctors to help their patients with |
| Cancer tumours grow during early morning hours
|
|
Hundreds of oncological studies proved that growth of malignant tumours primarily depends on tissue hypoxia, but oxygenation of the human body is easier to measure: after your usual exhalation, pinch the nose and hold the breath, but only until the first stress. This stress-free and easy test accurately |
| Why Chronic Diseases Worsen Quality of Sleep
|
|
Indeed, while it is well known to clinical physicians and nurses, modern official mainstream medicine cannot suggest the mechanism accountable for this phenomenon: sick people generally have worse quality of sleep. Why do people with epilepsy, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, asthma, COPD and many other health conditions have |
| Exercise is joy only when body oxygenated at rest
|
|
Most modern people can testify that physical exercise is not a pleasant experience. Over 200 MDs, practicing the Buteyko self-oxygenation breathing method, and other health professionals performed many millions of simple body oxygenation tests (stress-free variation of the breath holding time test done after usual exhalation and without |
| In super-health we require only 2 hours of perfect sleep
|
|
It is known that modern people sleep, on average, about 7.5 hours per day. Studies also found that length of sleep varies from person to person and generally gets shorter with aging: infants can sleep up to 12-18 hours per day, young children for 9-12 hours, teenagers about |
| How Cancers Leads to Poor Sleep (with Solutions)
|
|
Cancer patients suffer from insomnia and problems with sleep. This link is well documented in recent medical stuides (Berger et al, 2009; Hearson-Sawatzky, 2008; Lee, 2004; Roscoe et al, 2007; Sateia et al, 2008). Progression of cancer further impairs sleeping problems. Cancer sleep and cancer insomnia can become |

Breathing and the heartOur breathing pattern has profound effects on the heart. In fact, about a century ago western doctors developed and studied the science which was called "cardiorespiratory physiology". Why? Because of the close connections between cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Yale University Professor Yandell Henderson (1873-1944) was |

|
Appearance and development of chronic diseases and symptoms, including fatigue, poor quality of sleep, mucus production, blocked nose, loss of vitality, anxiety, and confusion, are based on lowered body oxygenation. Cancer and heart disease, the main killers of modern people, are primarily based on tissue hypoxia (low cellular |
| Stress-free breath holding time predicts health of HIV/AIDS patients
|
|
Clinical evidence, as well as physiological studies, found that progression of the disease in HIV patients is manifested in reduced oxygenation of the body. Dozens of studies revealed such negative effects of hypoxia, as chronic fatigue, poor sleep, psychological disturbances, mouth breathing, inability to exercise, and sexual dysfunction. |
| Stop asthma attacks using basic breath control
|
|
The exercise was used by over 200 Soviet and Russian doctors who have been practicing the Buteyko breathing self-oxygenation method. They taught it to many thousands of people. The exercise helps, in most cases, to stop asthma attacks without using bronchodilators. (I translated many Russian medical papers.)Practical actionsSit |
| Diabetes is possible only in over-breathers
|
|
The international medical norm for breathing is 6 l/min at rest. A group of Italian medical researchers from the University of Ancona reported in the Chest magazine that 28 patients with diabetes breathed from 10 to 20 l/min (Tantucci et al, 1997).A more recent 2003 study found that |

Most women can testify that childbirth is their most painful life experience in terms of physical pain. However, over 200 Russian MDs, practicing the Buteyko self-oxygenation breathing therapy, found that superior body oxygenation guarantees painless childbirth.The Buteyko breathing method is officially approved, by the Russian Ministry of Health, |
| Typical Breathing Pattern of Sick People
|
|
If we consider automatic breathing patterns in sick people with various health problems, virtually all health conditions are characterized by ineffective breathing. Generally, many people know that people with asthma, COPD, panic/anxiety and cardiovascular diseases breathe too fast and inhale too much air even at rest while sitting. |
