Most people feel that they have a normal breath even when the rate of their breaths exceeds the medical norm by a 2-3% count. Some of them may even feel that they barely breathe.

Modern day living has led to over-breathing. You might easily say that we are equipped with a Stone-Age respiratory mechanism for Space-Age life. Environmental factors like water, air, sound, light, sound and pollution, poor quality food, emotional and mental stresses, lack of physical activities all trigger over-breathing. Holding your breath, sighing, gasping and snoring are obviously more subtle ways in through which hyperventilation attacks you.

It is estimated that a general population tends to over-breathe; they exceed normal breathing by about 70% to 130%. Professor Buteyko through his experiments and observations was able to determine that illnesses people develop due to over-breathing depends on their genetic predisposition.  Each individual responded to hyperventilation based on his inherited factors. Through his research and clinical applications, he has proved this result with over 150 individual chronic conditions.

The Buteyko Breathing Method received an authentication from the Russian Ministry of Health to be used in treating asthma. However, Russian and Ukrainian doctors have successfully used the same principles on people with radiation disease, hypertension, hepatitis B, metacystic cancer, liver cirrhosis and even HIV-AIDS through their clinical trials.
