Bronchial Infections - Progress of Chronic Diseases is Reflected in Stress-Free Breath Holding Time and Body Oxygenation
Poor tissue oxygenation is the typical feature for people with asthma, heart disease, chronic fatigue, diabetes, bronchitis, cancer, HIV, acne, infertility, and many other disorders. This is known to medical professionals, but you may guess about this fact too. Why?
After your usual exhale, pinch your nose and count your BHT (breath holding time) in seconds. Keep nose pinched until you experience the first desire to breathe. Practice shows that this first desire appears together with an involuntary push of the diaphragm or swallowing movement in the throat. (Your body warns you, "Enough!") If you release the nose and start breathing at this time, you can resume your usual breathing pattern (in the same way as you were breathing prior to the test). Do not extend breath holding too long. This is the most common mistake. You should not gasp for air or open your mouth when you release your nose. The test should be easy and not cause you any stress. The BHT test does not interfere with your usual breathing.
More information about translated original Russian and Western research on breathing, health, how to improve one's oxygenation, and the Buteyko method can be found on my website www.normalbreathing.com You may know that the main test for heart patients (exercise electrocardiogram or Stress test) mainly reflects oxygenation of the heart and other muscles of the human body. No wonder, that agent 007, in the most recent movie "Casino Roayle", when he had a heart attack, also had very heavy breathing.
Typical Results for the Oxygenation Test
The first chapter of my book "Normal breathing: the key to vital health" is available on-line (
www.normalbreathing.com/big-book-Ch html). It has a table with dozens of western medical references devoted to stress-free breath holding time. Russian oxygenation doctors accumulated even more clinical information. Doctor Buteyko and his medical colleagues found that the following relationships generally hold true:
Hence, abnormal oxygen transport is the typical and indispensable feature for chronic conditions. How to measure body oxygen content? While measurements of tissue oxygenation require special equipment, you can do a simple test that is very sensitive to tissue oxygenation. Measure your breath holding time. How it is done? The prominent Russian physiologist who worked for the first Soviet spaceship missions Dr. KP Buteyko, MD was the head of the respiratory laboratory in the 1960s. He stated about 40 years ago, "Oxygen content in the organism can be found using a simple method: after exhalation, observe, how long the person can pause their breath without stress." Ignorance is bliss they say. However, do you find this practical when you read so much about Diabetes Bronchitis?
40 S of Oxygen
People with poor health, but often without serious organic problems. 40-60 s - good health. Over 60 s of oxygen - ideal health, when many modern diseases are virtually impossible. Make the best use of life by learning and reading as much as possible. read about things unknown, and more about things known, like about Bronchitis Conditions.
