Artour, I have read all your site, looked at your videos and done a Buteyko course. For all your efforts at informing us I say Thanks and a big one at that. I have found it both benefical and informative. Thanks ... again.

Three questions:

I am curious about the relationship between disease in general and breathing patterns. I recognise and understand the relationship between oxygenation and disease. Do you know the balance between the causal relationships? ie Does a poor breathing pattern itself cause the issue or does the poor breathing pattern with other added factors set up the disease pattern due to genetic propensity?

To reduce breathing volume and to increase your bodies natural CO2 levels many means are logically available: reduced volume, reduce breathing speed, longer pauses, exercise etc etc. Is there a preference in Buteyko training for one particular method over another and if so why?

You frequently mention Haiti Yoga. Do you use particular exercises based on this tradition? In CP development how additionally beneficial have you found those Haiti Yoga disciplines?

Thanks for all your fine work. T2
