Re: Buteyko Breathing Technique

Mr. Buteyko says:

"An alkaline system is more susceptible to viruses and allergies. The shift in the rate of metabolic regulator activity disturbs the normal flow of metabolic processes and leads to the death of the cell. As mentioned before, if the level of CO2, falls below 3% shifting pH to 8, the whole of the organism dies."

If it's the opposite of what MH talks about and what every yoga teacher for the past five thousand years has taught us about deep breathing then I don't buy it.

To most, when the pain is surpressed, by cutting off your oxygen, it would SEEM like a cure for asthma or whatever else. I understand that people don't want pain. But, I would say that without proper oxygen you are just sitting in your own waste. Now that's deadly.
