All available western medical evidence indicates that mildly, not critically, sick people breathe 24/7 about 2-3 times more air than the physiological norms (which is 6 liters per minute) and have REDUCED body oxygenation as a result of deep breathing.

(from the book: Normal breathing: the key to vital health by Dr. Artour Rakhimov
Note that none of these or other studies showed or proved that there are sick people with these and many other conditions who breathe normally. All these people breathe too much.
If you observe the breathing of sick people, you will notice that their breathing is usually visible (likely chest and belly movements) and audible (possible panting, wheezing, sighing, yawning, sneezing, coughing, deep inhalations or exhalations). The mouth may be open.
For sick people, the durations of inhalations and exhalations, breathing rate, amount of air inhaled per breath and other parameters are very individual. Many sick people can have the following parameters of the breathing cycle (see the Figure below): inhalation (about 1.5-2 s), exhalation (1.5-2 s), no automatic pause; the depth of inhalation is about 700-1,000 ml; breathing rate is about 15-20 times per minute.
As tens of western medical studies revealed, sick people have reduced body oxygenation due to their overbreathing. A typical breath holding time of a mildly sick person is about 10-20 s, instead of 40 s, as it should be in case of normal breathing. (In order to measure body oxygenation is seconds, measure your breath holding time after usual exhalation and only until the first discomfort or without pushing yourself. The maximum breath holding time is about twice longer than the time for the test suggested here.)
Hence, all evidence and experience show that sick people, with many common health problems, have heavy and deep breathing with reduced body oxygenation. Breathing retraining, towards the norm, gradually restores body oxygenation and eliminates symptoms of many chronic conditions.
The Key Cause of Coughing is Discovered
Clinical experience and numerous medical trials have revealed that breathing training eliminates symptoms in asthmatics. Cough is the most prominent symptom in asthma. Hence, breathing abnormalities are responsible for the urge-to-cough reflex. This article explains the mechanism of coughing and its only cause: chronic hyperventilation.
World Wide Web Lies about Best Sleep Positions
Modern internet sites and articles suggest sleeping on one's back (supine sleep) as the best sleeping option. Meanwhile, medical research has totally the opposite opinion. Furthermore, other medical studies have found that supine sleep is among the leading causes of mortality in the severely sick due to acute states or exacerbations of asthma, heart disease, epilepsy, COPD, and many other conditions since early morning hours have highest mortality rates.
The Covert Connection: Sleep Deprivation and GI Distress as Tools in Intelligence Operations
Sleep deprivation and gastrointestinal (GI) issues are not just common health problems; they are also reportedly used as subtle techniques by intelligence agencies like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to incapacitate individuals subtly and covertly. These methods, which leave minimal trace and are difficult to attribute directly to foul play, are part of a broader strategy to manipulate and undermine targets without the need for violent or easily traceable actions.
