Clinical evidence, as well as physiological studies, found that progression of the disease in HIV patients is manifested in reduced oxygenation of the body. Dozens of studies revealed such negative effects of hypoxia, as chronic fatigue, poor sleep, psychological disturbances, mouth breathing, inability to exercise, and sexual dysfunction. While measurements of hypoxia or tissue oxygenation require special equipment, stress-free breath holding time test is very sensitive to the health state of HIV patients.
How to measure the Control Pause
After your usual exhale, pinch your nose and count your CP (control pause) in seconds. Keep nose pinched until you experience the first stress or desire to breathe. If you release the nose and start breathing at the first signs of distress, 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 correct CP test does not interfere with your usual breathing.[Warning. Some, not all, people with heart disease, migraine headaches, and panic attacks may experience negative symptoms minutes later after this light version of the test. If this happens, they should avoid this test.]

Encouraging results of the clinical trial with HIV/AIDS patients
Russian doctors practicing the Buteyko breathing method had a clinical trial for a group of HIV patients with very encouraging results. For these doctors the index of oxygenation (CP) is the main measuring tool of personal health. I translated the official report about this HIV-AIDS trial: http://www.normalbreathing.com/Artciles-AIDS-trial.php
Typical CP numbers for HIV patients
What are the usual oxygenation numbers for HIV patients?
1-10 s of oxygen - severely sick, critically and terminally ill patients, often hospitalized, who take multiple medications.
About 15 s – mild forms of the disease;
About 20 s of oxygen – light forms of the disease;
Over 25 s 24/7 – no need for medication and no major symptoms.
Over 40 s CP – excellent health, including blood tests, parameters of the immune system, and mental well being.
The natural and stress-free CP test is valuable in numerous situations to check the effects of various factors, including allergies, nutritional deficiencies, exercise, etc. To increase tissue oxygenation and the CP (stress free breath holding time after exhalation) are the central goals of the Buteyko breathing method. What reduces body oxygenation? The main physiological factors that make breathing heavier include lack of physical activity, exercise with mouth breathing, junk food, nutritional deficiencies, sleeping too long and/or on the back, overeating, overheating, stress, poor posture and many others. All these factors and links to them can be found from the web page: HIV-AIDS and Breathing
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.
