Artour Rakhimov. PhD is a health educator in self-oxygenation, breathing and the Buteyko self-oxygenation medical therapy. He is the author of books and the educational website www.NormalBreathing.com devoted to natural self-oxygenation, breathing education and breathing retraining. Normal Breathing defeats chronic diseases!

The normal breathing rate in infants is up to 2-4 times higher than in adults. On the other hand, noisy breathing in infants is clearly a indicator of hypocapnia (CO2 deficiency). This chemical is...

The main outcomes of all randomised controlled trials of the Buteyko method were rather remarkable: 3-10 times less reliever medication, twice less steroids, better quality of life and less asthma...

Problems with nasal breathing in babies, children, toddlers and infants is an emerging problem facing medical community and parents due to its devastating effects on the development of the young. ...

The main goal of this system is to increase oxygenation of cells and keep it at peak possible degree all the time. As a result, to master the Buteyko method means to permanently normalize one’s br...

Modern medical textbooks suggest that normal breathing rate for an adult is 12 breaths per minute at rest. Textbooks, published about a hundred ago, often provide even smaller values (e.g., 8-10...

Deep breathing propaganda organized by mass media is based on lack of education in human physiology and respiration. Overbreathing worsens health of people and leads to advance of chronic diseases.

In short, modern people do not know how to breathe during exercise. The crucial thing for not being hungry after exercise is better body oxygenation and higher blood sugar levels so that to feel energ...

Our stress free breath holding time test (oxygenation index), done after usual exalation, reflects body oxygenation and minute ventilation. Sick people have deep and frequent breathing with low body o...

The effects of postmenopausal hot flashes can be reduced using a simple breathing exercise developed by Soviet physiologist Konstantin Buteyko, MD, PhD. He trained about 200 Soviet MDs how to apply th...

These parameters have an inverse relationship: the less our breathing frequency at rest (or the slower our breathing), the higher our body oxygenation. Moreover, there are simple DIY tests for measuri...

Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that the chronically sick (heart disease, diabetes, COPD, epilepsy, etc.) are most likely to have acute episodes and/or die during early morning hours (4-7 ...

   The crucial thing for not being hungry after exercise is better body oxygenation and higher blood sugar levels so that to feel energetic, not hungry. All these parameters relate to the way we breat...

If you observe people, who are in the stage of confusion and panic (e.g., in horror movies), you may realize that their breathing is erratic, deep, and through the mouth. Breathing controls blood supp...

Physiological state of advanced cancer patients is characterised by tens of parameters that are outside of the normal range. Among the simplest cardio-respiratory parameters used by modern oncologists...

After WW2, German Nazis and other mass murderers have been persecuted by international authorities, but Siberian FSB-KGB (Russian Secret Service) Gulag leaders continue to collect their pensions from ...
