Dr. Artour Rakhimov is a health educator in breathing, body oxygen content, breathing techniques, 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 article decribes the mechanism of cancer development, ponts out lifestyle factors, the test to measure cancer progress, and the holistic self-oxygenation therapy to deal with cancer.

Mouth breathing drastically reduces body oxygenation: the amount of freely available oxygen in tissues is usually reduced almost two times when the person starts to breathe through the mouth, for exam...

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...

The Buteyko method is based on such breathing changes so that to increase oxygenation of cells permanently and prevent any episodes of over-breathing. There are several breathing parameters of a p...

It is absolutely normal that babies and infants breathe much faster than adults at rest. The normal breathing rate in infants (official medical norm) is up to 2-4 times higher than in adults. The ...

If we consider the outcomes of these trials for asthmatics, the results of all trials were remarkable. The patients used 3-10 times less reliever medication, twice less steroids, had better qual...

Difficulties with nose breathing in the young (babies, children, toddlers and infants) is a new problem that challenges our society and parents due to its overwhelming negative effects on our youn...

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...

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...
