If a person drops their meds to try to cure themselves of these diseases by using Buteyko, good luck!
If you're taking meds, good luck!
Heck, good luck to everyone.
As I've said, from practice my breathing rate is very low, blood levels of Co2 are very high, yet i had no reduction in medication, nor in asthma attack frequency.
Of course not because, as I said, you're a drug believer and you don't understand what you're doing.
I admit there are a couple of real benefits from Buteyko - in the midst of an attack to resist overbreathing, breath lightly and slowly during an attack to avoid lowering Co2 levels.
My PERSONAL method for getting rid of, which I explained previously, I think is much better than Buteyko.
For example when you're having an asthma attack - similar to what you did, but more - resist the urge to let the asthma control you. Instead of that, resist and blow all the air OUT of your lungs, steadily, slowly, all the way out, than breathe slowly and normally, even below a normal level of breathing. This will get rid of the asthma completely, because you're destroying it's fuel, i.e. you're destroying the overbalance of O2 vs carbon dioxide and co2 washout in the cells.
Another thing is to practice holding your breath. How long can you hold your breath without breathing at all?
