Are you tired of lettingasthmacontrol your life? Exhausted by the never-ending medications with their daunting side effects? Terrified of the next coughing fit? Frustrated by mucus, wheezing, chest pain, suffocation attacks? Then stop fighting mucus, stop coughing and wheezing!
Thomas Yakovlev-Fredricksen M.S.; C.A.S.E. (Johns Hopkins University)
In 1952, Dr. Konstantin Buteyko, a renowned Russian scientist, discovered that asthma, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, are the result of hyperventilation, or over-breathing. An excessive amount of air creates an insufficiency of carbon dioxide in the lungs and bloodstream, which negatively impacts metabolism and the immune system, gradually rendering them dysfunctional. A carbon dioxide deficit also affects respiratory gas exchange and diminishes the amount of oxygen carried by the blood to the brain, heart and kidneys.
By reducing their breath intake, people are able to significantly reduce asthma symptoms and, in many cases, reverse the progression of the disease. Many become completely asthma free. Dr. Buteyko developed a series of breathing exercises, which, if performed with diligence, have a miraculous power: they stop wheezing, mucus, coughing, chest tension, the feeling of suffocation and restore well-being to the body, mind and spirit. From one healed person to another, the Buteyko Method spread all over the world, often saving the lives of those who were sentenced to death by asthma and breathing difficulties.
Buteyko Center USA offers wellness programs and educational coursesfor individuals and their families as well as group workshops. During these programs you will learn the theory of the patented Buteyko Method and its application in your daily life. You will receive all necessary knowledge to overcome asthma and breathing difficulties. The Buteyko Method is a truly holistic method, drug-free and without side effects.
The first step to become asthma free or reduce your asthma symptoms is to schedule an Initial Assessment, which can be done online or at our center. The main goal of this individual consultation is to help the client (and family members) evaluate the potential effect of the Buteyko Method in his/her life. In order to determine this, it is important for the Buteyko Specialist to measure the client's breathing and learn his/her health history. During the consultation, the teacher will also briefly explain the Theory of the Method and introduce Buteyko breathing exercises. Furthermore, this consultation will give the student an opportunity to ask questions about this natural asthma cure. From the information gathered during this session, the Buteyko Specialist will create an individualized program for each client.

It all started when I was ten years old and came down with pneumonia. After my recovery, I started getting asthma attackswhenever I went out to play with the other kids. The doctors said I developed severe allergies, needed allergy shots and an awful tasting liquid medication. The treatment helped but did not stop it. I would still get severe attacks, just less frequently. As the years went by the doctors said that I would grow out of it as I got older. It eased up slightly until 1985 when I ended up in the hospital with a life threatening asthma attack. I spent three days there, was given more medication and told that an attack this severe could happen again at anytime. After three more years of frustration I decided to look into alternative medicine. I found the Buteyko Center USA on the Internet and read the entire website. I could not believe that I have been hyperventilating all these years.
I called Buteyko Center USA and after talking to Thomas, I knew he could help me. The theory made sense. I met him in person and had my first session at Woodstock. It was fantastic. Since then my sessions have been on Skype, which works great. Within four days of doing the formal exercises and monitoring my breathing I reduced my medication by 75%. Now I'm at day 32 and on NO medication at all! I still can't believe it's true and cannot remember when I have felt this good. I still have a way to go and I'm staying focused. The best part is I have the control over asthma, which has controlled me for 40 years.
Thomas, Thank you for this wonderful education. You have become a true friend for life.
Two hundred years ago asthma was considered a mild ailment. Having asthma generally meant having a long life free of other diseases. However, no one could explain how asthma prevented other ailments or why asthmatics lived longer than others.Today, we know that asthma is not an ordinary disease. Bronchospasm, the main component of asthma, acts as a protective mechanism, helping to maintain biological constants and important functions at near normal levels.
We have also learned that asthma or bronchospasm cannot exist unless the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) level in the lungs is abnormally low. Since the metabolic and immune systems can function correctly only if the CO2 level is normal, the limit of the asthmatic’s CO2 levelprotects him or her and allows for a long and healthy life.It is this powerful defense mechanism that provides the asthmatic with an improved biological system. Evidently, bronchospasm is one way the organism has adapted to its environment.
Modern drug treatment for asthma is aimed at neutralizing this protective mechanism. The organism then fights back again and again with more intensive bronchospasms leading to a rapid deterioration of the asthma from drug treatment.It is not possible to cure asthma by removing a protective mechanism like broncospasm. Only when the condition responsible for the bronchospasm is removed, can asthma be reversed.

Konstantin Buteyko was born in 1923 in the Ukraine and grew up in a farming community. After becoming a physician, he made an important discovery about human health, one which would lead many seriously afflicted individuals back to good health. Dr. Buteyko's main discovery focused on breathing and the revision of breathing habits in order to reverse the progression of an illness. His holistic, drug-free technique became so effective and widespread that it was named in his honor: The Buteyko Method of Breathing. His life was fraught with peril, including the destruction of his laboratory in Siberia and threats on his life. Dr. Buteyko miraculously survived the turmoil and established a clinic in Moscow (Clinica Buteyko). He lived to see his scientific discovery and applied practices gain worldwide recognition...
I wake up each morning with a stuffy nose; will this method help me?
Yes! By making your nose stuffy, your organism protects itself from over-breathing: it simply narrows air channels. We will teach you how to reduce your breathing and that will eliminate the cause of your problem. Aside from that, you will learn a special technique, which Dr. Buteyko developed for clearing nasal passages. You can use it any time you feel a need to unblock your nose. It is a gentle technique and, unlike many others, does not cause additional hyperventilation and mucus creation.
Breathing difficulties: can the Buteyko Method help?
Absolutely! Dr. Konstantin Buteyko’s discovery and cure both revolve around balancing the body’s use of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It is the imbalance of these two elements that causes the reactions of the body, which, in turn, create the majority of breathing difficulties we experience. By applying the Buteyko Method properly, the system balance is restored and breathing difficulties defeated.
There is more information on this subject in the book Asthma Cure Manual, by Dr. A. Novozhilov. This book is written for people with asthma and other breathing difficulties. The book is available in our store to download and in paper format.)
What are the Buteyko Breathing Exercises?
The Buteyko breathing exercises are the core of the Buteyko Method, which is a natural, drug-free, holistic technique for the treatment of asthma, allergies and breathing difficulties, as well as many other diseases. The exercises were developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko(1923-2003). Many clinical trials have shown that Buteyko breathing exercises can safely reduce asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, excessive mucus and the need for reliever medication and also greatly increase the overall quality of life. The Buteyko breathing exercises are most successful when tailored to the client’s individual medical condition and rate of improvement. It is strongly recommended to use the breathing exercises only under the supervision of a certified Buteyko Practitioner.
