Perhaps the last time in recent medical history that the obvious, simple and self-evident solution to serious health problems was ignored, ridiculed and dismissed was the need for hygiene during delivery of babies. Once the laughing died down so did the death rate from purpural fever or septicaemia in childbirth.

Today there is a similar response from the establishment medical leaders towards the serious health consequences of chronic hidden hyperventilation, to-day’s undiagnosed, untreated and unrecognised health problem. There are millions of people suffering unnecessarily from this common problem (up to 90% of the population) who are being given a vast array of drugs to ameliorate or suppress the symptoms arising from over-breathing. This is good news for the pharmaceutical companies, an easy way of making life more comfortable for individuals that requires no effort on their own part and seen as the responsible and acceptable treatment approach by our doctors. All this despite the fact that as far back as 1975 an emminent cardiologist Dr L C Lum at Papworth Hospital had identified this serious problem & in 1990 a Russian doctor Professor K P Buteyko came to the West to promote what has become known as the Buteyko Method to teach people to how to correct their dysfunctional breathing. The science underpinning their work is to be found in any good textbook on physiology but apparently this has been ignored by modern medicine. It is up to you to decide for yourself whether this is another case of medical oversight & take steps yourself to discover the truth.
