Asthma-
Ignorance or Design?
The Buteyko
method has had great success in controlling asthma, reversing symptoms
and removing the need for medication, which is why it poses such
a threat to the pharmaceutical companies

inhalers "can lead to attacks."
Inhalers that give
short-term relief from asthma such as salbutamol can increase the
risk of attacks if the drug is given regularly, a new study shows.

Concern
over major asthma drugs, New York meeting July 2005
Serious concerns over
safety of leading asthma drugs. A team of respiratory specialists
are meeting to discuss their possible withdrawal. The financial
implications of such a move would be serious for the leading international
pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps greater recognition of drug therapy
dangers will encourage the medical establishment to recommend Buteyko
more?

Regular
use of asthma drugs poses respiratory, cardiac dangers Source: Cornell
News June 2004 (Thursday, June 17, 2004) Regular
use of asthma drugs poses respiratory, cardiac dangers, Cornell,
Stanford researchers find in study critical of drug industry

ITHACA, N.Y. --
Physicians who prescribe
the regular use of beta-agonist drugs for asthma could be endangering
their patients, two new studies by researchers at Cornell and Stanford
universities find. One study compiles previously published clinical
trials to conclude that patients could both develop a tolerance
for beta-agonists and be at increased risk for asthma attacks, compared
with those who do not use the drug at all. The second study shows
that beta-agonist use increases cardiac risks, such as heart attacks,
by more than two-fold, compared with the use of a placebo. Furthermore,
the researchers say that their analyses lead them to suspect a conflict
of interest among scientists who are supported by pharmaceutical
companies that make beta-agonists, among the world's most widely
used drugs. This conflict, they say, could be putting 16 million
U.S. asthma sufferers in harm's way. Their statement comes as the
American Medical Association is voicing its concerns that drug industry
sponsorship of clinical tests is affecting the quality of research.

The breathless
way to 'cure' asthma BBC 18/8/98
The National Health
Service (NHS) could save a fortune in drug costs if asthmatics used
a simple breathing technique, according to claims made in a BBC
TV programme. The Buteyko method is based on the observation that
most asthmatics over-breathe, or hyperventilate.
