This review is from: Buteyko Clinic Method 2hr DVD, CD, Manual; the Complete Instruction to Reverse Asthma, Rhinitis and Snoring Permanently (Paperback)

What's included: the "Close Your Mouth" manual (that's also sold separately), a DVD where you can see the author teaching a seminar, and a "Mindfulness" CD (which I haven't yet listened to.

Should you buy this, or just the "Close Your Mouth"? I prefer this. I just read the manual, but was doing some of the exercises wrong. It's definitely worth it to have both the written and video versions.

What's the premise? That asthma is caused by overbreathing, and that, by changing your breathing habits, you can reverse your asthma. To make it work, you have to do about 90 minutes of breathing exercises a day. The key measurement of progress is the CP (Control Pause), which is how long you can comfortably hold your breath after exhaling.

Does it work? So far, my CP has gone from 8 to 18 after slightly more than 3 weeks worth of exercises. I feel much better. My nose, which has been almost completely closed as long as I can remember, has opened completely. I also haven't had a single asthma attack, despite stopping my medication.

However, do be aware that it will take months of daily exercises to fully conquer your asthma (the magic CP point is 40, and it took me 3 weeks to advance 10 points).

But, look at what you get in return: your life, minus asthma and medications!

I am very pleased with this product. I have not completed reading the manual but have begun to practice the techniques. The instructions are easy to follow and the book, cd, and dvd are very well done.

Initially I am making progress with this technique. It is too early to tell long term results. Definately worth the investment.
