By James Hooper

Back in the 1990′s, I was a pretty well set.  I was working for a multinational drug company and life was great.  The only slight blight was my asthma.

I had asthma from pretty close to birth.  And it did take the edge of life – but I was ok.

One day I saw a documentary from Sydney – it was Current Affair with Mike Willisee I think – that made some outrageous claims in a strong Russian accent about “the doctors are all wrong” – and I will prove it to you!  Then they interview a bunch of people who were VERY believable.

James Hooper with Professor Buteyko in Moscow

Oh well.  So I contacted the clinic in Sydney – and discovered they were very disorganized.   A Russian called Alex (Sasha) Stalmatski had been sent by Professor Buteyko to “show” the Western world that they were missing the obvious.  They chose asthma to show the effects of the training – even though it was originally for use with hypertension – because that would be far more dramatic.  (Which is pretty right.)

The Sydney Clinic sent me a heavy duty 30 odd page document called “The Biochemistry of the Diseases of Deep Respiration.”

When I pounded through this document – it became obvious that there might be something to this very different approach to what I had grown up with.  From just the biochemistry – I “figured” it out that if I purposely changed my breathing – my asthma symptoms would be made to come and go.

It was rather eerie when I first made my breathing deeper – and a wheeze started.  I kept going and the wheeze was joined by a desire to cough.  Exactly how my usual asthma progressed.  [I had my reliever medication VERY handy!]

I then did the opposite to what I had been trained by doctors and physios for 30 years.  I reduced the depth of my breathing so I was totally still.  It was rather scary – but after about 90 seconds of breathing like my dog had farted in my car – the wheeze and cough were gone.  No Ventolin needed!  Cool.  Very Cool.

[If you are reading this as an asthmatic - pay close attention to the above paragraph.  That paragraph is pretty much the first step in retraining your breathing so that asthma symptoms simply do not appear. ]

Now obviously – being scientifically trained – I was a bit slow.  So I repeated the process three times.  Then I resigned my super cushy job and went off to train as an instructor.

And – oh yes – I did have to attend a Workshop as a participant – I did not get all of the nuances from just the biochemistry.  I also traveled to Moscow to learn what I could over and above the offered training here in Australia at that time.

In Townsville I am relaunching some Buteyko workshops because I am appalled that this has not been “picked up” by doctors or physios or educators of some kind.  I stopped doing Workshops a few years back when it looked like Nurse Educators would take it over.

Now it is obvious that this has not happened.  I keep meeting children and young people who have never heard of Buteyko – and simply are doing the same things I did for 30 years – and wasting their life energy.

So for a limited time – I will personally conduct some Workshops here in Townsville.  You do need to contact me [use the form right up the top of this page] so I can send you some information.  I will also make the first Workshop ridiculously low cost – because I want you to tell your friends and start a viral publicity effect.

If you are a doctor, alternative health professional or health educator – please also contact me.  I am happy to have others in the Workshops.  If you already have a group of asthmatics in your practice – I am happy to train  them as a group.

Regards

James Hooper

It spoke of the clinical trial of 384 people who reduced need for rescue inhalers by 90% and their inhaled steroids by 50%.

If you are a mild asthmatic – and these people in the studies were severe asthmatics – do you think you might be able to come close to growing out of your asthma?

This training is safe, is recommended by the British Health system as useful for people with asthma [because it reduced their “medical costs”!  It can be done by children.  It can be done by adults.

It does not tell you to alter your medication without talking with your doctor.

Have you contacted Townsville instructor James Hooper yet?  Please use the Contact form above.

This video is from the BBC and shows people with COAD, Asthma, Emphysema – before and after a workshop.

More Clinical trials have been conducted since this BBC documentary.

Townsville Buteyko Workshops Coming Soon…

Here is another old video – with Mike Willisee and Current Affair.

When the method was first brought to Australia by Alex Stalmatski – the marketing was rather confrontational with the medical profession.

Eventually this led to the Brisbane Mater Hospital Clinical Trial (Click Here) led by Dr Simon Bowler that proved the 90% reduction in symptoms and medication need.

This is the first of a series of videos aiming to let you discover a program that helped hundreds of thousands of asthmatics back in the 1990′s and early 2000′s.

There was massive publicity then – and many knew about it.  But now many simply have never heard of it.

Please use the contact page to register your interest in the Townsville Workshop.

This short video about a clinical trial in Australia shows how just changing breathing patterns caused a decrease in need for asthma relief medication of average 90% as well as improved symptoms score (and inhaled steroids were reduced).

If this can be done – how come you don’t already know about it and are using it?  A breathing method that reduces need for asthma drugs by 90%?  Why not?

Press the button in the bottom right of the video player to see in full screen so is easier to watch.

Grow Out Of Asthma – Predictably – Using a Simple 3 Step System that reduced asthma relief medication needs by an average of 90% in Clinical Trials:

Grow Out Of Asthma as Quickly As Humanly Possible on Kindle

We just released our new version of “How to grow out of asthma as quickly as humanly possible using the Buteyko Method” on Kindle.  The full printed version is in proof stage and will be available very soon.

I have made the instructions on the Buteyko breathing for asthma simpler and clearer.

Here is the link to How To Grow Out Of Asthma:

Thanks for your support, and get on with growing out of your asthma!

How To Grow Out Of Asthma As Quickly As Humanly Possible - Now On Kindle

ps – please tell your friends that growing out of asthma is no longer a matter of luck.  You can use the same process that allowed normal asthmatics in clinical trials to reduce their asthma relief medications by 90% – and still improve their quality of life scores – to grow out of asthma predictably using a simple system.
