ARE YOU MISSING THIS CRUCIAL HEALTH CHECK?
HOW’S YOUR HEALTH - HOW’S YOUR CP?

Some people might find it hard to believe that the most technically accurate and indicative measure of health is a simple breath holding manoeuvre that only takes a few seconds and requires no equipment except a regular wrist or stop watch.

This breath holding manoeuvre is known as the “Control Pause” (CP) and despite its simplicity is a technically sophisticated measure of the most important function which the human organism performs - the breathing. And it is this measure which is the basis of Buteyko’s method.

More than 60 years ago, the Russian physiologist, Professor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko embarked on the most comprehensive scientific research on how the breathing pattern affects human health. What he discovered was that healthy and sick people have different breathing patterns.

Just like a pulse, blood pressure and body temperature, there are physiological norms for respiration. It turns out that people who suffer with chronic ailments never ever have a breathing pattern which comports with these physiological norms.

Instead, they invariably breathe above what is recommended in medical text books and often by significant amounts. In other words, they habitually hyperventilate, which in turn disturbs the organism and results in diverse defensive mechanisms, changes in behavior and symptoms, which are then labeled as chronic diseases such as allergies, anxiety, asthma, bronchitis, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, emphysema, migraine, headaches, gut disorders and P.M.T., to mention just a few of the several hundred symptoms which only occur in people who chronically hyperventilate.

Prof Buteyko’s Control Pause is a breath holding manoeuvre which measures the sensitivity of the respiratory centre, thus providing a precise indication of our breathing pattern, which plays a critical role, in fact determining our physical and mental health. And for reasons which are physiologically uncontroversial and well grounded in scientific literature, breathing above what is recommended will always impact the functioning of the organism negatively.
