We, already know that this is so according to Dust-Mite Theory… And you have no way to ask: Why broncoconstrictions? Because of dust-mites? or because of the messages your brain issues when it senses an imbalance of gases through your blood to the smooth muscles of in your lungs saying "open/close ventilation".. no, no, noo! dust-mites comes and tickles them… |-| /- |-< |-< ||| – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> of which can be altered by any breathing exercises.

"Unfortunately,this also is not true. The airflow obstruction that occurs in asthma has nothing to do with CO2 content in the blood or brain. It is instead due to both bronchoconstriction and airways inflammation, neither of which can be altered by any breathing exercises. The "Buteyko Theory" is wrong in this regard." Steve White, M.D. University of Chicago      Steve,      What the Buteyko research says, it that the bronchoconstriction is a      reaction to not enough CO2 in the *airways* or an imbalance in the      ratio of O2 to CO2 in the airways,  nothing is mentioned in the      Buteyko findings referring to a CO2 deficiency in the *blood*.        Granted,  his theory puts a new light on the explanation of asthma      symptoms, but is it not conceivable?  Have you done studies on asthma      patients as well and have you found Buteyko’s theory to be to the      contrary?  Or are you basing your arguments on the traditional      medicine you’ve been taught.      Also, has it been proven that one cannot change his breathing pattern      permanently by concentrating it for a period of time? There are a lot      of things that the subconscious can change when one practices enough.        Look at the success of hypnosis on patients with chronic diseases.      Donna Jackson      Munich, Germany Posted using nntp/Link, the cc:Mail to NNTP gateway.
