Cure? There is no cure for COPD in allopathy med . Doctors diagnose and give you inhalers/med to keep it under control. But don't loose hope yet! Try these breathing exercises from the book -

This book can change your life, February 19, 2000
By  Louise DeSalvo (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
    

This review is from: Breathing Free: The Revolutionary 5-Day Program to Heal Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis, and Other Respiratory Ailments (Hardcover)
I've written a book about asthma; thought I knew everything. And then I bought this book. Started the five day program with great cynicism. Let me say I've not had a day free from symptoms from a case diagnosed as "moderately severe" asthma for five years. After doing the program, stringently, and following the guidelines (except for the diet -- I only cut out milk products) -- I have no post-nasal drip; don't feel as if I'm drowning; sleep magnificently; have no shortness of breath, or tightness in my chest, and have more energy. I started to experience positive results the first day. Frankly, I don't feel I "have" asthma anymore, though I do take inhaled corticosteroids, at a very reduced rate. If you are disciplined, and if you're willing to invest time, read this book. It's the better of the two books available on this method. I listened to music or read in the intervals between doing the controlled pause -- a technique that's taught. The best investment in a self-help book I've ever made.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)

*The* premier introduction to the Buteyko method!, August 2, 1999
By  Larry Wall (The Frozen North) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Breathing Free: The Revolutionary 5-Day Program to Heal Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis, and Other Respiratory Ailments (Hardcover)
If you have or ever have had any kind of respiratory problem in your life, or you know of someone who's had any kind of respiratory problem in their lives, BUY THIS BOOK! The Buteyko method of breath retraining promises to be the medical breakthrough of the next century, and this book is as good an introduction to the method as it gets. I began the book with a Control Pause of 8 and finished the book a week later with a CP of 30 and am looking forward to getting to 50 or 60. You'll have to read the book to understand about the Control Pause, but I'm willing to make the prediction that, in the years to come, the CP will be regarded as almost more valuable than the pulse in determining a person's overall state of health. The book's thesis--that carbon dioxide is not the waste gas we've all been taught it is, and that low-grade hyperventilation is at the root of an amazing number of health disorders--is one of those counterintuitive ideas that suddenly makes a lot of sense once its implications are thoroughly spelled out. That the book does. My only constructive criticism of the book is that it tends to be a little wordy in some parts, and occasionally repititious, but not so much that it becomes disagreeable. For us Yanks on the western side of the puddle, a bit more brevity would have been welcome. Nonetheless, this book is too important to let a few literary bumps stand in the way. Buy the book, read it, and begin practicing the exercises. Give yourself a week to try it on for size. You won't be disappointed. I most certainly was not. I'm feeling much better already.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)

if you want to take control of your asthma without medication, September 25, 2005
By  R. B. Geller (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews
    

This review is from: Breathing Free: The Revolutionary 5-Day Program to Heal Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis, and Other Respiratory Ailments (Hardcover)
This book has allowed me to get off of all medication. The concepts are deceptively simple and laid out so they are very easy to follow, cookbook style.

It is so simple stupid. But ten days later, after a lifetime of perpetual medication, asthma and allergies, I am free from taking all medication, and yesterday I ran for 15 minutes with no asthma.

If this sounds appealing, read the book. What do you have to lose?  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)
