useful for those at altitude (where oxygen levels in the air are decreased) or
those who are so sick that they cannot retain healthy oxygen saturation
levels (above roughly 90 percent) through normal breathing. But even for
sick patients, long-term supplemental oxygen can eventually damage the
lungs and decrease red blood cell counts, making it harder for the body to
pull oxygen from breath in the future. * See studies and other references in Notes, p. 246, at “of fers a troubling
picture.”* More recently , Sanya Richards-Ross, a Jamaican-American sprinter , used
Buteyko’ s techniques to win three Olympic golds in the 4x400 meter relay
(in 2004, 2008, and 2012) and gold in the 400 meters in 2012. She was
ranked as the top 400-meter runner in the world for a decade. Photos of
Richards-Ross with her mouth closed and a placid look on her face as she
destroys the slack-jawed and gasping competition have become the stuf f of
legend. * The primary complaint is that studies in Buteyko breathing were small,
few , and according to some critics, done outside stringent scientific
protocol. Be that as it may , in 2014, the Global Initiative for Asthma, a
collaboration among the W orld Health Or ganization, the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute, and the National Institutes of Health, gave
Buteyko an “A” rating (later revised to a “B”) for supporting evidence. * Cells “buf fer” too. Whenever there is a decrease in circulation or oxygen,
cells will produce ener gy (A TP) anaerobically . This process creates a more
acidic “microenvironment” in which oxygen can more easily disassociate
from hemoglobin. In this, chronic overbreathing will not create “hypoxia”
in tissues; this is a fact that many Buteyko adherents consistently get wrong. The real damage from overbreathing comes from the constant ener gy the
body has to expend to run more cells anaerobically and to constantly buf fer
for carbon dioxide deficiencies. * Nobody needs a Homeoblock or retainer to get the bone-building and
airway-expanding benefits of chewing. Hard, natural foods and chewing
gum likely work just as ef fectively . Marianna Evans recommends her
patients chew gum for a couple of hours a day . I too followed this advice
and some days I would chomp on an extremely hard type of T urkish gum
called Falim, which came in flavors like carbonate and mint grass. The stuf f
tasted pretty crude, but it of fered a workout and delivered results. * Sexual arousal is controlled by the parasympathetic system and is usually
accompanied, or can be induced, by soft and easy breaths. Meanwhile,
or gasms are a sympathetic response, and are often preceded by fast, short,
and sharp breathing. W e’re attracted to eyes of mates with lar ge pupils
partly because pupils dilate—a sympathetic response—during or gasm. * Since Brandt’ s reports, thousands of researchers have tested the ef fects of
carbon dioxide therapies on cardiovascular health, weight loss, and immune
function. A quick search of “transdermal carbon dioxide therapy” on
PubMed brings up more than 2,500 studies. Most of these studies, I’ve
found, confirm what Royat researchers had discovered a hundred years
earlier , and the Greeks thousands of years before them: exposing the body
to carbon dioxide, whether in water or through injections or via inhalation,
increases oxygen delivery to muscles, or gans, brain, and more; it dilates
arteries to increase blood flow , helps dissolve more fat, and is a powerful
treatment for dozens of ailments. For an extensive history of carbon dioxide
research and several more resources, visit www .mrjamesnestor .com/breath . * A 2019 British study published in The Lancet  found that depressive
symptoms were 5 percent lower after six weeks in a group treated with an
SSRI, which of fered, in the author ’ s words, “no convincing evidence” of an
ef fect. After 12 weeks, there was a 13 percent reduction, a finding the
researchers described as “weak.”* Although Sudarshan and other kriyas may not have been originally created
to help sick people get well, they do that anyway . More than 70 independent
studies conducted at Harvard Medical School, Columbia College of
Physicians and Sur geons, and other institutions found that Sudarshan Kriya
was a highly ef fective treatment for a range of ailments, everything from
chronic stress to joint pain and autoimmune diseases. * Pugs, mastif fs, boxers, and other brachycephalic dogs have been bred to
have flat faces and smaller sinus cavities, and, as such, suf fer from a similar
range of chronic respiratory problems. In many ways, modern humans have
become the Homo  equivalent of these highly inbred dogs.
