Narrated by: Kevin Archer

Biographical account which documents Doctor KP Buteyko's theories, teachings and thoughts, also gives a detailed history of the Buteyko breathing method as taught by Dr Buteyko and his colleagues and outlines his belief that the method could be used to treat 150 Diseases of Deep Breathing.

The most important of Buteyko’s practical teachings are contained in the following sections:

Training Khodakevich (a patient with heart disease) in the Method (Chapter 13)

Stopping an asthma attack in a celebrated school teacher (Chapter 16)

The recipe for Buteyko’s famous ‘borschch and porridge’ (Chapter 20)

Stopping an asthma attack in a World War 1 veteran (Chapter 23)

Victory of Sablin (a patient) over ischaemic heart disease (Chapter 24)

An account of a complete lesson in the Buteyko Method given as part of the 1968 Leningrad trial (Chapter 24)

It is important to remember that even the best book is no substitute for training by a Buteyko practitioner, but these practical sections provide a wealth of information for patients.
