Resumen del Editor

* Important note *
Please be aware that the 1988 Buteyko Breathing Manual was written for healthcare professionals and has numerous medical terms (end of the note).

This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian, includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. His visionary and disciplined approach to healing was so successful that it threatened the medical establishment, which unfortunately reacted by trying to suppress it, but it managed to survive because of his independent mind, tenacity, and determined character.

He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research, he never allowed it to be considered simply an "alternative asthma treatment" as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and breathing clinics, it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world.

The interviews complement each other well, adding interesting details of his life and work, also supporting the previously translated important 1969 Buteyko Lecture at the Moscow State University, which sums up his achievement to that date and then adds information on the subsequent development of his thinking.

Here is a summary of the main chapters:

• 1. 1962 interview while he was head of a functional diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. It covers his account of the discovery of overbreathing as the main cause of ill health and initial tests on patients and their recovery through normalization of their breathing.
• 2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail.
• 3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to "the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing'" in sick patients in a clinical setting. He regarded an unregulated DIY approach to breath reduction and steroid and medication reduction as dangerous.
