New Beginning

I just finished Close Your Mouth for the third time. I am amazed at what I have learned and what I am putting into practice already. I have struggled with inherited emphysema for 26 years. I have never heard anyone, doctor or layperson, mention I should breathe out of my nose. I was a chronic mouth breather. I am just starting on this journey so I will keep you posted on Facebook. Thank you so much for writing this book and now I am on to Oxygen Advantage. I will get off this oxygen tank! People will hear about it now...from me!

Read this book!

A few times in your life a book comes along that you know will change you forever. This is that book! So close your mouth and read the book.

good book!!

Very eye opener!! Long time looking for the correct way of breathing and exercising techniques.

Excellent advise anybody can follow

This books is amazing. Some great practical advise that anybody can use in their daily lives. It's short and to the point. Highly recommend.

Listen to this book on repeat

Very good book. Listen to it like a form of meditation in the morning. Helped my asthma tremendously.

While I loved this book... print would work better

Since this book is short and the exercise are specific. I ended up re buying it in print form.

The narration was great as was the content. I preferred it to his earlier book, because it's quick and to the point.

Insightful & helpful

Very helpful information and techniques for people like myself who have long been suffering with asthma & hayfever. Scientific basis for the Buteyko technique is explained in simple & easy to understand manner.

Interesting and Pragmatic

I really enjoyed this book. Sadly, Oxygen Advantage was not available for purchase in my country. That will be my next purchase.

Immediate relief with emphysema symptoms

Tone of moderator was relaxing and set a good pace for breathing exercises. Jumping back to exercises presented earlier was difficult on the first exposure. I need to listen numerous times to familiarize myself.

Very easy read

I am a dental hygienist with training in Myofunctional therapy, this book is an easy read I will be recommending to my patients!
