In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov interviews Dr. Arkadi Prokopov about his knowledge, work, and experience with IHHT.

The topics they discuss in this video include negative lifestyle factors in relation to the what the Buteyko method teaches and how the unawareness of these factors could negatively impact there recovery/healing progress of people using IHHT, how combining breathing retraining (the Buteyko method) and IHHT can create a strong synergistic effect for various conditions and how this training may also help people with tough cases.

Dr. Arkadi Prokopov gives a brief description of his life and background, the importance of mitochondrial health and how this can be a major factor in your current state of health. Dr. Arkadi gives a detailed history of IHHT including the early developments after the second world war concerning fighter jet pilots and the task of adapting their bodies to hypoxic environments with hyperbaric chambers to improve problems related to flying at high altitudes, how doctors monitored these pilots health and noticed that their chronic health conditions improved, how years of substantial research and work of physicians, engineers, bio-medical specialists led to the creation of Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT), the advantages of IHT compared to Hyperbaric chambers, the basics of IHT and how it works and the current uses of IHT/IHHT including improving athletic performance, treatment and recovery of chronic health conditions, rehabilitation after for example surgery and to slow down the normal aging process.

How mitochondria work within the body, the development of hyperoxic training combined with hypoxic training, his role within this, how this differs from normal IHT and how adding hyperoxic air improves the effectiveness of the training. What a typical session or protocol of IHHT including the length of time, cycles/intervals of hypoxic and hyperoxic air, individualization due to the sensitivity and tolerance to hypoxia in different people, how sick people often having low tolerances to hypoxia and the development of hypoxic adaptation.

How nearly all conditions can be improved with IHHT as it improves mitochondria health as well as other important mechanisms within the body. He also delves into specific conditions and how IHHT can improve them and explains conditions in which the treatment is not usable.

He also discusses how to optimize mechanisms in the immune system to better discover and defeat pathologies such as viruses, bacteria, and yeast, etc. with IHHT, an explanation of Lyme disease and how it develops, how IHHT improves brain function and CNS disorders such as psychiatric disorders, neurological conditions specifically addictions and the mechanism behind them, types of mitochondrial problems such as damage, mutations, dysfunction and how these differ, etc. and lastly the positive effects of using cold exposure/therapy and how it improves mitochondrial function and overall health.

The video features Dr. Artour Rakhimov, health educator, writer, breathing teacher and trainer, and the author of the website www.NormalBreathing.org.

In this video Dr. Artour Rakhimov, author, breathing retraining practitioner and coach of 2 world champions will explain how people can improve their marathon times by up to 30 minutes using breathing retraining.

He will explain how this is possible and will discuss various topics that will back up and describe his claim.

The topics discussed in this video will be, average marathon times during the last years, his past years working with various athletes at all different levels, how if people can reduce there breathing by 2-3 times they can often see huge benefits in running times and how he is also aware not everyone will see such huge improvements, for example, elite and professional runners who have trained for years at a high level as there have often optimized there performance so much already. If we measure the average persons breathing parameters in correspondence with the Buteyko table of health zones today, we will often see they are around health level 3 and how people 100 years ago often had better parameter on average and how these low levels mean people have low oxygen level in the body on a cellular level.

He will dive into breathing parameters, measurements, the importance of nose breathing for health and better results and how and why people use there mouth or nose during physical exercise

How breathing slower and less improves body oxygenation, the cp test, how to achieve nose breathing during physical exercise.

Dr. Artour also explains how the Buteyko method/breathing retraining was first developed for severely sick people and how if we apply efforts and achieve high health levels and slower breathing in correspondence with the table he has found the therapy will always work in reducing symptoms and need for medication.

Lastly, he will also briefly go into topics such as Dr. Buteyko’s golden standard of health, how if people achieve better health levels their oxygen delivery to tissues will be dramatically improved, how if we improve health levels physical exercise will become less of a chore and people will begin to crave it and how it can become totally easy.

If you would like to learn more head over to normalbreathing.org and have a look at scientific research and numbers he mentions and If you want to improve your marathon times you can retrain your breathe and see the amazing results for yourself.

So what is the illusion? The illusion is although it may seem the Buteyko method is based on just breathing exercises. In reality, if we look at the life of a student, although they may spend a lot of time at the beginning on breathing exercises to make progress once they achieve higher health levels physical exercise becomes the main factor in terms of there progress and long term success years down the line. Therefore the Buteyko method is more about physical exercise than just doing breathing exercises.

The video features Dr. Artour Rakhimov, health educator, writer, breathing teacher and trainer, and the author of the website www.NormalBreathing.org.

In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov will discuss how Coffee/Caffeine dependency and addiction can be successfully treated and cured with breathing retraining, exercise and lifestyle changes which improve body oxygenation.

In his introduction, he discusses how he has recently been consuming a lot of media including videos, podcasts and forum posts from different diet movements including ketogenic, zero carb, carnivorous, P.K.D. and their experiences with coffee consumption.

He talks about how Zsofia Clemens of Paleomedicina who works with the PKD diet, had previously endorsed some coffee consumption in the past but has now made changes and no longer recommends the beverage as it may lead to possible health problems/consequences due to possible increased permeability of the gut and intolerances or reactions some people may have to plant foods/drinks as coffee is derived from plants.

Many normalbreathing.org students have had questions related to coffee consumption and Dr. Artour has had his own observations for years regarding coffee use and it’s relation to breathing retraining and the Buteyko table of health zones.

Most modern people currently have a Control pause of around 20 seconds or less and many studies have shown that coffee can help and has very positive effects for this group of people. These effects include improved concentration, short term memory, reaction time.

From a breathing retraining viewpoint and his observations, he often noticed that people that start with a CP of 20 seconds often require many cups of coffee a day to function better were able to significantly reduce their consumption or even stop altogether once they achieved a higher CP/level of health in correspondence with the Buteyko table of health zones. He also noticed once they had improved there CP and achieved better levels of health the same person with the same cup of coffee often began to dislike consuming it as it gave them negative side effects such as being jittery, agitated, racing heart, etc.

Finally, to conclude the topic of the video, should you use coffee or not? If you have a low cp/ health level coffee may be beneficial for you, if you don’t react negatively to it and if you have or can achieve a high cp/ health level coffee is seldom needed. So if we're able to improve our body oxygen content with time and persistence using breathing retraining and physical exercise, coffee/caffeine addiction can be overcome.

In this video Dr. Artour Rakhimov will address a question asked by one of his students, the question is-

Will following a PKD style diet used by Paleomedicina restore intestinal permeability and is it the only way to fix the problem? and will applying the Buteyko method and achieving the gold standard of 60 seconds for your morning CP (health level 7 in the Buteyko Table of Health zones) also be able to restore intestinal permeability.

In terms of professional medical literature there are no published studies by Soviet/Russian doctors that show intestinal permeability can be solved using the Buteyko method so doctors at Paleomedicina are correct that they are the only people to have published information/research that shows intestinal permeability can be solved using a PKD style diet but from experience and observations of these soviet/Russian doctors that used the Buteyko method many of them claim Intestinal Permeability can be solved by achieving 40 seconds for your morning CP (health level 5 in the Buteyko table of health zones) and above.

He then talks about how people in the past (around 100 years ago) were not as sick as around 70% of our population in the modern world will suffer from over 200 diseases of civilization as people 100+ years ago on average had around 40 seconds for there morning CP (Health Level 5 in the Buteyko Table of Health Zones). So if the idea put forward by doctors at Paleomedicina is true, that PKD is the key and the only cause of chronic disease then people who consumed foods that were not within PKD in the past would have become sick and developed various health conditions but if we look at the Buteyko table of health zones we know this is not the case as people in the past had around 40 seconds for there morning CP so they were able to have a relatively poor diet while remaining healthy.

So to conclude the video once people began eating poorly many thousands of years ago due to the development of agriculture etc. coupled with big lifestyle changes that negatively impacted our breathing parameters within the last 100 or so years in Dr. Artour Rakhimov’s view these 2 factors have ultimately caused the explosion of chronic diseases in our modern world today.

Respiratory rate (respiration rate, breathing frequency, breathing rate, ventilation rate, pulmonary ventilation rate, and respiratory frequency) is the number of breaths that a person takes during one minute. The normal value for an adult is 10-12 breaths per minute at rest. Yoga masters breathe much slower.

Medical research suggests breathing frequency is the indicator of pulmonary problems that get progressively worse with progress of chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, asthma, COPD, diabetes, HIV-AIDS, cancer, and cystic fibrosis. 

You can find more facts related to respiratory rates for adults with cancer patients, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, COPD and many other conditions on pages of NormalBreathing.com.

Medical textbooks suggest that the normal respiratory rate for adults at rest is only 10-12 breaths per minute. Older physiology textbooks often provide even smaller values (e.g., 8-10 breaths per minute), while more recent textbooks can give up to 15-18 breaths per minute. Ideal breathing rate is 3-4 breaths per minute as in real yoga masters.

Most modern adults breathe much faster (about 15-20 breaths per minute) than their normal respiration rate. Respiratory rates in people with chronic diseases are usually higher: often nearly 20 breaths/min or even higher. 

NormalBreathing.com has numerous medical studies that testify that respiratory rates in terminally sick people with cancer, HIV-AIDS, cystic fibrosis and other conditions is usually over 30 breaths/min.

Another webpage with this URL: breathing rate - http://www.e-breathing.com/respiration/normal-respiratory-rate/ also provides details related to medical norms and values for breathing frequency in people with chronic health problems.

Normal values for respiratory rate:

- during exercise: 50-60 breaths/min

- hatha yoga pranayama: 0.5-3 breaths per minute

- firebreath (hatha yoga exercise): 100-120 breaths/min.

Normal respiration rates in children

- Newborns and infants (up to 6 months old): 30-60 breaths/min

- Infants (6 to 12 months old): 24-30 breaths/min

- Toddlers and children (1 to 5 years old): 20-30 breaths/min

- Children (6 to 12 years): 12-20 breaths/min.

Charts and graphs of breathing patterns, minute ventilation and results of the body oxygen test (Buteyko CP test) can be found on this page: http://www.normalbreathing.com/index-rate.php and the link provided above. Also, the Amazon book "Yoga Benefits Are in Breathing Less" describes the causes of poor efficiency of modern yoga and effects of classic yoga on health and breathing.

It reviews clinical studies how breathing retraining reduce wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing in people with asthma. The technique also increases body oxygen content and improves immune function in asthmatics.

"Asthma Causes And Treatment of Asthma" provides new clinically proven methods to treat and cure asthma due to removal of the asthma cause: chronic overbreathing that causes low body oxygenation - asthma http://www.normalbreathing.com/asthma-treatment.php .

Understanding asthma is impossible without clinical research (asthma #1). More than 20 million Americans and more than 4 million Brits have some form of the chronic disease known as asthma. You can get the basics on this common condition online from healthguru dot com or the NHS website.

However, medical sources in their animations and videos do not provide enough information about the natural treatment of asthma developed by Russian doctors. As official medicine claims, "Asthma is a chronic condition that can be managed but not cured".

This video is created by Dr. Artour Rakhimov and it is based on clinical research available on this page from NormalBreathing.com: http://www.normalbreathing.com/bronchial-asthma.php .

Over 700 Russian medical doctors applied the Buteyko breathing method and the Frolov breathing device on thousands of asthmatics with a striking success.

This video features Dr. Artour Rakhimov, a Buteyko breathing practitioner, an author of best selling Amazon books. He suggests that there is a cure for asthma. Asthma cure is in correct breathing 24/7. This is because overbreathing is the central cause of asthma: http://www.normalbreathing.com/asthma-cause.php .
