I want you to know that I have lost 35 lbs since I joined your Buteyko class last October. As of now, I am still doing some of the exercises. I have also not experienced any asthma attacks since doing Buteyko....

“I am no longer taking steroids or any sort of asthma medications…and I feel great. No asthma or angina episodes of any sort for almost 2 months. My BP is average 145/85 – down from 160/95. My pulse rate is 80-90 – down from 105-110. My cardiologist is very pleased with my progress and sees it having a “domino effect” as far as healing my body is concerned. If my blood pressure continues on it’s downward swing, he’ll also reduce the BP medication. I’ve been off digestive medication for over a month now, and haven’t suffered one hyperacidity attack. I’ve lost 10lbs. in weight already.”...

Its been two months now that I am enjoying my new life. No ventolin, no nebulizer, no wheezing in my chest, above all no asthma attack. Thanks to Buteyko Method being the safe and effective alternative for the management of asthma, I can do whatever I want to do without fear of an asthma attack. Jac, thank you for bringing Buteyko Method here in the Philippines. GOD BLESS!!!...

” It’s now a year since that relapse/breakthrough I had when I emailed you. Since then, no medications of any kind (I’ve even given up my vit C and other ‘healthy’ pills) and not one cold or flu. The pollution is no better so it’s a great success…. you were right about everything.”...

“I would, just like to send you my thanks Jac, for changing my life.. since doing Buteyko, I am a complete different person, I am now 35 kilo’s lighter as I am no longer Steroid dependant, I can breathe with ease and I feel terrific. I have only been, on steroids once, since your workshop 12 months ago, My G.P. cannot believe the improvement in my Asthma, when I tell people I was a Chronic Asthmatic, for 26 years, and now they see, I am so healthy they can’t believe it either, I highly recommend Buteyko, to all who will listen. I am currently down to 2 x flixotide daily, that is all the medication I am taking…. I can’t remember the last time I reached for my Ventolin puffer.. I have not been on my nebuliser machine for 12 months. I no longer suffer, servere chest infections, I got through last winter without pneumonia or pleuracy, which is a great as I usually suffer with pneumonia most winters or pleuracy and I am then sick for most of winter, I am so well I am holding down full time employment in my teacher job. I have been on two overseas trips since Buteyko, and it felt great not having to carry a machine around with me, on the plane or have it close by in case I began to have breathing difficulties. Previous to Buteyko, it was such a hassle to go overseas as I had to pack a suitcase for clothes, and one for my machine and medication.. not to mention the high medical insurance I had to take incase I, was rushed to hospital. My Control Pause is now 50 secs, not bad, for someone who, was struggling to hold their CP for 5 secs. when I first came to you for Buteyko. I cannot thank you enough Jac, for giving me a new life, I feel fantastic… I have enclosed a picture of myself, to show you how healthy I look, now I am not bloated on Steroids, Thank you Jac…”...

“I don’t hyperventilate as much anymore. On the few occasions that I do, I just do the exercises. I always feel much better afterwards. I rarely get headaches now and my overall well-being is so much better. With my friend ,N., the change has been really dramatic! She’s very, very happy she took your workshop. After we wrote you regarding her cough and bout with the flu, she took your advice. She soon recovered completely and up to now, she hasn’t had a real asthma attack (just slight tightening of the chest which easily goes away with the exercises) and has never again resorted to the use of Ventolin. She does the exercises in the mornings in the car on the way to work. She’s now taking Flixotide only occasionally, maybe just one puff once a week (only when she feels she needs the support of some extra steroid). Also, her constipation is completely gone, plus she no longer experiences dysmenorrhea with her monthly periods. And the best news is that several people have commented that her skin now looks so smooth and clear! Bet if you advertised this benefit, you’d get more women to take the Buteyko workshop!”...

“I am very happy to report that I have been free of asthma, colds and flu for the first time in my life while visiting here at my mother’s home in Birmingham. Besides using Buteyko I am taking a low dose of Flixotide – very different from numerous puffs of Bricanyl every day with regular attacks!”...

“Before practicing Buteyko I was taking my ventolin to a dance class. Three months after I started practicing, I climbed a mountain to 12,000 feet above sea level without any medication whatsoever.”...

“Snoring has decreased if not ceased. I am better at breathing – especially when I go to the gym for aerobic exercise. All the benefits in my health like no asthma attacks for over a year, I attribute to the Buteyko Method. I’ve also lost much weight since the workshop.”...

“Prior to learning the Buteyko Method, I had been suffering from hideous sinus allergy attacks for several years. The doctors kept giving me progressively stronger types of anti-histamines which I took on a regular basis. After only a couple of days of doing Buteyko, my sinus allergies were gone and my medicine intake was completely eliminated. I couldn’t believe it. I now have a lower pulse rate, need less sleep and am in generally better health.”...
