Interesting stuff on Buteyko - a bit of an unsung hero


"Buteyko’s theory is that at least 90% of the world’s population hyperventilates to some degree; this causes a deficit in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the system, which in turn leads to less oxygen (O2) being released by the haemoglobin to the cells and tissue of the body, the Bohr Effect.. The central organs of the body begin to become starved of oxygen and soon begin to suffer; this in turn can lead to many chronic medical conditions."
