* As in most of the sciences, the science of health is burdened with a lot of false assumptions and ulterior motives, like profit and loyalty to tradition more than to truth. I'll try to list a few health breakthroughs that are being resisted by the status quo.
First Breakthrough
* I just learned about the Buteyko Method yesterday. Buteyko was a Russian scientist who worked with the space program. He found that the cause of Asthma, allergy, sleep apnea etc is breathing too heavily. And it turns out that many serious diseases also are caused at least in part by such excessive breathing. Forceful breathing expels too much Carbon Dioxide from the lungs. When CO2 levels in the lungs fall below about 3%, the blood level also falls to about that level and the red blood cells then cannot efficiently release oxygen into the blood, where it's then available to all the cells. So you can see that too low CO2 levels in the lungs and the blood leads to oxygen starvation.
* I listened to quite a few videos last night about the Buteyko Method at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... type=&aq=f and one of them said a way to check your breathing is to do a Controlled Pause, i.e. hold your breath between breaths and see how many seconds you can do it comfortably. First, you take a normal breath in and then leave it out as you normally do, then hold your nose with your mouth closed. First I only did it for 8 seconds. Then I was able to do it from about 17 to 33 seconds comfortably. So my average is around 20 seconds. Below 5 seconds is very bad; below 20 is bad; below 40 is not very good; 40 or longer is good. Luckily, the brain can be adjusted to better breathing habits, but it takes at least a month of practice. There are several recommendations, like: breathe only through the nose as much as possible; try to stifle yawns and sighs by making several short inhalations followed by several partial exhalations; learn to unblock the nose; breathe into a paper bag and breathe out from it for up to a minute; when walking, hold one nostril closed; do controlled pauses often; sleep on your side or stomach, not on your back; etc.
* This playlist has a lot of info on health problems related to poor breathing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj_8J8Bc ... PL&index=9
* One of the videos mentioned that CO2 levels on Earth a few million years ago were much higher than today. Now there's almost no CO2 in the air, but then there was 5% or more. So at that time people could have breathed heavily without then expelling too much CO2. Now, if you breathe too heavily, you hyperventilate, because you don't have enough CO2 to release oxygen from your red blood cells. Of course, it wasn't really millions of years ago that CO2 levels were so high. That's another false assumption based on uniformitarian dating methods. In reality it was very likely only a mere few thousand years ago. And the catastrophes involved in the Saturn System breakup were likely what removed most of our CO2. And, by the way, this is another nail in the global warming coffin, as global warming theory falsely assumes that CO2 is a pollutant.

I'm a congestive heart patient. Shallow breathing is what I'm about. I can get 20 seconds easily because of how I typically normally breathe - shallow by some standards, but works best for me. I noticed a distinct change in available good stuff to breathe beginning in 1990 and worsening up until present. I don't think it's all due to the heart condition. There are rare days, even now, when the air is easier to breathe, the outside pressures are alleviated and I'm a free bird. But strap an oxygen tank to me and I'm fighting with claws to get away from it.

[Lloyd]

* Dr. Bruce West has said that much congestive heart failure is caused by blood pressure drugs, which weaken the heart so it can't pump hard enough to make high blood pressure. It's ironic that the Buteyko Method reduces high blood pressure and that one of the videos mentions that conventional medicine, like with inhalers for asthma, treats symptoms instead of causes and thus make worse problems than the one first treated.

If i may add another suppressed science to health, quantum bio feedback coupled with functional medicine. No needles, vitamins instead of expensive and complex out to in types of medication. Let our bodies do the work they are designed to do. Page 14 of electromass.

Hypocapnia is the number 1 health issue. Normal blood CO2 should
be 40-45 and when it is 30-35 a lot of health problems arise. At
CO2 of 25 full blown hyperventillation occurs. One can do breathing
exercises to raise the CO2 but this does not address the cause
which undoubtably occurs when a foetus or a baby. Capnometers are
becoming cheap and portable and easy to use and now all doctors
should test for CO2 as much as testing for blood pressure. However
this is not happening and even respiratory specialists do not
measure CO2. Pressure your doctor to get a capnometer and use it !

Here is an article on the chemistry of respiration :

Other health issues are diet, toxins(esp mercury), low vitamin D,
e/m interference, exercise, stress and trauma, biofilm, and others.

OK, this is probably after the Saturn System break-up, but the
evidence for sustained higher CO2 levels during the Saturn System
is doubtful. I find it very doubtful that the current large
amount of hypocapnia (low blood CO2) we have these days is in
any way related to ancient atmospheric CO2 levels. It is stress
that increases breathing rate and I believe that it is mothers
under stress that affects their foetuses and babies, which causes
a predisposition for faster breathing rate and thus hypocapnia
with it's multiple symptoms.

google surgical resolution of diabetes to see some cool info. It seems when performing gastric bypass operations Type II diabetes resolved before there was any weight loss! Read an article on line from an English newspaper about a guy who was using 150 units a day of insulin and went to none after having just the bypass part of the operation done. Maybe Type II diabetes is caused by disfunction in the gut and not the pancreas?

It is interesting that chronic hypocapnia has a myriad of symptoms. So especially for symptoms that involve breathing, checking one's breathed out carbon dioxide levels should be a very easy way to eliminate a likely candidate.
