A Brief History Of Breathing And Buteyko
The information in this article is from the research of Professor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, an eminent scientist and doctor still working in Moscow. His early study as a medical student was a project which involved measuring the breathing of fatally ill patients. His project was to measure their breathing as they approached death. This task, which seems like a ghoulish thing to ask a young man to do, gave Buteyko the direction for his life s work. His measurements showed that the closer the people got to death, the deeper their breathing became. It got to the point where Buteyko could predict with great accuracy the time of death, from days before or simply by measuring their breathing. It seemed odd to him at the time that the deep breathing he was seeing on deathbeds was identical to that being promoted at the time and still today by some misguided experts to develop GOOD health. His later research asked perfectly healthy subjects to breathe deeply for a period of time. All of them became...
Fibromyalgia Faq: Answers To Some Common Questions About Fibromyalgia
Is fibromyalgia a real disease. Many have thought that Fibromyalgia was just in the heads of the patients, that it was psychosomatic. However, now through brain scans doctors have found definite malfunctioning brain sensory activity.

Obesity Can Be Caught Like A Cold
A team of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, led by Dr Leah Whigham, discovered that the human adenovirus Ad-37 leads to obesity in chickens, marking the third virus to be linked to being overweight: two related viruses, Ad-36 and Ad-5, also lead to obesity in animals. What s more, Ad-36 has been connected with human obesity, which leads scientists to suspect that Ad-37 also may be connected. We know Ad-36, and now Ad-37, cause obesity in animals, said Dr Whigham, whose findings are published in the American Journal of Physiology. But we do not have cause-and-effect data in humans - you cannot ethically do the experiments for that kind of data: infect humans and see if they get fat. The idea that viruses can lead to obesity has been a controversial one among researchers, she admitted. And still, there is evidence that other factors may be at work. With the exception of infectious diseases, no other chronic disease in history has spread so rapidly, Dr Whigham said. The nearly simultaneous...
