Book description
This is a highly effective programme for adults and children which
incorporates the revolutionary Buteyko breathing method.
Patrick McKeown is a former chronic asthmatic who went on to become one
of the very few accredited Buteyko practitioners in Britain. The Buteyko
breathing method is the single most effective self-help treatment for
asthma and can be used by adults and children.
With the programme, asthma sufferers can:
• stop persistent attacks and coughing
• reduce their dependency on medication
• unblock nose naturally with a simple exercise
• prevent attacks during sports
• explain breathing exercises to a child
• learn about diet, sleeping and other lifestyle factors 'It is
absolutely unbelievable. I have been on my drugs for 15 years…Give it a
go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.'
-Jean McConnell, school teacher
'I have a quality of life I have not had for 40 years.'
-71 year old severe asthmatic, previously wheelchair bound
'Before I missed football, parties and swimming. Now I am able to do
everything I couldn't do.'
-Lorcan, aged 12
'Within a week, Lorca was off all his reliever medication (10 puffs a
day). He is now captain of his football team.'
-Lorcan's mother Patrick McKeown, BA, MA (tdc)dip. Buteyko, was a
chronic asthmatic for most of his life. When he applied the Buteyko
breathing method, he freed himself from his asthma condition. As a
qualified Buteyko practitioner, he is now just one of a few Western
experts accredited and authorised by Prof Konstantin Buteyko to teach
this method. His three clinics - Asthma Care - are in Dublin, Galway and
Cork . His clinics and work have been featured on a huge amount of Irish
media.
