The most striking examples of recovery on Buteyko method
First example. I think that the most striking example of recovery on Buteyko method is academician Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko himself. He had malignant hypertension at 29 years old. He was supposed to die at 30 years old. But Buteyko saved himself by means of his VEDB method. He lived almost three times 29 years and died at age 81 in May of 2003.
The second example is famous Russian artist Yuri Kuklachev. He has a very remarkable act on the programme with his performing cats. And he had a very terrible allergy from those cats… His throat was ill very often. Dryness, redness. Every drink gave big pain. Yuri bought Lugol oil, expensive medicines. But the throat was ill. His nose was ill too. Loving work with performing cats was a big threat. Suddenly one Buteyko methodist came to his make-up room. That methodist said that Yuri Kuklachev breathes very deeply. The Buteyko methodist taught Yuri the Buteyko VEDB method. And Kuklachev began a new healthy life! Yuri Kuklachev tells about that remarkable recovery in the documentary film "The only winner". "I noticed that my Lugol oil stands without any using…" — says Kuklachev in the documentary film. "My nose began to breathe very good at last" — adds Yuri. He had a very terrible allergy. And he became a healthy man by means of the VEDB method.
The third example. It is an example from the documentary film "The only winner" too. It is an example of remarkable recovery of 35-year-old Natasha Petrova. I do not know Yuri Kuklachev himself. But I very well know Natasha Petrova herself. I lived with that woman in Novosibirsk academic town. Natasha Petrova was a scientific worker in a big institute. She had cancer of the blood at 35 years old. Lymphogranulomatosis of the fourth degree. Physicians refused her. She completed all courses of chemical therapeutics and was left to die in full loneliness… Natasha grew bald. Her son felt shy to show her to his friends. He was very afraid that his mother would die soon after. Meeting with academician Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko came to be the second birth for Natasha. She suddenly saw the light at the end of the tunnel. She trained sitting on the chair in the beginning. Her hair again grew on her head. Natasha added Buteyko training in walking. She went to the mountain and breathed by Buteyko. Natasha came to her physicians after three months. They were very afraid of her. They thought that she was dead long ago. But she was living and her lymphogranulomatosis was dead… If you remember, our dear readers, the wife of Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev — Raisa Gorbacheva died from such illness. She tried to cure her illness in Germany. Raisa Gorbacheva died in a German hospital. Natasha Petrova is living now…

The fourth example. That example is especially important for women who want to have children. It is the great problem in the contemporary world — childless woman… How much grief a childless family experiences! The life of such a family is like life in a grave… My own wife Ludmila Sokolskaya could not have a child. At age 32 in 1984. She was a scientific worker in the Institute of Automation in Novosibirsk academic town. She had hard pyelonephritis, hard osteochondrosis, very bad blood. Only those three illnesses can kill a child by birth… Only those three hard illnesses. And Ludmila had yet 10 hard illnesses. Physicians categorically forbade her to give birth. Categorically. Ludmila met academician Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko at the end of 1984. His VEDB method gave salvation to her. We married her in June of 1988. Our son Kostya was born 19 October 1989. The physician did not want to take pregnant Ludmila into the maternity home. The head physician shouted at Ludmila, stamped his feet. He shouted that it is impossible for her to give birth! Impossible! But a very remarkable entry was made in the journal of the maternity home on 19 October 1989. "Altoukhov Kostya — 4.4 kilograms." It was the largest and healthiest child among 12 children born that day!!! It was the great victory of the Buteyko method. 8 June 1990 was a remarkable day too. Academician Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko and his best methodist Klara Fedorovna Lagunova christened Kostya and me (I was not christened at that time yet) in the main Novosibirsk church. Kostya terribly cried in the christening room. Konstantin Pavlovich held him in his hands and was very nervous. Klara Fedorovna kissed little Kostya on the foot. It is a pity that you cannot photograph inside the church. Konstantin Pavlovich ran away quickly from the church to television. And I photographed only Klara Fedorovna and Ludmila with Kostya near the church. Now that 15-year-old child is making that Buteyko site for you, our dear readers.
The fifth example. It is an example of recovery from AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). You will be very surprised, our respected readers. AIDS is an incurable illness now! Yes. It is incurable illness by means of tablets… Buteyko methodist Vladimir Anatolievich Novoselov made a successful approbation of the Buteyko method on 13 AIDS sick men in April of 1991 in Kiev (Ukraine). I was at that remarkable approbation myself. And Vladimir Novoselov is my big friend. I cannot say that all 13 AIDS sick men suddenly became absolutely healthy people. It is impossible in one month of Buteyko training. But all 13 AIDS sick men received a very big improvement in their health. They received improvement of their blood indices during two months after that approbation was made in the institute of Gromashevsky. An official account about that approbation was printed in the third volume of my "Doctor Butenko's Discovery" trilogy. You can ask me — "Why is such a grandiose victory not known to all the world?" The answer is very simple. The Buteyko method is a medicine-less method. But AIDS sick men give very big money to physicians for expensive but useless tablets… That is the main answer!
Our respected readers, I can give you many good examples of recovery on the Buteyko method. But I must say to you — the victory does not come automatically. You must work in the Buteyko method. It is not very difficult work really. But that work has three main fragments:
- The first fragment — absolute knowledge of the cornerstones of Buteyko theory
- a) Verigo-Bor Law
- b) The table of atmosphere evolution
- c) The table of lung's ventilation
- The second fragment — the good knowledge of the main kinds of Buteyko training in practical studies.
- The third fragment — it is regular implementation of Buteyko training. Regular implementation without looking back at the opinion of other people…
Practice shows that only three men out of ten can strongly observe all three fragments now. Only three now. The chief mistake of seven men out of ten is that they want to have practice immediately! They do not want to study the three cornerstones of Buteyko theory well. They think that only practice will give rescuing to them. It is not truth! Naked practice — it is simply to sit on the chair and to breathe shallowly. That is all… But such practice cannot give rescuing to you. You must know the three cornerstones of Buteyko theory as a player! The sense of those cornerstones must enter your subconsciousness. It needs only 40 days for that. It is a medical fact. For 40 days your subconsciousness will reject all that is new. You need to read some thick books on the Buteyko theme for that. I wrote three thick volumes of my "Doctor Butenko's Discovery" trilogy specially for that. I want to give time to your subconsciousness to get Buteyko theory. That theory turns over all your habitual ideas. The theoretical part is the main part of the Buteyko method. Therefore I consider that tuition by correspondence is possible too (if you have a good computer).
