Note: The following testimonials were written and sent to me by students in the San Antonio and Austin Buteyko Institutes. Suzanne Crain

Last May 2010, I developed the worst case of acute bronchitis I've ever had... i coughed nearly 5 months !    I was prescribed Advair by my doctor at first, but never used it.   - i have not had ONE sore throat OR cough OR cold since taking Robert's workshop last Oct.  THis is a record for me.  For the past few years, I always develop bronchitis after a cold, but this year I did not even get a cold, and NO more bronchitis !     I don't wake with a dry mouth, and I don't snore anymore !   Usually in the winter I have at least one cold... I feel the bronchitis is gone forever.  I know the dramatic improvement in my health is due to taping my mouth closed while I sleep (which Dr. Buteyko recommended)..  I am conscious and aware of my breathing all the time and I never inhale [through my mouth] when i talk anymore.  I am eternally grateful to the Buteyko method.     Susan Straus

Days after class;  Hi [Suz]Anne, I wanted to thank you again for hosting a powerful workshop this weekend. I found Robert easy to relate to and his ideas practical and effective. I just got back from a 90 minute bike ride and lowered my pause (exercise) and blood pressure both by 40% with 5 minutes of reduced breathing (exercise)! I am really looking forward to integrating it daily.

At 21 days; I am thrilled to report that as of 5 pm today I will be 21 days inhaler free as a result of the exercises !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hold this as a miracle as I was under the impression that my asthma and being able to sleep for only 6 hours a night was something I would need to live with for the rest of my life. So, after 10 years I am drug free and retraining my lungs to breathe through my nose.

6 Mos; Wanted to let you know that I just crossed my 6 month mark without any use of inhalers. I am able to breathe through my nose while exercising and overall am doing great. 

10 mos; I am still inhaler free since the last class 10 months ago!

11 mos;  I am continuing to support it, as it has totally changed my life with me now celebrating just under a year asthma/inhaler free!
