Book Review: Worth its weight in gold
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to be a relatively healthy middle age female, who have never had respiratory troubles. My story started with ordinary winter flu and consequent bronchitis, that left me coughing for month, and eventually wheezy and completely breathless. After few months of pulmonary tests, CT scans, ER visits, antibiotics and steroids (oral and inhaled), the verdict was in - I have a late offset of a non allergic moderate to severe asthma, and I'll have it for the rest of my life. I thought to myself - I just need to find the right doctor, who understands what is happening to me. Five doctors later (one GP, two asthma and allergy specs, two pulmonologists), I was pretty much where I've started, except my asthma was more or less controlled with drugs. None of the doctors had the answers to WHY and HOW this happened to me. The next step would be to explore alternative cures. I've joined yoga class, started homeopathic treatment and continued for a year. I took few treatments of Chinese herbs and tried a couple month of acupuncture. Although yoga has been very beneficial for my body strength and flexibility, it did nothing for my asthma. None of the other treatments worked. Every time I've tried to decrease my dose of steroids, my asthma was coming back with the vengeance. Every time I increase the dose I was having harsh side effects from the drugs. My quality of life was spiraling down. I felt absolutely helpless. One day my never ending search for cure over Internet brought me across Buteyko method. Pieces and bits of information were hard to put together, but once I had a slight understanding what is it about, I started applying it during asthma attacks. It was an eye opening moment, when I was able to stop my attack without using the inhaler. I knew I've finally found something that is working. To find a practitioner anywhere close to where I live turned out to be impossible. The method was virtually unknown in US. I knew I had to search for some good literature about it. Patrick's book has changed my life in so many ways. It is written in such manner, that every asthmatic could instantly relate. It has a wealth of information delivered in a simple and practical way.
I am happy to say my days of drugs and asthma battles are over. My initial anger and frustration over the fact that something so simple and effective should be widely known, turned into desire to help others and increase an awareness of the method in United States. I've traveled to Irealnd to be trained as Buteyko Practitioner at Patrick's clinics (www.buteykoclinic.com). It was an incredible experience seeing so many people frustrated with their conditions for years feeling better after just a couple weeks of workshops. I am proud to say I am starting my practice in US (www.asthmacare.us). If you are an asthmatic or suffering from any other respiratory condition, this book will be one of the best investments you've ever made.
