Richard Bannister's Personal Recovery Story |
Until I applied the Buteyko Method, I suffered from asthma attacks,
or the threat of one, since I
was a small child. My condition
was triggered by exercise,
dust, animals and who knows
what else. For almost fifty
years I took asthma medication
every day: including, at
one point or another; advair,
ventolin, flovent, serevent
and ephedrine. While I led
a healthy lifestyle, exercising
every day, eating wholesome
food and trying to reduce
allergens in my home, I
was dependent upon pharmaceutical
drugs to give me the feeling
that I could breathe with
comfort.
My asthma seemed well under
control using advair every
night, but I worried about
the side effects, having
read the long list that
comes with each prescription.
I was also tired of shelling
out close to $200 for each
refill as my insurance didn’t
cover it. When I came across
the New
York Times article ,
I thought “What have
I got to lose?” I
bought the Buteyko
Method CD and through diligent application
of the methods given thereon,
I was able to get stop my
inhaler use within a few
weeks. However, my recovery
felt rocky and I was intrigued
as to how far this practice
could be taken, so I enrolled
in the Buteyko
Method and Lifestyle program I’m happy to say,
it has freed me from my
dependence on drugs.
|
Now I enjoy having the knowledge that I need not have an asthma attack again, but it goes beyond that.
(“But wait, there’s
more!”) I feel better
in my physical being than
I have in years. I now live
my life in a more relaxed
state, I find the time to
drive more slowly and don’t
feel so offended by the
bad habits of other drivers,
I have more clarity of thought,
greater concentration and
a general overall improvement
in health. In yoga, my body
seems to be gaining elasticity
at a faster pace and my
muscles recover more quickly.
While others around me seem
to be suffering from allergies,
mine have not bothered me.
My guitar playing is more
focused and even my singing
has improved! I find I need
less sleep and so have gained
the time in which to do
the exercises. I feel better
than I have in years.
Consequently, I want to
offer my thanks to my teachers, Thomas and Sasha Yakovlev-Fredricksen, to their teachers Konstantin Buteyko, Ludmila Buteyko, Andrey Novozhilov, to Buteyko Center Program Coordinator, Jesse Steinberg, and to everyone else who has helped bring the Buteyko breathing method into my life.
I am very happy to be involved with the programs being offered by the Buteyko Center USA and I look forward with great excitement to learning more and gaining greater understanding of the Buteyko Method. I have enrolled to become a practitioner so that I can help share this remarkable discovery and guide those who seek a holistic, gentle remedy for asthma, and other conditions, in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region as a whole.
Thank you to all of you who have helped and guided me thus far to make my life so much better.
