Different breathing techniques offer original ways of respiration. For example, traditional oriental systems (yoga, Qigong) use slow diaphragmatic breathing for physical and mental state regulation.

Buteyko method recommends optimizing breathing in order to get rid of hyperventilation and restore normal CO2 content in the body.

There are other unique breathing regulation techniques for treating different conditions and increasing body’s spare capacities.
Different breathing devices are used for training respiratory muscles based on resistance to breathing and they allow performing hypoxic trainings.

Original author’s technique of breathing exercises PNEUMOBALANCE allows simultaneous use several training factors.
During the exercise a resistance to breathing is created during inhalation and exhalation. Patient is performing long and slow exhalation while at the same time relaxing the diaphragm. This allows developing a new pattern of energy saving breathing and resistance to hypoxy.

This program allows optimal combination of training factors and improvement of self-regulation processes in the body – that’s why it’s called PNEUMOBALANCE.

This method is so simple and convenient that even elderly people and children starting from age 5-6 years old can easily master it.

With the help of this unique technique one can gradually improve their health even in case of such severe diseases as asthma and COPD, hypertension, improve nervous system, get rid of insomnia and nicotine addiction. This method is also beneficial for people leading active way of life as it increases body potential and is extremely useful when diving, swimming, running, doing fitness and other sports.

What is osteochondrosis? Above all, this is the dystrophic process in the intervertebral discs. The disks gradually lose their elasticity and collapse. As a result, the space between vertebras is reduced and the roots of the spinal nerve become squeezed, causing pain and edematous neurovascular symptoms in the field. This, in turn, leads to more and more stifling pain and muscle spasm.

The osteochondrosis can attack any part of the spinal cord. If cervical spine is affected, brain circulation can be interrupted. This leads to headaches and dizziness and may be followed by pain in the shoulder joints (humeroscapular syndrome) and intermittent blood circulation in your hands. Thoracic spine forms of the disease often occur with pain in the heart and can be taken for angina. Lumbar spine forms of the disease are characterized by pain in waist and lower extremities with different intensity: from chronic nagging pain to acute pain attacks.

Breathe with the respiration training device and move actively without pain!

Arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints or inflammatory-dystrophic nature. It may be a primary disease (eg, spondylarthritis) or secondary disease or deuteropathy (like rheumatism, gout and tuberculosis). One or more (in case of polyarthritis) joints are affected. It manifests itself through pain, reddening of the skin, limiting the flexibility of joints and changes in their shape.

Arthrosis is a common disease on the basis of dystrophic changes in cartilage. It is due to metabolism disorders, exposure to occupational risks, chronic injuries, poisoning and others. Deformations of surfaces of accession bone pain, limitation of joint flexibility and deformation are their distinguishing features of this disease.

Respiratory exercises with the training device will help solve these problems!

Diaphragmatic breathing activates the blood circulation, improves handling and capillary supply of nutrients to tissues, including the cartilaginous tissues. On the other hand, diaphragmatic breathing intensifies excretory functions, helps clear the body, reduces the inflammatory effects, reduces the intensity of pain syndrome and improves joint flexibility.

Hypoxic factor enables the body to considerably increase its flexibility and strengthens the body resistance. Moreover, the gradual reduction of oxygen provokes the development of anaerobic (without oxygen) breathing activates reserves your body naturally of intense “self-recovery process.

Immunity is a combination of body functions aimed to protect it from everything genetically foreign. Here we speak not only about bacteria, viruses, parasites, allergens and others; under certain circumstances even our own cells can become foreign to our body, for example when they change into cancer cells, mutate or advance in age. And everything genetically foreign is dangerous. The goal of the immunity is to defend body from any attack no matter where it comes from.

A healthy person is not aware of constant “fighting” within his or her body. But if the immune system fails to cope (with flu virus, for instance), the person becomes ill. When immunity does not function well, this causes frequent and long-term diseases and various complications.

Immune reaction mechanism is rather sophisticated. It includes production of antibodies that work as body ‘guards’. Their goal is to neutralize any substances (so called antigens) that intrude into a body. Theoretically speaking any immune reaction should be successful, but sometimes the immune system ‘exceeds its powers and without any control starts treating absolutely harmless substances as if they were dangerous. Such loss of control leads to destructive hyper reactions. These destructive reactions are called ‘allergic reactions’, while the antigens that provoke such reactions are called ‘allergens’.

Breathe with the respiratory training Device and live without allergy and fever all the year round!

The immune reaction is formed by marrow, lymph glands, spleen, skin, sub-epithelial lymphoid tissue, right cerebral cortex hemisphere, hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland (epiphysis). However, the proper functioning of all the above mentioned organs requires the proper functioning of other organs, which are all systemically interdependent and interrelated to secure the body’s genetic stability.

The mechanisms that recover systemic interrelations between the organs are inside us. Respiratory exercises provide a unique ability to control the physiological processes normalizing the systemic interconnections in the body. Hypoxic-hypercapnic factor plays a key part in the process.

Hypoxia essentially enhances the adaptation ability and body resistance; cellular exchange systems switch to a more economic and maximally efficient use of oxygen to get the necessary energy. Moreover, gradual decrease of oxygen activates the development of anaerobic (without oxygen) type of breathing. This produces a pronounced healing effect, activates the reserved powers of your body, which naturally intensifies the “self-recovery” process. Hypercapnia is obviously a positive factor too as CO2 is essential for all biochemical processes in your body as it regulates the vitamins and enzymes activity and helps the immune system to restore its functions.

So why on earth would there be any benefit to the above mentioned diseases?

Instead of dealing with them individually, let’s deal with them together. What all these diseases have in common is simply that the end result is that the blood flowing through the body decreases.

But why would it be beneficial for the blood to flow less?

Did you ever wonder why it is that during exercise, you feel your heart beating faster? That is because the blood needs to flow more to keep up with the demands of your cells.

But what would happen if your blood flowed that fast while you are resting?

In short, you would be dead pretty quickly. It is not true that the more blood flowing the better. It is true that there is an ideal amount of blood flowing based on how your cells are working.

Let’s relate blood flow to how fast you breathe. First of all, breathing and blood flow are related. If you hold your breath, blood will rush to your head. That is because increased circulation has a similar effect as decreased breathing rate. The less oxygen moved through the lungs, the more that needs to be moved by the blood. The inverse is also true. If you start breathing as fast as you can, your circulation will slow down for the same reason. Eventually you will get light headed due to lack of blood, and if you keep breathing fast (assuming you don’t have an asthma attack first), you will pass out. Once you are on the ground, gravity will get some blood to the head.

Here is an illustration of how this class of so-called diseases works. The pattern of stress gets the engines pumping. Your metabolism goes into anaerobic/sugar metabolism mode for quick energy. You start breathing faster and your circulation increases in anticipation of physical exertion. This discrepency between perceived and actual danger is a result of an inaccurate perception of our environment. Your cells go on your perception, since that is all they can go on. The combination of faster breathing/sugar content/faster circulation without the anticipated activity to balance the chemistry, the body’s chemistry gets messed up. Low carbon dioxide is the classic result, even though this is very difficult to test for directly.

So what does your body do?

Besides finding ways to slow the breathing (mucous/asthma/apnea/bronchitic/emphesema..), it finds ways to slow the circulation by placque, scarring, and holes in the heart. The disease of choice is based on age (fetus/child/adult), and genes. It’s that simple.

We mentioned migraines since they are a good illustration. One mechanism to slow the circulation is to narrow blood vessels (initial event in migraines) . However, when the stress which keeps the blood vessels narrowed stops, the blood vessels relax and cause a sort of wave of blood that irritates the blood vessels themselves. If the conditions necessitating slower circulation persists, the body will find more permanent ways to keep the blood vessels more narrow like plaque(atherosclerosis)/decreased elasticity(arteriosclerosis).

Instead of dealing with these thing one by one, it is much more effective addressing the pattern that necessitates these compensation mechanisms. Notice that all these patterns include an inaccurate perception of our environment. The stress reaction is not bad. It’s just bad when it is not needed.

Training with the Frolov’s Respiration Device reverses this entire pattern. You are essentially creating a need for better circulation, and your body will find a way to give it to you.The pattern is reversed in several ways. First, the precise amount of resistance isolates the diaphragmatic breathing muscles, which facilitate oxygen metabolism. That alone will help break the cycle, but the Frolov’s Respiration Training Device attacks it on more levels. The water acts as filter, making the air you breathe slightly low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. This also facilitates oxygen metabolism by what is called the Bohr effect. Third, doing the device forces your mind to relax better than anything I’ve tried before.

It’s not that you are being fixed by some man-made technology. It’s more that you are using technology to allow your natural physiology perform the way it is supposed to.

Why is overweight dangerous? Apart from the purely aesthetic problems, there is a great danger to health. Thus, arterial hypertension (high pressure), which is often the reason for heart attacks and blood-strokes, occurs in the overweight people twice as often as in people with normal weight. For people who weight 10-20% above their normal weight the risk of type II diabetes is 44% as higher as for people with normal weight. Overweight people often suffer from short wind and palpitation, even after minimal physical effort. Overweight can also lead to psycho-emotional disorders: sleep disorders, irritability, and quick fatigue.

Breathe with the Frolov’s Respiration Training Device and lose your weight in a healthy way!

A loss of weight by 5-10% will significantly decrease the risk of more serious diseases.

Respiratory exercises with the training Device will help you!

Phrenic breathing massages organs of abdominal cavity, intensifies excretive functions, and enhances the cleaning effect on your body from the first days of respiratory training. You can considerably strengthen your abdominal muscles, tuck your stomach in, and reduce your waistline.

After 3-5 weeks of training the action of the hypoxic-hypercapnic factor becomes evident.. Controlled reduction of the amount of oxygen significantly enhances your adaptation abilities and body resistance; cellular metabolism switches to a more economical and efficient use of oxygen to produce the necessary energy, which leads to the improvement of the entire body metabolism. Carbon dioxide is absolutely necessary for all the biochemical processes in the body; it regulates vitamins and ferment activity. Therefore, gradual increase in carbon dioxide level helps your body lose extra weight.

The main symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome are prolonged feeling of energy loss, no clear reasons (feeling remains even after the rest), general weakness, irritability and defective memory and attention. Chronic fatigue syndrome is often followed by muscle discomfort, fever, joint pain, headache and dizziness, anxiety and sleep disorders.

Respiratory exercises help solve all these problems in the best possible way!

Continued exhalation in normal excitement of learning processes and suppression of the nervous system, improve the quality of your sleep and relieve irritation and exhaustion.

Positive expiratory pressure occurs when the breathing resistance of water is included and has bronchodilatory action. This significantly improves pulmonary ventilation, increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, organs and tissues, including brain and activates the functions of the brain.

Diaphragmatic (abdominal) type of breathing helps to regulate pressure intrathoracic ensures optimal conditions for the heart system and improves the blood to all organs and structures of the brain in particular. These two factors increase the functional activity of central nervous system, reduce headache and dizziness as well as improve memory and attention.

Forget fatigue and headaches! Breathe with Respiratory Training Device and sleep like children!

COPD refers to a category of diseases including asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. In each of these cases, the affected person ends up with less air exchange between the body and the air. The lungs, which are where exchange takes place, develops a barrier. In the case of asthma, the muscles around the bronchioles contract, stopping air from flowing. In the case of bronchitis, the mucous acts as a barrier. Emphysema also prevents air exchange becasue the normal lung tissue is partly replaced by scar.

Sleep apnea is almost the same as COPD in the sense that the result is the same. It is a direct way to slow the loss of carbon dioxide. Also, when mucous is constantly produced, some people develop chronic cough.

But Why Are These Conditions Necessary?

Victims of each of these diseases hyperventillate, or breathe extra fast. That is the surprising truth discovered by Russian physician Professor Konstantin Buteyko, who studied breathing physiology for 30 years. But why would you, a person seeking help for your COPD, hyperventillate? The answer to that question determines what you do to reverse your COPD.

“Why would I hyperventilate in the first place?”

Hyperventilation begins when we anticipate trouble or worry about something. It is the body’s way of preparing for phyical exertion. But when we hyperventillate without the exertion, our carbon dioxide reserves become gradually depleted. Not a big deal you think? Read on.

Carbon dioxide is used for virtually every chemical reaction in the body. It is used as a buffer in the blood to prevent sudden changes of blood chemistry. It is a building block for every tissue in our body. Nature strongly protects against loss of too much carbon dioxide.

How Nature Protects Us From Hyperventillation

Nature preserves carbon dioxide in many ways, but the most direct methods are COPD and sleep apnea. Here are some facts: Low carbon dioxide causes spasm of the muscles around the broncioles. Low carbon dioxide causes mucous production. Low carbon dioxide causes scar formation. Low carbon dioxide causes you to stop breathing. Do any of these things sound related? All of these ‘diseases’ help restore carbon dioxide levels

Traditional treatments are advertised like this: Mucous bad. Let’s prevent mucous produciton. Bronchial spasm bad, lets give a drug to prevent it. But what do you think your body is going to do about your low carbon dioxide now? It will have to find some other way to deal with it. That is precicely why these ‘treatments’ are so ineffective and harmful. They stop your body from fixing itself, and ignore the thing that is really wrong.

We actually have a way to fix the low carbon dioxide problem, which is primarily caused by habitual hyperventillation, which is caused primarily by habitual stress. It is called Frolov’s respiratory training device.

Instead of expensive drugs that don’t work, we advise you to train your breathing properly.

In is no wonder. When you inhale the cigarette smoke, it goes through your mouth and throat into your lungs. The smoke contains over 4 thousand chemicals including highly toxic substances, and substances provoking cancer such as formaldehyde, benzyl, arsenic and others. When the smoke reaches lungs, it precipitates there as resins. Cigarette smoke directly interferes with the lungs functioning increasing the risk of cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other pulmonary diseases that obstruct breathing.

Luckily lots of changes are reversible. The Frolov’s Training Device can help you to give up this habit and rehabilitate your health!

From the very first days of training with the Device, you will feel revitalized and energized; you will see how intensively your lungs will be cleared from toxic substances, which have accumulated in the lungs for years. The cleaning process is activated by the increased inhale resistance, which leads to the increased negative pressure in the lungs and bronchi, enhancing goblet and ciliated cells functioning (the former produce secretion, the latter are able to move the secretion actively out of bronchi) and helping clean the lungs and bronchi from mucus and sputum. The increased exhale resistance leads to a higher positive pressure in the lungs, which produces a bronchodilatory effect. This effect significantly intensifies the pulmonary ventilation and increases the amount of oxygen available in the blood, organs and tissues, normalizing their functions. Barbotation creates active air micro-vibration in the closed space, producing a positive effect on the passage of the air through the bronchial tubes (micro massage). In a short time you forget about painful morning cough and bubbling wheezes in the lungs and eventually you forget about the short breath.

Prolonged respiratory training allows the adaptive qualities of the body to improve significantly and enhances immune resistance due to the hypoxic-hypercapnic factor. Cellular metabolism switches to highly effective and more economical use of oxygen to get the necessary energy. That activates the bodily reserves, which naturally intensify the processes of ‘self-recovery’. Blood vessels become stronger and the circulation of blood improves; it significantly decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The immune system and metabolism become more active, which leads to the extraction of toxic substances from cells, reducing the body addition to nicotine.

Practically healthy women aged 38-39 were subjected to the examination. Studies of the external respiration function were performed with the “Masterlab” aparatus of the “ERICH JAGER” Company, that of gas exchange with the gas analyser of the named company. Parameters that were to be determined: respiration pattern – inhalation and exhalation time, respiratory act (cycle) duration. Tests under physical load were performed to determine gas exchange parameters, heartbeat frequency, general and biochemical blood analysis. Hemodynamics condition was assessed through tachooscillogram, recorded at the “HELLIGE” Company’s apparatus. Combined effect of resistance to breathing, hypoxia and hypercapnia was simulated with the Frolov’s inhalator. An additional resistance to breathing was created with the water obstruction of 35 mm at the inhalation phase and 17 mm at the exhalation phase. The gas analysis and oxygen blood saturation determination was performed before the training session, in the course of it and within an hour after it. Training sessions 20 min in duration were performed daily through three months.

Results.

As the practice of the respiratory exercises gained, the exhalation time gradually increased and nearing the end of the training course it showed 35 sec.

The hypoxic and hypercapnic effect grew in proportion with the exhalation time increase: Oxygen percentage in 1 liter volume was sinking down to 10%, while carbon dioxide percentage was rising up to 7% at the moment when the exhalation phase amounted to 30 sec.

The gain was a considerable decrease in respiration frequency from 16-18 to 6-8 per minute. This frequency diminished chiefly through the exhalation phase lengthening: the inhalation increased by 31.5%, the exhalation did so by 102.6%. Systole frequency lowered by 18%. The oxygen consumption restoration time after a uniform physical load decreased by 66.6%. The gas exchange parameters witnessed a considerable change (see Table).

The oxygen (FO2) utilization rate and ��2 content in the alveolar air evidenced increase at rest, as well as under a physical load. Thus, in this case, the adaptation changes became apparent already at rest, getting more pronounced still under a physical load. Our studies testify to the alveolar ventilation optimization along with respiratory and blood circulation function minimization as a result of the respiratory training.
