  • Comment on: Nurses to be trained to teach Buteyko Breathing Technique to asthmatics

    Michael Lingard's comment 21-May-2010 1:11 am

    For anyone wanting to refer patients to a free book source, I do have my book "Escape from Asthma" as a free download on my site http://www.buteykokent.co.uk. As the previous writer says I too wanted to get this simple, effective aid for asthma patients across to as many as possible. There is at present only one Buteyko Practitioner per 50,000 asthma patients! PS NHSOnline.net has discounted courses for NHS staff, thereis no better way of understanding a therapy than using it oneself, we all need some breathing help.

    I am delighted to see progress in the provision of the Buteyko Method on the NHS and look forward to the day when every asthma patient may have this as a choice of route. However I do feel anxious about the severely reduced training being given compared with other establish courses. Perhaps this will be recognized on the course and follow up courses developed to close the gap?
