Medical Professionals' Feedback

Relearning how to breathe in a way that supports outstanding health can be game-changing for great digestion, hormonal balance and restorative sleep, as well as the function of the respiratory system. And Glenn is a wonderful coach whose techniques and experience can make a huge difference. More

Glenn White’s Buteyko clinic has been the source of excellent results for my patients. I like that he has a course that they can go on which helps to correct the ingrained habit of poor breathing. I am very happy with his treatments. More

As a General Practitioner for twenty five years I have often been dissatisfied with the disease control and quality of life achieved by my asthmatic patients. The common thread despite their use of medication correctly has been poor perception and attitude towards their illness, often with fear of loss of control... More

I highly recommend Buteyko breathing training to anyone with asthma, sleep apnoea, snoring or anxiety. More

Having heard remarkable reports from my patients who did the Buteyko course, my son and I tried it out. I learned how to eliminate a migraine headache and my son's asthma, made worse by cold and exercise was noticeably better just by doing the exercises. More

Glenn is an excellent teacher. I had the pleasure of attending one of his free introductory evening seminars. I could see how the principles of Buteyko could work. As a consequence I started to send asthma patients to see Glenn for help with their breathing techniques. Once I understood the physiology it made sense to work on the breathing. More

Glenn has helped many of my patients and empowered them to move beyond their asthma. With his Buteyko techniques they have been able to reduce inhaler use significantly. He has been particularly successful with children – they love Glenn's enthusiastic style. I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and his techniques to patients. More

I work in General Practice and the knowledge that I gained from Glenn’s course has been invaluable to my understanding of some the health problems presenting in the people I see. I cannot imagine practising medicine without the understanding I now have of the impact of faulty breathing on health... More

I am highly impressed by the Buteyko breathing training offered by Glenn White in Auckland. I have referred many patients to this course now who have noticed marked improvements in their health. More

I met Glenn at a Mind-Body conference in 2004. At the time I knew very little about Buteyko so I made a point of checking it out which saw me attending an introductory seminar at Glenn’s Ponsonby Clinic. I don’t have asthma and I hadn’t ever been aware of how I was breathing, but following advice given at the seminar, I was amazed at how much easier it was for me to exercise if I breathed through my nose instead of my mouth.

Today, medicine is in dire need of Buteyko more than ever, particularly when one fully understands the powerful link between stress and breathing... If you are a health care professional reading this, consider referring your patients to Glenn and expect excellent feedback from grateful patients. Read on More

Thank you Glenn for teaching me this essential life skill. I would highly recommend Buteyko as most people trigger stress response by incorrect breathing. Buteyko can re-align our neuro-hormonal response to function at its best. By learning Buteyko breathing techniques we can expect to live a healthier life as well as preventing stress related chronic illness. More

I invited Glenn White to run a Buteyko breathing clinic at my practice in 2004. I witnessed impressive results. From the very first sessions noses cleared, asthma symptoms improved and people reported improved sleep and a sense of well-being from the breathing exercises. I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn’s programme for the treatment of asthma, hay-fever, snoring, sleep apnoea and help in relieving stress and improved sleep. More

Susan Clow BDS runs the Dentist Pukekohe and credits the Buteyko course with resolving her daughter's enlarged tonsils of nine years. She was so impressed that she now offers Buteyko courses at her dental practice. More

Based on medical and scientific review within our clinic, and experiences of breathing courses provided by Buteyko Breathing Clinics, the Centre for Advanced Medicine Limited is happy to refer our clients with breathing related conditions to your programme... More

Read Dr David Nicholls' thank-you letter for Glenn White's session on 'Breathing Retraining and the Buteyko Institute Method'. More

I have asked Glenn to speak at Wellpark College many times over the past seven years, and have always found his talks to be well structured, informative, and inspirational. Our students always give the most positive feedback every time Glenn has lectured. I have known several people who have completed Glenn’s Buteyko course, and it has been of enormous benefit to each of them. More

I wish I was aware of the Buteyko Breathing programme when the children were young. They were all hospitalised with asthma when Ventolin syrup was the only option. More

I am a HUGE fan of Buteyko Breathing Clinics. Learning to breathe correctly can eliminate so many health issues.....asthma, anxiety, ADHD, sinusitis, snoring, recurrent colds and being overweight just to name a few. More

The Buteyko Breathing Method is a powerful set of health-care guidelines and methodology for reversing over-breathing or hyperventilation. I incorporate the breathing exercises into my therapy. More

…people practising Buteyko are able to decrease their asthma medication, not deteriorate significantly and maintain objective measures of lung function. More

While the mechanism of effect of the Buteyko breathing technique (BBT) may not be accepted, or even thoroughly understood, it offers levels of impact that, if produced by a drug, would be adopted widely... More

All published studies on the Buteyko breathing technique, including one which we performed in Gisborne, have shown positive results. Reductions of reliever medications averaged 85 to 95 per cent and reductions in preventer medication 40 to 50 per cent. More

The Buteyko Institute Method will be key in reducing patients' reliance on their inhalers and helping people manage their asthma with significantly less medication and feeling more in control of their condition. More

As lung specialists we know from clinical experience that even spending a small amount of time teaching patients how to manage their condition and control their breathing appropriately can reduce both the number of asthma attacks and improve their quality of life. More

My book, "Every Breath You Take", was the result of six years of research into the Buteyko Method and the results it has achieved for asthma sufferers. The results are astonishing and suggest a direct link between our breathing patterns and our level of health. More

The British Guideline on the Management of Asthma 2008 grants permission for British health professionals to recommend Buteyko, stating that the method "may be considered to help patients control the symptoms of asthma". The guideline also grades clinical research on Buteyko with a 'B' classification - indicating that high-quality supporting clinical trials are available. More

Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with nasal congestion, particularly after failed nasal surgery. More
