Buteyko Breathing Clinic 2014 New Year Newsletter
In this newsletter
Happy New Year 2014 on behalf of the Buteyko Breathing Clinic!
We hope that you have all enjoyed a wonderful summer holiday and that your 2014 is off to a fantastic start. We started the year off with courses in January and February. Glenn was invited to give a breakfast talk to media kindly organised and hosted by ecostore. 2014 promises to be an exciting year for our clinic. New practitioners Tricia, Susan, Melody and Olga will be helping Glenn run courses this year. You can read about our new practitioners on the website
How about an allergy-free summer?
Were you plagued by hay fever over the summer break? Antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays only suppress the symptoms and like all medications have side effects. For example, long-term use of nasal steroids raises the risk of developing cataracts and glaucoma in later life.
In the 15 February issue of The New Zealand Listener, nutritionist Jennifer Bowden reveals a hidden side effect of anti-histamines. A 2010 study in the Journal of Obesity found that antihistamine users had significantly higher body weight, waist circumference and insulin concentrations than non-users. Turns out antihistamines stimulate your appetite and lead to weight gain. And you thought it was those extra helpings of turkey with stuffing, summer barbeques and bubbles!
|
Glenn White: "I suffered from seasonal hay fever and took antihistamines and nasal steroids on and off for 30 years. The Buteyko course I did in 2000 stopped my allergies and I haven’t taken medications since that time. I have helped thousands overcome their allergies and can help you do the same."
|
And for those that like to see the evidence: The Buteyko Method has been clinically shown to reduce the symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis by 70%. Read about the Limerick Hospital study here
If you would you like to put an end to allergies and hay fever once and for all, why not enrol in a course this March and take advantage of our old course prices before fees rise in April.
So, take charge of your health without delay and book yourself into one of our March courses. Phone Dawn on 09-360 6291 to book a place.

Ecostore media event
19 February 2014
I was invited to give a breakfast talk to media kindly organised and hosted by ecostore. The event was supposed to be a joint presentation by myself and the affable Malcolm Rands. As it turned out, yours truly got carried away leaving Malcolm mere minutes to tell us about the hazards of household airborne toxins and irritants in common household cleaning products and how they contribute to respiratory conditions.
The event was timed for the lead-up to World Asthma Day on 7th May. Malcolm was very good-natured about it and has promised to contribute an article on this subject for our next newsletter. Ecostore products are the best choice if you want to minimise exposure to toxic chemicals in your home. And throughout February they are offering 20% off all products.

Dr Vijay Murthy, B.Ayu Med & Surgery, M.Surgery, B.Nat, MPH
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.

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. Glenn presented the course so well that I can visualise what is happening as I breathe.
It certainly throws conventional asthma control on its head. I’ve told all my friends, including some in medicine, and family of all the positive effects.

Breathing retraining has transformed my health. The symptoms of asthma are gone and I no longer need to use inhalers. I would heartily recommend the Buteyko Course, as taught by Glenn, to anyone wanting a change from chronic asthma, dependence on inhalers, and fatigue resulting from poor sleep.

Asthma Achievers award
Wanna know how I got rid of asthma and allergies? |
Every year the Asthma Foundation of New Zealand seeks nominations for their annual Asthma Achievers awards. Awards go to adults, children and sportspeople who are managing their asthma with medication and who have excelled in some way despite their condition. These people are courageous and their stories are heart-warming but the common thread in all these stories is that asthma is something to live with and medication is for life. Sadly none of the Asthma Foundation achievers seem aware that there are alternatives to drugs and dust mite covers and this is never an option presented.
We think it’s time to get the message out that there is a drug-free way to manage asthma.
We are seeking submissions from past clients to create our own Asthma Achievers website. If you feel you have benefited from learning the Buteyko programme,please contact us on 09-360 6291.

You are also welcome to send us an account of your experience by email to info@buteykobreathing.co.nz. We would love to hear your story and it can be as wordy or as brief as you like. And please send us a photo of yourself :-)
