Teresa Hale will show you a new way to breathe. If you suffer from asthma or other severe respiratory diseases, this book could save your life.An astonishing number of Americans suffer from respiratory diseases and have been told that there is little they can do about them except mask the symptoms with drugs. However, these drugs often cause a very unhealthy dependency in their users and fail to really treat the condition.        Breathing Free reveals a five-day program that has revolutionized the treatment of asthma and respiratory illness internationally. Called the Breath Connection and taught at London's renowned Hale Clinic, it is based on the discovery of Professor Konstantin Buteyko and on more than forty-five years of practical and empirical research. Thus far, the Breath Connection has helped hundreds of thousands of sufferers alleviate the worst symptoms of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. At the heart of this program is the concept that some 200 diseases -- including asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis--are a result of dysfunctional breathing, or overbreathing. With black-and-white descriptive line drawings throughout the text, Breathing Free teaches a simple, natural technique that demonstrates to sufferers how they can retain their breathing patterns so as to prevent and overcome attacks, restore healthy sleep, and reduce medication by up to 60 percent. The cornerstone of the program is The Pause Control, a technique of holding the breath that restores the body's natural levels of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH. For those seeking improvement in their overall health, it also offers major benefits regarding stress, weight loss, and the heart.         This genuinely groundbreaking book is set to revolutionize treatment for the millions of people who suffer from asthma and other respiratory illnesses and thought there was little or no hope in sight.

This little book is intended to be a helpful, practical and useful guide to sleep apnea. Sleep apnea should be as familiar and as well known by the general public as common diseases, such as emphysema, Alzheimer's disease, and heart attack. Sleep apnea is much more common than you may think. Its manifestations are widespread. It affects routine everyday activity in many ways. Awareness is essential. This is because the disease is often insidious and may be present for many years before its existance is even suspected. If one does not know about the disease or about what effects it may have on human life, it will never be discovered or even thought of during its early stages. As you will see throught this book, sleep apnea can easily affect your life without you even knowing it. One of the primary purposes of this book is to increase awareness of sleep apnea. Over the years many hints about sleep apnea are dropped and ignored. If you are not aware of the possibility of subtle changes, how can you do something about it? The topic of sleep apnea is not just about a lung disease. It is actually about human life in general. This book presents a fairly detailed overall view of sleep apnea. It will be an eye-openning experience for all readers.

From Google Books: Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews - A slow death is probably what you want to call it,"" said an Anaconda aluminum worker after describing his symptoms of emphysema and chlorine gas poisoning. Scott's survey of the epidemic persistence of 19th century horrors in industry ranges from beryllium disease to loss of life and limb in mines and refineries -- owing to industry pressure, accidents are vastly under-counted and employers often deny that diseases are job related. Armed with such ineffectual auxiliaries as the Industrial Health Foundation, and coddled by certain labor unions, the industrialists sit in their air-conditioned offices calculating that workmen's compensation (a pittance) is cheaper than investment in safety measures. One aspect Scott herself merely notes is the way the bonus system and the 1970's speedup make workers ignore safety insofar as safety slows them up. This three-year Ford Foundation funded study -- relying more on interviews than tabulations -- ably sketches the size and the pain of the slaughter but unlike Emma Rothschild in Paradise Lost (1973), for example, Scott does not press for the contextual grasp of technological and financial developments (or non-developments) which would locate the investigation in something more than abstract profiteering. This remains a valuable contribution and a highly moving one.
