Hyperventilation

Have you thought about breathing too much oxygen? Negative effect of hyperventilation on blood viscosity and blood-tissue gas-exchange was discovered in 1904 by Bohr (Bohr Effect). Russian clinical physiologist and scientist K.P.Buteyko was the first MD who in the 1950s openly declared that luck of carbon dioxide in the system caused by hyperventilation is the main reason for the most illnesses and untimely death. By breathing too much we are clearing our system from Carbon Dioxide (with each breath out we are discharging about 6% CO2 but in the air we breathe in there is only 0.03% CO2). Carbon Dioxide is not "just a waste gas", a certain quantity of Carbon Dioxide (5-7%) in alveoli/arterial blood is vital for transport and release the oxygen by hemoglobin to the tissues and organs. Carbon Dioxide does also dilate blood vessels and airways by relaxing smooth muscles. So, it sounds paradoxically but true, to oxygenate tissues and organs, one has to breathe less.

What means too much breathing? It is breathing too fast and too deep and through the mouth instead of the nose. Hypothetically, the oxygen-rich environment is responsible for extensive loss of neurons in the brain (70%) and sudden drop of erythrocyte count right after birth in infants. "Carbon Dioxide is, in fact, a more fundamental component of living matter than Oxygen."-citation of Yandell Henderson* from the book "Normal Breathing -the key to Vital health" by Artour Rakhimov (www.NormalBreathing.com)

(*Yandell Henderson is an American scientist who made important contributions to cardiorespiratory physiology over a broad area with a particular emphasis on practical applications such as resuscitation, air pollution, mine safety, and aviation medicine. Although his initial training was in biochemistry, he early turned to cardiovascular physiology, including the output of the heart, venous return, and shock.)

Breathing with Frolov's training device is based on principals of Buteyko method (hypoxia and hypercapnia) however can achieve even more [healthy benefits] for less time. The physiological factors that are modulated during breathing with Frolovs:

  • mild hypoxia that stimulate brain breathing center to adapt and develop oxygenating properties of the blood;
  • hypercapnia -mild increase of carbon dioxide in the system, that also stimulate the breathing center provide more optimized and efficient cell oxygenation;
  • controlled diaphragmal breathing -the diaphragm is the main breathing muscle and plays a major role in lymphatic circulation;
  • trained resistance of lungs to sustain negative /positive pressure- resistance on inhale/exhale;
  • trained decrease of frequency and depth of breathing

Also engineering simplicity of device allows using it in home environment, while compact design is convenient while traveling. It also equipped for aromatherapy inhalation. The minimum time of training exercises required for efficient results is 25-30 min a day between 9pm-11pm before bedtime. Depending on personal goals and needs the training could be complete in 3-6 months. 150 ml breathing chamber to breathe through is used to recycle systemic carbon dioxide, to regulate the pressure by using less or more water. By voluntary regulating breathing out time, and, in advanced training, by sustained breath hold after exhalation and then after inhalation we train our body to breathe less however more efficient and healthy. Breathings training with Frovov's is unique opportunity to optimize cellular metabolism, to get rid of biochemical imbalances, to eliminate lots of chronic and/or acute physical or psychological diseases and conditions, to rejuvenate and strengthen your body, to become more energized ,young and healthy. For inquisitive people more information on breathing techniques with Frolov's device could be read in the book of academician and scientist Zinatulin S.N. MD- clinical doctor who worked with K.P Buteyko, then later with V.F.Frolov developing and improving device based on clinical research. Personal experience and 17 years of clinical research on using Frovlov's device in treating diseases and pathologies as well as using device in rehabilitation and preventive medicine will provide deep understanding of the effect of healthy breathing. Zinatulin S.N is currently leading MD in Dinamica Company Ltd., that manufactures Frolov's breathing training device.

Frolov's Breathing Device is breaking through scientific discovery that treats and prevent illnesses without drugs, strengthens immune system, regulates cardio-respiratory system, balances endocrinal system, rejuvenates whole organism using just natural life sustaining tendencies of living body.
