This Graphic shows Survival System Airway Inflammation Responding to Life Threat from Over breathing.

Why your Survival system automatically imposes airway inflammation to slow breathing to save you.

Shows Allergy Strangulation "Attacks" Reacting with Inflamed Airway.

key: % alongside bars, Carbon Dioxide(co2) shows % maintained in blood at different breathing rates and volume.

Your Automated Breathing System is turned on and off by Your carbon dioxide level, NOT Your Oxygen.

Normal turn on and off levels shown in top Auto breathing start - stop sample set point.

In contrast, an asthmatic automated breathing is turned off at too low a level. (see 4% turn off sample) Keeping your blood carbon dioxide at dangerously low levels, and prevents effective blood oxygen distribution to what has become starved cells.

It also puts your life in danger and your survival system inflames airways to slow breathing and further activates them to what you call an attack when your survival is in danger such as causing a heart attack with starved heart muscle etc so your body airway inflammation is stepped up with Additional mucus and you are said to having an asthma ATTACK.

You then seek medical attention which forces open your airways, expels additional carbon dioxide and your survival is further at stake.

The name of the game here is to retrain your auto breath system to tolerate and not turn breathing on until the normal, body designed for, carbon dioxide gets to 6%. or better.

Once there you should no longer have Asthma, You have figuratively speaking been cured, you should have no more attacks, no medication needed and with a little practice keep it programmed at that percentage.

The left column with CP seconds listing is for you to determine where your set point is currently. Take the Buteyko CP test or BUTEYKO CP Video, go here. Your Buteyko CP score will be expressed ln "seconds" you could retain. This measurement in "seconds" is your current CP score. Go to the CP chart, to find the spot and just go from there... on the left column matching your figures and determine what % your auto breath turn on is operating.

Retraining may take one month for each year you have asthma to become fully effective. Some changes and great improvements can usually be noted in days after start of exercises to reprogram.

You can take the CP test daily to see how you are progressing in raising your carbon dioxide level.

Keeping your carbon dioxide level above 5.5% gets you out of the asthma woods.

Avoid such low levels as shown in bottom example because any over breathing extra event, can put your body in survival danger and to prevent catastrophe, your survival system will then likely orchestrate an attack to stop further loss of carbon dioxide.

Your retraining goal is a CP of 60, which translates to 6% CO ² Your Blood Carbon Dioxide level needs to be in the 6% or better range for your body to deliver oxygen to all cells adequately, to maintain perfect health.
