Chronic Sinusitis - Asthma Fighters Blog

I did not coin the term “Great Resignation” but I believe that I just invented the expression the “Great Hyperventilation”.

I’m sure you have heard in the news about a great social shift we are currently undergoing: people are resigning from their jobs or actively searching for opportunities with great work-life balance. For many people this translates into wanting to work from home while others hope to have a hybrid work schedule. Some people have even admitted that they will take a lower paying job if they could work remotely.

What does this tell us? It demonstrates that people have been stressed for a long time as they have found it to be very hard to spend all the day at the office and then come home to take care of their family.

My friend once told me that by the end of the day, when her children are already in bed, she is so tired that she is not even coherent. This friend was allowed to work remotely when the pandemic started, however she...

Breathing exercises and various breathing methods have gained a lot of attention and popularity recently.

There are a lot of people who give advice to others on how to breathe, but few have received any formal training. I see a dangerous trend in their recommendations, and that is to take a deep breath.

In 1952 Dr. K. Buteyko discovered the disease of deep breathing (hyperventilation). Hyperventilation is the main cause of many modern diseases: Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis, Anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Insomnia, and Snoring.

Dr. K. Buteyko liked to repeat: "You can't play with breathing, it is powerful and dangerous. Breathing can be compared to the Nuclear Energy".

Who is your breathing guru?

Did you know that if people with asthma would attempt to take deep breaths over a period of time they could end up with an asthma attack?

How many "gurus" have advised to take deep breaths only to send people to the ER? I don't have the statistics and I am afraid to find out.

Before I was...

June is Men’s Health Month, where we encourage men and boys to lead healthy lifestyles, take care of themselves, and make health one of their priorities.

Many men and their families concentrate on healthy eating and exercising. There are lot of runners, weight lifters, treadmill enthusiasts, and bicycle devotees out there. At the same time, unfortunately, there are a lot of men who exercise while breathing through their mouth and a lot of people who advocate for rigorous exercising at any cost.

A year ago, my husband met with a local gym’s personal training coach who wanted to show what he can do for my husband.  My husband was lifting weights while the trainer motivated him to do more. When my husband was out of breath and had switched to mouth breathing the trainer kept on chanting “you can do it, do it, you are strong, don’t stop”.  

My husband did not want to ruin his reputation and he tried to keep up with the trainer’s requests. At...

Yesterday, many people were watching with excitement when SpaceX sent NASA astronauts into space on the Falcon 9 rocket. At that time, I thought it was very odd that we are able to send men into space, but when it comes to chronic sinusitis, people who are suffering from this humiliating and exhausting disease don’t have a good explanation as to why this happened to them.

What few people realize is that a renowned Russian physiologist, Prof. Konstantin Buteyko (MD/PhD), made a colossal discovery in 1952 regarding the causes of Sinusitis and other major modern prevailing diseases (such as asthma, bronchial disorders, hay fever, nasal congestion, snoring, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, and many others).

According to Prof. K. Buteyko, there is only one cause of all these diseases, and it is called hyperventilation or deep breathing. He concluded that the elimination of hyperventilation or breathing normalization would treat all of these...

I was talking to a friend recently and she told me that she has been using saline nasal rinses as a preventive measure for COVID-19 as she is in the high risk group as somebody who suffers from chronic sinusitis.

During our conversation she revealed that she used tap water to wash her nose. I had to share with her that it is not safe as there have been cases of people dying from brain-eating amoeba after rinsing their nose with tap water.

Safety tips for Nasal Rinses from Restore Your Breathing:

1. Never use Tap Water.
2. Use cooled, boiled water (boiled for about 5 minutes) or distilled water.
3. Don’t use any additives, such as bleach, as they will irritate your nose.
4. If you use tap water to clean your pot/bottle make sure that it is fully dry and no droplets of tap water remain before using again. Alternatively, you can always clean your pot/bottle with just boiled or distilled water.

Masks, gloves, and disinfecting sprays are the most wanted items during the virus pandemic besides food. It is engraved in us that in order to stay alive we need to wear masks, gloves, and practice social distancing.

Some holistic doctors advise us to eat nutrient based food and take care of our emotional well-being to stay healthy. Health experts advocate to use vitamins and supplements to enhance our immune system. My friends from Eastern Europe witnessed the price of ginger skyrocket as some health coaches were praising this miracle root for restoring the immune system.

During this difficult time everyone is trying to be a little bit healthier. I know that people with chronic conditions such as sinusitis and asthma are especially terrified to encounter COVID-19.

What if you knew that a renowned doctor K. Buteyko left a gift for all of mankind and you could have it?

In 1952 Professor K. Buteyko discovered the so called “disease of deep breathing” which has the...

Stress is one of the major highlights of modern life. We are chronically stressed and it affects our physical and mental health. There are many educational resources that provide techniques that are supposed to counter the negative effects of stress.  Besides regular exercising, health promoting diet, and quality sleep, I see the same advice dominating in many sources. According to this advice we need to take deep breaths as a relaxation technique to combat stress. In fact, the idea that deep breathing is good for us has penetrated all the levels of societal institutes. We were conditioned to breathe deeply in our fitness centers, by our friends, and coworkers. We see people breathing deeply in movies in an attempt to calm down. 

We think that deep breathing is healthy and promotes wellness. However, contrary to popular belief, deep breathing is extremely detrimental to your health and will cause many health issues. For instance, in people who are prone to sinusitis, deep...
