Konstantin Pavlovich Buteiko
Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko ( Russian Константин Павлович Бутейко , Ukrainian Kostiantyn Pawlowytsch Butejko , Kostyantyn Pawlowytsch Butejko even Buteyko transcribed; * 27. January 1923 in Iwaniza in Kiev , † 2. May 2003 in Moscow ) was a Russian physician.
Life
The Ukrainian- born scientist and practicing doctor developed a therapy for diseases of civilization such as asthma , allergies and blood pressure complaints , which works without medication and is widely used in Russia as the Buteyko method .
He suspected chronic hyperventilating as the basic cause of the symptoms mentioned . This makes the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood too low, which in turn has a negative effect on the metabolism.
From 1962 Buteiko worked as a laboratory manager in Novosibirsk in the Siberian branch of the USSR Academies for Medical Research at the Institute of Experimental Biology and Medicine. During this time he described a mechanism in the human body that counteracts the negative effect of overbreathing, while other functions and mechanisms of the body are "sacrificed". Without this mechanism, a person who breathes too much air would not survive longer than 10 minutes.
In the time that followed, he developed, among other things, a method that is based on breathing shallower and thereby returning to normal breathing. This method had great success in Russia.
In 1988 he founded the Buteyko Clinic in Moscow, one of the first private medical institutions in the former USSR.
