I did respond to this don't see it. Its more for asthmatics than ppl with copd cause of retaining and co2
Here is what Mark Mangus had posted on the that.
Keep in mind that Buteyko holds to the premise that we suffer from "lack
of sufficient CO2 in our body", this being the basis of their
hyperventilation theories and causes of "ASTHMA". Following Buteyko if
your COPD is severe - - - especially if you retain CO2 can be seriously
injurious (though I won't go so far as to say deadly, without
conditions) to ANYONE who retains CO2. CO2-retainers DO NOT
HYPERVENTILATE! So, where anything to do with Buteyko is concerned, do
not use it without FIRST consulting with your doctor to determine if it
is safe for you to use.*****
