…Prior to the course Mary was taking 2,3 or 4 puffs per hour of ventoline for the last

2 months, that is 50-100

puffs a day. On the fifth day

of the course Mary was down to one puff a day and for the

first time in 2 months was sleeping five hours of solid, restful sleep

Buteyko exercises each

day, I don’t need any Ventolin. All the other breathing exercises

that 1 learned and taught for years previously, the diaphragmatic and deep breathing now seem a complete waste of time…”

The United Kingdom Parliament – Buteyko – 25 Jun 2002 : Column 851 Mrs. Campbell: Everyone in the House probably knows someone who is badly affected by asthma.

House of Commons

Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.—[Mr. Jim Murphy.]

25 Jun 2002 : Column 851

Mrs. Anne Campbell MP (Cambridge): I am grateful for the opportunity to talk about this important subject—[Interruption.]

Mr. Speaker: Order. There is an Adjournment debate taking place. Would hon. Members leave the Chamber quietly?

25 Jun 2002 : Column 853

Mrs. Campbell MP (Cambridge): …As someone who has suffered from asthma for 40 years and whose condition would have been previously described as moderate, I have given the Buteyko technique a try myself. I started with a home education pack, as described on the website, www.buteyko.co.nz. Even self-teaching is effective, as by day five I had reduced the number of times I took my reliever medication from four or five times a day to very occasional use. Later I went on a course run by a qualified Buteyko practitioner. As I continued, I discovered to my delight that the asthma symptoms were rapidly reduced. I sleep better and have more energy than I can ever remember.

What I really regret is that no one told me about the method before. This year I have not suffered from any hay fever, except for a very occasional sneeze, and I wish that someone had told me about the technique some time ago. Alone, I could have saved the national health service hundreds of pounds’ worth of medication and myself a lot of needless discomfort…
