Every Breath you take by Dr. Paul Ameisen MD

Paul Ameisen has been a general medical practitioner for over 20 years both in the city and in the country. Having treated thousands of asthmatics with the latest techniques in asthma management, he was struck by two patients, a mother and daughter, who had made a dramatic recovery from asthma following a Buteyko treatment program. Dr. Ameisen's scientifc curiosity led him to investigate the Buteyko phenomenon. He now uses the method on his own patients, and has published this fascinating book on the Buteyko technique.

Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life by George Catlin.

George Catlin was a 19th Century adventurer and painter who travelled through the Americas studying the Native Indians. Originally a weak and unhealthy man, he was struck by the health and good looks of the Indians. He learned their secret.... they went to a lot of trouble to ensure that they and particularly their children always kept their mouths shut, especially at night when sleeping. He learned how to apply the principles to himself and was staggared by the upturn in his own health. Convinced that the unhealthy state of civilized man was due to their ignorance on the importance of nose-breathing, he set out on a crusade to try to reform the civilized world. This book is part of that crusade.

Catlin said at the end of his book: "If I had a million of dollars to give, to do the best charity I could with it, I would invest it in four millions of these little books and bequeath them to the mothers of the poor, and the rich, in all countries." I feel confident that George Catlin would be delighted to know his book is now available for free off the Buteyko web site.
