Breathe Jimbo wrote:The bottom line is that a sleep study is required to know whether Buteyko can change breathing while asleep so that CPAP becomes unnecessary. Even the presenter in the video says not to stop using CPAP until the elimination of apneas is confirmed by "observed breathing" during sleep. The only reliable "observed breathing" is a sleep study. Further discussion is pointless without confirmation by a sleep study.

What about a bed partner waking up and making some noise?

To say that anyone who can't sleep through an entire night, must have sleep apnea, to me is rediculous!

Can you go through 4 hours without having to drink some water or to pee? Good for you. I can't.

which, of course, proves nothing, either way.

G'day Jimbo - not being up on oximeters myself why would Mars ask me to use one for results to prove something if it was just a waste of time to begin with anyway.

Have a great day I know I will - Chopper.

Breathing alone is not the issue, the dip in the O2 levels is the issue. Even without a sleep study you can buy an oxymeter and test just how your oxygen is doing, you could even borrow/ rent one. Personally I couldn't care less about observed breathing, the O2 levels are what is important, that is what damages the organs, especially things like the brains ability to be logical and evaluate situations. And as a programmer/ analyst I have no problems doing that now that I am using cpap consistently, just in case you are planning to comment that way, researching solutions to problems and evaulating them is one of the functions of my job.

Admit it, this is an ad. By you NOT wanting another sleep study, you can not offer any evidence that it works. All we have is your word that it does. Sounds like snake oil to me.

G'day allen476 -

Please see my previous posts regarding another sleep study in the not too distant future - if they will let me do the sleep study with my mouth taped SHUT I am all for it {Perhaps you could shed some light on that question being a sleep tech and all}- but right now I am only in the early phase of my Butekyo treatment {11 days} which if you read my all my previous posts you will see how happy I am about my progress at finally being able to sleep at night with plenty of REM - Dreams - and no choking, gasping or waking up 30 times a night getting only 2 to 3 hours light sleep a night which was me and had been me for a very long time only 10 days ago.

Once again this is not an AD - PLEASE READ --- MY PREVIOUS POST ---

I will repeat myself as I have said this many times already in my previous posts - the Buteyko course I just completed 4 days ago in Australia came with a 100% money back Guarantee if the person did not respond to the training - they are entitled to their money back no questions asked - so where pray tell 'IS THERE MONEY AT STAKE'

Their is another Australian gentleman on this forum {please excuse me for not remembering your name at present} who having read my posts said he would investigate further and maybe try the Buteyko method out - If he does go ahead with the 5 day course he will be offered a 100% money back guarantee I hope the gentleman in question will post back here to CONFIRM THIS FACT!

The gentleman in question lives in Brisbane Australia - the same place I just completed the 5 day Buteyko course if the gentleman does the course he will have the same teacher as me Brian Firth and Brian himself will confirm to this gentleman if he asks him that YES a man by the name of bi - polar mark did indeed complete the course with him the month of September 2010.

I do not work for any company or have any affiliation what so ever with Buteyko apart from being a recent graduate of their 5-day course.

Once again - 'WHERE IS THERE MONEY AT STAKE' - THERE IS NONE AND THAT 'FACT' IS QUITE OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day I know I will - Chopper.

p.s.

There are Butekyo clinics in many parts of the world but they will touch the potential $$$$ in cpap and accessories sales per year – so relax you will never be out of a job as a sleep tech.

but right now I am only in the early phase of my Butekyo treatment {11 days}

which was me and had been me for a very long time only 10 days ago.

the Buteyko course I just completed 4 days ago

If he does go ahead with the 5 day course

Hmm, Didn't say I was a sleep tech. All I did was point out the glaring omission from your facts. That you don't have any proof (medically) that this works. To me that is the same as snake oil. All we have is your word that it works. I will concede maybe a month before having a new sleep study. As far as taping, many clinics will let you tape now. Heck even in the sticks here, I could tape when I had my re-titration done.

And you still didn't answer my question, Will they refund the $4000 ($3200 in airfare, $800 in hotels) along with the course cost if this doesn't work for me?

I didn't think so............

So for that $4000, I can buy (out of pocket mind you) a new Bi-Pap at $1500 (approx.) and then I still have $2500 left over to buy masks, filters, tubing, and anything else that I might need. Now since I have insurance, I won't come near $4000 in my lifetime in spending on XPAP supplies.

And don't rehash the same response. You aren't answering the questions.

Now to poke a hole in your math......

but right now I am only in the early phase of my Butekyo treatment {11 days}

which was me and had been me for a very long time only 10 days ago.

the Buteyko course I just completed 4 days ago

If he does go ahead with the 5 day course

Ok, So 11 days of therapy. But only 10 days before you were gasping and choking while asleep. But you completed the 5 day course only 4 days ago.

Your math isn't adding up. That would mean that you have had 2 days of therapy BEFORE you took the course. Hence another reason I believe this is an ad.
