I wasn’t planning on a Blog article today, but couldn’t help it after seeing the news about Brittany Murphy’s cause of death. There is a young beautiful actress who had her whole life ahead of her and who suddenly died of pneumonia at the age of 32. A coroner’s official stated that prescription drugs also played a role.
The statistics says that the majority of flu deaths are actually due to quickly developed complications, like pneumonia. If your overall health is compromised because of a weakened immune system, you are more at risk.
What’s the best defense? I wrote in my earlier article “Viral respiratory infections. Are you protected?” that flu shots and anti viral medications are not always effective, and antibiotics are a double-edged sword. Every workshop I spend time with my students explaining how to deal with respiratory infections to minimize their impact on your health. The ultimate goal is, of course, to establish a healthy breathing pattern for life, the state where body naturally resists viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
In my practice I have seen people with different conditions. While going through the Butyeko therapy is somewhat individual experience, one thing is always true –
People with high Control Pause
• have significantly reduced number of viral respiratory infections (with CP close to 40 sec and over – virtually none)
• if they get a viral respiratory infection it is typically short lived and very mild
• they do not get complications like bronchitis, pneumonia, reactive airway disease etc
Flu and colds don’t have to ravage your body. Pneumonia and bronchitis are preventable, as well as Flu related deaths.
Significantly strengthened immune system is one of the most amazing benefits of the Butyeko Method.
