Cancer and Tissue Oxygenation – How Should We Breathe For Maximum Oxygenation?
Appearance, development and metastasis of tumours are based on tissue hypoxia. They are cries of the organism for more oxygen. Is it possible that our abnormal breathing can influence the internal breathing (gas exchange) and oxygenation of all body cells, tumours included? How? Normal breathing is light, easy, invisible (no chest or belly movements) and inaudible (no panting, no wheezing, no sighing, no yawning, no sneezing, no coughing, no deep inhalations or exhalations). The mouth is closed. How to measure oxygenation? Use the breath-holding time test. Sit down and rest for 5-7 minutes. Completely relax all your muscles, including the breathing muscles. This relaxation produces natural spontaneous exhalation (breathing out). Hold your nose at the end of this exhalation and count your BHT (breath holding time) or CP (control pause) in seconds. Keep the nose pinched until you experience the first desire to breathe. This desire is involuntary and manifested either in swallowing moveme
