asthma. The principle behind Buteyko breathing is to break
the cycle of hyperventilation which leads to fall in carbon
dioxide levels in blood which in turn leads to airway

Impact of Chlorinated Swimming Pool Attendance on the
Respiratory Health of Adolescents |
|
|
(Pediatrics, September 2009) (Format HTML) |
|
|

article says, yes, especially in adolescents who already
have allergies to begin with. Chlorine exposure seems to
have an adjuvant effect on allergies that leads to worsening
of asthma. This has not been the case in patients without
allergies. Study weaknesses include the diagnosis of allergy
based on serum total and specific IgEs in the absence of
directed medical history, physical exam or allergy skin
testing. |
