Little Known in the US Natural Asthma Treatment is Available in Minnesota

Surprisingly effective drug free asthma therapy called the Buteyko Method has been practiced around the world for decades and only now is making its way into the United States. Minnesota is one of the few US states to offer a Buteyko Course with a qualified Practitioner.

Minneapolis, MN, March 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- There is a way out of inhalers, breathlessness and lifestyle limitations for estimated 23 millions of American asthmatics (Summary Health Statistics for U.S. Adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2006, Tables 3 and 4. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_10/sr10_232.pdf). In this economy the lost jobs, rising health care and inhaler costs make it more difficult than ever to follow a continuous drug regiment typical for chronic asthmatics. For many failure to stay on preventive steroid drugs could result in life threatening asthma episodes. For others, years of daily medication use might lead to damaging side effects. A complimentary treatment called the Buteyko Method claims that no matter what type or severity your asthma is, you can get a significant relief and reduce or eliminate your drug intake.

Asthma in Minnesota

According to Minnesota Department of Health, asthma is the leading serious chronic illness among children in the United States, and among the top 10 emergency department diagnoses for children in the Twin Cities. In Minnesota, more than 79,000 children – one in 15 – have asthma.

One in 10 Minnesota adults age 18 and older report that they have been diagnosed with asthma at some point in their lives. 7% of Minnesota adults (nearly 350,000 people) report that they currently have asthma.

Safe, virtually no cost therapy
The Buteyko Method is safe for any age and disease severity, and does not include the use of any drugs, supplements or devices. There are no costs involved except the educational workshop fee, which averages around the cost of just one month supply of commonly prescribed in the US preventive inhalers. Considering that most moderate to severe asthmatics should continuously use inhalers for months and years, there is little doubt the Buteyko therapy could significantly reduce costs for patients, medical insurance providers and save taxpayers’ money directed at Government subsidized Healthcare.
