Is High Velocity Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing Beneficial For Cancer Patients?

default
Posted on Mon, 27 Aug 2018
Question: I have written your doctors quite a few times in the past. I'll try to be brief. Four years ago I started a
high velocity deep diaphragmatic breath which puts about 15 times more oxygen into the blood. I have seen
unbelievable results such as no colds or flu for four years, cure of high cholesterol, Afib gone etc., etc.
I now have about 40 people doing this breathing. Two months ago I met a cancer patient who has/had
two breast tumours. Here are her results in 50 days taking chemo and doing my breathing routine:
-     81% reduction (42 sq. cm. to 8 sq. cm.) in tumours in 50 days – Oncologist quote “never seen this before”
-     Blood pressure of 177/110 reduced to 117/78 over same 50 day period
-     100% blood oxygen level - Nurse quote “never seen this before - usually 75 to 80% during chemo”
-     Almost without any pain and side effects for 50 days, even during initial 3 chemotherapies
-     Lost 9 lbs.                     - Return of strength to entire body
-     Blurry vision returned to crystal clear vision instantly on Dec. 8th.
-     Partial paralysis in jaw and mouth greatly improved instantly on Dec. 8th.
-     Anna’s Oncologist has suggested she take part in a research study.
-     Blood pressure - XXXXXXX 29th. stayed at 117/78 before and after chemo – nurse quote “usually goes up to 180”.
Would you please give me your comments.

Brief Answer:
I find that this method could be a possible future treatment option.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and I am seriously astonished by these improvements in the patient clinical situation.

Unfortunately, there are not enough research papers on this breathing method and its benefits.

I agree on the fact that deep breathing with diaphragmatic involvement may lead to more oxygen in the blood and thus less free oxidative radicals in the tissues.

This would also help improve the cells metabolism and also the immune system.

From the other hand, it is well known that breathing disorders (like sleep apnea) can seriously affect the individuals health, and lead to increased cardiovascular risk and also progression of the degenerative disorders.

In this regard, improving breathing and the oxygen supply to the tissues, including the brain and other organs would certainly help reduce the cardiovascular risk and also help stop the progression of these disorders (including cardiac or neurodegenerative disorders).

Yoga and meditation are known methods which are based on deep and regular breathing and their benefits on the human body have been well studied and confirmed.

Considering these improvements in the patient's situation, I would encourage you to discuss with her doctor and try this method in other cancer patients and make a real study on its effects and benefits.

Hope I have answered your query.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
