Buteyko: Escape from Asthma

The intention of this booklet is to provide patients with a basic introduction to the theory behind Buteyko therapy, so that they understand enough to want to learn more. It was intended to be distributed from information kiosks at flea markets and in shopping malls.

This is a 16 page richly illustrated colour booklet in A6 size and PDF format. You will need Adobe ACROBAT to read it. It takes up 680 kBytes, so it will take a minute or two to download.

Buteyko: Guide for Doctors:

This is an introduction to Buteyko for doctors. It was designed to explain the rationale behind the therapy.

The booklet is laid out in A4 size and should be suitable for modern photocopiers that produce A6 booklets from loose leaf A4 sheets. It is in PDF format and requires Adobe ACROBAT to read it. It is in bl/white only and there are no illustrations.

Please mail suggestions for improving this booklet to Peter Kolb.
