Testimonials from Former Asthma Sufferers

Reduced multiple medications, Saves Money and now hikes at high altitudes
"I'm moved to write about my experience with a new-to this country-treatment for asthma. Last October, my doctor suggested I try a short course of breathing exercises offered as yet in only a few places in the U.S., one being here in Seattle. He said it had been very helpful to several of his patients. The web site is KickAsthma.com, which seemed a brash claim to me, but I checked it out and took the course on his recommendation.

It is simple breathing exercises, nothing else, based on the premise that it's not that asthma causes hyperventilation, but that hyperventilation, i.e. breathing too much, causes asthma. The treatment was developed some 50 years ago, and is widely used in Russia, and now, also, in Australia, New Zealand and England.

Eight months later, I am off three quarters of my medications, which used to cost me $200-$300 a month. I expect to be off the last drug within a couple of months. Now I can visit my cat-loving friends, or laugh my way through a party, without wheezing for 24 hours. I'm going trekking in Nepal in November. After 66 years of severe, chronic asthma, this, to me, is a miracle-and it has cost me only the initial price of the course, and my time to do daily exercises." Sincerely, Pippa K. - Seattle, WA

Reduced need for asthma medications
"The breathing method I learned from Liv was truly a gift. It gave me new hope that I could actually take control of my asthma symptoms. The exercises give me a way to keep track of how I am doing, and control flare-ups if they occur. It has been 5 months since I completed the workshop, and I have not needed my rescue inhaler once. In the spring I usually have severe asthma, but this year I have had minimal symptoms. I'm working on reducing my preventer medication, and I know I will eventually be able to be completely free of both symptoms and medication. I recommend this method to anyone who suffers from asthma--it works!" MJ - Spokane, WA

Feel great, return to health
"My asthma was pretty much under control when I took the course, but I just couldn't get to the point where I felt really healthy. Running and exercising was always a struggle and I was feeling frustrated. After taking the course and consistently doing the breathing exercises I was able to run the Portland Marathon last year! Slow and steady was my mantra and it worked. I have also climbed Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Washington much to the amazement of my doctors." Laurie M - Portland, OR

I had a clean bill of health, but I didn't feel good
"I found out about Kick Asthma through the Internet. My story starts about five years ago, after a bad cold I found that I could not seem to catch my breath. After many tests I was given a clean bill of health. My doctor told me that I was hyperventilating and that I should breathe into a paper bag. Well that was five years ago and I never got my breathing under
control with a paper bag.

I also picked up a barrage of symptoms. I yawned a lot, I gasped for air sometimes, I felt like I had something in the back of my throat, I had stomach gas and I burped much more than normal, my back was stiff, I had tightness in my chest and I never felt as calm as I did before.

Well, when I discovered Kick Asthma, they had listed many of the same symptoms that I had. I became very interested and took their course. I have used their techniques and I have gained a remarkable difference in my life.
Once you understand a method that you can use to slow down your own breathing (hidden hyperventilation) you can help yourself get better. Without knowing what you are doing wrong it is hard to correct. Many of my symptoms have disappeared completely and others have been greatly reduced.

As I get better I am finding my life is much more like the life I used to have.

I am so thankful that I followed up with Kick Asthma and I spent the small amount of time to learn their techniques. My life has really changed, I was
almost ready to believe that there was no fix for my problem.

I really hope others with my problem will happen upon these techniques, as I consider myself very lucky that I found Kick Asthma.

Thanks again,

Mark F - Calgary, Alberta

End hospitalizations and stop attacks without medication

Sue sent the following on a thank you card.

"I was working in the garden this afternoon after finishing class today and realized that I was in trouble. I couldn't remember everything you'd taught me about stopping an asthma attack, but I simply allowed my body to stop my attack. I DID NOT NEED ANY MEDS!!! My husband is in awe! Normally an attack like this would send me to the emergency room."
Sue K. - Seattle

Two years later Sue has this to say about her experience...

"I have had chronic asthma since I was an infant. I would try a medication, and at first it would work. But, all of them would quit working after awhile.

Two years ago, my asthma was so bad that I was hospitalized about every five weeks, with really severe attacks. They almost had to intubate me. It was a very scary time. Now, looking back, my doctors say that they were very afraid that I was not going to make it.

One day, when I was at my doctor's office, the receptionist asked me if I had tried Kick Asthma.

Since I learned this method, I have not been hospitalized again!
I am a poster child for this approach! I am now in excellent health, and have not had a single attack. I now use a very low dose of Singular daily, but in the last two years, I have only used my inhaler once. I credit the breathing methods I learned for changing my life and giving me the health I now enjoy. It may have even saved my life."
