Handbook
This is a very informative and interesting book. I would recommend it for patients and care-takers.

The Best Book on COPD for Lay People
Having finally realized early in 2007 that I had COPD after two years of misdiagnoses, I started working my way through both the popularly written and medical literature in an effort to understand what was happening. This is, hands down, the single best book for a newbie to COPD. It lucidly and accurately covers the important medical data on the set of conditions (bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma) that together constitute COPD. There are other books worth having, but this is the one to start with. One does want to get the second edition, since quite a bit was learned about COPD in the decade between the two editions, for example, about the signficance, use, availability of, and third-party payment for, oxygen therapy for COPD patients.

An earlier reviewer has trashed the book as depressing and a downer for people with COPD. His review so attacked the book that it almost discouraged me from buying it. I probably would have skipped it, had I not been dedicated to buying just about everything that seemed as though it might be even remotely useful. I'm glad that I didn't follow his advice, for that's not how I read the book. Instead, I found it empowering. Understanding the disease (or more properly, diseases) and knowing exactly how each works strikes me as the sine qua non for adopting coping strategies. Many of the medical books I've gotten cover the same territory as the Haases in -- as one would expect - a much more thorough and technical manner. But none present the information so readably. In essence the Haases have distilled and abstracted most of the important information to be found in the more recondite medical texts.

One can employ numerous strategies to palliate the symptoms, to retard the disease's degenerative progression, to improve how one feels, most likely to extend one's lifetime, and -- unless one is at the most severe end of the disease -- to achieve a considerably improved quality of life. The (admittedly rather grisly) illustration of a "pink puffer" and a "blue bloater," which so distressed the disgruntled reviewer, let me know that I had the type of COPD in which bronchitis predominated (i.e., I'm a "blue bloater" but without the cyanosis, thank goodness). Useful to know (and subsequently confirmed by my physician), since the long-term course of bronchitis and emphysema are different. Puffers and bloaters also need to adopt different diets: the former (with emphysema dominant) lose weight, while bloaters tend to be overweight. The one needs to eat to gain wait, the other to lose weight. It may depress Disgruntled, but I found this useful to know -- and learned it all from the Haases.

The book has myriad useful tips. Many of these can be found elsewhere, but here they are all together in one handbook. To cite just a few: the importance and utility: of breathing exercises; of pulmonary rehabilitation therapy, which conditions one's muscles to require less oxygen; of techniques for dislodging mucous from the bronchii so that it can be expelled; of diet (emphasize anti-oxidants like fruits & vegetables, especially the fruits); of the right meds; of natural pharmacological agents that over a long term tend benignly to influence lung functioning (such as megadoses of Vitamins A, C, and E, a discussion of which probably is not in the first edition, since most of the studies have been done after 1990) and powerful nonprescription meds like Quercetin and N-acetyl-cysteine, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that, especially if taken together with Bromelain and Vitamin C eliminate many free oxygen radicals in the lungs and respiratory tissue; of the counterintuitive importance of exercise for patients who sometimes feel so fatigued that they can't get out of bed; of the organizations, newsletters, and support groups for COPD that exist; of the importance for many patients of using oxygen 24/7 (statistically it extends the lifetime of moderately to severely afflicted COPD patients by a year and a half: a good guess, though, is that oxygen therapy + diet + exercise + meds + not smoking again, ever, + avoiding situations likely to cause bronchial infections and irritation = the strong likelihood of a significantly longer and productive lifetime).

One will, then, learn from the Haas's book not only that one will probably die from the disease but also the many things that one can do before then to improve one's breathing and one's quality of life. So far as dying goes, I might add that I personally found it quite comforting to learn that my hitherto fantasied end of dying while gasping for breath -- is a fantasy. Most COPD patients will lapse into an irrecoverable coma when they reach the point where their lungs can't put enough oxygen into their blood stream even to maintain consciousness. Which is to say that we usually die painlessly in our sleep.

Which brings me to my last point, which neither the Haases nor anyone other than a handful of people working in the field discuss much, though one sees it often mentioned en passant: COPD can hinder one's ability to think. By diminishing the quantity of oxygen available for the frontal lobes to use, it can drastically reduce one's ability to think abstractly, to problem-solve. It also interferes with one's psychomotor skills (e.g., hand-eye coordination), but for most COPD patients that probably matters less. Pretty useful to know that you're not necessarily getting more stupid by the day, but instead that your brain is suffering from hypoxia (oxygen deprivation). Interestingly, the disease does not affect one's memory or language skills in the same way, which definitely suggests that the primary oxygen deficit is in the frontal lobes. [See Sean B. Rourke, Julie D. Rippeth, and Igor Grant "Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Hypoxemia and the Treatment Effects of Long-Term Oxygen Therapy" in Walter J. Odonohue, ed., Long-Term Oxygen Therapy: Scientific Basis and Clinical Application. Informa Healthcare, 1995 - available through Amazon.] This also means that dextro-methamphetamine (such as Adderall) can be useful for counteracting the diminished cognitive functioning by dint of increasing blood flow (and thus the quantity of oxygen) to the frontal lobes. So far as I have been able to ascertain, there is no experimental literature on this, despite the obvious logic of the hypothesis. Thus, not the Haases, nor the authors of the paper I cited, nor anyone else that I have read even suggests as a wild hypothesis that moderate doses of d-methamphetamine (10-30mg range, depending on the patient) might provide considerable relief for cognitive disturbances in COPD patients, especially those with bronchitis dominant, since d-meth automatically also works as an appetite suppressant. For that very reason, however, it might be dangerous for emphysema-dominant COPD patients, since they already tend to be underweight and suffering from malnutrition. So how might a bronchitis-dominant COPD patient get Adderall or a generic for it prescribed? One way would be also to get diagnosed for adult attention deficit disorder, the symptoms of which closely resemble those caused by frontal lobe hypoxia in adults.

One needs to know the kinds of things I've discussed when one talks to one's physician, so that together you can plan a feasible strategy for stabilizing the disease. The damage already done can't be reversed, but there is much one can do to slow the disease's progression to a crawl. One can't count on the docs knowing everything. The COPD patient her- or himself needs to know as much as possible about the disease. For the physicians, even pulmonologists, your disease is one of many that they need to treat. For you it is -- or should be -- the main thing you need to know about. So buy the Haas's book and start acquiring the necessary information. [Review slightly revised & updated 12/02/2009. So far as I know, though I haven't been scouting the lay literature recently, the book by the Haases remains the best book for lay people.]

This is the book you need to read...
My Dad has emphysema and I got him this book, which of course, being the hard head he is, he refused to read it. My Mom, however, read it through and through and it just so happens it saved my Dad's life on more than one occasions. If you have any kind of COPD problem this is a great book to learn how to cope. Don't be like my Dad and wait for someone to do it for you. Life short...this book may help you to make it much longer and much easier to deal with if you are suffering with this disease or you know or love someone who is. My Dad just had his 73rd birthday. He is on oxygen 24/7. He play golf everyday. Before this book...he was a couch potato. My hearts and prayers are with all of you out there dealing with this. I hope this book helps you like it has helped my family.

Makes You Want to Shoot Yourself!
I absolutely found this book repugnant. The illustractions are frightening and grim. In fact Figure 3.1 a wicked line drawing of a "pink puffer and a blue bloater" looks like a dark ages depiction of hell. Everyone with COPD knows we are going to die and that we are going to die younger than our cohorts. At fifty-five and having been diagnosed at forty, this book temporarily robbed me of any hope to lead an even worthwhile life. This was all compounded by the once again grotesque illustrations by Kenneth Axen. Far better and more hopeful is the "Courage" book that offers a story of hope, dignity, and the ability to cope. As a licensed psychotherapist I actually think the "Handbook" could be psychologically damaging to some patients. Since depression and anxiety go hand in hand with COPD, the "in your face" approach to this book is best to be avoided

The Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema Handbook
This handbook is a Godsend. Every website I went to gave mostly explanations of what COPD is. Those of us who suffer with COPD usually know what it is. This book is like a "COPD For Dummy's". It gives information on an enormous amount of topics in plain lay English. I can't thank the authors enough for this important tool. ... Read more

MAKE THE BREATH CONNECTION -- AND SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE

Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who suffer from asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, or other respiratory ailments? Far too often, people with these illnesses are prescribed medications that only mask symptoms, instead of really treating the underlying condition. If you are among this group, it's time for you to escape this prison and start Breathing Free.

Teresa Hale, founder of the world-renowned Hale Clinic, has created a groundbreaking treatment that can dramatically change the lives of anyone who feels the crippling affect these illnesses can have on their daily lives, in as little as five days. Called the Breath Connection, this revolutionary program is based on more than forty-five years of empirical research, as well as the Buteyko method, which focuses on dysfunctional breathing, or overbreathing, as the cause of more than 200 respiratory diseases.

Breathing Free is complete with line drawings and clear instructions on how to use these simple methods to reestablish normal breathing patterns to prevent and overcome attacks, restore healthy and restful sleep, and reduce the need for medication by up to 60 percent. For the many people who have lived with the struggle of breathing problems, Breathing Free provides hope for relief, better health, and a better life.Amazon.com Review
Asthma kills 6,000 people a year. Respiratory illnesses affectmillions more. According to Teresa Hale, asthmatics and others withrespiratory illnesses are breathing wrong. "We have been led tobelieve that deep breathing is good for us because it increases ouroxygen intake. In fact, the reverse is true. The more we breathe, theless oxygen actually reaches the cells of our bodies," says Hale inBreathing Free: The Revolutionary 5-Day Program to Heal Asthma,Emphysema, Bronchitis, and Other Respiratory Ailments. Herbreathing program, Breath Connection, teaches you to change yourbreathing patterns so that you won't need to wheeze, breathe heavily,or take gulps of air after exertion. Hale promises that five days onthis program will reduce your need for medications, and regularpractice often increases metabolism and leads to weight loss.

Breathing Free gives a self-test to assess your breathing andteaches several techniques to improve it. Hale explains how to adaptthe program for mild, moderate, or severe asthma; emphysema;bronchitis; panic attacks; general health; and children withasthma. She also suggests dietary guidelines.

Hale's program isbased on the work of Konstantin Buteyko of the former Soviet Union. Itis easy to understand, but will take time and effort to master. ButHale says you have a choice: "Stay where you are, with your daydreamsand your deteriorating health, or take control and make some effort toeffect permanent change." Hale founded Britain's renowned Hale Clinic,whose clients have included Princess Diana, the Duchess of York, TinaTurner, Richard Gere, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. --Joan Price ... Read more

Headache relief with understanding
Debilitating headaches and nothing I could do!...until I picked up the book Breathing Free by Teresa Hale of London's Hale Clinic.I wasn't even reading it for myself ... I am not asthmatic; my cardiovascular system is involved.This book thoroughly explains my dilemma and walks me through a solution (the Buteyko Breathing Technique).What's more, I've gone from a CP of 10 to 30 in a short time.I'll have trouble till the culprit ozone (ethanol gas, some air purifiers, etc) is removed from our airspace but my live has been greatly eased.I have never read a more helpful book; thank you Teresa Hale!sl

PS I'm on my third reading :-)

'Breathing Free' by Teresa Hale
This book teaches the reader to use the basics of the Buyteko breathing method to aleviate allergy and asthma symptoms.I already had an understanding of this approach, so implementing the breathing exercises was not difficult.As promised on the cover, I did experience a dramatic change, not in the asthma, but in the allergies.After the first day, my sinus problems cleared up considerably.For the first time in years, I can breath without mucus obstruction.I have tapered off two allergy medicines already.In fact, I did not know I had so many sinus issues until I did the breathing sets in the book.My lack of improvement in the asthma was not the book's fault.I had been for two years a nose breather and was taping my mouth at night to prevent mouth breathing.This immediately decreases asthma symptoms because the body is expelling less carbon dioxide, a necessary element for good health.However, unless this is accompanied by additional Buyteko exercies, the asthma will eventually worsen again, as mine did.If you are serious about pursuing Buyteko, read this book and find a qualified practitioner who teaches breath holds (also known as "pauses" in the Buyteko world.)Although the reduced breathing or relaxed breathing works for some people, it was not sufficient for me.A slightly more aggressive approach actually speeds along the recovery from asthma.After finding a competent Buyteko teacher at "[...]", the asthma symptoms are gradually subsiding.This book is defintely a good step toward controlling lung issues.

Breathing free
I read this book then recommended to my spouse and daughter who both have breathing problems.My daughter with asthma and spouse with COPD and emphasyma.

They took the reading serious and have been practising the exercises.


The service from Amazon was terrific, came before the time table which was nice.

Thanks for the book.

Asthma Control Technique
This is an outstanding book!I have been having some asthma symptoms, adult onset, and it was frightening to say the least.With this material I learned a different way of breathing, I learned the connection between panic and anxiety and asthma so as to be less frightened, and I simply feel better.I think everybody should read this, and not just those with asthma or emphysema.I didn't realize that the body won't die from an asthma attack unless medications are being used which alter the body's response to asthma.That fact in itself took a lot of fear out of my breathing difficulties, thus helping me to breathe easier.

This book has the actual exercises, some do not
This book has the actual Buteyko exercises, whereas some of the books that talk about the Buteyko method, just tease you and never get around to giving you the exercises (Freedom from Asthma).It also has little pictures and charts to help you be more self-disciplined with the program.I do not know if it works yet, as I've barely started and have severe asthma. I'll write again later. ... Read more

Helpful Reference Book
Recently I was diagnosed with mild COPD, so want to learn as much as possible about it.This book, written in an easily understood style, thoroughly covers most of the questions I've had about the illness. I found the chapter on medications especially informative.This book has proven to be a valuable reference for me.

Copd information
This is a really good book, i bought this for my sister who was diagnosed with copd. Very easy to read and to understand. I read the entire book also so i could better understand the disease. Would recommend this to anyone who is suffering from copd or who has a loved one who is suffering. Nikki stewart

PRACTICAL COMMON-SENSE ON LIVING WITH COPD
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

To all who contributed to this fine book, my undying gratitude!

When first diagnosed with COPD, all I wanted to do was research, research, research!The more I read, the more frustrated I became - that is until I located Courage and Information.This book is so down-to-earth!And it is filled with prospectives of not only a physician (with no medical "jargon"), a psychiatrist (without all the normal "stuff") and...can you believe it?...A PATIENT.How unusual to find a book written, at least in part, from the patient's prospective.What a great idea! Like I said earlier, just good, practical, common-sense information.

Even my pulmonologist agrees that it is the best resource material he has seen!And as far as I'm concerned, that's the best recommendation of all!

It really WILL help me to live a better, more fulfilling life.It will help you too.But you've got to read it first.You'll be glad you did.

I KNOW I AM.

Helping You Find the Way
If you or someone you love has been given the diagnosis of COPD, you may be asking, What now? Is there anything that can be done? Is there hope? The answer is, Yes! Life can be good with COPD and this book is a most valuableresource for the COPD patient, caregiver, and health care professional.

As a respiratory therapist working in Pulmonary Rehab I see thatpatients who learn about their disease and how to cope with the changes itbrings live healthier, happier lives. They know that education, exercise,and support as well as a positive attitude are so important.

Courage andInformation for Life with COPD is not only your map to learning, amongother things, about finding a great specialist, taking breathingmedications, using supplemental oxygen if needed, and finding help andsupport in your community.It is the story of a lady who has experiencedthe devastation of the diagnosis and not only lives, but thrives with COPD!Jo-Von Tucker's search for knowledge has helped her to move from the roleof patient / victim to that of person / survivor. You must know that youdo not have to face COPD alone!When reading Courage and Information youwill surely say, That's me.Jo-Von's been through some of the same thingsthat I'm going through.

There are so many things you can do to helpyourself.Changed as it may be, you can live a rich and full life, evenwith COPD. Courage and Information willl help you find the way. ... Read more

What a pleasure to read and breathe better
I had the good fortune to study with Dr. Bernard Jensen in 1980. He introduced natural cures used along with iridology, the study of the eyes for diagnosis. His careful concern for his patients, his delightful personality and wealth of information on natural treatments including foods, herbs, and exercise can be found in all his books.

He himself lived to his mid 90s in good health and with a positive, optimistic healing message: protect your health with God's natural treasures.

Breathe Again Naturally is easy to read and apply to daily life. The information about clearing toxins and catarrh from the body is vital now more than ever in our time of pollution,flu, SARS, asthma, and people who smoke.

Fantastic Book! It has been my guide back to health.
This book has helped me tremendously with my lifelong problem with asthma and allergies. My copy is well worn from the many times I have desperately searched and reasearched it when I have been very sick. It is a book of much common sense, humor, and integrity. The author himself suffered from aterrible lung disease in his youth , and this helps him to write withinsight, understanding and compassion. He writes that asthma is a mucusproblem, and stongly suggests and list foods to eliminate from the dietthat aggravate this condition. He also says that often asthmatic peoplehave acidic bodies and need alkaline foods. Dr. Jensen places greatemphasis on mental attitude in helping to overcome asthma, as it is oftenaggravated by stress. There are some great case histories in the back ofthe book, so you will not feel alone with your problems. Jensen also givesexercise suggestions which are tailored for those with varying physicalcapacities. Jensen lists many good herbs to make tea from that arebeneficial for asthma, bronchitis, and colds. I highly recommend thisheartfelt and inexpensive book to anyone who has these problems. ... Read more
