Question from Mor
Hi Debra,
I am looking for a breathing device like a frolov unit, the expand- a-lung, the powerlung, or the Ultrabreathe.
All the units that I’ve found seem to be made of plastic, usually cheap, sometimes described as having “a plastic odor that seems to never go away”.
Is there any breathing device for exercising the lungs that is non-toxic? Or at least tubings and parts which I can try to us to assemble such a unit? Or maybe a unit that is made of medical PVC can be much less irritating and worth trying?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t have any experience with these devices, but I took a look at the description and I am wondering if the same benefit can be achieved without the device?
I’ve actually done a lot of research on breathing in the past so I know there are many breathing exercises that can be done without devices. I used to study singing, so I know a lot about breathing.
I don’t know your specific situation so I don’t know if this will work for you. My suggestion would be to search the internet for breathing exercises you can do without a device that would accomplish the same benefit.
Readers, anyone have any experience using this type of device or any suggestions for this?
I have heard of the Buteyko method but have not researched it. but it might be worth your while to do so.
I do not know what your situation is…but I have done different breathing techniques. I have multiple chemical sensitivity. I have recently taken a workshop of the Wim How Method. You can find courses on his website if you cannot find a certified teacher. I feel that this is still the beginning stages and along with boosting your immune system is an anti ager. Breathing is such a fundamentally foundation and most of us are shallow breathers at best. Experiment and see what works for you.
