Ruin and Resurrection

Chapter 1

The hook and the noose: second thoughts

Chapter 2

How the Leningrad Institute ‘assisted’ Dr Buteyko at the clinical trials of the Elimination of Deep Breathing Method.

Chapter 3

Buteyko is ‘signed up’ with a hypnotist.

Chapter 4

Who’s winning? Gypsy Plys finds it a doddle: the technique can be mastered in hall and changing room.

Chapter 5

Combating night-time attacks. The grim vigils of Wilma Goncharova.

Chapter 6

Academician Rebrov asks Buteyko to plough the trials. Media to the rescue. Patients are intimidated and laboratory results continue to be distorted.

Chapter 7

The clinical trials’ closing conference and an unsuccessful attempt to buy off Buteyko. The thunderstorm approaches…

Chapter 8

The findings of the clinical trials are inaccessible through official channels. Academician Rebrov’s double game.



Chapter 9

Negative inferences from the commission’s positive conclusion. Back home to Novosibirsk and utter havoc.

Chapter 10

Buteyko’s scientific laboratory is dismantled. Is hanging the only way out? Friends come to the rescue.

Chapter 11

Love alone keeps death at bay. Ludmila Larionova and the deadly dye.

Chapter 12

Dr Buteyko teaches the Elimination of Deep Breathing Method to Larionova’s nine-year old son, who is dying of cancer and asthma, and the mother is cured by the son. A new friend.

Chapter 13

If you believe in Dr Buteyko’s theory, you belong in a Soviet loony bin.

Chapter 14

Soviet medicine is the most humane in the world. Or, dear comrades, we don’t lock you up for nothing!....

Chapter 15

The first 75 days in a cell with lunatics and no exercise. ”Give up the Buteyko theory, and you’re a free man”.

Chapter 16

Farewell, to the chauffer’s cap. Farewell to the wife and family. A second spell in a loony bin. Fisticuffs and abuse. A long awaited meeting with Buteyko.

Chapter 17

The chief doctor of a Kharkov hospital treats 300 acute patients with the VEDB method. The Health Ministry’s order goes out: “attack!”

Chapter 18

How Buteyko’s technique might possibly have helped cure ex-President Nixon’s many health problems. Patients in Kharkov thwart the Health Ministry’s agents, and how the whole story ends.

Chapter 19

Teaching VEDB ‘underground’, and being hunted by borzoi hounds. The second clinical trials. The medicine-free technique is recognised- but only in combination with medicine. And very close combination at that.

Chapter 20

A mother commits her son to psychiatric hospital for the third time, because he follows the Buteyko technique! Brezhnev’s funeral. “We’d have walked through the grass in bare feet”.

Chapter 21

The first leaflet on the Buteyko method reaches the West. His discovery is patented. A peculiar “instruction” nixes the Health Ministry decree to “introduce the therapy throughout the health system”… The first Buteyko conference.

Chapter 22

October 1988, Perov district, Moscow – the 3rd Buteyko Conference on VEDBM. A mendacious report from the other camp. Buteyko asks if Politburo members are properly treated for diabetes, and says that CO2 shortage is the cause of sugar diabetes!

Chapter 23

Diabetics in the USSR have only ONE monitor (and that’s probably for the head of the Communist Party). The Chief Endocrinologist of Krasnoyarsk territory says VEDBM will turn the world upside down.
