ABOUT THE ACTIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF THE METHOD OF CONSCIOUS REGULATION OF THE DEPTH OF BREATHING IN THE TREATMENT OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

In recent years, methods of drug-free therapy have vastly penetrated into bronchial asthma treatment. The efficiency of the modified voluntary breathing depth reduction method (the Certificate of Authorship for Innovation N 1067640 of September 15, 1983 "Haemohypocarbia Therapy Method" granted to K. P. Buteyko) for bronchial asthma therapy in children and adults, as combined with regular medication and physiotherapeutic techniques, has been experimentally confirmed in several science and research institutes.

Therefore, in order to induce the further development of drug-free bronchial asthma therapy methods and initiate use of the voluntary breathing depth adjustment method in medicine, I hereby command:

1. The USSR Ministry of Health 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I. M. Sechenov (Mr. V. I. Petrov) shall continue research of the voluntary breathing depth reduction method for bronchial asthma therapy in children and adults, execute the Practices for doctors, and deliver the latter in good manner for the USSR Ministry of Health approval by December 1, 1985.

2. The USSR Ministry of Health CSRI of Tuberculosis (Mr. A. G. Khomenko), NSRI of Pulmonology (Mr. N. M. Putov), and the RSFSR MSRI of Tuberculosis (Mr. A. A. Priymak) shall organize research of the voluntary breathing depth reduction method for bronchial asthma therapy in children and adults in 1985, execute the Practices for doctors, and deliver the latter in good manner for the USSR Ministry of Health approval by December 1, 1986.

3. In 1985-1986, the Institute of Breathing Physiology and Pathology (Mr. M. T. Lutsenko), Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (Mr. V. P. Kaznacheyev), and the Institute of Therapy (Mr. Yu. P. Nikitin), all Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Medical Science, shall organize research of the voluntary breathing depth reduction method therapy of patients with various inner organ pathologies, execute the Method Implementation Practices, and deliver the latter in good manner for the USSR Ministry of Health approval by December 1, 1987.

4. In December 1986, the USSR Ministry of Health Academic Medical Council (Mr. O. K. Gavrilov), USSR Ministry of Health Agency for Maternal and Infant Prophylaxis (Ms. I. I. Grebesheva) and the USSR Ministry of Health Agency for Prophylaxis (Mr. A. M. Moskvichev) shall organize a conference on "Drug-free Methods of Bronchial Asthma Therapy".

5. By June 15, 1986, the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Medical Science (Mr. Yu. I. Borodin) shall file an application to the RSFSR Ministry of Health for supplementary appropriations into a research group acting as a research and methodology center for further research of the voluntary breathing depth reduction method therapy for various pathologies.

6. By June 1985, the USSR Ministry of Health 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I. M. Sechenov (Mr. V. I. Petrov) shall file an application to the USSR Ministry of Health for supplementary appropriations into the Department of Remedial Gymnastics (Prof. V. A. Siluyanova) in order to organize further research of the voluntary breathing depth reduction method.

7. By June 1, 1985, Chairman of the National Research and Technology Program Coordination Committee (Mr. A. G. Khomenko) shall include research of the drug-free bronchial asthma therapy with the help of voluntary breathing depth reduction method in the 12th five-year plan Program.

8. Implementation of this Order shall be controlled by the USSR Ministry of Health Academic Medical Council (Mr. O. K. Gavrilov), USSR Ministry of Health Agency for Maternal and Infant Prophylaxis (Ms. I. I. Grebesheva) and the USSR Ministry of Health Agency for Prophylaxis (Mr. A. M. Moskvichev).
