Since 1991, thousands of people have experienced the joy and health benefits of Full Wave Breathing. Here is one person's story of how Full Wave Breathing changed their life.

CASE IN POINT:
Linda's Health

For nearly six years, Linda had experienced symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Two years before, she left a job as psychotherapist and director of a program providing therapy and mediation services for divorcing families. At the time of her resignation she felt very strongly that she had to leave her job, even though the funding for her husband's job was due to end in two months, and his future employment was uncertain. But within three weeks of her resignation, her husband found a job in a new city.

"I came to Colorado naively believing that a year of simple rest would return me to the state of health and activity that I had previously enjoyed," Linda explains. "But two years later, I was more exhausted-and more discouraged than I ever had been. I had tried every treatment regime, supplement, rest, and therapy that I could find."

Then she learned about Full Wave Breathing and attended a lecture where a remarkable story of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome inspired her to try directed breathing.

"Something inside me knew that this was potent stuff," she says, "that the breath was connected to something very powerful-powerful enough to change my life. From there it began. as a facilitator assured me, 'Step by step and breath by breath'-a new way of life. The modules were a wonderful combination of solid information, movement, meditation and breathing. The written materials were helpful in an unexpected way-it was enormously comforting to see my own experiences in print."

Linda says she believes that Full Wave Breathing has allowed her to choose health. Shortly after starting the breathing program, she began working with a doctor who believes many of the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome could be treated with oxidative IVs to oxygenate body tissue, reduce yeast imbalances, and reduce viral activity.

After six months of Full Wave Breathing, her blood work (which reflects 12 hydrogen peroxide IVs, dietary changes, supplements and daily breath sessions) shows significant changes: Candida blood levels decreased dramatically, liver function returned to the normal range, HDL increased substantially, triglycerides levels dropped, and viral activity appears to have greatly diminished.

There are no lab tests which clearly identify Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or its cure. Although researchers are beginning to identify physical abnormalities, the routine lab work of most individuals diagnosed with CFS is "normal." But in Linda's case, she says she has "no doubt that there is now concrete evidence to support my perceived improvement. I believe that in time, my body will once again support me in the way I am meant to be in the world."

As a psychotherapist, Linda became very disenchanted with the limits of psychology, and not knowing how to take it further, went into administration. She now facilitates breathing with a very different approach.

"I fell in love with my work-perhaps for the first time," she says. As for her experience with CFS, she reflects on it as a "period of quiet, sacred space. It is a time for being and deepening in the most profound and meaningful way."
