Resultaten av kursen för astmatiker är vanligtvis:
1. 50 % minskning av hostan inom tre veckor.
2. 50 % minskning av väsande ljud inom tre veckor
3. 90% minskning av luftrörsvidgande läkemedel inom tre veckor
4. 50 % minskning av kortison användning inom 3-6 månader
5. Ökad livskvalite
Målet med andningskorrigeringen är fullständig symtomfrihet och medicinering, detta har tidigare uppnåtts av tusentals astmatiker.

Citat, Robert Cowie (Professor Respiratory medicine):
”I’ve been astonished and also very pleased with the excellent result. There is no disruption of their life at all by their disease: normal activities; not waking at night; not needing to use any reliever medications. It’s just great…75% control is about as good as anyone has got in any study of asthma. The neat thing about it is that it has no side effects. It’s very safe. The Buteyko technique certainly has been shown to be an important adjunct to treatment.”
Dr. Robert Cowie, Resident Respirologist of Foothills Hospital in Calgary and head researcher on the Buteyko Breathing Technique Medical Trial. (October 2004 – April 2005)
