Called "Dr. Breath" by some athletes at Yale, and a self-styled "super-sleuth," Dr. Breath is not a doctor but a man who has worked for years developing his own system of breathing coordination.
At first with great success in a Veterans' Hospital with emphysema patients, at the end (for a season) as consultant to the U.S. Olympic Team. His method he called SIMBIC, an acronym we could not quite relate to the Stough Method of Breathing Coordination, and he defines it more scientifically as a ""carefully disciplined process of retraining the muscles of respiration to operate in a synergistic pattern for peak efficiency with minimum effort.""
In fact all of the book is spent in explaining the process and its beneficial effects although one questions who will possibly read it or whether they should (medical accreditation is yet to come).
