We designed and developed the CapnoTrainer® instrument to this end. Few people, lay or professional, know that (1) breathing directly regulates body chemistry, including pH, electrolyte balance, blood flow, hemoglobin chemistry, and kidney function, and that (2) breathing is a behavior subject to the same principles of learning as any other behavior, including the role of motivation, emotion, attention, perception, and memory. Failure to directly address breathing as learned behavior, and how it regulates basic body chemistry, means leaving out the most fundamental, practical, and profound factors that account for (1) the far-reaching effects of compromised respiration, as well as for (2) the surprising benefits of good respiration. Compromised respiration can cause, trigger, exacerbate, and perpetuate symptoms and deficits of all kinds, ones that typically go “unexplained” or are falsely attributed to other causes; significantly, these effects are real and not imagined. Good respiration, on the other hand, can bring about immensely beneficial physical, mental, and behavioral changes, ones that again may be attributed to other unrelated factors. The CapnoTrainer® instrument was developed to assist in bringing together respiratory physiology and behavioral psychology in practical ways that may be relevant to the lives of millions who have unwittingly learned breathing behaviors that compromise respiration and its associated effects on acid-base balance.
