Dear Mr. Mckeown,

Thank you for your timely letter, as harmonizes with this month’s paper from Victor Lai, Dr. Jayne Carberry and Dr. Danny Eckert.¹

In your well referenced letter, you point out the importance of breathing in the control of obstructive sleep apnea. I could not agree more.

The objective of my editorial was to point out the absence of scientific evidence regarding the Buteyko technique and the need for studies supporting that specific technique.

Your commitment to your field of interest is impressive and demands respect. Your impact would be dramatically increased if one could come up with good studies on the Buteyko technique. I will be looking forward to these.
