EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Amazon.com Product Description .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: 20px; } Introducing RESPeRATE, the interactive breathing device used by thousands of men and woman nationwide to gain control over high blood pressure. Used for just 15 minutes a few times a week, RESPeRATE delivers a significant all-day blood pressure reduction. The Power to Lower Blood Pressure RESPeRATE is a portable, computerized electronic device that guides you through sessions of interactive, therapeutic breathing powerful enough to lower blood pressure. Proven in Seven Clinical Trials Step 1: The respiration sensor monitors your breathing. Step 2: The RESPeRATE computerized unit composes a personalized melody with prolonged inhale and exhale guiding tones. Step 3: Simply listen to the melody through the headphones and synchronize your breathing. By prolonging the exhalation tone RESPeRATE guides you to slow your breathing and reach the "therapeutic zone" of less than 10 breaths per minute. Using a breathing sensor, RESPeRATE automatically analyzes your individual breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones, delivered through comfortable earphones. Simply listen to the melody through the headphones and synchronize your breathing to the tones. By prolonging the exhalation tone RESPeRATE guides you to slow your breathing and reach the "therapeutic zone" of less than 10 breaths per minute. The physiological result? The muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in your body dilate, and relax. Blood is allowed to flow more freely, and pressure is directly, significantly lowered. Breathing with RESPeRATE makes the difference Scientific evidence has shown that structured therapeutic breathing, if performed without an effort or particular concentration, can significantly lower your blood pressure. However, these effortless therapeutic breathing sessions are difficult to perform on your own without years of training or continuous, individualized coaching. That is why RESPeRATE was developed. To deliver effortless therapeutic breathing without any prior training, RESPeRATE utilizes a patented "Interactive Respiratory Pacing" technology, which ingeniously takes advantage of the body's natural tendency to follow external rhythms. Three Easy Steps Within 3 to 4 weeks of use, a significant, all day reduction in blood pressure can be achieved. And while your breathing returns to normal after each session with RESPeRATE, the beneficial impact on your blood pressure is cumulative. Bottom line: with regular use of RESPeRATE, measurable, sustained reduction in blood pressure is achieved. Who Should Use RESPeRATE Whether you are already taking anti-hypertension medication or still trying to lower blood pressure with diet and exercise, RESPeRATE might just be the tool you need. Seven clinical trials repeatedly found RESPeRATE to be safe and effective for people with high blood pressure, either medicated or unmedicated, male or female, younger and older. One particular study, published in American Journal of Hypertension, even found that RESPeRATE delivered significant blood pressure reductions for people who had uncontrolled blood pressure despite taking three or more medications at maximum dosage. RESPeRATE Contents: RESPeRATE device, respiration sensor, headphones, user manual, and 4 AA batteries. Please Note: RESPeRATE should only be used as part of your overall health program for achieving blood pressure goals, as recommended by your doctor. RESPeRATE can be safely used in conjunction with medication and lifestyle modification such as diet and exercise. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 89 reviews)
| Still uncertain by Glenn H. Warner 4 Stars October 23, 2009 The product is easy to use. I've only done 19 sessions with Resp e rate and have experienced a modest reduction in my morning blood pressure. It is still too soon to tell whether or not a long lasting reduction will occur with continued use of this device.
| | Resperate for Blood pressure by J. Scherer (Colorado) 4 Stars October 22, 2009 I am using this once a day, usually in the evening. It is calming, much like Yoga music and breathing. I am one of the users that has some trouble falling to sleep while using but believe the breathing and relaxation time will eventually do some lowering for me. I have not had this unit for very long and have a very stubborn blood pressure that I have had for years. This will be a good testing for my blood pressure.
I believe people with elevation that is pushing them toward medicine should see good results. My blood pressure is some better but am doctoring right now for adjustment in medications. I will inform later of my results as time goes on. There are so many good reports on this Resperate, that I just had to give it a good try. I caught the 90 dollars off sale. Otherwise, I felt very expensive.
| | Incomplete by E. Connell (NY City) 3 Stars August 27, 2009 I have not yet had this device long enough to comment on its effectiveness but have had problems with two features. The belt is poorly designed since one moment it tells me to tighten the belt and 15 second later to loosen the belt. If the belt is properly tightened at the start it should stay that way. Also sometimes when my breath starts out at a slow rate it gets too slow too fast afterward for me to properly sychronize. I just can't breathe in deep enough and slow enough at the lower rates
| | After 60 days of Resperate, my blood pressure did not change by Ray D. Ator (Seattle, WA) 1 Stars August 24, 2009 I bought this item at a local drugstore for $300 and used it every day for 60 days. It did not change my blood pressure at all.
I tried contacting the company (phone and email) and they never answered the phone or my emails.
Since I paid for it with American Express, I was able to return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
| | Amazing!!! by bluemax_1 5 Stars June 30, 2009 This is amazing! So I've occasionally had doctors take my BP and tell me that it's borderline high. I'm 37, and I used to exercise very diligently but have been slacking somewhat over the past few years. Although I still try to stay in shape and stay healthy (bodyfat % used to be 7% but is currently 14%), I tend not to watch my diet at all. I don't watch my sodium consumption, I don't count calories or worry about fat content. I don't usually consume too much sugar, but I don't go out of my way to avoid it.
Well, I decided to get a home blood pressure cuff so I could keep track of my blood pressure and not have to listen to a doctor tell me my BP is borderline high when the only reason I'm at the clinic is because I'm in pain or serious discomfort.
I took the monitor out of the box, read the instructions and checked my BP and it was 142/80. Stage 1 hypertension according to the systolic reading. Maybe taking a reading 10 minutes after eating two entrees wasn't a good idea. Anyway, I decided to Google "Lowering your blood pressure" and it sent me to a site that recommended several steps to lower my blood pressure. All the usual ones like exercise, diet, taking BP medications if they are prescribed, and then it mentioned RESPeRATE and how this non-surgical device has been proven to reduce blood pressure. I thought, "Really?", so I followed the link to Amazon to check it out.
After reading about the way the device is supposed to work, I changed my seating position/posture (was slouched on the couch) and altered my breathing pattern while continuing to read all the user reviews, taking slow measured breaths. That was until I came across the review that mentioned that it isn't recommended to slow your breathing rate to 4 breaths per minute or less. I measured the rate I had slowed my breathing to and realized it was about 3.5 bpm, so I altered it a little till it hovered around 5 as I continued reading the reviews.
After reading through the reviews for about 15-20 minutes, I decided to check my BP with the monitor again. 117/79!!! Wow, after just ~20 minutes. So altering your breathing patterns really DOES make a difference!
What can I say, the actual practice seems to yield real results. If you need this device to help you focus and do it, so be it.
