Used for just 15 minutes a few times a week, RESPeRATE delivers a significant all-day blood pressure reduction.<p> <b>The Power to Lower Blood Pressure</b><br> RESPeRATE is a portable, computerized electronic device that guides you through sessions of interactive, therapeutic breathing powerful enough to lower blood pressure.<p> <table width="320" align="left"> <tr> <td> <table width="280" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td><b>Proven in Seven Clinical Trials<b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/resperate2.gif" width="280" height="256"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <span class="caption">Step 1: The respiration sensor monitors your breathing.<br> <br> Step 2: The RESPeRATE computerized unit composes a personalized melody with prolonged inhale and exhale guiding tones.<br> <br> Step 3: Simply listen to the melody through the headphones and synchronize your breathing.<br> <br> By prolonging the exhalation tone RESPeRATE guides you to slow your breathing and reach the "therapeutic zone" of less than 10 breaths per minute.<p></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/buttons/see_it_in_action.gif" border="0" align="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> 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.<p> 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.<p> 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.<p> <b>Breathing with RESPeRATE makes the difference</b><br> 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.<p> 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.<p> <table width="320" align="right"> <tr> <td> <table width="280" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td><b>Three Easy Steps</b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/resperate1.jpg" width="280" height="257"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><span class="caption">Within 3 to 4 weeks of use, a significant, all day reduction in blood pressure can be achieved.</span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/buttons/see_it_in_action.gif" border="0" align="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </tr> </td> </table> 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.<p> <b>Who Should Use RESPeRATE</b><br> 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.<p> 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.<p> 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.<p> <br><b>RESPeRATE Contents:</b><br> RESPeRATE device, respiration sensor, headphones, user manual, and 4 AA batteries. </ul> </div> <blockquote><small><b>Please Note:</b> RESPeRATE should only be used as part of your overall health program for achieving blood pressure goals, as recommended by your doctor.

Amazing!!!
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.
No new meds
RESPeRATE Blood Pressure Lowering Machine
I've had this for about 6 weeks now. After using it for a month, I had a scheduled doctor's appt to see how my bp was doing. After reviewing my bp home chart, she decided that I was keeping it under control and did not need another med and could even "play" with my HCTZ to see if I still needed it. I do use the machine 5 days a week. I also could probably lower the bp more by walking every day too. Does it really work or is it snake oil like some people say? I can't say for others, but I'm happy with my numbers now. For 15-20 minutes a day I sit, relax and do nothing but breath.
Works well but there are cheaper alternatives
I have this product and use it daily. It looks to me that there are some iPhone alternative application out there that do the same thing. Specifically iBreathe. You may want to check these apps out if you have an iPhone, if anything its nice to have when traveling. I was surprised to see that it even uses the phone as a sensor like the actual device.
Resperate
I have used this product nearly every day for at least 15 minutes over three weeks now. A few days ago I read on the resperate forums that you can increase the default 15 min sessions so I moved mine up to 20. The more "Therapeutic" minutes you log per day the better. Combined with exercise and low sodium diet, I believe that someday I'll get off the bp meds. I've already begun to question the need for the medicine with this thing. Some days however my bp shoots up and I don't know why. I have noticed my bp goes down in the afternoons and that overall since using this device, my bp in the afternoons has gone down. My bp before using this was 140/85 and lately it's been 132/78. Some mornings my bp has gone down to 119/72, but that's after exercise, honest diet, and breathing exercises the day before. 15 min to start is not hard to do. The "guiding" tones are easy to follow and overall I feel relaxed after each session. A couple times I actually fell asleep...which is not recommended and when your breathing goes off the path, the device wakes you up and tells you how to get back on track. It's all good. If you are spending $$ on medicines, I recommend you buy it. Maybe you can lower your dose or get off it entirely by using this thing. The retail cost of my bp w/o insurance is $190 per 90-day supply. This resperate device could eventually be quite a cheap investment with a great ROI.
Yep...it really DOES work!
I didn't notice any difference at first but I kept using it...almost every night, because it's very relaxing & pleasant to use.
I started on the 15th of March and it wasn't until about April 20th
that it really showed a big difference. No matter what, my pressure stayed
very low after that no matter what time of the day I checked it.
And just to be sure, I stopped using it for a few days & sure enough,
my pressure went back up.
I'm in my late 60ies & have had high blood pressure for many years...
I LOVE this device....
