Hi there all you flakey skinned pep's with flakey ideas to match...
This link was mentioned on the PA discussion board, but I thought it such a great overview of the various alternative and holistic approaches to both p and pa that i wanted to share it with readers of this board too. Thanks to Louise for finding and posting it in the first place:

As I understand it, shallow breathing is an automatic response to stress, but which leads to a build-up of CO2 in the blood and therefore to a general acidification of the body..........it seems to me that any attempt to alkalise the body using only dietary means, without paying attention to means of stress-reduction in general and improvements in breathing function in particular, are only half the story. Many stress reduction techniques can also be seen as a more or less indirect means of improving the breathing eg yoga, tai chi, bio-feedback etc.
Hoping that this is helpful
In love, Jivan
