SUPPORTERS of a Russian scientist who claims to have invented a cure for asthma have the chance to see him in person tonight.
Professor Konstantin Buteyko is due to speak about his controversial approach to asthma treatment at Newcastle Civic Centre, at 7.30pm.
The professor developed a new way of treating asthma in the 1950s. His followers believe that the respiratory illness can be overcome by changing the way people breath.
Dennis Champion, a Whitley Bay businessman, who says the Buteyko technique has effectively cured his asthma, believes that the widespread adoption of Buteyko treatment would save the NHS millions of pounds.
