The reason is that many symptoms that MS creates are symptoms that are apparent and representative of other diseases as well.

Part of the problem in diagnosing MS is that there are no definitive tests strictly for MS screening. Rather there are several tests given that in total can point, with some certainty, to MS.

Let us first examine what happens in linear breathing, that is, natural breathing, which is involuntary. As you inhale and exhale in alteration, air fills your lungs and then empties them in succession, without your ever being conscious of the breathing process. On the other hand, voluntary circular breathing, an ancient Taoist technique, uses conscious effort. It promotes all-round health, both physical and mental, if practiced regularly and properly. It is quite different from the more widely prevalent pranayama, an ancient Indian technique involving a wide variety of methods to control and regulate breathing for health and long life. Some types of pranayama require you to hold the breath inside your body after inhaling or keep your body without it after exhaling. Taoist breathing does not advocate holding your breath either in or keep it out. On the contrary, its technique covers your entire being, both body and mind. Circular breathing is therefore whole-body breathing.
