Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 You may have a lot of trouble sticking with this product December 2, 2008
While some reviewers appear to enjoy using this product and get good results, I wanted to balance these positive reviews with my own experience.
In my case, I tried using this for a couple of weeks, but the 15 minutes that you are supposed to use it came to seem like an eternity of boredom. I would sometimes check the time thinking that 15 minutes were up, but find I was only 3 minutes into the routine. You listen to a very repetitive tone sequence, which I found soon grated on my nerves. I doubt that it would help my blood pressure once I found it so annoying. It would probably be much better to just relax and listen to music that I enjoyed. In fact, the clinical studies of this device showed that listening to music (the control condition) accomplished a substantial fraction of the reduction of using this device.
So, this does seem to work for some, but you can probably judge your own personality as to whether you could enjoy listening to a repetitive tone sequence 3 times a week for the rest of your life.
I am giving this only 1 star as it cost a lot to find out this didn't work for me and there was no return policy after one month.
 Amazing December 1, 2008
I love this devise. I bought the duel machine so that it would keep track of both my boyfriend and myself. I am in my early 40's and he is in his late 30's. We are not over weight and we do exercise regularly. But still both of us had prehypertention/stage 1 hypertention. Within three days my blood pressure had gone down to normal levels! 3 days! The directions say it takes 3 to 4 weeks to see a difference but mine was much quicker. I started by using it every day to get in to the habit but now am using it 3 times a week as suggested. My boyfriend's progress has been slower but it also brought his blood pressure down within the first week.
You have to be willing to put in the time or it will not work. But wouldn't you rather put in 45 minutes a week than go on medication? The other great thing about the Resperate is that it is very relaxing to use. It's like taking a little time out of the day to simply relax. I think it's great for anxiety too. It just helps you to slow down and concentrate on your breath. I can't say enough good things about the resperate. I'm so happy I bought it.
Works as described for me September 1, 2008

I had considered this product a number of times but sat on the fence because of the price. A recent increase in my BP, despite taking the usual steps to lower it, required an increase in my medication which stabilized but did not lower it. I made up my mind then to try RESPeRATE. After a month of daily use, my BP as well as my resting pulse rate have all lowered.
The machine is easy to use and requires only 15-20 minutes per session. I also find the routine to be meditative and relaxing. I recommend finding a quiet place to use it with no distractions or interruptions.
As far the price, however, they should have included the carry/storage bag. The earphones supplied are no better than the throw-away type airlines sell for $2. They could have been better quality. Also the built in storage compartment is barely adequate for the sensor, belt and wires.
Did nothing for me August 28, 2008

This was a real waste of money, I started using it everyday in June '08, and kept using it all summer without a drop in my blood pressure AT ALL.
I read it had a one month return policy, but they recommended using it for at least 6 weeks....Go figure. I E-mailed their customer support and NEVER heard from them. So between the failure to lower my blood pressure and no response from Resperate..I think my blood pressure might have actually gone up a little.
 Good, but not good enough July 28, 2008

This may look like a great invention; it may have helped many, but I just can't see anything in it that is worth the price tag. There is nothing that this device can give you a 15-minute yoga session can't give. And, if you are too lazy to do yoga for 15 minutes, chances are that you are too lazy to use this device for 15 minutes. The price tag may force you to use it for 30 days, but after that you are stuck with it and it will probably end up under the bed along with all other "easy-storage" gadgets.
Negativity apart, it is actually a great invention. It does a good job in sensing your breathing pattern and forces you to stick to a pattern for 15 minutes after which it shuts off by itself. It guides you through a pattern with ascending and descending soothing musical notes. It is quite relaxing and you will find yourself yawning by the end of the 15 minute session. But, again, it is too pricey for what it does and it is not anywhere nearly good as simple yoga.
