About the Author
Roger L. Price
Roger L. Price was born in South Africa in 1940 and now resides in Australia. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he has become an internationally recognised authority on the relationship between dysfunctional breathing and the epidemic of non-communicable diseases responsible for the majority of deaths across the 38 OECD countries.
With qualifications, degrees, and professional certifications across multiple disciplines of human health, Price has spent more than 50 years in clinical practice and lived and worked in five countries. This rare breadth of experience has given him a perspective few clinicians ever achieve—and led him to a simple but confronting truth: the body whispers long before it screams.
THE WAY WE BREATHE IS KILLING US
"The Way We Breathe Is Killing Us" is more than a book—it’s a guide to reclaiming health through the forgotten power of breathing. Drawing on over 70 years of knowledge, experience, and research, Roger Price explores how the way we breathe impacts every system of the body, from energy and sleep to stress, disease, and longevity.
With clear explanations, real-world insights, and practical guidance, this book challenges conventional medical thinking and reveals how simple changes in breathing can transform your well-being.

Foreword
David Gozal
There are times when I take a new book that caught my attention and as I start reading it I find that I simply cannot put it down.
What are the ingredients of such magic that leave you riveted page after page?
For me, two specific topics which form part of the title ‘Breathing’ and ‘Us’.
To understand why I enjoyed this book so much, we have to go back several billions of years to the history of Mother Earth. At that time, oxygen did not exist, and the fundamental ingredients of life were slowly being introduced into existence, likely asynchronously. What are these ingredients? These fundamental building blocks of life on Earth include carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur, collectively known as CHNOPS.
It is now amply demonstrated that they originated from cosmic processes and that CHNOPS were delivered to Earth through various means. Interestingly, all living beings require all these elements except for oxygen. Oxygen, the latecomer, made its entry in its usual way that still persists till today. Too little, then too much, then too little again, and finally has settled (who knows for how long) into a balanced act that has enabled us to survive and thrive in a process of controlled combustion (oxidative radicals).
