Randall Langston, MD, ENT
My name is Randall Langston. I have a
Doctor of Medicine degree from University of Miami, Fl. I am a Board
Certified Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist.) I am nearly
70 years old I am retired after 30 years private practice in ENT and
Allergy. I am also retired from the US Naval Reserve. I have had
training in Maharishi Ayurveda at Maharishi University of Management in
Fairfield, Iowa.
I have had a long interest in Complementary
Alternative Medicine and used it while in practice. But now I have found
the missing link to all of this which is breathing as presented by Mike
White and the Optimal Breathing School. It has been become so obvious that
every "condition" is made better or worse by how we breathe. I have had
some severe breathing challenges myself and did not know there was any
permanent help available until I met Mike through Breathing.com and
began the program. I am working with it daily and am happy with my steady
progress.
During my last two years of practice I had
the opportunity to work at Eglin Air Force Base with VA and young active
duty patients. One of the problems that defied logic was obstructive
sleep apnea which can be found at any age. Now I realize that breathing
properly is the missing link. Also severe voice problems such as spasmodic dysphonia can be made better with breathing training. Our only other
therapy for SD is Botox which works well but unfortunately only about four months.
My goal is to assist people from a truly
global approach to health through correction of Unbalanced Dysfunctional Breathing, diet, exercise, herbs and
supplements where appropriate and referral for other modalities such as
massage' Rolfing, Chiropractic, Acupuncture etc. Yes, there will be
times when people will need appropriate referrals for conventional
therapies. If your arm is broken you would not go to the health food
store would you?
Basically I view myself as a health
counselor, coach, and triage person helping people in an eclectic
approach to life. And most importantly with emphasis on the spiritual
development.
The OBDSA-1&2 course was outstanding. I learned more in 3 days then I have in
years. The course was clear and concise. I think this knowledge really needs
to get out to the world.

Re: deviated septum surgery
First let me start by telling you how pleased I am with the puchase of my
HearFones. Not really sure how I survived as a singer for over 25 years
without them. I'm like a kid with a new toy, thank you. I write to ask a
question regarding septoplasty. My ENT just recently diagnosed me with a
severly deviated septum, (more S shaped than straight), and recommended that
I have surgery to repair. Now I understand why I'm never able to breath out
of both nostrils. I am very concerned about any changes that may occur in my
singing voice. I have been assured that my breathing will improve
significantly, but it is really not worth it to me if it affects my singing
voice in a negative way, please give me your professional thoughts on my
situation. Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
mike Asked Dr. Langston: His reply follows.
Hi Mike
I did many septoplasties and this will not change singing voice at all.
Unless singer sings through the nose instead of correct placement and
projection. I too am a singer and have sung tenor solos in "The Messiah" as
well as other cantatas and oratorios.Some musicals including Gilbert and
Sullivan as well as many weddings and of course church choirs. Really the
improved breathing should help with breath control. When I was in Navy
during Viet Nam war in Yokosuka Japan I operated on a Navy fellow who had
never smelled the Binjo ditches in Japan. Afterwards he could smell quite
well and asked if we could put the obstruction back. (Kidding).
If this gentleman has other questions he can write me at rglangston@cox.net
Hope this is helpful
Hope to see you again sometime
Randy
