Anyone here familiar with Wim Hof Method? For those who aren't, here's a video explaining it:
Wim Hof is a guy that holds 26 world records. Most of them including ICE and Apneia. Like
His method consist specially in a crazy specific breathing (but it has some exercise and cold showers associated with it). Acording to him and some scientists, he can control his autonomic nervous system to regulate his blood circulation, body temperature etc etc. And so does everyone he teaches. Now there's Fibromyalgia patients claiming his method cured him, MS patients the same and the list goes. But he tackles mostly on mental illnesses like depression and anxiety.
I tried today the Breathing method and in the first round (there are 3 rounds) I hold my breath for 2:40 minutes and I just stop hold accidentally, I felt I could go on longer. The second round I couldn't clock it :\ and I didn't do the third round cause as I learned ME patients need to start everything slower than anyone.
Now 2:40!!! WTF I've never hold it for more than 1 minute and something I was impressed specially at how easy it was. HE said it would be like this and didn't believe but it was exactly like this: I didn't feel panic or urge to breath. I just felt my body was full with oxigen.
I'm gonna be doing more and I can report to you guys. Meanwhile if you want, share your experiences. And here's a facebook group for ME patients trying his method: https://www.facebook.com/groups/841011709386464/
