https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4hnasd/i_am_wim_hof_the_iceman_ama/ This is the latest one I think. The guy talks about using breathing techniques and meditation to increase immunity to illnesses and having a better life. Also talks about Cold Therapy and how having cold showers or being in the cold promotes healthiness or something. Is it just me or does it seem that these are common wuxia and daoist forms of training? Like the first one mentioned seems like a cultivation technique and the second, body cultivation.
Since he's enhancing his Yin meridians, is he considering what Yun Che did to someone who practices the dao in the north pole?
In fourth grade I did a study that I thought proved trees were animals... About the same level of science.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26799456 Mindfulness meditation and the immune system: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Conclusion: The findings suggest possible effects of mindfulness meditation on specific markers of inflammation, cell-mediated immunity, and biological aging, but these results are tentative and require further replication. On the basis of this analysis, we describe the limitations of existing work and suggest possible avenues for future research. Mindfulness meditation may be salutogenic for immune system dynamics, but additional work is needed to examine these effects. Although, meditation might be useful, it's only have a salutogenic effect, that is, increase someone's well being, but not curing disease. This is because meditation might decrease someone stress level, and it had been shown in various studies that mental stress can cause many health trouble and or exacerbating disease. So not only meditation, if you do something that can decrease your stress level, you might get the same benefit. Meditation had the advantage of low cost, portability, and relatively easiness. EDIT: YOU STILL NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL HELP IF YOU SICK THOUGH. NO MEDICATION CAN CURE YOU FROM CANCER OR DIABETES OR OTHER INFECTIOUS AND OR DEGENERATIVE DISEASES AFTER ALL
Unless ur Wim Hof, he's like the Micheal Phelps of strange, helpful bodies. -It was proven that he healed faster than normal people after frostbite by using his meditation strategies. Note: -Phelps is literally built for swimming -Has all these quirks which enable him to gain minor cheats for swimming -So he's like a reincarnated person who got a minor cheat.
