      @jedicouncil66 check out the videos under the channel "Advanced Gerson Therapy" is run by Dr Vickers. I have a couple interviews on there with him and he does a great job breaking down the science behind it.
      Breathing techniques was simple. I would do a routine prior to cold water emersion (at least 2 mins) head and neck area minimal.
      I also believed in myself and would have meditation sessions focusing on mentally simulating my immune system. I would do this prior to sleep.

      MIRACLES OF THE QURAN
      Fourteen centuries ago, God sent down the Qur'an to mankind as a book of guidance. He called upon people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book. From the day of its revelation to the day of judgement, this last divine book will remain the sole guide for humanity.
      The matchless style of the Qur'an and the superior wisdom in it are definite evidence that it is the word of God. In addition, the Qur'an has many miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of these attributes is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th century were stated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.
      However, the Qur'an is not a book of science, it is a book of Signs! Many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered with the technology of the 20th century. These facts could not have been known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, and this is still more proof that the Qur'an is the word of God.
      In order to understand the scientific miracle of the Qur'an, we must first take a look at the level of science at the time when this holy book was revealed.
      In the 7th century, when the Qur'an was revealed, Arab society had many superstitious and groundless beliefs where scientific issues were concerned. Lacking the technology to examine the universe and nature, these early Arabs believed in legends inherited from past generations. They supposed, for example, that mountains supported the sky above. They believed that the earth was flat and that there were high mountains at its both ends. It was thought that these mountains were pillars that kept the vault of heaven high above.
      However all these superstitious beliefs of Arab society were eliminated with the Qur'an. In Sura Sad, verse 2, it was said: "God is He who raised up the heavens without any support..."(The Qur'an, 38:2). This verse invalidated the belief that the sky remains above because of the mountains. In many other subjects, important facts were revealed at a time when no one could have known them. The Qur'an, which was revealed at a time when people knew very little about astronomy, physics, or biology, contains key facts on a variety of subjects such as the creation of the universe, the creation of the human being, the structure of the atmosphere, and the delicate balances that make life on earth possible.
      Now, let us look at some of these scientific miracles revealed in the Qur'an together.

    Just listening to you is so relaxing, i was unable to work for 6 years cause i was crippled with Rheumatoid Arthritis then 3 years ago my friend told me about the techniques you use. First i started the breathing techniques then reluctantly started swimming in winter for 1hr across our river just very slowly whilst controlling my breathing, to my surprise i got use to the cold in minutes and feel great when i get out so now 3 years later in my late 40’s i now function and feel like a 20 year old. No more medications and best of all 98% of my RA symptoms have gone.
    The techniques you teach have truely saved me and for that i thank you from my heart.

    Another benefit of cold exposure is it clears the breathing passages. I used to suffer from constant, severe nose congestion, especially in winter time. It was driving me crazy. There were times when I couldn't focus on my work, couldn't focus on my reading etc. Throughout this winter I was taking cold showers, and my breathing was free on a constant basis. In the heart of winter! I hadn't breathed so freely since I was a kid. Thank you, Wim.

Outside the house is better especially depending on how cold it get outside meaning less time for the water chiller it takes to get the temperatures really low.

    What I've learned the most about health is you must have brief moments of stress followed by long moments of recovery. The cold, for example, makes you stressed for a moment because your body suddenly must warm you up. But then, you recover, making you stronger and less stressed by the cold as a result. People misunderstand stress because they think it should be avoided at all costs, but a complete lack of stress weakens you further. Similarly, people should only do a little stress because their bodies won't find the time to recover.

I deadlifted 245 9 times in today’s workout - a PR. That’s actually a dramatic PR.

      It's possible to do it but in open water like lakes and the sea you need to be prepared.
      I did it in a frozen lake but it felt like a huge physical battle afterwards.
      In sea I can imagine the flow is pretty reckless.

    For everyone like me who only takes boiling hot showers, don't think you can't do this! I washed myself in warm water then I just slowly turned the hot water off, and there was only maybe 5 seconds where i felt really cold, but after that - I felt stimulated and somehow joyful and like I'd achieved something really great without much effort at all. I felt like i was a kid again, swimming in the ocean at the start of spring when the water is still cold. Will definitely be doing this again tomorrow

Then if you are comfortable increase a little further to 5 minutes which is where I'm at now.

      @@vickiewessel2478 you're welcome. It took me about half a year to get to 5 minutes as I was gradually increasing and then stayed at a certain time for a period as I wasn't ready to increase and then gradually when I felt ready I could increase a little more each time I showered. You can go to the cold 100% but if you are starting you do the cold shower after a warm one. My goal is to do 100% cold for 5 minutes and ice baths.

One thing I've discovered is that if I keep my hands out of the water, I was able to add to my time without additional effort. Just something that worked for me, hope it works for you if you decide to try it!

    One thing I can say that was a nice surprise from doing cold exposure for over a year. My carpal tunnel is pretty much gone, sure occasionally ill feel a tightness, but I never feel pain or tightness in general anymore. Ive maybe felt it twice in a year with a pulling feeling in the fingers feeling very very slightly. Im sure people that have had carpal tunnel know what im talking about with that feeling. But its awesome, I think its the inflammation improvement from a daily ice bath. My ice bath is usually around -1c to -7c if you would like to know.
