My girlfriend, now wife was diagnosed with the same Guillain-Barre syndrome 4 years ago. She was paralyzed from the waist down. 3 months in and out of hospital and she made a miraculous recovery. Literally just stood up one day. She explains that she looked to God for help and had so much faith that she'll recover. Boom. Up and walking. No symptoms. No side effects. The Doctors still haven't given us an explanation. Sometimes I would stay up at night wondering if it would ever come back. Videos like these make me realize that humans are very capable creatures and help me sleep a little easier. We're making the most of our new chance at life! I've just discovered the WHM. It's an incredible journey. Stay well and God bless you all.
Kgothatso, my son had mild form of GBS and from my research I found out that it’s not only a rare autoimmune disorder, but once a person gets it its unlikely they will have a reoccurrence of it. So happy to hear of her miracle recovery. My son was 19:when he got it and it was about a year before his nerves regenerated. He is now 33;and has no lingering effects from GBS.
Good news! Keep up the good work 🌹 I'll start this method also. Am tired of conventional medicin which gives me no help and no hope for any physical healing. Stay strong🌳🌷🙏
Been having cold showers for 5 days now and doing the breathing exercise once a day (before shower) in the mornings. Start the shower with the slightest amount of warmth, like borderline cold and then turn it down gradually till it’s as cold as it goes and stays here for 3-5 minutes whilst breathing deeply and controlled. No diaphragm/chest restriction. Feel so alive and have energy throughout the entire day. Wont be stopping anytime soon, thanks Wim Hof for instilling such positivity and hope into humanity. Cheers.
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." Proverbs 23:7 As soon as this guy promised his daughter he was going to get better....game over. Mind over matter, there is NOTHING like it. I admire his determination and commitment.
My father died of pancreatic cancer when I was sixteen. He tried everything and even believed God would heal him. But it was his time to go to heaven. I don't think my father had a lack of commitment. I'm sure you meant well, though... Peace.

I’m actually crying❤I’ve never felt this kind of hope. I have a similar story.. my symptoms started when my ex husband was diagnosed with cancer. He’s improved but it’s been downhill for my health. Thank you for your story!!! I’ve just started a couple days ago but was afraid my health would get in the way. I’m so excited!!!

Yeah, remember that M.D training is very limited and close-minded to focus primarily on pharmaceutical drugs and surgery to "treat" problems. And this is coming from a future doc myself, but my goal is to be an integrative/holistic/functional medicine doc like Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Brooke Goldner, and others (all of which have either reversed disease themselves or family members before they have and continue to do with thousands of patients)!
@Jacob Alanheimer Agreed, the few that know about nutrition/natural health, etc., and are open to learning more, are the ones you want to work with.

Your exactly right. I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre just like Doug. Doctors said i would be basically out of commission for 6-to-9 months if i was lucky. As a futures trader, that just wasn't an option. So i went online and came across an article about immune system therapy animals, specifically dogs, that are trained for that kinda of work. We never had a dog growing up and my wife didn't either, so we never thought about having a dog. But i couldn't lose my job. So we got a specially trained Giant Schnauzer named Boomer. I was back to work in 6 weeks, not 8 months like poor Doug(just as my vacations days were nearly all used up). Now we have a new member of the family!!! Plus, you try to enter our property without myself or my wife telling Boomer its OK, and he will rip your fucking face off no questions asked.
Wim you are my inspiration. A month ago i said if I do don't find something that is gonna cure my depression and anxiety i will take antidepressants, and 30 days ago I started breathing exercises and cold showers, and I am preparing for ice bath and I don't wanna hear nothing about medicines. Thank you thank you thank you . If I ever see you i will give you the biggest hug in the world. 🤗❤ You saved my life! I adore you.

Everyone should be sharing Wim's videos with everyone they know! Everyone knows someone with auto-immune disorders. I actually have 3 of them. Wim Hof is helping me greatly! I am now symptom free from doing the breathing and ice baths and i also drink medicinal mushroom teas daily. Turkey tail mushroom and horse hoof fungus mushrooms. I used to feel like a 95 yr old and now i feel like i'm in my 20's and i'm actually 40.😉💗✌
That is a real man!!! Just saying!!!! I'm 62 and just started doing the WHM for 5 days now and seeing results I didn't think possible. Went from doing 35 pushups to 55 then 65 in 5 days using his breathing techniques! Taking 4 minute cold showers and feel stronger everyday! Unreal!!!!!!!
This guy seems like such an honorable man and an awesome father. I have a 3 month old son, and I will strive to keep my promises and my word be as good as his was to his kids!
I just got out of the hospital and told I have CIPD a chronic version Guillain-Barré . Over the last few months I have lost the ability to walk and It been awful. I am so grateful to have come across this video.
I had a similar experience. In a cold creek. Feeling the power left me in tears. I probably looked like a lunatic. But one with power inside. Power greater than sadness.
I cried so much during his story😭. My mom had Gullian Barre syndrom twice and the second time I was 13 and it was very traumatic… She’s a fighter, she survived and recovered well
I had chronic IBS-D since I was a kid. Doctors ran all the blood tests and scopes, I've done diet changes, medication after medication, nothing worked and it made it worse. This method has saved my life and I couldn't be more grateful to Wim. Complete 180 degree change from where I thought my life was going and it's for the better!
Been doing cold showers/baths for 2 years. Not every day but 95% of the time. Had my first winter dip in a river in 2021 and this year I want to take it up a notch to something colder. I often come home from work and just to recalibrate, put my head under the cold tap for a minute. You don't have to be Wim Hof or someone who sits in a ice bath. I don't have the means by which to do that and so I do what I can and take outdoor opportunities when I can. The point is, you can do something and anything is better than nothing and you'll reap the benefits.
Inspired, been cold shower everyday for 3 months now. Took me about a week before I could take it with ease, it's the highlight of my day, I genuinely look forward to it. My response to everything has changed. Far more laid back. Must incorporate the breathing.
@Tori Wolf start slow. In the beginning you can start with a hot shower so your body warms up a lot and after that you gradually make it colder. Doesn't have to be really cold in the beginning. And after time you will be able to make it colder and colder. And also start with just 30 seconds cold, and then you can gradually progress up to 2-4 minutes. 2 minutes is the absolute sweetspot because at that time the body completely gets used to the cold and then you gain the most benefit from it. :)
At 61 I had similar problem and spent 2 months in the hospital. It has been a little over 2 years recovery at home but getting stronger. Stress will put you down so do this or anything to occupy your mind in avoiding stress. Stay well.
Since doing a small cold shower nearly every day and at least one round of the deep breathing, I have never ever been even close to sick. All my friends catch colds and small bugs, me, never. Been 3 years now.
How long are you in the cold shower for, minimum? And then do you switch it back to warm/hot...? Not sure that I could endure shampooing my head with ice cold water..
@@veneta72 Hey it happens. But the breathing is also a big part of the immune system boost. Dont expect to never get sick just from taking cold showers.
I felt it very deeply when you yold about your son, coming to you with hope in his heart that this method could work for you. It shows the love that your son has for you. Got me crying really. Bless you and your family.
I can't find one person that said "WHM didn't work for me." I can't even find one person that said "meh, it was alright." But i can find thousands upon thousands who say, "It saved my life, and changed everything for the better." On the 4th week of his 10 week course - i have stopped smoking (no withdrawl symptons), eating sugar (no withdrawl symptons), and started running - just because i have so much energy i felt compelled to. I can do 60 push ups on my fists without breathng. (4 weeks ago i could do 10, and that was a 'push') I am reading books upon books, and retaining all the information. I am speaking elequently and able to think quickly and clearly. And the best of all, i feel like a child again. Despite all these amazing results, i try to spread the word to friends and work collegues who are really struggling with stress, anxiety, depression - and they don't want to know. I'm like "The answer is right here man!" ---- i'm gonna keep workin on my cold showers sales pitch.
Dave, that is awesome. I just started WH breathing but I am looking to do the whole thing. Did you take the course online? I wondering how long it will be before we can actually take the real thing or if the online method will be good enough to get these results. Great post
@@TimOgBurger Hi Tim. Its great that you started the breathing. I got the 10 week classic online course. (Its about 120quid i think - worth every penny imo) Just listen to what Wim says in the videos, and trust in him and yourself. I'm getting all these results from doing the online course. But my plan is to complete this course, continue the exercises every day for the rest of this year, then i will go to poland for his winter course. But the 10 week online course is great on its own - it will really turn your life around. After week 5 , the exercises get harder, so i repeated some weeks (which wim says do, if you haven't quite got it) I'm now standing in the cold shower for 10 minutes, and i fee like i could stand there all day tbh. Been swimming in the lake too (I can't wait for a dip in the lake this winter) Good luck Tim - just get the course and stick to it - soon you'll be waking up just to jump in the cold shower - its fantastic!
Davéjàvu thank you for your comment, it is what I needed. I am informing myself about the method an occasionally take a cold shower already. Positive about keep going on.
I know that there is science behind all of this, but even if it were just psychosomatic it is still incredibly powerful. When he said “I knew I was gonna be ok” was when he started getting better. Wim Hof sped up the process.
I salute ur determination & will power to revert the disease. I feel the pain in your eyes when U promise your daughter. I too passing on similar disorder. I have to learn much from U. Bless me to fight my own battle. ❤👍🌹🙏👌
Great story..our body has an amazing ability to cure itself..thanks for sharing your story..in the beginning I was always puzzled when I heard these kind of stories...but now I know for sure that it works..I no longer have any doubt about it..I would only add that fasting is incredibly powerful too..and maybe if you combine them together you could obtain even more benefits..greetings from Italy
What a beautiful son. He must've been looking for help for his Dad and that's so awesome. To love your father that much....brought tears to my eyes....
Healhy, Happy and Strong. Love that. Happy to see you were ablet to recover so well my friend. With stories like this, I really believe there will be a major shift in the way we prevent disease. Much love.
I have been practicing the breathing techniques and cold showers for 3 years. In that time I have become stronger, healthier, significantly reduced pain from injuries and thrive on pushing my autonomic immune system further. Grant
I needed to hear this, so timely for me, thank you Wim for helping so many people who have nowhere to turn! You're such a gift, I feel everything Wim has gone through was because he was meant to be this powerful light on Earth. Thank you x a million! ♥ ♥♥
1 year now, got fever once but it was because I was drinking alcohol for 3days with my friend in cold winter nights. fever went away in one day :) so if you get sick, you will recover much faster than normally by doing this method :D
Got pollen allergie and i am sick right now. But we are still human beings. Even if you do wim hof method everyday like me, in combination with cold shower. There always is a chance to get sick. Because i see a lot people thinking like, lets say if we do this. Does it mean you never get sick again? Well no. But we recover faster
What is mentioned here as deep breathing.. is called "pranayama" in India. It is indeed known to cure many diseases, including the regular ones..cold, cough. 😊I have a auto immune disorder but I regulate mine with diet.
@@remyarenil5712 observe your body and the food you eat. Certain foods aggravate the condition. Those are the ones you need to avoid. In my case, all kinds of junk food, ones made of refined wheat, deep fried foods, etc. Eat fresh and clean.
My mother had Guillain Barre before they really knew what it was. She ended up not being able to walk and in a wheelchair for 26 years. Today they know more about it and have better results. So happy you overcame it. 😊

I'm 22, and 'few' years ago (around.. when I was.. what, 12?), I was diagnosed with a complicated case of a Crohn sickness, an incurable, immune system sickness. I've been trough multiple surgeries, that allowed me to "stay around" for a bit longer than that, but all of it sure didn't went without it's side effects, just like the medication that I do need to take till the end of my days. All of it is taking its toll on my body and my "abilities"(physical/traveling/working etc) are very limited. On top of all that, I have & am diagnosed with depression and strong suicidal thoughts coming along with it. But I'm trying to keep on moving forward, and to find some meaning in my life... some way to live and some way to make money for the living and work... ...And those videos here, the simple meditation & breathing exercise.. is helping me a lot.. to feel better, feel calmer, feel the anxiety that sometimes overcomes me.. weaken, feel the dark clouds of depression brighten somewhat, feel my body, my physical and mental strength be stronger. Thank You Wim Hof.

Thanks for reaching out and asking, I wasn't expecting anyone to read the things that I've said here, and even less than that I expected a reply. What about You? How is Your life going on Your side?
@@Sarril101 have you still continued on doing the WHM? Taking cold showers, doing the breathing technique, eating healthy, etc? I've heard nothing but good things about the breathing technique, it seemed *too* good to be true, so I tried it out myself. I don't exactly have any apparent problems and/or ones that affect my life greatly, but wanting to take care of myself is enough of a reason to try it out. But of course, for my first ever try, I did it pretty horribly. Due to my greatest stigma, laziness, I haven't tried it out again since then, which was just a few days ago. I'm going to do it right after sending this comment, so that I don't forget to, but I digress. Anyhow, this leads me to a question, have your results been showing any kind of improvement in your sickness and mental health, even if slightly ever so?
Hope you are doing well, you are a f@#ing legend! dont ever doubt that! there are people in this world who have everything given to them on a golden platter and are miserable. And here you are soldiering through your pain like a absolute boss!! I hope you wake up every day with a new sense of purpose because this life is a beautiful experience, and I hope you find light and happiness because you deserve it! much love to you
Have you tried celery juice? It's changing my life drastically. I follow the Medical Medium protocol where you drink 16+ ounces of fresh, pure celery juice daily. My symptoms are showing drastic improvement in just 1 week. It's pretty straightforward. If you just google it all the info is there.
God bless that man. Props to Wim Hof. Just been introduced, my journey starts today. I have an auto immune condition that debilitates my day to day life. Not as severe as the above case but I'm on prescription meds every day. My goal is to get off this medication by eliminating my inflammation (hopefully). All the best to everyone who's trying this, stay strong.
For healing and deliverance Please keep repeating this, while watching "the passion of Christ" movie: ( By the stripes and wounds of Jesus I am healed. Thank you Jesus for completely healing me)

Hi good to hear you are ok, please share your method of healing because a friend of mine is paralysed from stroke so please share your approach to getting better. Much appreciated
My dad died of this same condition after getting a flu shot from Wal-Mart which set off his immune system to start attacking the nerve mylan sheaths. His mom and myself both had graves disease, another autoimmune condition. I've also loved sauna and cold water, but I need more! Thanks for thus video, you are an inspiration!
so sad.. sorry for your loss.. Having also an autoimmune disease and researched it for years. Best options are Coimbra protocol and PK diet can completely suppress your disease, but first one requires diet and second one is very strict diet.
It's so awesome ! We are build for much more than we think ! First time I saw Wim's Hof breathing techniques - in a week or so after got bronchitis . Fever already gone , but cough was still there . I'm in a bed ...Nothing to do ...I want to try . This cannot be explained in words . Just 15 min breathing - third time - was able to hold my breath for 1'5 min ...Just like that ? With bronchitis ?! Couldn't do more than 50 cek in my 20th !!! I'm 53 . Also a few year ago notice a crazy love for a cold water , which is plenty in Canada 🤣 Didn't do yet " ice" swimming , but , definitely on the list :) Thank you 💟 from a the bottom of my heart Ice Man 🙏 Warm hug from Canada 🤗
I have/had Guillain-Barre syndrome too - moreover, left me paralyzed just 6 months ago...today I'm walking, running and jumping around again, so far regaining about 80% of my old streinght and speed back but still in the process of recovery. So... can't wait to try this method too! Thank you!
Doug, how are you doing today since this video was from 2019? I do hot shower (prob 6 months now) and at then end it with 40 seconds cold. It is invigorating & empowering! After reading all of the comments, I am going to do the cold for longer time. I’ve always been healthy and hope to stay that way. I give thanks to God! Good Health is truly a gift to be appreciated!
I got a 1000 litre IBC tank put in my garden here in UK, it's amazing!!! I go in it twice per day and I love it, i don't even feel the cold at all now and my mind and body are healing.
I believe no Doctors anymore. I have a Vertigo problem no one can help me. I saw Wim Hoff and let me tell you guys, i did just the cold shower for three days now and i feel much much better. And i believe it with all my heart i will complete heal ! Thank you Wim you the greatest!!!!
Had this disease in 2012. I was only paralysed in the lower legs (plus fatigue and nerve pain). I was able to return to teaching yoga after 5 months, although full recovery took several years. It is very debilatating, (you cannot drive without the DVLA being notified for example) but Yoga, rest, breathing etc. made an enormous difference. Keep moving is the best advice I can give.
"Stimulate and stress your autonomic nervous system to be healthy" gods words right there.
I think Wim Hofs comment section is the most positive place in the internet 😁
Yeah. This and #YangGang comments sections! :)

I just got out of the hospital and told I have CIPD a chronic version Guillain-Barré . Over the last few months I have lost the ability to walk and It been awful. I am so grateful to have come across this video.
how are you doing now?
I hope you’re doing better now
Krista, we need an update, please
@@Isaax actually after this comment I got diagnosed with a rare blood dieseas called PEOMS Syndrome
@@KristaJSmith-gg2hc Damn... I am so sorry to hear that
Sat here in a cold tub crying what feels like boiled tears. What an incredible account of your experience. Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼
I had a similar experience.
In a cold creek.
Feeling the power left me in tears.
I probably looked like a lunatic.
But one with power inside.
Power greater than sadness.
I cried so much during his story😭. My mom had Gullian Barre syndrom twice and the second time I was 13 and it was very traumatic… She’s a fighter, she survived and recovered well
I had chronic IBS-D since I was a kid. Doctors ran all the blood tests and scopes, I've done diet changes, medication after medication, nothing worked and it made it worse. This method has saved my life and I couldn't be more grateful to Wim. Complete 180 degree change from where I thought my life was going and it's for the better!
Been doing cold showers/baths for 2 years. Not every day but 95% of the time. Had my first winter dip in a river in 2021 and this year I want to take it up a notch to something colder. I often come home from work and just to recalibrate, put my head under the cold tap for a minute. You don't have to be Wim Hof or someone who sits in a ice bath. I don't have the means by which to do that and so I do what I can and take outdoor opportunities when I can. The point is, you can do something and anything is better than nothing and you'll reap the benefits.
Did you ever got sick in the period of them 2 years?
Inspired, been cold shower everyday for 3 months now. Took me about a week before I could take it with ease, it's the highlight of my day, I genuinely look forward to it. My response to everything has changed. Far more laid back. Must incorporate the breathing.
I’m going to start doing this any suggestions on how to start off getting use to cold showers?
@Tori Wolf start slow. In the beginning you can start with a hot shower so your body warms up a lot and after that you gradually make it colder. Doesn't have to be really cold in the beginning. And after time you will be able to make it colder and colder. And also start with just 30 seconds cold, and then you can gradually progress up to 2-4 minutes. 2 minutes is the absolute sweetspot because at that time the body completely gets used to the cold and then you gain the most benefit from it. :)
This is the most powerful method I´ve ever experienced. Thank you Wim and thank you to all the people who spread your teachings
This is exactly what we need in tough times. You can see and feel that this man talks the truth.
At 61 I had similar problem and spent 2 months in the hospital. It has been a little over 2 years recovery at home but getting stronger. Stress will put you down so do this or anything to occupy your mind in avoiding stress. Stay well.
Since doing a small cold shower nearly every day and at least one round of the deep breathing, I have never ever been even close to sick. All my friends catch colds and small bugs, me, never. Been 3 years now.
@Deirdre Morris women and men are no different, it works on women just fine
How long are you in the cold shower for, minimum? And then do you switch it back to warm/hot...? Not sure that I could endure shampooing my head with ice cold water..
@@veneta72 corona?
Same thing with being in freezing hockey arenas every day for years, you stop feeling cold anymore and you stop getting sick.
@@veneta72 Hey it happens. But the breathing is also a big part of the immune system boost. Dont expect to never get sick just from taking cold showers.
I felt it very deeply when you yold about your son, coming to you with hope in his heart that this method could work for you. It shows the love that your son has for you. Got me crying really. Bless you and your family.
I can't find one person that said "WHM didn't work for me."
I can't even find one person that said "meh, it was alright."
But i can find thousands upon thousands who say,
"It saved my life, and changed everything for the better."
On the 4th week of his 10 week course - i have stopped smoking (no withdrawl symptons), eating sugar (no withdrawl symptons), and started running - just because i have so much energy i felt compelled to.
I can do 60 push ups on my fists without breathng.
(4 weeks ago i could do 10, and that was a 'push')
I am reading books upon books, and retaining all the information.
I am speaking elequently and able to think quickly and clearly.
And the best of all, i feel like a child again.
Despite all these amazing results, i try to spread the word to friends and work collegues who are really struggling with stress, anxiety, depression - and they don't want to know.
I'm like "The answer is right here man!" ---- i'm gonna keep workin on my cold showers sales pitch.
Dave, that is awesome. I just started WH breathing but I am looking to do the whole thing. Did you take the course online? I wondering how long it will be before we can actually take the real thing or if the online method will be good enough to get these results. Great post
@@TimOgBurger Hi Tim.
Its great that you started the breathing.
I got the 10 week classic online course. (Its about 120quid i think - worth every penny imo)
Just listen to what Wim says in the videos, and trust in him and yourself.
I'm getting all these results from doing the online course.
But my plan is to complete this course, continue the exercises every day for the rest of this year, then i will go to poland for his winter course.
But the 10 week online course is great on its own - it will really turn your life around.
After week 5 , the exercises get harder, so i repeated some weeks (which wim says do, if you haven't quite got it)
I'm now standing in the cold shower for 10 minutes, and i fee like i could stand there all day tbh.
Been swimming in the lake too (I can't wait for a dip in the lake this winter)
Good luck Tim - just get the course and stick to it - soon you'll be waking up just to jump in the cold shower - its fantastic!
Dave,, Well said . Thanks , all these testimonials are motivating , I just started 3 days ago.
Davéjàvu i know where you’re coming from, some people just don’t want to be helped.
Davéjàvu thank you for your comment, it is what I needed. I am informing myself about the method an occasionally take a cold shower already. Positive about keep going on.
Wim Hof was brought to us to help humanity fight the cabal diseases and suffering. We love you Wim. You are saving lives. Mine included. ❤️
I know that there is science behind all of this, but even if it were just psychosomatic it is still incredibly powerful. When he said “I knew I was gonna be ok” was when he started getting better. Wim Hof sped up the process.
I wish the very best to Doug and his family;thank you Wim Hof 👏
This story is so powerful! Major chills and tears forming! So amazing to hear people sharing their stories like these
Wim Hof Method changed my life. I LOVE seeing these stories from others who've also benefited! Much love.

Great story..our body has an amazing ability to cure itself..thanks for sharing your story..in the beginning I was always puzzled when I heard these kind of stories...but now I know for sure that it works..I no longer have any doubt about it..I would only add that fasting is incredibly powerful too..and maybe if you combine them together you could obtain even more benefits..greetings from Italy

Agree
Thank you Wim Hof and all the advocates. Wim Hof for life! 💚✨✨
I have been practicing the breathing techniques and cold showers for 3 years. In that time I have become stronger, healthier, significantly reduced pain from injuries and thrive on pushing my autonomic immune system further. Grant
I needed to hear this, so timely for me, thank you Wim for helping so many people who have nowhere to turn! You're such a gift, I feel everything Wim has gone through was because he was meant to be this powerful light on Earth. Thank you x a million! ♥ ♥♥
This is truly amazing, it totally works. Should be taught to everyone. God bless you, Wim ❤🙏❤🙇♂️
This is one of the most amazing testimonials I've ever watched. Man, I wish I could train with Wim directly.
go do it man
@@TheBlueskyson can't afford it
@@Lightmane be a cool road trip when travel is open again.....;-)
pure inspiration, hug from Spain.
Así es!!!, un ejemplo a seguir!!, saludos desde galicia 🙏🌹
Taking cold showers twice a day for almost 2 years didn't get sick once. Before that got sick once or twice a year...
Same here
Same
1 year now, got fever once but it was because I was drinking alcohol for 3days with my friend in cold winter nights. fever went away in one day :) so if you get sick, you will recover much faster than normally by doing this method :D
@@miika35476 Some believe in God. I, believe in Wim Hof!
Got pollen allergie and i am sick right now. But we are still human beings. Even if you do wim hof method everyday like me, in combination with cold shower. There always is a chance to get sick. Because i see a lot people thinking like, lets say if we do this. Does it mean you never get sick again? Well no. But we recover faster
Wow, Amazing story! Thanks 4 sharing w the whole World!! God Bless everyone!!! 😍♥️
2yrs now breathing method and ice baths. Changed my life❤ Thank you Wim!⚡⚡⚡
What is mentioned here as deep breathing.. is called "pranayama" in India. It is indeed known to cure many diseases, including the regular ones..cold, cough. 😊I have a auto immune disorder but I regulate mine with diet.
Pls say how, what type of diet do you follow
@@remyarenil5712 observe your body and the food you eat. Certain foods aggravate the condition. Those are the ones you need to avoid. In my case, all kinds of junk food, ones made of refined wheat, deep fried foods, etc. Eat fresh and clean.
@@08Sutapa 🙏
@@08Sutapa h
I avoid gluten, sugar, processed products, cauliflower and onions (known inflammatories).
Blessings and love to everyone practicing this method 💗💪🏻🌍🙏🏻

Good to hear that things are going well for you Doug!, The WHM is indeed very helpful. I wish you all the best :).
Greetings from the Netherlands
My mother had Guillain Barre before they really knew what it was. She ended up not being able to walk and in a wheelchair for 26 years. Today they know more about it and have better results. So happy you overcame it. 😊
I have MS and I'm down for this, starting tomorrow with cold showers and ice baths! thank you Wim for letting us know about your knowledge!
Good luck with everything!!
Hi Oliver have you found it helpful?
Has your health improved from taking the cold showers and baths? Has anything helped with treating MS? Stay strong 💪🏽
Check out the Coimbre (high Vit D3/K2) or Wahl protocol.. nutrition is a major player in recovery as well. God bless you.
@@chriswilliams7824 Seeking the same answers! Interested to know if you're experiencing any progress?
I love this guy.
His story and determination is incredibly inspiring.
Today it's been a month that I'm taking a deep breath and taking a cold shower ... what an incredible feeling :) Thanks Wim
R u still taking ? Any good feeling ?
This has given me so much inspiration for my own health journey 💪 thank you for sharing.

God bless you wim hof, since millions of public are benifitted by your technic
This video is a blessing to my life….. 👍 👍 👍
I'm 22, and 'few' years ago (around.. when I was.. what, 12?), I was diagnosed with a complicated case of a Crohn sickness, an incurable, immune system sickness. I've been trough multiple surgeries, that allowed me to "stay around" for a bit longer than that, but all of it sure didn't went without it's side effects, just like the medication that I do need to take till the end of my days. All of it is taking its toll on my body and my "abilities"(physical/traveling/working etc) are very limited. On top of all that, I have & am diagnosed with depression and strong suicidal thoughts coming along with it. But I'm trying to keep on moving forward, and to find some meaning in my life... some way to live and some way to make money for the living and work...
...And those videos here, the simple meditation & breathing exercise.. is helping me a lot.. to feel better, feel calmer, feel the anxiety that sometimes overcomes me.. weaken, feel the dark clouds of depression brighten somewhat, feel my body, my physical and mental strength be stronger. Thank You Wim Hof.
How are you doing nowadays man?
@@chemmaz Rather usual, nothing too new really, as not much has changed. Still lost, in similar state than I was before, looking for a way to live, You know.
Thanks for reaching out and asking, I wasn't expecting anyone to read the things that I've said here, and even less than that I expected a reply.
What about You? How is Your life going on Your side?
@@Sarril101 have you still continued on doing the WHM? Taking cold showers, doing the breathing technique, eating healthy, etc?
I've heard nothing but good things about the breathing technique, it seemed *too* good to be true, so I tried it out myself. I don't exactly have any apparent problems and/or ones that affect my life greatly, but wanting to take care of myself is enough of a reason to try it out. But of course, for my first ever try, I did it pretty horribly. Due to my greatest stigma, laziness, I haven't tried it out again since then, which was just a few days ago. I'm going to do it right after sending this comment, so that I don't forget to, but I digress.
Anyhow, this leads me to a question, have your results been showing any kind of improvement in your sickness and mental health, even if slightly ever so?
Hope you are doing well, you are a f@#ing legend! dont ever doubt that! there are people in this world who have everything given to them on a golden platter and are miserable. And here you are soldiering through your pain like a absolute boss!! I hope you wake up every day with a new sense of purpose because this life is a beautiful experience, and I hope you find light and happiness because you deserve it! much love to you
Have you tried celery juice? It's changing my life drastically. I follow the Medical Medium protocol where you drink 16+ ounces of fresh, pure celery juice daily. My symptoms are showing drastic improvement in just 1 week. It's pretty straightforward. If you just google it all the info is there.
God bless that man. Props to Wim Hof. Just been introduced, my journey starts today. I have an auto immune condition that debilitates my day to day life. Not as severe as the above case but I'm on prescription meds every day. My goal is to get off this medication by eliminating my inflammation (hopefully). All the best to everyone who's trying this, stay strong.
For healing and deliverance Please keep repeating this, while watching "the passion of Christ" movie: ( By the stripes and wounds of Jesus I am healed. Thank you Jesus for completely healing me)
Hello how did you get on?
Don’t expect a warm welcome . I went to shake Wim’s hand and all I got was a cold shoulder .😊
I took your joke way too literally there for a second ahahah
What an amazing person proving just how strong your spirit and mind, from the moment he got the calling to make a promise and put his mind on that. He knew he was going to be perfectly fine and he is
We just became Brothers Doug!! Love your story and can understand every bit of it( the power of love that led you to new beginning!!) Hats off Brother!
Finally something really starts making sense in this crazy world .... Thanks Wim Hof!
Old Vikings around the world showing how it's done to be healthy, happy & strong mentally.
Exactly what I was thinking. Scandinavians are no stranger to this. Well, maybe these days but god bless WH.
WOW!!! THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING!!! AMAZING!!! HEALTHY, HAPPY AND STRONG!!! 🙏🏻💓✨😇☀️🌠
God bless you and your family sir. It is truly an inspiration to hear your story
Doug is from my area, Monterey peninsula, and is well liked and highly respected!
I’m learning that the body really needs to be placed under stress to keep healthy 👍🏻
That is such an interesting comment. Please do add whatever you know so that we can learn as well 🙌
rosy singh I’ve come to learn about fasting and it’s benefits and high intensity exercise (rather than long workouts) and am now exploring cold therapy (to assist with vagus nerve toning to help my reflux). Any research you do has to make sense to you, and this does. 😊
@@kathycastrission7103 Thank you Kathy. All the best to you and I know you will do great for yourself. I am trying to fast as well. I did a 7 day water fast last year & it was a great feeling ☺

Oh my God Leah! This is the best travel video ever,I just love this!!!
Oop this comment was for HealwithLeah trip to Poland to meet Wim Hof: I MET WIM HOFF! In POLAND
So happy for you! I'm so inspired.
I was paralyzed for a year too. Thank you. I m nearly ok again
Hi good to hear you are ok, please share your method of healing because a friend of mine is paralysed from stroke so please share your approach to getting better. Much appreciated
My dad died of this same condition after getting a flu shot from Wal-Mart which set off his immune system to start attacking the nerve mylan sheaths. His mom and myself both had graves disease, another autoimmune condition. I've also loved sauna and cold water, but I need more! Thanks for thus video, you are an inspiration!
so sad.. sorry for your loss.. Having also an autoimmune disease and researched it for years. Best options are Coimbra protocol and PK diet can completely suppress your disease, but first one requires diet and second one is very strict diet.
It's so awesome !
We are build for much more than we think !
First time I saw Wim's Hof breathing techniques - in a week or so after got bronchitis . Fever already gone , but cough was still there .
I'm in a bed ...Nothing to do ...I want to try .
This cannot be explained in words .
Just 15 min breathing - third time - was able to hold my breath for 1'5 min ...Just like that ? With bronchitis ?!
Couldn't do more than 50 cek in my 20th !!!
I'm 53 .
Also a few year ago notice a crazy love for a cold water , which is plenty in Canada 🤣
Didn't do yet " ice" swimming , but , definitely on the list :)
Thank you 💟 from a the bottom of my heart
Ice Man 🙏
Warm hug from Canada 🤗
He made this old guy cry 😢. God bless
Doug, you look awesome! So glad you found a way to heal yourself.
I have started deep breathing ❤ and wow things happend ...today im going to start with cold showers .... thank you for inspiration 👍❤
What kind of things happened? 😊
That is a real wonderful, happy ending family story. Keep breathing and being strong for your family ❤️🥶🙏🏻💪
Great dude! Doing cold showers everyday for 9 months. Never gonna change it :)
Awesome, how you feeling?! Cold showers are WILD
Cold showers now for about 6 months. Dont think I'm changing back anytime soon.
Dante Monte , okay. We know you are a salesman.
@@randomvagaries5140 but have you tried the Wild Cold Springs 3000 , this baby will cure anything after 5 uses and take off 25 years of your life !
Even in the winter? When it's -35C out? Maybe at that temperature it's enough to go for a walk without a toque ;)
I have/had Guillain-Barre syndrome too - moreover, left me paralyzed just 6 months ago...today I'm walking, running and jumping around again, so far regaining about 80% of my old streinght and speed back but still in the process of recovery. So... can't wait to try this method too! Thank you!
If anyone deserves the name angel it is Wim. Thank you for all you do🙏🌸💎
Doug, how are you doing today since this video was from 2019? I do hot shower (prob 6 months now) and at then end it with 40 seconds cold. It is invigorating & empowering! After reading all of the comments, I am going to do the cold for longer time. I’ve always been healthy and hope to stay that way. I give thanks to God! Good Health is truly a gift to be appreciated!
I got a 1000 litre IBC tank put in my garden here in UK, it's amazing!!! I go in it twice per day and I love it, i don't even feel the cold at all now and my mind and body are healing.
WOW, powerful testimony. God Bless you and your great and caring family. Strong man, mentally and emotionally. Respect Sir.
Beautiful! Wish him happy and long life!!!
Wow brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing your story. What am inspiration!
Hell yeah, dude! I love this video! Thanks for keeping us educated, Wim!
I believe no Doctors anymore. I have a Vertigo problem no one can help me. I saw Wim Hoff and let me tell you guys, i did just the cold shower for three days now and i feel much much better. And i believe it with all my heart i will complete heal ! Thank you Wim you the greatest!!!!
Had this disease in 2012. I was only paralysed in the lower legs (plus fatigue and nerve pain). I was able to return to teaching yoga after 5 months, although full recovery took several years.
It is very debilatating, (you cannot drive without the DVLA being notified for example) but Yoga, rest, breathing etc. made an enormous difference. Keep moving is the best advice I can give.
Didn't hear anything mentioned about the wife and cancer. Could the method possibly be of help?
This spoke to me I have autom immune conditions and I’m not willing to accept it. Off to get started….
This is amazing. I've been doing the cold showers and breathing exercises daily. Haven't been sick since!
If you take regular cold water bath, your immunity will increase. But it has to be done carefully based on body type, climate.
good business for ice companies, Thanks WH hope all the people are healthy
The guy looked like a beast before the wim Hoff method. Now he looks unbreakable! Go get 👊
Nothing wrong with spreading the teachings and methods of Wim Hof ❤️🙏 peace and health be with you.
