This is story is one of the most inspirational healing testimony worth to be heard and spread. Doug Steiny went from being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Guillain-Barre) that would have led him from palsy to being inflammation free, stronger and more flexible then ever before and 100% symptoms free.
How did he get there?
The answer is: The Wim Hof Method. The three pillars of this method are: breathing, mindset and gradual cold exposure. Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, has gained popularity thanks to his 26 Guinness world records in relation to cold exposure. Among his major achievements, climbing mount Everest in shorts, swimming 60 meters under the ice, spending nearly 2 hours in ice without his temperature dropping down. Last but not least, he and a group he had trained, have been injected an endotoxin and through breathing and meditation, none of them developed the symptoms whereas the untrained group all showed symptoms. This study had been scientifically documented and you can find out more by clicking here.
What Wim does is proving to the world that there’s something innate in each human being that may allow us to regulate our own health. He also explains the lost connection with nature and how returning back to it, implementing the power of breathing and controlling your mind, will ultimately lead to be fully in charge of your physical and mental health.
He’s proved what the science affirmed was impossible. Could Wim represent that change in our way of living we were all waiting for?
You can find countless successful healing stories on the Internet, either following the Wim Hof method or just other holistic approaches. What it means to me, is that we should never give up in front of a diagnosis as there are infinite resources out there that perhaps have just been hidden from us.
I’ve always believed the power that has created us has gifted us with our own healing system and we should listen our inner voice when it comes to looking after ourselves. We’re simply so used to do what doctors tell us we should do and blocked communication with our bodies. A symptom is nothing else but the way of our bodies signalling that something we’re doing is wrong and we need to address it.
I believe in the importance of curing the root cause rather than silencing symptoms by relying on pharmaceuticals. With that said, meds have their place in some cases and they have indisputably saved lives, however nature has equipped us with all we need to heal naturally and holistically.
According to Louise hay “Good health is having no fatigue, having a good appetite, going to sleep and awakening easily, having a good memory, having good humour, having precision in thought and action and being honest, humble, grateful, and loving. How healthy are you?”
