What I Do When I Feel Like I'm Getting Sick
I've always been a pretty holistic person, but I have really changed my perspective on sickness over the last few years. I just really believe in the power of our body and minds to heal and think we are going about things the wrong way. I got into Wim Hof after hearing him on a podcast about 8 years ago. The timing was perfect. I was depressed and just slogging through life. He was talking about the power of oxygen to heal the body, that, and of course, cold water. I started doing the breathing exercises and I could really feel something going on in my body. Like a tingling sensation. But, like usual I stopped doing it for a while until one time I was feeling a sore throat coming on and laid in bed for about an hour doing the Wim breathing. Sore throats could usually bother me for a week or more, but after a hard core session of deep breathing, the soreness never took hold. Since then I have always done that when I feel a cold or sore throat or even a cold sore coming on. I have felt it work too many times not to believe it. And, the plunging is another aspect. As Wim often says, "Go to the cold so the cold doesn't come to you."
