Agree, agree, agree. I'm not sure when it happened, but now I notice my regular breathing pattern is that of box breathing. I used to practice it while doing yoga, and then pushed it further to practice it when climbing stairs, and now it appears to be a part of me. It helps increase lung capacity, and I envision my cells getting an extra hit of oxygen. Alternating between cold and hot is a great way to stimulate and "exercise" the lymphatic system, and my face always feels awesome after a brisk day outside guaranteed. As for intermittent fasting, I used to do again just for practice, for times that maybe resources would be strained, like survival mode, or just because I was so absorbed in something, I would forget to eat. Glad to see research that backs up my "life" knowledge of doing things that just seem right or situations that just come up when we don't always have a grocery store or restaurant at our disposal.

Inspiring essay and helpful advice. Hopefully will spur me into healthy living again. Rucking? I haven't heard of it...

Put some weight in a backpack or a weighted vest and just walk "long distance". Long distance is different to everyone. 2 miles can be long for some, etc.

Months 😳are you going into the sauna? Should only take days unless your body is getting rid of something. Good going.

My body was getting rid of a lot of somethings for quite a while =).

Same, I was stationed at Fort McClellan, AL for 3 years. It has effectively been closed as a toxic waste dump. I have agent orange exposure while in the US

Pedantic comment: It is "Wim Hof", not Whin Hof or Win Hof.

Great article, it definitely is old wisdom and always relevant. Thanks for the positive note and the ring of potentiality for recovery. God Bless.

Paulo, alguma dica pra amenizar os efeitos do fumaceiro que está acontecendo em Manaus? A cidade está toda tomada de fumaça devido as queimadas nas florestas ao redor, o clima de verão intenso também não ajuda. Poucas áreas da cidade com arborização, poucos parques... tá foda.

Humidifocador, e mascara se tiver alergias fortes, mas de resto só o deixar o ambiente com maior umidade.

Se tiver ar condicionado, deixar a casa fechada ajuda um pouco. Mas como não temos HVAC no Brasil, não é uma escolha perfeita, mas mitiga a irritação, etc.

I’ve been doing cold showers for a couple of years now and make an effort to swim in the sea on holiday in winter ( sea was 10’C) for a week, but I’ve only tried the WimHof breathing a couple of times. I was tentative the first time but a bit more enthusiastic the second time. I wore an oxygen saturation monitor and noted my sats went down to 50% for the last breath hold! The reason I haven’t done it since is because I then had two episodes of scintillating scotoma each lasting half an hour within the next three hours. I think I’ve heard Andrew Huberman talk about how hyperventilating causes vasoconstriction in the brain and as I’ve had a cerebellar stroke (mild problem with balance in certain positions) at some unknown point in the past (maybe during childbirth or pregnancy), and a TIA (causing a numb hand and face) thought to be due to a large PFO I am not keen on vasoconstricting any part of my brain! I do a lot of yoga breathing exercises that increase the parasympathetic side, but feel sad to hear that I may not be lowering inflammation enough.

As I often say, very bluntly, do whatever works for you. I really don't care what "the evidence" says, if it works for you, that is all that matter. Even if I say X, you try Y, and Y works for you and not X, you shouldn't care about whatever what I said.

To that effect, proteolytic enzymes, such as serrapeptase and nattokinase are incredibly helpful to recover from that condition (I had a brain clot not long ago). I am a clot machine basically, but different breathing techniques helped me. Adapt the breathing to what works for you, it will still work.

I don't know who Huberman is lol sorry

Andrew Huberman lab, yoube channel, he's a neuroscientist & ophthalmologist, professor at Stanford(?), and does a ot of vlogs about a variety of topics he digs into, also sometimes with guests who are experts in other fields.

He has also done some things about cold and heat exposure.

Thanks. Since I don't listen or watch "intellectual" content (I much prefer reading it), I am fairly oblivious to a lot of content creators that produce science stuff.

A couple of people on twitter have been talking about Cayenne pepper breaking up clots. I think a half teaspoons per day was recommended. No study was referenced, and I haven't had a chance to research further. But might be interesting to track down. Just a thought.

When it comes to COVID/mRNA clots you need the enzymes, because of what they are made of. That may be a interesting avenue to try, and test, perhaps taking together with the enzymes but the enzymes are a must from my experience.

My Brother naively took 2 poison shots. Ny Nephew and I got him started on NAC and nattokinase a few months back. We recently had a family tragedy. He sat in car for 6 hours no break. He threw 2 clots into his lungs. He’s alive. I believe tge NAC and nattokinase might be the reason.

I believe so too. I would recommend adding serrapeptase with the narrow for a few weeks . The only reason I am alive is because I was taking serrapeptase while unknowingly having a big clot inside. It minimized the damage.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had him start with NAC, nattokinase, and lumbrokinase. Drop the lumbrokinase and add serrapeptase? I started him on this originally based on your articles. Thank you!

Thanks!

They didn't specifically mention covid/mRNA. I think they were mostly interested in heart attacks and possibly strokes. Foolishly, I thought a clot was a clot.

A clot was just a cloth until recently. And to heart attacks I read something similar years ago, and if you avoid heart attacks you will be indirectly avoiding clots long term :)

Thanks! I don't feel quite so foolish. And thanks for always being so nice when you correct us.

Sounds like a great reason to avoid heart attacks!!!!

Without the context of the pathways I have written about, it will feel "little empty" but hopefully it helps them, incentivoze them to exercise. Literally the best thing anyone should be doing.

Great post! Love it!

When you get your spa/healing retreat with protocols like you are describing, I will definitely enroll. Sometimes, doing Niacin flush in group setting makes it a little bit more bearable.

There is a book called Niacin: The Real Story. Updated. Special use for long covid. Any amount is good. I used to flush with the 25 mg that was in my vitamins some days when out in the suns radiation all day. You start with 25 mg. Until you don’t flush leave it there. Get into a sauna, that helps. Try to get it at least to 500 mg and keep it there.

I take 125, sometimes (rarely) 250 mg. I stopped flushing with 125 after.... 6, 7 months I think.

My state is already a giant sauna didn't help much T_T lol

You could slowly raise your niacin until there’s no flush,.....maybe some with exercise . Wim Hof.

From my experience, the flush is closely related to how fast your body absorbs the niacin than anything else, so to minimize I take it with food, but with time your body will develop a tolerance to the flush effect.

Win Hof will potencialize the flush to a nasty level 😆 I hate "finding it out" myself.
