On March 23rd, 2013, twenty-four scientific study participants were injected with a strain of bacteria that normally induces violent sickness for days on end. This time, however, none of the twelve people who were trained in the\u00a0Wim Hof Method<\/a>\u00a0experienced any ailment whatsoever.<\/p>\n The other twelve, the untrained control group, were left to shiver and suffer.<\/p>\n The follow up of that first study on Wim is now published\u00a0in the prominent scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). They studied his method,\u00a0a practice consisting of third-eye meditation, cyclic hyperventilation followed by breath retention and cold exposure. (You can read part of the method here.<\/em>)<\/p>\n The research suggests everyone, with sufficient training, can modulate their immune response. In the study they took 24 healthy young volunteers and injected them with a dead strain of bacteria Escherichia coli,\u00a0<\/em>provoking a strong immune reaction. The results were amazing.<\/p>\n Hitherto, both the autonomic nervous system and innate immune system were regarded as systems that cannot be voluntarily influenced. The present study demonstrates that, through practicing techniques learned in a short-term training program, the sympathetic nervous system and immune system can indeed be voluntarily influenced.\u00a0-PNAS<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThey had learned what it takes from 20-time World Record holder Wim Hoff, the first person to show that humans can consciously control their immune system.<\/h2>\n
