Iceman

If you frequent this blog then based on my typical content you probably expected a 9/11 post today.  Sorry, not today but here's some old ones in case you're disappointed.....
9/11 and the THREE buildings that collapsed
and
9/11: A Conspiracy Theory

Instead here's a documentary about a Dutchman called Wim Hof.  This is a man who has climbed Everest and Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts and shoes, ran a marathon in the high altitude Namib Desert in 50°C heat without any food or water, holds 20 Guinness World records for withstanding extreme temperatures such as being submerged in ice for 1 hour 53 minutes without his core body temperature changing at all, oh and ran another marathon above the polar circle in Finland in -20°C wearing only shorts..... barefooted.

He uses a breathing technique now known as 'The Wim Hof Method' to consciously control his immune system, and is currently working with a group of scientific researchers to prove that he is not superhuman because anyone can do this.  He also believes his methods can cure most diseases.

Sounds worth watching yes?  Right, I'm off now to go and meditate and do some heavy breathing.....
Enjoy!
