> The guy climbs mountains in just his underwear and shorts, can ward off a cold using his mind and this way of breathing, held the world records for distance under ice and sitting submerged in a tub of ice water. He teaches others to do these things very quickly. Women want him and men want to be him. I'm still not being fanatical ok? This guy is the real deal. This sounds really fanatical, especially when you say you want to give someone something "real and objective". Real and objective is more than personal experiences and a case study of 1. We need diverse, well-considered studies in a controlled setting.

  > give it a try, what could it hurt The same can and has been said for essential oils, fat-only diets, and homeopathic dilutes. "What can it hurt" is a terrible justification, especially in the field of psychiatric disorders. "What can it hurt?" Alot.

    Ok, I'll bite, what CAN it hurt? Seriously, I didn't make a comment about essential oils, fat-only diets or homeopathic dilutes. While you are correct that the same CAN be said for these, you should note that the same WAS NOT SAID BY ME. I posted regarding spending 5 minutes a day on breathing excersises.

      I posted similar. And the only thing I'd caution is don't do the breathing exercise while driving or near water. There's a rare potential to faint if you do it wrong. And nobody is suggesting to replace existing approaches for ADHD with breathing exercises. It's just another tool to consider and try for focus or physical exertion. The funny thing is there's lots of credible science with Wim Hof if you care to Google. But what's the point when it's so accessible, harmless and easy to just validate a claim for yourself?

Look, if you can do twenty pushups max then that is a hard fact that won't change much over a week. Now if through a breathing exercise you can go and pump out 34 that would be extraordinary and something impressive. I'm telling you that this kind of gain is actually possible for you right now if you try it. Go ahead, give it a try and report back.
