Nobody is claiming he's special or that he invented this, especially him. And yeah these benefits may in fact be a side effect and not central to the whole spiritual journey you could go on but that doesn't resonate a lot in the West and probably closes the door to a lot of us if that's how it is first framed. Going at it this way personally worked as an intro and has made me more receptive to the bigger picture you allude to which is a place I never would have got to without Wim Hof first convincing me to try.
