Not to discount those studies, but it's best to look outside of the main website for a balanced view. If there were ten studies showing the Wim Hof method works, and five hundred showing it doesn't, which studies do you think wimhofmethod.com would choose to link to? This is why you need to find an unconnected source. For example: https://www.webmd.com/balance/wim-hof-breathing-technique https://www.webmd.com/balance/wim-hof-breathing-technique Reading through that gives the more expected info: studies are mostly inconclusive and of small sample size.

From your own link: > Two studies have had significant, promising results. One had a small group of people practice the technique for eight weeks while they prepared to travel to Antarctica. They didn’t find significant chemical changes, but that may be due to the small sample size. They did, however, find that people’s reported stress levels and depressive symptoms had significantly decreased thanks to the technique. > Another study injected people with E. coli endotoxin. Those who had been practicing the Wim Hof technique had fewer symptoms and better overall immune responses than those who hadn’t. This isn't a case of there being no there there. More studies would be great but let's not pretend this is woo. Your link also doesn't show that there are many studies the Wim Hof website are ignoring, so that's a really weird point to try and make. Would you prefer that I link to some other collection of the same exact links?
