Deep breathing! I started this and am absolutely in love with the results: greater clarity of mind, more feeling alive, more energetic. I had a minor problem of clearing my throat every few minutes: gone!

My concentration has improved as well. I'm able to code with better results and fewer errors.

While some could say that these results (and more) are all in my head - they would be absolutely right! I do feel better about myself, much better.

The specific method I use is the Wim Hof Method. Google this and notice he has over 20 world records. While he has a course for sale, youtube has many videos that cover all aspect of his technique.

Wim Hof has scientific proof that he can control his immune system. More importantly, he is not a freak and can teach others to achieve the same results.

My wife has cancer. We both do deep breathing exercises three times a day. She reports that chemo symptoms become much less severe after breathing. We have become driven to continue this practice due to her condition. I am so glad to have found this technique.

Disclaimer: I am not associated with the Wim Hof Method in any way and receive no compensation for this note.




I'm really sorry your wife has cancer. I hope she recovers fully. I'm going to try and incorporate this method into my life.
