Conquering Crohn's Disease | Wim Hof Method
Ойын-сауық
For years, Hans tried in vain to keep symptoms of his Crohn’s condition in check. As the treatments got more severe, their efficacy remained low.
At wits end he found Wim Hof, and from his first encounter with the breathing and cold, Hans knew he had found the antidote he was looking for. His consistent practice slowly beat the condition into remission. With his health returned and the worry off his shoulders, Hans now pays it forward as a WHM instructor.

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2017 and immediately put on biologics. In 2021 they appeared to be failing for the second time. Got off all meds and buckled down on The Method. I am now 16 months medication-free and on the road to healing. This is the way.

I had Crohn's disease for years and it went untreated for a long time. was on those biologicals for three years and then I finally decided that I had had enough. the medication helped take me from dying to living again but I couldn't live with my doctors lifelong prescription. Then I found whim and others (meditation in general) and now I have been off my meds for 3 years+! It is so empowering to see the success of others too!

I strongly support that message. I believe in it because i experienced similar improvement with the Wim Hof breathing. Crohn diagnosis 1991, medicine could only treat symptoms but never the root cause. Therefore i fast got off the drugs and have tried several alternative healing methods. To make a long story short. For me the break through has been glutenfree, lowFoodmaps food and Wim Hof breathing. I started cold showers but just recently...

Now 5 weeks into cold showers and started with the breathing I take half my medication and very very very mild to NON symptoms. Im very very happy and can recommend to this this! In his book he shows the following build up towards cold exposure first week: 15 seconds Second week: 30 seconds third week: 1 minute fourth week; 2 minutes I always start with hot shower Good luck!

Damn... I wish I heard about this(and about Wim Hof) when I was in elementary school (it's when my Crohn's disease 'woke up' for me). This definitely could've helped me, but now it's too late for me (since I had to have my lower intestines cut out of me, which won't grow back, and a lot of immune systems live there. Plus I'm very thin and seem to be unable to get it to change, so I really don't know if I should do cold baths. I do try to do the breathing exercise tho, and I need try to do it more often.) But no matter. Either way, thank you for sharing this, I really hope it will help someone, make many more people actually conquer the Crohn's disease and become free of it before it gets too bad for them. Much love Wim, You're an incredible person.

Exposure should be incremental. Start slow, progressively but be consistent. Cold exposure to me can be dangerous to me because of arterial issues (im only 30 but you get the cards youre dealt), however I still go through my ice baths 3-4 times a week while I can given the circumstances. Consistency is key here, your body needs it. Start a strict regiment and stick to it while monitoring your progress. I guarantee you wont regret it ! I saw an elderly lady (in her 60s) do it for 4mins, I think its fair to say we need to push ourselves a little sometimes :)

Me diagnosticaron Crohn hace 8 años, tomé altas dosis de corticoides, azatioprina y luego empecé con los biológicos(ustekinunab primero y adalimumab después). Todos en su momento aplacaron mis crisis pero los efectos secundarios a largo plazo terminaban siendo igual de malos que la enfermedad misma, e incluso después de un tiempo tampoco me servían para el Crohn ya que volvía a recaer (por eso tantos cambios). Hace unos 7/8 meses que encontré el método y hace 5 meses que estoy sin medicación, sin brotes, reduciendo efectos secundarios de la vieja medicación y sientiendome cada día mejor.

I have been researching your technique in reference to bipolar disorder which can be viewed as a auto immune disorder also. While in mania I used the technique to great success in coming out of the episode. My theory is that hypoxia is related to delusional and psychotic states. Also pro-inflammtory cytokines are elevated in bipolar and shown to be reduced after practicing the technique. Would be very interested in your thoughts on this.

I am diagnosed with a severe case of EPI (exocrine pancreas insufficiency), which impedes the optimal absorption of nutrients. My therapist (who is very good and has helped me a lot) told me that it may be the case that I will have to take enzymes for this for this, because apparently the enzyme production can not be recovered. I was wondering if anyone has had similar issues and at best has even experienced first hand how you could potentially regulate your pancreas once more. May the WHM even be the key here as well? Been starting to practise it and am hopeful that it might also positively affect this organ as well? :) Help me out plsssssss!
