"Wim Hof Method" gave me the ability to take back control"
Hi, my name's Matt.
I'm a songwriter and small business owner from Newton Abbot in Devon
I got into contact just to say thank you
For everything that's happened in my life over the last few months, I was really sick.
I was diagnosed with Lichen Planopilaris, which is an auto-immune disease.
They put me on a prescription for Hydroxychloroquine.
Which is a quite a strong medication.
They normally use the tablets to treat Malaria
But what is the side effect of that is they suppress your immune system.
The drawback of that obviously, is that you can't control how much you suppress.
Within like a week that made me really sick!
I was just out of breath, like walking up hills, I was coughing up blood.
It wasn't great! And they told me just to *just take it out*? and see if the side effects would go away.
I just took it out for about another three weeks, and it didn't go away.
And at that point I was pretty fed up so, I just i started to practice the Wim Hof Method
Luckily!
I had the blood tests done after three months
And as far as they're concerned, they think I don't have an auto-immune disease now.
I need to go again, just to make sure and double-check.
Like, they weren't really sure what i'd done
And when I told them, they didn't really seem overly interested
But they were surprised.
But at the same time, I think it's not something that they can treat with medication.
Yeah, they don't see it as a real treatment, even though it's clearly worked for me.
So, maybe they need to like, be more open-minded.
I practice the Wim Hof Method every day!
I just feel like I've got a lot, more energy and I feel a lot more
Relaxed, I don't have the anxiety that I used to.
I used to suffer from really bad depression as well and that's ...
I don't really experience that anymore.
Really, Wim just gave me the ability to take back control and
It was a point in my life where I didn't really feel like I had much control
Because I was looking at a illness that I didn't really understand a
And I was being told by all these
All these doctors that I needed to take this medication that was making me really sick.
And I just didn't really feel like I had any control
At that point in time it wasn't looking good because if i had to take two
Between 2 and 3 years off, it wasn't gonna work out.
Things are looking really good and I owe that to Wim.
I'd recommend the Wim Hof Method because it's really life transforming
And it allows you to take back control.
And yeah, just live life to the fullest.
