people for 15 minutes Guinness World

Records running half a marathon to start

with

barefood uh Beyond polar Circle mid

January we got the uh standing in the

ice in full body contact with ice

immersed up till the night

encased it started in Paris I did a half

hour 12 days later I did it in uh Los

Angeles Universal Studios for 1 hour and

from there I got to be invited to go to

Paris to London to Beijing to Tokyo to

all these places I I forgot to count and

like 18 times I broke it every time one

minute why I could have have broken it

with 10 minutes or half hour but I did

it I'm not a fool I got to be invited to

break the existent world record and then

I did 1 Hour 1 minute 1 Hour 2 minutes

this is the way I got to see the whole

white World

amazing meanwhile I did different

records Guin World Records challenges as

well like swimming under the

ice 50 m 57 and 1 12

M it all started in

99 and that is after I did many

challenges already so I was very very

well trained you can't do these things

just like that I mean I was into these

crazy ideas because I my body was ready

to execute what I was thinking before

there is more than meets the eye only my

body was now shaped up to be the

extension of my mind so

99 I got acquainted with the television

Billy

BR who was a reporter and a presentator

of his show challenged me then he found

out I'm not full of I'm the real

deal and he took me to the all these

challenges hey when can you swim under

the eyes in the night darkness of

Finland in deep freezing temperatures

are you able to do that I said yes I can

do that I did 7 m under the eyes which

was

spectacular at that time and when it was

all done we were sitting having a dinner

and then he told me hey 7 me but I can

do 50

m and he said yes in 3 months we will be

back here and we're going to do 50

m horizontal swim just in shorts

breath and we did it even then the

Guinness World Records did not was not

in play we never asked for that but they

came to us because they saw that I did

50 m horizontal swim in my shorts beyond

the polar Circle in winter time and they

found out hey but we are get world

record we need to get onto him so they

acknowledged that to be after it all was

done to be a world record I thought if

that is a world record I can do more

then I went into 57 half M then I went

into half hour fully encased in ice in

Paris guine World

Records I remember I got the telephone

call wh can you do this world record is

standing in the ice

and yes of course yeah I had little

money I well oh yeah of course I want to

do this yes yeah let me and the phone

call was in June in the Netherlands it's

not called in June in July and August

and September it's not cold at all so I

had no training this I was confronted

with my mind there but I already had

said yes because I was in need to do

this and to get this and and then I

found out just by being in fear focusing

your mind only because I had no money

for ice cubes and and getting and

they're all done and trained like I do

normally in winter in four months time I

was so riled up just by using my mind

that September H in Madrid that that was

the most easiest record of all time and

that's where I started to believe in the

power of the

mind every time you do a world record

you are anxious you are you got to be

ready 100% motivated not only the body

needs to

respond to show something never been

done if my object objective is to show

that there is more that meets the eye

and that we all are capable of doing

that and because I got the attention of

the world doing all these records like

running beyond the polar Circle

marathons or on 5,000 meter Mount

Everest

Barefoot I I endured I endured and

suffered cold injuries but I did it

because I wanted to do and to show that

we are are capable of so much more and

that let up to doctors looking in the

night to the to documentary hey the

Iceman he is running a full Marathon

barefoot outside in the snow beyond the

polar Circle and freezing temperatures

what is this this I'm a physiologist I

see this and this is not possible by

normal uh human uh scientific

understanding and standards but here's

doing it so I got the attention of the

uh scientific world and they started to

do research on me first on me as a

person and then we started to do

comparative

studies after I did a full record in

short beyond the polar Circle a full

Marathon uh I got it that I did all the

things I did swimming I did running I

did climbing I did all the things the

call now let me go into the heat so half

a year later I had it

organized together with the physiologist

to Namibia and run in the sausage BL

desert uh I had two coffee and just

started to run and for 42 km which is 26

miles I think without drinking any water

when I was running and losing 5.2 2 L of

water are

transpiring sweating but my core body

temperature remained the same that means

what I did in the court was learning how

to deal with temperature with stress and

it also worked in the heat was

amazing climbing Mount Karo with 26

people with all kinds of conditions like

a throat arthrosis cancer Crohn's

disease asthma 26 people and they all

did it in less than two days and this

was considered to be impossible but we

did it anyway we defied normal thinking

of what

physiologists experts doctors told us

before we went we did it anyway and we

did it one day faster than we had

planned and it was just amazing these

people found out breathing differently

and believing differently is thinking

differently he's finding out that you

actually have much more power within you

to defy physiological laws soall stated

by signs we did that less than two days

Kil majar 26 people

amazing here in the Netherlands we set

out together with the television and I

came up with this challenge let's go

with thousand people Barefoot for 1

kilometer on the ice rink in fre which

is very well known uh for the speed

cting competitions of the world they are

very good at it but this was unorthodox

we did it and amazing how beautiful it

is when all these people come together

it's like the nature binds the people

once again as an energy that comes

together was big fun and

power then another record was uh I've

been called up by the Cancer Foundation

to do a world record to raise as much uh

money possible through setting a record

with 600 people in ice emerging for 2

minutes coming in getting out 50 people

coming in in and out in and I I was like

encouraging motivating them I was being

there and

uh yeah and I didn't go into the eyes

it's too cold for

me we doubled that record of now from

600 people to 1,500 people for 2 minutes

we did that organized ourselves in uh

Sydney in Australia in and out for 2

minutes, 1500 people that was another

one then record imagine never been done

hey let's do two hot air balloons bind

them to each other and go up there in in

the sky at one mile in February in

between and then hang in a ring for uh

26

seconds what a a

left stop him pay yeah

I that is another thing which was never

been done every time I do a a record

something Unthinkable of not thought of

before it's amazing to get out of the

box what we think is

possible B he's putting the time so when

you are ready just tell I'm ready then

it was a guy asking me when you drink

beer so well no I say it's yellow

water I me I'm not a puran but I got

control over myself because I've been

defying all fears and challenging myself

throughout my life I will show you what

is control I will in 1 half hour will go

outside and stand for 3 hours barefoot

in a horse stand 3 hours Barefoot in the

snow outside January yes yes yes yes he

said he said But first you need to get

me a beer and he got me a beer so fast

boom half hour later I was outside 3

hours horse STS amazing you know what is

even more amazing all the people who

were present there in the ret treat they

came outside to help me to stand behind

me and some guys did it 1 hour and 1 and

a half hour and 2 hours amazing if you

show people when you get out of the box

when you challenge your fears when you

show what's really a control all about

in your own mind then suddenly people

are able to have faith in that and to

connect with their bodies and being able

to do

unimaginable amazing

feats this is what I saw and experienced

it was

[Applause]

amazing

another record in the Baltic Sea January

in Poland uh 1500 people for a quarter

of an hour really cold these Polish

people they are

strong another record organized as an

official guine world record in the Hall

of Poland all the H Russ clubs m

Vania it's that that's in Polish morania

means go as a wall Ros in in the cold

water because I did all these things I

got invited to lead and motivate people

in this case with 2,000 people in Poland

in uh Poland to do a organized uh effort

uh organized Guinness World Record

setting in froma only ony to stay for

the longest with

2,000 people coordinated

communicated now we go and they went to

in all the waterfalls in Poland all

together 2000 people well done don't

know how long it but it was a record to

do with 2,000 people at least 5 minutes

all in the end it's not about the

records yeah records is nice also for

the people to participate hey you are

part of a a world record so your world

record holder that you know it gives

people wow I did that that's what people

want to hear but actually you can't beat

a world record you can't beat somebody

else but you can be the best of yourself

and that's what the whole method is all

about it's not about records it's about

hey who are you within the depth of

yourself that's the best it's

unconditional it's here and now boom are

you

there when why did you risk your life

trying to set or break all these World

Records it's all in the anend

symbolical it's to draw the attention

and I got the attention because because

scientists also watch television they

saw me doing things that was abnormal

out of the box not understood autonomic

nervous system

endotoxemia all came there from and and

that's what we need because I am a firm

believer that we can find any solution

of problems we have right now in nature

and in the end it is our inner

nature that's why I did these records

and I keep on doing it challenging it

but I don't need it anymore yet I'm

every day in the cult because I believe

what I do and I feel what I believe this

is my pathway the most valuable thing I

got out of this all is to make to to

have a method a method which is

accessible effective powerful and

scientifically

endorsed to give it to you which is uh

enabling the people to wake up to their

inner power everybody has his own his

own unique way the cold and the

breathing and the believing therefore

are able to give you back what is
