Ice Proof Man
E1 Nov 23, 2013 30m
Freezing conditions and deadly disease have claimed the lives of men of various abilities. Wim Hoff, however, possesses a special talent. This man, through meditation and mental focus, has shown a remarkable gift for surviving cold and illness alike. Moreover, he believes in his ability to train others to possess similar powers.
Hoff claims to have mastered a talent for “switching off” his body’s natural reaction to cold, and manipulating his own immune system. Through careful focus and meditation, Hoff believes that life-saving hormones can be secreted to keep an individual alive. Could this be possible?
Alongside host Tyler Harcott, scientists put Hoff’s tremendous abilities to the test. By submerging him in an icebox at -19°C, and injecting him with a lethal disease, experimenters attempt to determine if Wim Hoff truly possesses superhuman gifts.
