No if I thought that I would have said something else. He's lying and knows it and people have died because they believed him and he continues to lie. I said what I said and I stand by it.


What is he lying about? I’ve read his book, taken his course, and practiced his method daily for many years. He is quite straightforward that it has risks, and extensively discusses safety and things to mitigate those risks. He also warns people against repeating his extreme stunts- the most dangerous thing in his classes is a 2-3 minute ice cold bath in a bath tub at home- something also regularly done by athletes in most sports. The breathing exercises are never done in or near water.

People can teach things that are risky to consenting adults they understand risks- driving, freediving, hang gliding, and having a sedentary desk job are all far riskier activities than WHM that I also choose to do…. They could all kill me but I sure won’t blame the instructors I learned from.
