Do you know the name of the “conspiracy theorist” who made those statements below?
“I am outraged by the fact that we want to vaccinate children.”
“There are epigenetic effects. We need to consider that and not just think of our own generation, but of the future.”
“This Messenger RNA that’s being injected today in vaccines, may have effects on future generations that are undetected if we aren’t searching for them.”
“We’re in unknown territory and proclaim mandatory vaccines for everyone. It’s insanity. It’s vaccination insanity that I absolutely condemn.”
“I want to say as well, that I never, never said that everyone will die from the vaccine, but that a certain amount of people who take the vaccine will suffer from it. That’s impermissible.”
“There could side effects that effect future generations as well, maybe, but most probably from our generation in five to ten years. That’s absolutely possible. Notably, something we call neurodegenerative illness.”
“There are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”
His name is Luc Montagnier. Professor Luc Montagnier, an eminent virologist who also happens to be the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

-the mind (stillness, composure, patience, self-confidence, etc)
I'm ABSOLUTELY confident that my book will make breath-holding the next big thing, not because it's in itself new, but because of a different and NOVEL way to understand and practice it.
Before anyone mentions "Wim Hof Method"...my book will also explain:
-why a single drill is not a breath-holding "method" and why a one-size-fits-all exercise isn't that a good idea.
-the pros, but also the CONS (actual health risks) of the WHF drill that few people talk about.
This morning I’m remembering the long path it took to be able to enjoy what I enjoy today. The patience, commitment, the mistakes, the frustration, the hard choices, the work…
So much could be said. I remember working in a car factory, renting a 85 sq. ft room with a shared bathroom because I couldn’t afford anything better. I remember 2 decades of sentimental solitude. I remember being in several aspects a social outcast.
Nothing that I enjoy on my life today was given to me, not by people that is. It was all patiently earned, it was all patiently created and build.
So at least a 100 of you really want to reach that 10 mark, or do so with comfort? I can help you achieve that, by share with you both tips (practical stuff to do) and insights (understanding) that will both UNLOCK your untapped potential. Let’s GO!
There’s physiological aspects to this kind of performance as well psychological ones. Physiological aspects have to do with how your body responds, psychological ones with how your mind responds.
Both aspects matter and they’re in fact intertwined. Let’s start with physiology. Adapting physiologically to prolonged breath holds takes at least days, weeks, months and even years depending on the level you want to reach.
For untrained people, hypercapnia - a buildup of CO2 leading to blood acidosis caused by the temporary absence of exhalation - is the limiting factor in their ability to prolong a breathhold; the urge to breathe happens long, minutes before the brain starts lacking oxygen.
For me it is hypoxia, a significant desaturation of oxygen blood levels, that’s the limiting factor leading to my breaking point.
This is particularly evident when I transition from sea level training to altitude training.
Here in New Mexico I train dry static apnea (prolonged breathholding) at 2500 meters/8500 feet of altitude.
My breaking point is at 3’45” instead of being at nearly 7 minutes at sea level.
A direct purpose drives the movements of animals. Unless they’ve been trained for circus shows, their movement is by default practical and inherently natural.
A thread...
Modern humans often exclusively pursue indirect, superficial objectives like muscle size, weigh loss; they let machines, programs, trends dictate their physical behaviors then call it "workout" because it’s indeed comparable to some labor you’re forced to do.
Those photos show the same body, my body. Different abdominal contractions, shapes and looks. -photo 1 is how abs briefly contract when you jump, or hang while tucking knees upward.
-photo 2 is an oblique contraction when doing a powerful rotational movement from the hip.
This video sample starts seconds before the last minute countdown which tells me 5 minutes have past. Diaphragm is tense, soon turning into a first spasm. Notice the hard contraction at about 5’25”, which is 40” sooner than normal.
There’s a psychophysiological cause to this.
Normally in a typical practice session I immediately experience a “vagal high” as the breathhold start, then a “vagal dream” (all related to the cardiac vagal tone or CVT), delving into profound self-induced relaxation for minutes.
This time it did not happen. But why?
It was my 1st time filming my breathhold and it understandably made me overly self-conscious. I looked at my heart rate before starting and it was high in the 80’s range, abnormally high as it normally would be in the low 50’s.
