A member asked:
Is it safe for someone who was initially diagnosed with epilepsy in childhood, and who has been seizure free and off medication for 20, 15 years, respectively, practice the wim hof method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From what I can tell, the "wim hof method" appears to be one of many latest gimmicks, and some of it seems reasonable, some a little on the edge, but this is NOT a health breakthrough. If you have been seizure-free for 15-20 yrs, and have no profound physical or emotional diseases, I would not limit you in any way, other than advise, be careful and safe.
