1
00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:04,667
My name is Doug Steiny and I’m here at the Wim Hof workshop in San Francisco.
2
00:00:04,667 --> 00:00:07,633
I wanted to share my story on how I got here.
3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,001
Getting the sauce ready.
4
00:00:14,001 --> 00:00:14,867
Woo!
5
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:18,834
In 2014 I was getting through a very difficult time at home.
6
00:00:18,834 --> 00:00:23,433
My wife had cancer and it was a very stressful situation.
7
00:00:23,433 --> 00:00:28,233
So unbeknownst to me that had taken a big toll on my immune system.
8
00:00:28,233 --> 00:00:30,133
A lot of stress.
9
00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:33,166
My son at that time brought home whooping cough.
10
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:37,001
Now whooping cough in and of itself isn’t such a big deal but...
11
00:00:38,367 --> 00:00:40,467
if my wife would get it it would be a big deal.
12
00:00:40,633 --> 00:00:44,533
So we sort of had to quarantine her
13
00:00:44,533 --> 00:00:48,000
and then I got to cough for three months.
14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,200
So the compromised immune system and the whooping cough were a train wreck.
15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,166
Through a series of events a friend of mine who is a doctor said
16
00:00:58,166 --> 00:01:00,500
“You’re not looking that good, Doug."
17
00:01:00,934 --> 00:01:03,834
and insisted that I would get to the hospital to get checked.
18
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:08,367
That was at 5 o’clock on a Friday evening and I remember it well.
19
00:01:08,367 --> 00:01:09,867
As you can imagine.
20
00:01:11,066 --> 00:01:14,800
By 5 o’clock the next morning I was completely paralysed .
21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,467
I had an auto immune disorder called Guillain-Barre which
22
00:01:20,467 --> 00:01:23,100
eats the myeline sheath of your nerves…
23
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:24,467
It’s like Multiple Sclerosis.
24
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:27,367
It starts in your feet and goes up your legs...
25
00:01:27,367 --> 00:01:28,500
gets to your body.
26
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:33,533
Either shuts it off and you die you’re in for a long haul.
27
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,033
My diagnosis was a 50/50 chance of permanent paralysis.
28
00:01:39,033 --> 00:01:43,100
And the recovery is 18 to 24 months.
29
00:01:43,633 --> 00:01:47,133
That’s the best thing that can happen and there’s no cure.
30
00:01:47,133 --> 00:01:49,667
So I’m laying in this hospital bed.
31
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:51,700
Paralysed.
32
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,367
Couple days later they let my 11 year old daughter come in.
33
00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:58,333
And that’s where I really feel the journey began.
34
00:01:58,333 --> 00:01:59,467
Because…
35
00:01:59,467 --> 00:02:01,600
Of course she was terribly frightened.
36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800
With big tears in her eyes she said
37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,066
“Oh my god daddy, are you gonna be ok?"
38
00:02:07,066 --> 00:02:10,000
And I said “Yeah honey, your daddy is gonna be ok."
39
00:02:11,433 --> 00:02:12,600
And then she said...
40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,133
"But daddy..."
41
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:15,734
“You'll have to promise me."
42
00:02:16,433 --> 00:02:19,467
"Because I’ll know you’ll never break a promise."
43
00:02:19,467 --> 00:02:20,934
And I did.
44
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,001
And I promised her.
45
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:28,000
And from that second on I knew that I was going to be ok.
46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,233
I never questioned it and I was never worried for half a second.
47
00:02:32,233 --> 00:02:35,033
I didn’t think I was going to float out of there.
48
00:02:35,033 --> 00:02:39,133
And I knew was in for a long haul but I knew what was gonna be at the other end of it.
49
00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:40,934
So I was up for the fight.
50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,133
So after about a month they sent me home. There’s nothing you can do.
51
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:50,500
It’s really difficult at home and my wife was finished with her chemo
52
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,200
but it’s just not pretty.
53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,066
Fifteen year old son.
54
00:02:55,734 --> 00:02:58,266
Watching his dad wobble around like...
55
00:02:58,266 --> 00:02:59,900
You know...
56
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,633
Can’t walk.
57
00:03:01,633 --> 00:03:05,100
About four months later he comes bouncing out of his room one time.
58
00:03:06,001 --> 00:03:08,200
And he says “Dad there’s this guy."
59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,700
“He does all this stuff and his immune system is so strong he can’t get sick."
60
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,767
Now I know that’s not exactly true.
61
00:03:14,767 --> 00:03:16,767
But that’s how he interpreted it.
62
00:03:16,767 --> 00:03:18,133
But what he’s saying is
63
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:21,867
“Dad you’ve got an immune system problem…”
64
00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:24,934
“And if you do all this stuff you might get better and I want you to get better."
65
00:03:24,934 --> 00:03:26,200
That’s the way I took it.
66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,967
And he said “Can you do that dad?"
67
00:03:27,967 --> 00:03:29,667
And I said “You bet I can son."
68
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:32,100
Now I didn’t know what I was saying ok to...
69
00:03:33,734 --> 00:03:42,367
By the next day I had the '10-week course' and I have done everything exactly like that every day.
70
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:48,200
And within eight months total I was completely symptom free.
71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,600
My strength and my flexibility is just ridiculous.
72
00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:56,066
I look at it in awe as if it’s somebody else.
73
00:03:56,066 --> 00:03:58,467
But at 64 years old
74
00:03:58,467 --> 00:04:03,001
I swim two miles in the ocean three times a week.
75
00:04:03,001 --> 00:04:05,033
I can do the splits.
76
00:04:05,033 --> 00:04:08,133
I deadlift 300 pounds.
77
00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:10,100
I mean this is just like not...
78
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,800
I have no inflammation in my body.
79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,667
Ridiculous amount of energy.
80
00:04:14,967 --> 00:04:19,700
I do sound a little bit evangelical about the Wim Hof Method though, I gotta admit.
81
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:27,033
But you really need to stimulate and stress your autonomic nervous system to be healthy.
82
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:28,100
So go do it!
83
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:30,500
Healthy, happy and strong!
