Is Muscle Glucose really the "main" source of Heat from the Wim Hof Tummo method?

 No - the scientists admit they don't know: "Thus, the designation of the exact anatomical location with respect to the observed signification activations in the pons region is challenging and one can only speculate with respect to the underlying mechanisms." Wim Hof himself says its the pineal gland. I know it's the pineal gland since I finished my master's degree by doing intensive qigong meditation with a Chinese spiritual healer, qigong master Chunyi Lin http://springforestqigong.com

I'm reading the actual paper (pdf link), and it states: "Thus we can only speculate that long-term practice of the WHM predisposed the Iceman to a subconscious sympathetic reaction..." That actually is the pineal gland - the scientists just don't realize it.

Wtf no, did you even watch the video? The heat comes from muscles burning big amounts of glucose.

@hannnog What the vid doesn't mention is that it is the pineal gland that increases the adrenaline as a positive feedback through the sympathetic nervous system but also with the vagus nerve. So when the breath is held after exhale this increases brain oxygen dramatically while also activating the vagus nerve. I agree with you that the study proves that Wim Hof is generating the heat from muscle glucose burning. But the vid also emphasizes it is the brain that enables this process to happen through the increased adrenaline levels.

The vid just mentions "meditation" without mentioning the vagus nerve as deep relaxation. There is a "parasympathetic rebound" reaction - the extreme sympathetic nervous system adrenaline build up (from the deep fast breathing physically stimulating the adrenal medullae) then causes an OPPOSITE extreme of the vagus nerve called "parasympathetic rebound." This was dubbed the "RElaxation REsponse" by Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard when he tested the real Tibetan tummo experts who sat outside all night long.

Wim Hof states that he can heat up his body now without even doing the breathing - just using his mind! So as Dr. Herbert Benson proved - in fact the secret is actually a deep strong vagus nerve activation. So with each "cycle" of the breathing - the retention AFTER exhale is LONGER thereby demonstrating a deeper vagus nerve storing up of energy. This energy stored up is accessed from the "ether" or what nonwestern philosophy calls Prana or Qi or N/om (the San Bushmen term).

Documented in a 1985 study by Dr. Herbert Benson: The altitude was 15,000 feet and the temperatures reached zero degrees Fahrenheit as the Tibetan monks in the Himalayas slept, apparently comfortably, through the night. With as little insulation as a thin wool cloak and laying on the cold rock separated from one another, this should have killed the monks. But they were all fine and the cameras didn’t even catch them shivering at any point. When they woke, they walked calmly back to their monastery, not seeming to notice the cold at all, unlike the scientists and camera crew who were all bundled up and freezing by morning. magnetic resonance imaging scans of the monks brains while they meditate have shown “marked differences in blood flow to the entire brain”, Benson explains.


“At the same time, certain areas of the brain became more active, specifically those that control attention and autonomic functions like blood pressure and metabolism.” All three monks were able to achieve substantial temperature changes by at least 17 degrees in fingers and toes within minutes of beginning their meditation. At the same time their heart beat did not increase. The authors said the most likely physiological mechanism was dilation of the blood vessels in the extremities. A decrease in oxygen consumption directly correlated with a decrease in metabolism rate. The results found that the participants significantly lowered their oxygen consumption during meditation, more so than through sleep. They were astonished to find that these monks could lower their metabolism by 64 percent. “It was an astounding, breathtaking [no pun intended] result,” Benson exclaims.


To put that decrease in perspective, metabolism, or oxygen consumption, drops only 10-15 percent in sleep and about 17 percent during simple meditation. Increasing alpha wave activity, decreases in the rate of metabolism, oxygen consumption and blood lactate production are all measured, observed side effects of the relaxation response. Tibetan monks reportedly stopped their own heart beat or confined themselves in a steel metal box and continued to survive by slowing their oxygen intake to extreme rates. (p. 105, The Relaxation Response and 1982 report in the scientific journal Nature . The authors were Herbert Benson, John W. Lehmann, Mark D. Epstein of Harvard, Ralph F. Goldman of the Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, M.S. Malhotra of India’s National Institute of Sports and Jeffrey Hopkins of the University of Virginia.

 Biophotons are also peer reviewed, and repeatable. Qigong has also been proven using "gold standard" science done by a Mayo Clinic medical doctor Ann Vincent. Olivier Costa de Beauregard, the assistant of Nobel physicist Louis de Broglie, states that precognition and telekinesis are considered to be a standard norm of relativistic quantum physics. Have you studied de Broglie's Law of Phase Harmony? Have you read the 2016 award-winning science book on quantum biology by Professor JohnJoe McFadden, "Life on the Edge"? Sounds to me like you simply have not researched science enough. I have corresponded personally with Nobel physicist Brian Josephson who practices qigong at Cambridge with one of his Cambridge colleagues. The MRI machine used in this science experiment could not have existed without the Josephson Junction that he invented. Nor could the "volt" be measured by NIST without using the Josephson Effect. Nobel physicist Josephson thanked me for sending him the below quote:

 "...superconductivity within one neuron could become phase coherent with that in an adjoining cell by virtue of quantum tunnelling, and this could be stimulated by the macroscopic analog of stimulated emission (alluded to before in connection with the mantra), that is an AC Josephson effect. ...At a more interesting level, the quantum vacuum state may be said to be empty (of excitation) and yet full in the sense of pure potentiality; it contains "virtual" (unphysical) representatives of all possible modes of matter and excitation in the form of vacuum fluctuations or "virtual particles" (zero-point excitations of each field mode, assigned one-half quanta of energy, due directly to the non-commutative property of the field operators)....The Super Radiance assembly at M.U.M. is named after the super radiant effect in optical physics, in which a small proportion of coherent photons in a beam of light influence all other photons to join in the powerfully coherent beam we call laser light. The Maharishi Effect is named, in the scientific tradition (the Doppler Effect, the Meissner Effect), after the man who first predicted it, the founder of TM and the worldwide movement for the Transcendental Meditation program, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Super Radiance assemblies, generators of social coherence," 

 Former Hampshire College physicist Lawrence Domash, confirms superluminal quantum sound as noncommutative meditation! 1975, pdf and to quote Olivier Costa de Beauregard:

 ...the miraculous phenomenon - convergent final state with coherent phase - may be more or less "simulated" by a "conspiracy of causes" in the form of antecedent sources that are coherent in phase....Louis de Broglie thought I was completely mad. Nevertheless I published the idea...but I believe that much significance is lost by not making use of relativistic quantum mechanics. In sum the "new quantum mechanics" describes and experiment entirely confirms, the paradoxical correlation, or non-separability in B. D'Espagnat's phrase, either between two distance measurements...or between two distant preparations for measurement...coupled by their common past or future respectively.... I assert then that relativistic quantum mechanics accounts completely for all this...the observer is also an actor, and therefore what parapsychologists call "psychokinesis" must be logically accepted. "Precognition" too must be logically accepted if the future exists in actuality, and if convergent waves are not to be discounted. The indirect transmission of messages to Elsewhere along Feynman lines implies "telepathy" and "telekinesis" - and this is what frightened Einstein, twice mentioning "telepathy" in this connection in 1949, Schroedinger using the word "magic" in 1935, and de Broglie, seeing in 1956, "an incompatibility with our conventional notions of space and time." 

 "Cosmos and Consciousness," in Science and Consciousness: Two Views of the Universe, 1980

....Rauscher and Targ stress that paranormal distant knowledge in space or in (past or future) time is well established by serious investigation, and they produce useful references. They also stress that (notwithstanding "rationalistic" prejudices) arguments in favor of the paranormal can easily be drawn from the relativistic and the quantal paradigms. This I have recently claimed also in Foundations of PHysics (Costa de Beauregard, 2001)....Only a paradigmatic change can state what is lost by discarding the phase relations. These, reversibly telegraphed throughout spacetime, connect the preparing and the retroparing physicists - and beyond them all feeling and willing beings. So what decoherence discards is the paranormal. Far from being "irrational," the paranormal is postulated by today's physics....It is then simply reasonable to envisage that there should exist low-level neurophysiological manifestations of this peculiar sort of nonlocality.
