Can the Wim Hof Breathing Technique help schizophrenia?

Short answer: Who knows? No one appears to be investigating this resilience boosting and acid lowering technique for people with schizophrenia.

Long answer: Worth a shot.

Why am I interested? Our family’s functional medicine doctor recommended it to Chris as just one tool in set of tools (supplements, homeopathy, and targeted exercise) to reduce his anxiety and fatigue, help him become more active, and help him into a person who avoids talking about oranges when the subject is apples.

Our whole family is into the Wim Hof method, which can also involve taking cold showers to boost resilience (stress response) and increase neurological function.
