WHM Breathing Brain Waste Study ($75k DMT Quest Match)

This is a study that could revolutionize how brain health and neurodegenerative conditions are addressed. Most believe that sleep is the predominant way in which metabolic waste is removed from the brain. However, periphery evidence suggests that respiration can also have an impact on metabolic waste clearance of the brain via changes to cerebrospinal fluid production and movement. In 2023, a Medical Hypothesis paper titled:Can Wim Hof Method breathing induce conscious metabolic waste clearance of the brain?

Now we will test this hypothesis with a study at the Zeidan Lab at UC San Diego. Dr. Fadel Zeidan is one of the most published neuroscientists in the world regarding pain and meditation. He is excited to conduct this WHM Breathing study to verify whether enhanced CSF clearance and glymphatic activation takes place from this technique. DMT Quest has donated $75,000 USD to carry out this study. We are looking to raise an additional $75,000 USD from Wim Hof Method supporters in order to carry out this study in 2025. Please share this fundraising link with WHM supporters so we can carry out this very important research!
