In this segment, a mother describes her son Severin’s severe cardiac condition: damaged pacemaking cells leading to an extremely low heart rate (bradycardia). She expresses strong reservations about implanting a pacemaker in such a young child, citing risks like inflammation, the need for future lead replacements as he grows, and overall device complications. Seeking alternatives, she researched the Wim Hof Method after seeing many positive testimonials for various health issues. However, she worries that the method, which she has read can further lower heart rate, might exacerbate Severin’s condition. The mother’s goal is to determine whether practicing the Wim Hof Method would be safe or potentially harmful for her son.

Some of the cells that pass signals in his heart, they are damaged. And the byproduct of this is that his heart rate is very low. As a mum, I couldn't agree with the pacemaker being inserted in such a small boy. That gives lots of other troubles. It's not just a device. It may give inflammation to the body. The cables need to be removed and replaced. Because the body is growing. For me, it was like if I don't find anything, it's like a failure. So I read about Wim Hof Method that lots of people had very positive response with lots of different conditions. So I thought, why not try this? But I wasn't sure if that will be for Severin because his heart rate is slow. And the method, usually what I read, it says that it will slower the heart rate even more. So I was afraid. I wanted to find out if that method will not harm him Even more.
