The Ultimate Human
Dr. John Kim: On Mold Toxicity, Mycotoxins, Heavy Metals, & Cellular Detox
"I had a client who actually lost her son 18 years ago, had a boating accident. The son fell off a boat, watched the son die. She's constantly dealing with hypervigilant state, anxiety, etc. All I did was taught her how to do this particular breathing technique. Her resting heart rate used to be 90. After 6 weeks, her resting heart was at 60."
Dr. Kim described a case where a mother who witnessed her son's drowning death 18 years prior suffered chronic hypervigilance and a resting heart rate of 90 bpm. After teaching her HeartMath Heart Coherency Breathing—a technique involving focused breathing while visualizing gratitude for 5-second inhales and 5-7 second exhales—her resting heart rate dropped to 60 in six weeks. The case illustrates the measurable physiological impact of nervous system regulation techniques on trauma-induced sympathetic overdrive.
