tummo or not. breating techniques exist for thousands of years. it's a repackaged and simplified interpretation of Pranayama, Tummo, anything he happened to stubmle upon. And WH is not very much scientifically inclined. He has been several times repeating the idea that hyperventilation provides the body with more oxygen. The opposite is true (Bohr effect). Also he reinterpretes subduing an immunological response with beating an infection. His experiment involved a harmless bacteria which causes immunological response but no detrimental effects on health. His son is is Chief Marketing Officer - also obvious from several videos. Of course he'll say whatever benefits the trademark. In one (I think) Vice episode he presents a friend of his with cancer thanking WH for helping him with the method. He died from cancer.
WHM is a neat little technique with lots of bells and whistles attached to hit. No more no less. I enjoy applying it from time to time for what it's worth. But don't expect any revelations or enlightenment. And I never had an experience coming even remotely close to a DMT trip.
There are many similar techniques btw - they all boil down to hyperventilate, then stop and let CO2 build up (some with lungs empty some with lungs filled) and have oxygen be released to the cells in a little Oxygen shower. The more you read and think about it the less exciting it gets. It's nice - yes - but very limited. Much more healthy in the long run is slow breathing. But it's not as exciting and it's not marketed by a would-be-shaman who rambles on about philosophical ideas and curses all the time.
