My changes started with a cold shower.
Well, actually... with ice baths.
I looked for a group in Barcelona that did them and joined.
That was my awakening.
It was very difficult for me.
I shivered for the three minutes I had to endure at three degrees.
I thought I was going to die.
But when I came out... I felt like new.
The next day I started bathing daily in the communal pool, which in mid-winter reaches 9 °C.
And since then, four years ago, I haven't stopped doing it.
I can say that since I've been exposing myself to the cold, I haven't caught a cold again.
I'm sure it's not just because of that - it's the sum of everything - but I relate it quite a bit.
In addition to submerging myself for about two minutes a day, when it rains or I feel "about to get sick," I take a cold shower at home.
And the curious thing is that, when I feel low on energy or with that slight feverish sensation, I take a shower, barely dry myself, get into bed... and the next day I'm perfect.
It's also true that, at first, I became a little obsessed.
They had found a spot on my right lung, and I started researching.
That's when I met Sebastian Kneipp, the father of hydrotherapy.
I was fascinated by his vision of water and diseases.
I read his protocol and tried to follow it.
A year later - and after quitting smoking after more than thirty years - I went back to the doctor.
The spot had completely disappeared.
They couldn't believe it either.
I remember the radiologist highlighted it in bold, astonished.
Seeing that made me understand something:
there are ways of healing that conventional medicine has never told us about.
Since then, I have been incorporating many other changes - which I will talk about -,
but this was the first of them all.
✨ Cold water was my gateway to a new way of understanding health: simple, natural, and profoundly transformative.
