“The mind is the strongest energy in the universe,” he tells us. “Anything is possible with the mind.” After arriving at a diagnosis, he uses natural oils, extracts, and specially prepared waters to bypass the symptoms and directly treat the source of whatever ailments he’s divined. Igor has declared Martin to be in excellent health besides a slightly low sodium level, and calls him one of strongest human specimens he’s ever examined. Martin cranked out another 86 km today and the team is currently anchored at the town of Juriti
Martin Enters the State of Para
After spending the last 25 days swimming through the Brazilian state of Amazonas, Martin has entered the state of Para. Martin swam 83 km yesterday, finishing at Parintins, a town reputed by many Brazilians to have a Festival that will give Rio De Janeiro a run for her money. The illness that plagued the team a few weeks ago has finally run its course and we’re a fairly healthy bunch again. Martin hopes to reach Santarem on Saturday where a large reception is planned.
