I thought they did explain it. Iceman can control his internal thermostat. He can raise his body temperature higher than the normal individual, which explains his resistance to the cold. That doesn't sound paranormal to me, just extreme discipline over one's own body.

Exactly it's still not an ordinary technique. Something similar could be happening with the fire walkers, keeping the mind calm instead of reacting changes seems to prevent the nervous system from responding, inducing psyiological effects into the body which seem to be detrimental.

Hm yeah nice kinda like what I already said.

The way the mind perceives something determines how the body responds to it. Not that magical or unbelievable IMO.

I was confused about what you were trying to get at with firewalking, then I realized you thought it might have a paranormal aspect to it. :lol:

But yeah, as others have said, it's mostly due to how quickly they move, also the calluses on their feet may play a role as well.

Sorry, but you are STILL over-reaching. Mental discipline does NOT change the temperature at which skin burns.

Belief, no matter how strong, doesn't alter physics in the slightest.






Not outside of the living organism but  within it, it does. What is occuring within the perceiving mind of the organism effects what is going to happen mechanically within the body. Could it be possible that the cells within the feet are controlled by the nervous system which in turn is controlled by the perception of the organism. The nervous system could kill the cells in the foot faster according to what is happening in the mind.
