There is a person that has been around for a while known as the 'The Dutch Ice man'.

Here is a documentary on him, (there are several.)

 

 

His name is Wim Hoff, and he is known for being able to submerge himself in dangerously super cold temperatures for a long time, and through breathing exercises/meditation he has scientifically proven in lab experiments that he is able to resist infections/sickness and boost his adrenaline to very high levels AT WILL. He's not the only one that can do it though because he did the same experiments with his students.

 

Of course the traditional understanding of the autonomic nervous system is that it is an unconscious system, but apparently that's not entirely true...

 

 

This is an interesting documentary that is worth watching.

 

This seems to me to have a lot of scientific implications and could change the way we understand human physiology.

Well, there are such superhumans. Consider Michael Phelps,the Olympian champion and expert swimmer. His body configuration is also abnormal, causing him to swim 'like a fish'.
