Ten two minute sessions of -166 F (-110 C) temperatures versus a SHAM treatment of -67 F (-55 C) shower a number of improvements in body measurements. A reduction of 20% cholesterol, 10.3% glucose, and 9.9% in diastolic blood pressure, occurred.

LDL dropped 24.7%.

Do note the SHAM treatment is still a good form of therapy, just not as good.

These therapy centers are available around the country, with dozens of centers in major metropolitan centers.

So the crazy “polar bear swim” people who jump in the lake when it’s almost freezing were on to something?

Thanks, but the Pacific Ocean in LA County is PLENTY cold enough for me.

What does this feel like?

Does it hurt?

How much, if so, on a scale of 1-10, one being minor discomfort, and ten being excruciating pain?

I don’t think I’d enjoy it. I’m a Southerner by choice.

Here is a summation of cold exposure practices.

They say, no medical confirmation of benefits...

Lots of anecdotes.
