Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think it's a kid thing. I'm in Wis. The ice can go out on the lakes as late as around the 1st of May. I was swimming in the lake every memorial day weekend. Water temperature never stopped me and all the others kids from jumping in. As an adult, no way!!!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I just heard of an alternating cold therapy with sauna therapy for pathogens. Cold kills some and heat kills others. It made me wonder why my husband felt so much better in Montana besides the obvious mountain air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Makes me wonder why I am sick at all...since its freezing outside and warm in the house. So each day I am getting alternating cold/hot therapy. The sauna therapy does work though, by inducing a higher body temperature, which in turn kills germs (false fever). Maybe I need to get colder than 20 degrees for it to work? It sounds like it would be good though. I am going out shortly..maybe I can freeze the rest of this cold out of me...lol. My question would be though, if the cold part were to work in humans, how come the body never drops below normal temp in response to germs? It always runs a fever. In fact, low temps below 98.6 are considered abnormal and a sign of thyroid disease. You've got me interested now though. I am going to do some reading on the hot/cold thing. who knows... Montana could have been because they have less toxic pollution than most places..due to a lack of population/large cities, industry. Many of us feel way better when we travel because we are not around the daily toxins in our own cities. Or just the mountain air..lol. > > I just heard of an alternating cold therapy with sauna therapy for pathogens. Cold kills some and heat kills others.

Probably okay for pathogens, but certainly not limited to that, and there are other things that I think of before hot/cold when I'm thinking about pathogens. But that's me. I think it is naturopathy that has a whole defined type of treatment using hot/cold -- like a treatment that is done to you by a practitioner. There are also various do-it-yourself ways, of course. Such as hot and cold showers -- great. best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 My migraine girl did not tolerate even warm baths until she was well over 2yo. They were always rather cold to ice cold, regardless of the temperature inside/outside. She has become gradually more tolerant over time. The past few/couple months have been the first time she has " asked " for warm baths - happy dance I never did pinpoint a reason that seemed to fit her puzzle fo stuff..I am pretty sure I came across some possible thyroid connections - they just never made it to the " aha, that makes sense " stage. wishing you the best answers, elizabeth > > Why is it that when my son takes a bath he has no reaction to water being > ice cold?
