Funny, i had TOTALLY forgotten about this. Years ago at a High School reunion, where i was first seen in my wheelchair in my hometown, a classmate pulled me aside to tell me that he had "cured himself" of an autoimmune disease by taking colder and colder baths for longer and longer periods of time. As he adjusted, he reported that he bought bags of ice every night on the way home from work, filled the tub, and added cold water. The guy is an extremely accomplished and smart guy.. and I could hardly believe what he was telling me. He was extremely serious, sincere and private about sharing this with me. He told me that he had been so sick that his career aspirations had gone down the tube (as had mine).. but that now he was "healed".
Unbelievable. This was about 10 years ago And i had TOTALLY forgotten about it until reading this.
