Re: Cold-water hydrotherapy in the treatment of illness.

[Guest guest]

Hi Blake,

Cold-water therapy has been used for ME and CFS in

Europe for years. It comes and goes out of fashion.

There is a clinic in the UK that uses it now

(forgotten the name).

One rich ME sufferer had a cold water pool installed

on his yacht for this and made good progress.

Personally I cannot tolerate showers at all but found

cold baths very helpful until I had an accident. Then

the pain from the accident sites became unbearable

after my cold baths.

I thought in my case that it might be the effect of

the cold water on my blood circulation as I am much

better energy-wise in cold winters as well. Worse in

hot weather and with hot baths.

Maybe it is a bit of everything as my viral symptoms

are also much worse in the summer.

I saw Leon Chaitow years ago in London and his CFS &

ME knowledge was very poor. He did seem to be

knowledgeable on general fatigue though.

warmest regards,

Annette
