Disturbing trend

I can't begin to explain how annoying and disturbing it is to continue reading articles online that bash cold therapy. I've seen a news anchor get into a tub of ice cold water and then say that this is not recommended. I've read a report on a research study conducted where the participants ran downhill for 40 minutes and then where immersed in cylindrical vats of 5 degree water. Participants complained about the water being too cold. Really? Alright. There is sound research that proves that cryotherapy is important in muscle rehabilitation. This d5 degree research study only focuses on the efficacy of muscle repair based on the experiences of participants. Here are my questions. what was the age range of participants? How active were they? Was the introduction to the cold a gradual one or were the participants thrown into the experience? Besides muscle inflammation, what other facet was being measured? Do your own research and you will see that hydrotherapy /contrast showers and cryotherapy have enormous benefits. It helps to regulate mood by raising "feel good" hormone levels. It draws our dormant white blood cells from within your muscle tissue, circulating them throughout your body to destroy free radicals, and it makes you lose stubborn fat. Like holistic cures for cancer, cold therapy has been getting alot of negative press. There are methods in curing cancer that are quelled by big media, pharmaceutical companies, the FDA and laws that regulate free trade and commerce. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why cold therapy/hydrotherapy etc has been continually thrown under the bus is because IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I've made believers out of two of my friends, and I am hoping to make a believer out of you! Study to show yourself approved!
