I've trie the wim hof method. It's a pretty incredible feeling but I'm afraid of collapsing and knocking myself out.
- Geojim 9y agoI think a better control group would have been a group who had to bash their thumb with a hammer or something....
- abalone 9y agoNo because this was not a self-selected group. It was people with no regular history of cold showering. My money’s on placebo effect here.
- SilasX 9y agoRight but people would be excluded from the study if they found the cold showers too grueling and wanted out.
- dwg 9y agoI've been using cold water at the end of my showers for a while now and it doesn't feel painful or even uncomfortable. Quite the opposite. So, your point may follow but not exactly in the way stated.

- bemmu 9y agoSince there was no dose-effect relationship either, I find your idea pretty compelling.
