This is not an ice bath demonstration or talk, but I'm going into that because so many people are going to say, whoa, if localizing cold packs are really good for me and they're good for my aches and pains, let me go do what people are doing out there and let me go hop into a tub with ice and water in there.
But no, that actually lowers the immune system with someone with chronic illness.
So anyone who's struggling with any kind of condition, the deep ice bath time, you know, that five minutes in the ice bath, that three minutes, that's 10 minutes, that 15 minutes people do in the ice bath is actually the worst thing they can do with chronic illness.
Because it hinders the immune system.
Because when all that adrenaline is released for that fight or flight moment, when all that adrenaline and epinephrine is just coursing through the veins, that wears down your white blood count.
your killer cells. It wears down your lymphocytes. It breaks down your immune system. And that's what
occurs when you do those ice baths. I just want everybody to know that.
