Asklipia: Have been keeping up with the BDs for about 12 days now (with a day or 2 left out because it is difficult to do them when I am at work running a 24-hour shift). You're right, the cool -- even cold -- water, for some reason, is not particularly shocking, but rather very pleasant. I have been using a steel basin for the cold water, and the sound of the water dripping back into it seems to be magnified a bit by the surrounding porcelain which I find it very soothing on top of the physical sensations. I'm working up from 10 minutes/day bit by bit and plan to keep it as part of my routine. I think when I had bilateral hip replacement surgeries the lymph nodes around the hip joints in the pelvis may have suffered somewhat, though the surgeries were certainly a resounding success; at any rate, I am hopeful that the BDs will prove as therapeutic as they have been pleasing. Thanks for bringing them to my attention, and I will post from time to time on my status. I'm also, FWIW, in the early stages of adding B2/manganese to what I'm doing generally -- so far, in small amounts, but with what appears to me to be promising results. So I'm in your debt on at least two scores, and deeply appreciative.
