Cold water, it should be noted, holds a magic of its own. Cold water has more oxygen in it than hot water, and therefore has an alkalizing and detoxifying effect. Plus, cold water is known to wipe away negative energy from our bodies. And there's a negative energy component to most disease - particularly where cancers or tumors are located. Using cold water can help remove the energy that's binding the filth in certain locations and when that energy is gone, the filth can more easily be moved out of your body - where it truly belongs.

Are there any experiments to confirm this? It sounds like a load of crap to me.

My apologies BrookShells for the Un-intended hijack,

Seriously, what's crap about hydrotherapy?. I think the articles author was most likely drawing a comparison to Feng-Shui and cold water therapy, which shouldn't be a far leap for someone who listens to sapien sounds, (which is considered fringe science), I really have no opinion about either though. A simple search in pubmed listed these studies,
