              My body would lock up from the cold and I would sink to the bottom.

              I don't know how they do it.

                    These guys would have jumped off the Titanic and thought nothing of it. Probably would have survived the cold.

                        Russia or USA, there are people everywhere who tries to get healthy with this method.. Your whole body gets activated within few minutes, blood over-washes all arteries..

                        Of course there are pre-causions and contraindications.

                        January 19 is orthodox christian holiday of christening. Many

                        religious believers dip into cold winter water.

                        They say that at this day you cannot get ill even staying in water for longer time.
