    I won't be going near the water and I don't reckon you need too, I think the point of all this to voluntarily influence the nervous system and not a who can hold there breath the longest contest. This was pretty interesting imo http://m.pnas.org/content/111/20/7379.abstract ''Subjects in the intervention group were trained for 10 d in meditation (third eye meditation), breathing techniques (i.a., cyclic hyperventilation followed by breath retention), and exposure to cold (i.a., immersions in ice cold water). The control group was not trained. Subsequently, all subjects underwent experimental endotoxemia (i.v. administration of 2 ng/kg Escherichia coliendotoxin). In the intervention group, practicing the learned techniques resulted in intermittent respiratory alkalosis and hypoxia resulting in profoundly increased plasma epinephrine levels. In the intervention group, plasma levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 increased more rapidly after endotoxin administration, correlated strongly with preceding epinephrine levels, and were higher. Levels of proinflammatory mediators TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 were lower in the intervention group and correlated negatively with IL-10 levels. Finally, flu-like symptoms were lower in the intervention group. In conclusion, we demonstrate that voluntary activation of the sympathetic nervous system results in epinephrine release and subsequent suppression of the innate immune response in humans in vivo

    The first cold shower was the worst by far lol, idk really about the breathing, I've just been letting go and really not trying to exhale amd inhaling as soon as I stop exhaling. 2.5 min with no air last night I didn't even notice time going by. I reckon it does feel a little hyperventilation ish but that would make scenes, lots of tingling in the hands going on. I think with hyperventilation you can't really stop yourself though and then pass out, and from the videos of hyperventilating people I've seen they are breathing much faster and exhaling all the way.
