...I'm not up to snuff on all the scientific theories, but am in love with oxygen, simply because it works. After reading about a hundred posts talking about ice packs and cold cloths and holding the hurting head under a cold shower and even lying with your chest on a wet basement floor, it occurred to me that the relief may be as simple as cold air. I'm in remission but thought you might be able to test this minor brainstorm by simply breathing room air through your tube-cooler whatchamathingy. I suspect that the denser air or pure oxygen works to better effect. For sure, when the MF finds me again, my tanks are going in the deep freeze.
