Has this been in the local news out there. I haven't seen it. And I've never heard of this "therapy" before.

Stupid people die from things that intelligent people don't.

It's been out there, used by athletes for rehab/recovery

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/0...peed-recovery/

LeBron James uses it:

LeBron James' Liquid Nitrogen Freezing Chamber Is All The Rage, Now Here's The Science Behind It

And this from one of the manufacturers:
About Cryotherapy | Cryohealthcare Inc.

"Professional athletes have discovered WBC as a powerful treatment to decrease recovery time and increase athletic performance. Although Whole Bocy Cryotherapy originated in Japan, it was a group of Polish scientists who took the idea and made Whole Body Cryotherapy the physical therapy it is today. The Olympic rehabilitation center in Spala, Poland opened in May 2000 and has been used as a training and injury rehabilitation center for many athletes. "


Now whether or not a cryotherapy facial is extraordinarily beneficial over other, more traditional aesthetics, I don't know, and doubt I'd pay for one. The whole body thing is beneficial, but I'd only use it if I had a physcial injury that would benefit it over other therapies.

Real life is stranger than fiction in Las Vegas, that's for sure. Ask me about the murder trial I served as juror on sometime.

Happens more often than you think. There are only so many inspectors to go around. There are all kinds of rules and laws that are not fully enforced on a daily basis.
