CRYOTHERAPIST FREEZES TO DEATH

An employee of a Las Vegas beauty salon wrote about the benefits of cryotherapy to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Cryotherapy is the latest fad among the rich and famous. It entails exposing the body to sub-zero temperatures – about minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit – said to have great benefits, particularly after a traditional facial and moisturizer treatment. This is what 24-year-old spa worker Chelsea Ake-Salvacion said in an article published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal last week. But before her comments were even published, Ake-Salvacion was found dead – in her salon’s cryotherapy chamber. She was alone closing the shop up the night before. Medical examiners told her family she died in “seconds” last Tuesday after she entered the machine alone, freezing to death. She had reportedly been in the machine for more than 10 hours when her body was found.
* Ice, ice baby.
* She died in a cryotherapy chamber? That’s cold.
* Just think of it as an reanimation experiment that’s still ongoing.
* So how does this treatment work with rich people? They pay you not to kill them?
* I think the Las Vegas Review-Journal is going to have to print a retraction.
* Anyone else think it’s dangerous having a chamber in some spa in Vegas that is minus 240 degrees or is it just me?
* 10 hours, huh? Of course, it wouldn’t really matter if it was 10 hours or 10 days.
* And calling this “sub-zero temperatures” is like saying the surface of the sun is a little warm.
* Now here’s Foreigner with “Cold As Ice.”
* PHONE TOPIC: What dumbass beauty treatment have you tried and then realized it was bogus?
