Abstract
An apparatus for burning calories of an individual. The apparatus includes a cooling mechanism adapted to cool the individual'"'"'s temperature. The apparatus includes a controlling mechanism for controlling the rate at which the cooling mechanism cools the individual. A method for burning calories in an individual. The method includes the steps of applying a fluid in regard to the individual. Then there is the step of cooling the individual at the controlled rate with the fluid.

24. An apparatus for burning calories of an individual comprising:
-
a cooling mechanism adapted to cool the individual'"'"'s temperature by immersing the individual in fluid, the cooling mechanism includes a fluid for cooling the individual, the cooling mechanism includes a temperature mechanism for controlling the temperature of the fluid, the temperature mechanism causes the cooling mechanism to bring the fluid temperature to be greater than 78 degrees Fahrenheit when the fluid is initially used for the individual and then causes the cooling mechanism gradually reduces the temperature of the fluid to below 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature mechanism causes the cooling mechanism to raise the temperature of the fluid to heat the individual before causing the cooling mechanism to gradually reduce the temperature of the fluid, the cooling mechanism includes a Jacuzzi connected to the controlling mechanism having a tub, heating mechanism for heating fluid, a refrigerator mechanism for cooling fluid, a fluid supply for filling the tub, a flow mechanism for moving the fluid through the tub and the heating mechanism and the cooling mechanism, and a fluid thermometer for measuring the temperature of the fluid; and
a controlling mechanism for controlling the rate at which the cooling mechanism cools the individual to cause the individual to shiver, the controlling mechanism includes a thermometer adapted to monitor the individual'"'"'s temperature and an alarm which is sounded after the individual'"'"'s temperature reaches a predetermined temperature.
