What is Arthritis?
Simply put, arthritis is the inflammation of a joint due to the loss of cartilage
and/or lubricating fluid within the joint capsule. Forms of arthritis may include:
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, juvenile
arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatic fever, bursitis, fibrositis,
scleroderma.

In Australia, 4 million sufferers, that is about one in five Australians suffer
arthritis pain. In America, 80 million people suffer from some form of arthritic
pain, making it their most common chronic disease, responsible for nearly
20% of all medical visits. Almost 15 million Americans are classified as
disabled by arthritic joint disease.

The Johns Hopkins Arthritis Centre defines rheumatoid arthritis as a chronic
disorder for which they have no cure. However, recent changes in the
traditional approach towards over-prescribing disease-modifying drugs
combined with the availability of new non-invasive, natural therapies with
Thermomedic arthritis treatment therapy clothes can greatly improved the
outcomes that can be expected by RA patients. FIR arthritis treatments can
reduce joint disease symptoms, minimizes joint damage and greatly improve
your physical function and quality of life. To receive your own soothing

Who Is at Risk of Developing Arthritis?
Women are twice as likely to be affected by arthritis pain as men, however,
rheumatoid arthritis, the worst form, affects three times as many woman as
men. Further, the most frequent sufferers of lupus are younger women
generally between the ages of 20 and 40, whose first symptoms may appear
during pregnancy.

Sometimes referred to as the "old person's disease," arthritis can affect
babies, children, teenagers (juvenile arthritis) and young adults. One in every
two families in America has a member who is affected by arthritis pain.

Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, such as glucocorticoids,
methotrexate and  leflunomide have demonstrated varying degrees of
efficacy and, for many arthritis sufferers, they may be accompanied by
adverse effects. Pain killers only mask the problem, often with side-effects
such as toxicity, bleeding, cramps, headaches and nausea. Further, pain
killers do not offer the prospect of remedial improvement.

What Safe, Natural Arthritis Treatments Can I Use?
There are now natural and safe options to help you relieve lupus, arthritis
pain and symptoms of joint disease. Using the scientific principles of far
infrared thermal energy, Thermomedic Therapy Garments assist to improve
circulation, diminish inflammation and soreness by easing pain and joint
stiffness. This means arthritis sufferers are less reliant upon costly
medication to enjoy a quality life-style.

According to the Head of Research & Development at Thermomedic Therapy
Garments, "The body naturally tries to repair itself and by reducing our
reliance on pain killers and drugs with the support of Thermomedic non-toxic
and safe therapies we can assist this vital healing process."

Research indicates that far infrared therapy is also a safe preventative
measure for athletes and 'at-risk' individuals whose family history and life
style factors indicate a possible predisposition towards developing arthritic
conditions. Far Infrared arthritis treatments are lead-free and safe to use for
long term therapy.

Are There Any New Arthritis Cures?
There may be new hope for an arthritis cure following the 2005 discovery of
the enzyme that is responsible for the destruction of cartilage in inflammatory
arthritis and lupus symptoms. A team of scientists from the University of
Melbourne’s Department of Paediatrics and Murdoch Children's Research
Institute in Australia are the first to report a single enzyme deficiency that
could protect sufferers against painful arthritis.

Dr Amanda Fosang says "cartilage is found throughout the body, most
notably covering bone endings in joints such as the knee and hip. A large
molecule called aggrecan gives cartilage its unique capacity to bear load and
resist compression and it is this substance that is broken down in arthritis.
The result is a weak cartilage and painful joints. Our new findings identified a
single enzyme called ADAMTS5 which was the main culprit for aggrecan
breakdown,”

The Australian researchers plan further investigations into ADAMTS5  and its
destructive role in arthritic conditions.

Recommended Arthritis Treatment Devices
Thermomedic Therapy Garments are recommended as appropriate pain
management tools to help arthritis sufferers live healthy and independent
lives. Since gentle exercise is prescribed as an important treatment to help
reduce arthritic pain and stiffness Thermomedic therapy clothes with far
infrared provide the necessary  firm compressive support for afflicted arthritis
joints to enable remedial activities.

What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
A painful and progressive autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis is the
inflammation of the membrane that lines the joints throughout your body. This
inflammation can lead to distortion of the joint which impairs function, causes
pain, stiffness and swelling. It can ultimately lead to irreversible joint damage
and permanent disability. Wearing Thermomedic thermal compressive joint
supports relieve pain, assist improved joint mobility and reduce swelling and
symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Juvenile arthritis is a term covering those diseases whose cause is unknown.
It is associated with symptoms of pain in the joints occurring in children aged
under sixteen years old.

Whenever persistent arthritis pain or symptoms interfere with your normal,
everyday activities, please consult your doctor.

Health Care News
Announcement From Australia's T.G.A.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia, has announced a world-wide withdrawal of a
widely-used drug prescribed for patients suffering from arthritis, rheumatoid or osteoarthritis.

Their decision is based on medical information from a recent clinical study which showed that there was
an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack and stroke.

As a consequence of these results the Therapeutic Goods Administration is recalling the drug. The drug
was approved in Australia for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Principal Medical Officer for the T.G.A. Dr John McEwen, said today that the medicines regulator had
been monitoring various medications for some time and, in October 2003, published an article in the
Australian Adverse Drug Reactions Bulletin alerting Australian doctors to some evidence of increased
risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

As a result, Dr McEwen said, "Patients who stop taking their medications may expect worsening of their
symptoms. They should make an appointment to see their doctor to discuss alternative treatment.

These serious side-effects and risks associated with many prescription drugs are just one reason why
people are increasingly seeking better health care treatments for their pain with natural far infrared
therapy garments from Thermomedic. In fact, Thermomedic therapy gloves are our now our best arthritis
treatment. This means you can choose Thermomedic far infrared therapy treatments with complete
peace of mind.

These class 1 medical devices are included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
Will Physical
Activity Make My

joint pain Worse?
Dr Gene Hunder,
rheumatology specialist at
Mayo Clinic and a
professor of medicine at
Mayo Clinic College of
Medicine, says "If you
already have joint
damage, you can make
your arthritis pain worse
with activities that are
stressful to your joints or
that require repetitive
motion.
