Thermograph evidence (a video is available on request) depicts an area of injury due to increases in heat build-up surrounding and in the area of injury (which is a characteristic of inflammation). Series of thermographs were taken prior to treatment, immediately after treatment, and four hours after treatment. In each case, the levels of heat radiating from the injured area four hours after treatment with Thermotex™ were either:

1. Less than the original area displaying the injury, or
2. Not in evidence.

These results suggest a therapeutic outcome within a four-hour period. The autonomic system of the horse would normally not respond within this time frame.

Blood Chemistry
 
Blood tests measuring SGOT levels were performed. SGOT are enzymes discharged into the general circulatory system when muscle distress (spasm) occurs. Blood samples were taken prior to treatment with Thermotex™ and four hours after treatment. SGOT levels returned to normal four hours after 20 minutes of treatment with Thermotex™. This correlates directly with the thermographic evidence as stated above. The absence of heightened SGOT levels in the blood suggests that the muscle distress has subsided.

Equine studies also show that Thermotex™ reduces the healing time for skin wounds.

No other medical or veterinary treatments were used through the course of these clinical trials.

Racing equine have track records that are public information. Typically, as with their human athlete counterparts, the presence of injury causes a reduction in their performance. When treated with Thermotex™ (controlling for pathologies and no other clinical intervention) the animals returned to their original track records. Unlike their human counterparts, horses have limited cognitive abilities. Therefore, it would be very difficult to argue any precognition or anticipation of outcome of a clinical intervention on the part of the horse.
