Medical Applications:
Multiple-Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Spinal Cord Injury, Menopause

Although the Thermoblazer^TM was originally developed for use in Sport, there are many other applications. Many individuals have benefited from the cooling power of the Thermoblazer^TM to enhance their health, well-being and quality of life. Below are just a few of the areas where the Thermoblazer^TM has helped.

1. Multiple Sclerosis: 
   Many people with Multiple Sclerosis are very sensitive to the heat and to elevated body temperatures. Not only has research demonstrated that cooling vests such as the Thermoblazer^TM help people with MS, so has the feedback we have received from our customers
   
   “I had a great morning wearing the vest.  It worked wonderfully well, I got more done this morning than I usually do in a week.”
   

2. Epilepsy: 
   Some people have epileptic seizures triggered by a rise in body temperature. Although there is little research on this phenomenon several of our customers have reported a significant reduction in heat-triggered seizures when wearing the Thermoblazer^TM to stay cool during outdoor activities.
   

3. Spinal Cord Injury: 
   The Thermoblazer^TM has recently been used by Canadian Paralympians at the Athens 2004 Paralympics. Other individuals with spinal cord injuries may also find the Thermoblazer^TM helps them better regulate their body temperature during exercise or in a hot environment. New research continues to emerge supporting the benefits of cooling for people with spinal cord injury.
   

4. Menopause: 
   Many menopausal women have reported that the Thermoblazer^TM is of great benefit to them in reducing the effects of hot-flashes. Although no research on cooling vests and menopause has been reported, research certainly demonstrates that small rises in skin and body temperature contribute to hot flashes.  Because the Thermoblazer^TM will help reduce body temperature it follows that it is effective at controlling hot-flashes.
   

5. Fever: 
   It is well known that high fevers can trigger seizures and other central nervous system problems. Cooling through use of the Thermoblazer^TM may assist other pharmacological methods in helping control extreme elevations in body temperature that occur with fever and the associated central nervous system disorders.
