Gout affects 2.1 million Americans; most are men 40 to 50 years of age.  The most common symptom of gout is sudden, severe attacks of pain and swelling in some joints. It usually affects one joint at a time, especially the joint of the big toe, but can also affect the knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist and elbow.

Although known as the big misery, gout has been studied for years.  Some control is now available through the use of drugs but others find drugs to be a problem also.  Goode Wraps has developed an ankle wrap and self adhesive tapes that many find very effective.

Gout is a condition recognized by irate crystals in the joints or tissues.  The descriptions of gout include  asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout and chronic tophaceous gout.

"Hello!

I am an Internet marketer and can usually detect sites that are less than honest.    Although your products are expensive and I have no idea what a Rare Earth Semi-conductor is, I decided to try your product because your claims rang true to me.  I was searching for a product that could help me with my swollen and painful feet.   I just received my order yesterday and the improvement is remarkable.  I was able to wear shoes today that would not go on yesterday and the pain is very much improved.  The fact you can treat gout is amazing.

Thank you."

Purpose of the Study

            The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of topically applied inorganic semiconductors on pain experienced by osteoarthritis patients (gout)

Background and Significance of the Study

            Dambro (1996) defines osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, as a chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disease. OA pathophysiology is progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, reactive overgrowth of bone with lipping and spur formation at the margins, and changes in synovial membrane.

            Genetically governed susceptibility to joint breakdown; inflammatory response within caused by release of prostaglandins and inflammatory lysozymes; stretched nerve endings in the periosteum; muscle spasm and joint instability leading to stretching of the joint capsule; or microfractures in the subchondral bone or medullary hypertension caused by distortion of blood flow are considered possible causes of the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis (Isselbacher et al., 1994; Rakel, 1995). Chronic pain of osteoarthritis is costly in dollars, personal suffering, decreased productivity, and quality of life (AF, 1996).

            Management of osteoarthritis focuses on symptom abatement, which often includes treatment and regulation by healthcare professionals. Symptom management is often unsatisfactory for osteoarthritis patients due to the subjectivity of the pain experience (Debock, Marwijk, Kaptein, & Mulder, 1994).  Currently accepted interventions include prescribed and over-the-counter medications, surgery, warm and cold applications, joint protection, exercise, and rest (Isselbacher et al., 1993).   

            Dissatisfaction with these interventions has led many osteoarthritis patients to seek other therapies that have not been proven effective in repeated scientific studies. Eisenberg et al. (1993) reported that one in three respondents used alternative therapies to treat problems such as arthritis pain, making more visits to alternative practitioners than to U.S. primary care physicians.

            The Arthritis Foundation divides alternative treatments, into three categories entitled harmless, harmful, and unknown safeness. Alternative treatments that are considered harmless are copper bracelets, mineral springs, vibrators, and vinegar and honey. Remedies reported to be harmful are Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), large doses of vitamins, snake venom, and drugs with hidden ingredients such as steroids.
