"I nearly ignored the ad that ended my crippling pain"
"My doctor told me that my age, being overweight and working long hours all my life had
taken its toll on my joints. He said all I could do is take pain pills and try to learn to live with
constant pain. My hands hurt so bad, I couldn't even put my billfold in my back pocket. I even
had to sleep in a chair because it hurt to lay down in a bed.Then
I noticed on the booklet I threw in the trash how an 84 year
old man with worse problems was now pain-free. I had to try.
I'm 92 now and have been pain-free for seven years."
