Story, if i have to say so myself. At about 16 years old, i was actually paralyzed by a tumor in my third vertebra. They rushed me up to riley Childrens Hospital up in indianapolis, indiana. Specialists told me that id probably never walk again. I spent quite a few years laid up in the hospital. It was a miraculous recovery. A surgeon came in from germany. They removed my third vertebra and literally built me a new vertebra using my pelvis used oneinch squares and built me a new vertebra. Well, mike, i was in the hospital at 16, and after the surgery, they put me in a fulllength body cast from head to toe, and when i left the hospital, i weighed 105 pounds. Now, a lot of people hear that story and im very proud of being able to recover from that. But that was just the first step in my life into the health industry. As i was going through rehabilitation for my back, my father went into the hospital for his first openheart surgery at the age of 43. So, mike, that really scared me to death. So i decided right then to take a very close look at our lives, our family history, and try to understand what was going on. I mean, both my parents had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease. You know, i had back problems. You name it, we had it. So if hereditary was a part of the issue, i needed to make sure that i was doing everything that i could to rebuild my body and take care of this body that god gave us. I went back to college, studied exercise and nutrition, sports medicine. I rebuilt my body, and through that exercise and nutrition program, mike, i built my body up to 220 pounds and went out to california and became one of the 16 original american gladiator contenders. So im living proof that you can overcome adversity. But, mike, early on in my career, i got to noticing some things. Had back problems. I always suffered with back problems. Well, ill be honest with you. Growing you know, being a gladiator, going through college, i abused my body. Yeah, ive seen that show. You probably took some abuse in that. I got beat up pretty good, and i did some beating, but i got beat up pretty good. I got a i tore a left rotator cuff. I tore my right knee cartilage. I twisted my ankles. I had concussions. Plus, remember, i had back surgery, so right. Right. At 16. At 16, so i had always struggled with back pain. Now, you talk about god in a life. I dont believe in coincidence. I believe god plans everything. I was actually up in boston during a production, and i was telling one of the cameramen about this story im just telling you. I said, man, my rotators hurt, and my you know, i said, im 40 years old, and if i dont figure out how to get rid of some of this pain, im not sure whats gonna happen. Okay. And being in the industry, mike, ive tried all the products. So trust me nothing worked. Well, while i was telling this story, a woman comes to me, and she says, here, try this. This is the product were talking about. This is the product were talking about, the formula were talking about, and i said, well, whats this . And she started to go over the ingredient, and i stopped her, and i said, maam, you know, ive been doing this for 25 years, and ive seen the best of the best. Ive tried the best of the best. Nothing worked. Right. She said, try this. And i said, i just told you nothing worked. She said, im telling you, try this. It will work. And i said, what have i got to lose . She gave it to me for free. Mike, im not exaggerating. I went home the first couple of weeks, didnt notice anything. About the third or fourth week, i thought i started to notice something. Maybe i was feeling a little better. About the fifth week and a lot of people dont realize this, but about the fifth week, my wife said, jim, did you notice that you did not get up in the middle of the night last night . You slept through the night. It had never dawned on me that my pain my shoulder pain and my knee pain and my back pain was keeping me from sleeping. So the next thing you know, five weeks into it, i got up and i said, wow. I dont have any pain. Mike, im telling you, ive been taking this product now for almost five years, and at nearly 50 years old, i do not have a pain or an ache in my body nothing. You had mentioned to me yesterday when we were talking about this that you had tried all the some of the drugs that are on the market, some of these drugs that can cause some severe side effects. In fact, we were talking you were telling me that these labels say may cause death. All right. Have you ever listened and i encourage someone watching the program right now before you take a pharmaceutical drug, im gonna ask you to do one very simple thing. Tune in to your evening news tonight. Tune in the news and listen to the drug ads, listen to the disclaimers, and if you dont laugh at the end of one of those disclaimers, i promise you, youre on the wrong planet. Because my wife and i listen to the disclaimers, and sometimes im thinking im getting punked. Right. I mean im listening, and it causes diarrhea, headaches, blindness, and if you dont hard of hearing, and if you go blind, it may not come back. And at the very end, and in severe cases, may cause death. Well, mike, im not sure about you but, thats a pretty harmful side effect. Well, some of these products, and depending on who you read and what report you read, have killed anywhere upwards of between 50,000 and 100,000 people, not because they had cancer or because they had some other disease because they were just in pain. These people they wanted to get out of pain, and they died. Let me give you exactly. Let me give you a perfect example. The drug youre talking about my sisterinlaw is a pharmaceutical rep, and i was blessed because i was trying to do everything that i could to not only get out of pain, but i still do a lot of training. And every person that i train is living in pain. As we get older, everybody has knee pain, joint pain, back pain. I dont care what it is, everybody that i talk to has pain. And my sisterinlaw was a rep that was selling one of these nsaids, one of these pharmaceutical drugs. She happened to have called us about a month before they pulled them from the market, and i had really seriously thought about taking these nsaids because i was in serious pain. Nothing was working. And i know that theres people out there watching right now that have tried everything. Nothing was working. Right. And mary says, jim, dont take it. Theyre about to pull it off the market because that product has been proven to kill thousands and cause hundreds of millions of people very severe side effects, irreversible side effects, including death. Mike, these drugs are chemicals. Theyre manufactured from chemicals. Let me give you a good example, and thats why were going to be here today. I have a really good friend of mine, and his wife is a id say a parttime triathlete. Shes a stayathome mom, 47 years old, has got three kids, but she loves triathlons. I was actually at a birthday or a christmas party, and we were just talking, and she comes up to me, and she overheard us talking about vioxx. And she said, boy, i hated when they pulled vioxx off the market because that stuff really worked. And i said, robin, did you listen to the disclaimer . She says, jim, i dont care if it does cause death. It worked. And i said, robin, i want you to think about something. What if what if i could give you an allnatural jointrelief product that worked just as good, maybe even better than the pharmaceutical drug . And it wont cause death. And it wont cause death. I guarantee it. Without a possibility of causing death. All natural. And she said, jim, ive tried all the products. Just like you, ive tried all the products. And i said, robin, so had i, until someone introduced me to this formula. You got nothing to lose. I said, try this product. Try it, and if at 30 days it doesnt work for you, you give it back to me no harm, no foul. Sure. I didnt see her for about two months. We didnt have any parties, didnt see her for about two months. Bumped into her at the grocery store. Mike, she came right up to me and said, ive been looking for you. I was trying to call brad to get your telephone number. Where can i get this product . For the first time, she said, ive been able to compete in the triathletes, and she said, ill be honest. At about five weeks, all the pain wasnt gone, but, she said, jim, it was livable. I was able to compete, and i could enjoy my quality of life. It wasnt all gone, but i felt so much better. And i said, robin, youre only talking about a month. As this natural product goes into your body, its gonna get better, and its gonna get better. Why . And thats what were going to show today, mike. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that do cause harm, damage to the body, an allnatural product, an allnatural joint relief is not only going to eliminate the pain from the cause of this, but its gonna get to the root of the problem. And, mike, thats what weve got to discuss today. Because i need people to understand where the pain is coming from. Let me run a scenario by you, mike. Heres whats happening in the pharmaceutical industry. Lets say youre working around the house and you accidentally step on a nail. Now, whats the first thing you got to do . Youve got to get to the hospital. Okay. We have the best acute medicine, trauma medicine, right here in the United States than anywhere. Now, you dont pull the nail out. The nails stuck in your foot. So your wife rushes you to the e. R. , okay. You walk into the e. R. , and the doctor looks at your foot and says, yep, mike, you got a nail in your foot. And you say, well, what are we gonna do about it . And you say, well, doc, what are we gonna do about it . And he says, i tell you what. Here. Take this Pain Medicine. Sure. Okay. Well, are we gonna remove the nail . Thats not really hurting anything, mike. Lets just leave the nail, but were gonna give you this Pain Medicine and this antiinflammatory medicine so youll forget about the nail. Exactly. Youll forget about the symptom of the nail. Youll forget that its the nail thats causing the problem. Now you got pain. Youre gonna start swelling up. Youre gonna be in excruciating pain. The first thing he should have done was, mike, lets figure out how to get the nail out. Right. Thats what were gonna be talking about today, mike, is lets figure out what the problem is, and the problem is quite simply that the cartilage in our joints is deteriorating and that its my opinion that osteoarthritis is not a disease. The drug industry would like you to believe that osteoarthritis is a disease. No, its not. Its an issue that needs to be addressed a serious pain issue that needs to be addressed. But let me explain to you whats happening. So let me just cut you off there for a second. Youre gonna show us a little bit about the actual joints and whats going on in the body and how we can actually be proactive on a natural sense, and well talk about that in just a minute. Folks, weve only been talking with mr. Jim shriner for a few minutes, but if youre suffering from joint pain, knee pain, foot pain, back pain, or if you know someone who is, pick up the phone and give us a call. Jims product, arthrid, has been helping thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people live pain free. So pick up the phone and give us a call. Weve actually worked out a special arrangement with our guest, mr. Jim shriner, where youll receive a substantial savings off the regular price of the product. Plus, if you call within the next five minutes, ask how you can receive your first months supply absolutely free. Folks, this product is unconditionally guaranteed to work. Its worked for hundreds of thousands of people for years. So pick up the phone and give us a call. Now, jim, earlier before this week, we were talking a little bit about, you know, whats actually going on in the body. And you brought with you here what is this here . This is imagine this is a knee joint, mike, and what i want to show you is, just about every joint in the body works very similar to your knee joint. But the knee joint is where a lot of people are feeling a lot of pain. I talk to people every day. I train thousands of people. Now, unlike some trainers, i dont train professional athletes, and i dont train superstars. I train everydayjoe people just like you housewives, mothers, guys i got an electrician whos crawling through gutters and going up through pipes to run electricity, and hes always real everyday people. Real everyday people. I train thousands of ordinary, everyday people, and their numberone complaint is joint pain. Well, very quickly, if i can get you to understand where the pain is coming from, then it will make sense why this arthrid works. Its real simple. Imagine this cartilage right here between your knee is called your meniscus, and i want you to imagine what is this meniscus doing. All this cartilage is doing is keeping these two bones from rubbing together. Okay. Its a cushion. All cartilage is is a cushion, and it protects bones from rubbing together. Because when those bones rub together, what happens, mike . You get friction. What happens when you get friction . You get inflammation. What happens when you get inflammation . You get pain. Its not rocket science, mike. Whats happening is these cartilages are getting damaged, and that can happen several reasons. It could be an athlete who has damaged the cartilage. As we age, cartilage disintegrates. It destroys itself. Also, theyre not adequately nutrient supplied. Were obviously not eating a great wholefood diet, so the bodys not able to repair that cartilage, and if you add in the fact that a lot of americans have put on weight americans are gaining weight, it seems like epidemic proportions. Well, think about it, mike. That excess weight is now causing a lot more weight to come down on these bones. If that cartilage starts to get hard and brittle or it disintegrates, those bones are gonna start rubbing together. So thats whats happening in the human body. Exactly, in the human body. And this is just a knee, but a lot of people, they have, you know, pain in the elbows or the shoulders, right, and you mentioned the knees. Exactly. All over the place. These joints are connected and protected by cartilage. Well, no pharmaceutical drug, in my opinion, will ever help your body. All its gonna do is send a signal to your brain to stop feeling the pain. It makes you just forget about it. Exactly. And then it just gets worse. Exactly. It gets worse because they didnt address the issue. The issue is, mike, you need to work on that cartilage because guess what. You still got to walk, you still got to play with the kids, and you still got to go get the mail, and you still got to go to work, and every time you walk or move your shoulders or step on your ankle, that cartilage is trying to protect the bones from rubbing together. I say thats absolutely wrong. Your body does not need to fall apart. Michael, im nearly 50 years old. I have no aches in my body. I run circles around 20yearolds. I just hiked the grand canyon. I can literally do things now that i couldnt do in college. Wow. Having no joint pain will completely change your quality of life. Ive helped thousands of people change their quality of life by doing one simple thing taking arthrid twice a day. Because what it does, mike in the short term, its going to send the response to the brain to not feel the pain. You know, you mentioned earlier you brought up the cox2 inhibitor. Isnt that whats in the drugs or thats a pharmaceutical version. Thats a great point, mike, because the pharmaceutical industry would like you to believe that a cox2 inhibitor can only happen in a drug form, and thats a lie. Cox2 inhibitors are naturally occurring in your body, and what they do is theyre going to help you with inflammation, theyre going to help you with pain, and at the same time, then mike, think about this we are going to bring the body back to balance. Think about it like your car. Why do you use oil in your car . Just to keep the parts working. Exactly, keeps the parts working, and what it does, if you watch the car ads, oil cuts down on friction. Sure. Synovial fluid in cartilage cuts down on friction. It allows your joints to be more mobile, more flexible, with no friction. Right. If you dont have friction, mike, you dont have inflammation. If you dont have inflammation, you dont have pain. Now and this product has. Both natural cox2 inhibitors. All types of joint pain, knee pain, back pain cause the pain is really it really doesnt matter where it is. Doesnt matter. Its the same thing. Its just inflammation. Its inflammation. Exactly. And what were going to do is were going to introduce the body to natural components to allow the body to heal itself. I teamed up with a doctor friend of mine in florida, dr. Rick nelson, owns a geriatric specialty, which means that he specializes in the elderly, and our phrase is and im proud of this our phrase is we help people age gracefully. Okay. Thats our phrase because his number one every patient that comes in to him, number one, is joint pain. Doc, i cant even walk with my wife anymore because i have lowerback pain. Golfers cant play golf anymore. Give me a quick ill tell you a quick story. Just not two three weeks ago at the club, i bumped into a guy, dont even know him. His names gary. Gary comes up to me. He doesnt even know what i do for a living. He sees me on the stepper, and hes complaining about his knee, and im talking to him about golfing. Hes got a i dont know anything about golf, but hes got a three handicap. I guess thats pretty good. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, hes traveling to texas to be in a tournament, and hes in the Senior Division cause hes 55 years old. And he says, jim, im telling you, my left knee is hurting me so bad that i can barely golf anymore. And he said, ive tried all the he said, i tried the drugs, then they pulled them from the market. Ive tried these products, and nothing worked. And i said, gary, ive got a product for you. Id just like you to try it. And i said, the reason why this one is going to work for you, gary its not just glucosamine and its not just chondroitin. Its the synergistic blend. Thats why its going to work for you. I handed him a bottle. Three weeks later and i thought he was just pulling my leg three weeks later, he comes, jim and hes laughing, and i said, whats so funny . He said, i was just playing golf in a tournament in texas, and my knee does not hurt at all. Wow. Now, thats impressive. Sure. Mike, i didnt create this product. Its all natural, comes from the earth god created it. Yep. Its all natural, and what it does is it takes the body and puts it back in balance. Thats how it works. Mike, i said earlier i dont believe in a coincidence. I believe in fate, okay . I met the woman who introduced me to this product by fate. She heard me talking about my joint pain, introduced me to this product, and i believe that was destined to happen. I believe that someone today is tuning in to this program thats laying on the couch and is living in pain. They have joint pain, back pain, they have knee pain, arthritis, and they cant walk. Youre just not able to enjoy the quality of life that you deserve. Try this product. I guarantee it. It works. If it doesnt work, send it back, and ill personally refund your money, but i promise you theres somebody watching today that fate has caused them to turn on this channel, and youre sick and tired of being in pain. Youre sick and tired of not being able to enjoy the quality of life that you deserve. Let us allow you to give you back that quality of life. Today is your day to get out of pain. You had mentioned you take how does it work . You take two capsules twice a day . Two capsules twice a day. Now, again, were not talking about a drug. Were talking about a natural approach. If you have severe joint pain like i did i had chronic joint pain. Every my knees, my back im not kidding. I always have a smile on my face, mike. You know that. You know me, i always have a smile, but i was living in constant pain, because i did i abused my body. I played football, basketball, i was a gladiator. I got beat up. Sure. I was always in pain. Im no longer in pain. How long does it take, really, for it to work . Because we were talking earlier. You were saying that because of the human body and because of the abuse weve actually cause of the abuse that we put on our bodies throughout the years, whether its through bad nutrition, through, like you said, through athletics, or just our everyday lives, people, sometimes, are looking for an immediate result because of these drugs that trick the brain. Right . How long does Something Like arthrid take . It really depends on the body. A lot of factors involved. Sure. How well are you eating . Right. Ive got a really good friend of my wifes, carolyn, and carolyns got two kids in college, and they go to Northern Illinois university, and carolyn tells stories of why she just loves, a couple times a year, going up to the university and just seeing the campus with her kids. Imagine this 48 years old, not even 50 yet. The last time she went to visit one of her daughters on campus, her daughter had to push her around in a wheelchair because she couldnt walk around. Her knees and hips bothered her so bad. It was demoralizing. She was in tears. She said, jim, can you imagine . Im just going to visit my daughter at college, and she has to push me around in a wheelchair. And i said, carolyn, try this product. About four weeks later, she came back and said, jim, my hips no longer hurt. As a matter of fact, i started running again. She had to stop running. First, she stopped running cause it got so bad. Then she started power walking, cause she needed to control her weight, and guess what now shes running again. Thats amazing. Thats amazing, but it gave her back the quality of life that everyone deserves. If you eliminate pain, mike, so that the bones dont rub together, so you dont have friction, guess what. That is how you eliminate the problem, not a drug. Remember, we talked about the nail. First, take the nail out. Now, if you still need some pain, well address that, but lets get rid of the nail. Thats what arthrid does. It addresses the problem. The problem, not the symptom. Were looking at it all wrong. Doctors are looking at it all wrong. When you walk in to your doctor and you say, ive got pain, then instead of asking, lets figure out where the pain is coming from they just write you a prescription. Here, take this. You wont be in pain anymore. You wont have any pain. And you think youre all better. Yeah, and now they even open Rehab Centers because theyre writing so many prescriptions for pain. Its an epidemic in the United States. People are going to get drugs for pain. Now they got to go to rehab just to get off the drugs instead of addressing the problem. The problem is youve got to get your body back in balance. Youve got to get the cartilage in your body to start absorbing nutrients again, to absorb water, because its a cushion. That cushion protects your joints from colliding. Remember, collision when they start to rub together, youre going to get friction. Let me give you a great example and im telling you, god is amazing, and i thank him every day that he brought me to where i am with this formula, because i told you knew earlier, my wife suffers. You had mentioned, too, that she had severe foot pain. Oh, foot pain. You cant even describe you talk about pain. Couldnt even walk. Its debilitating. She started taking this formula, and through her doctor helping us luckily, her doctor is a really great doctor, and he does believe that the future of arthritis is in natural products. Hes been helping us take this product in conjunction with her drugs. Now she is able to take the lowest amount of her drugs because, mike there are some people out there like your wife, you said. They have been in pain for so long and its so severe that, realistically, theyre not just going to go off their drugs right away. Absolutely. Mike, thats a great point. Get with your doctor because, like you said, think about this the great news here in america over 50 of americans have now figured out that the way that were currently practicing medicine has failed, so they are seeking out alternative physicians. More people last year visited an alternative physician, a physician who doesnt use drugs, than the practicing m. D. s. Theyre calling them alternative now. Alternative now, yeah. Theyre called alternative because the alternative is other than drugs. Well, what happens is these doctors are now realizing that there are products like arthrid that are actually working, so theyre helping people wean themselves down off of the pharmaceuticals while allowing arthrid to take away the pain, and hopefully, one day, get you totally off the drugs, because drugs are chemicals. Jim, earlier we talked about some of the people that have experienced results, but you also have some more amazing stories. Tell us a little bit about some people that have benefited from this formula. Let me tell you about randy. I told you i do a lot of training. I dont train athletes, i dont train movie stars i train ordinary people, and ive got a guy, randy, ive been working with for a while. Well, one day, he comes to the club, and he says, jim, you know, i didnt mention anything, but, you know, the last couple of weeks, he said, my joints have been aching. My knees bother me. My ankles bother me. Its not bad yet, but its bad enough. And he said, im thinking about canceling working out this week. That was the perfect opportunity for me to introduce him to arthrid. I said, randy, you know i dont push products on you, but let me tell about a product that ive been taking for about five years, and i feel like im 20 again. All my joints feel great. Gave him the product. Three weeks later, hes still exercising, still working out as hard as ever, joint pain totally eliminated. Wow. Now, mike, lets talk about that. How did we eliminate the joint pain . Remember, we didnt mask over the symptom like the pharmaceuticals do. What did we do . We went to the problem and fixed the problem. Naturally. Naturally. Jim, we only have a couple minutes left. Are there any last thoughts youd like to leave our viewers . Absolutely, mike. You know, for years, i suffered with joint pain so bad that i could barely sleep, and ive tried every product on the market. Ive been in the health and wellness industry for over 25 years. Trust me ive tried them all with no success. I found this formula a little over four years ago, and its changed my life. I know that it can change your life. Im so confident that arthrid can eliminate all of your joint pain that if you try this formula and it doesnt work for you as well as it has worked for me and thousands and thousands of other people, send the product back and i will personally refund your money. Im that confident, mike. Well, jim, its been an amazing show. Well have you back. Folks, if youve been watching and you suffer from joint pain, back pain, knee pain, elbow pain, if youre one of the millions of americans that suffer with arthritis, if youre suffering from joint pain, knee pain, foot pain, back pain, or if you know someone who is, pick up the phone and give us a call.
