PAIN-FREE FOR LIFE PROGRAM

Pain affects everything. It affects your job, it affects your relationships, it affects everything you do because when you are in constant pain, everything else is put on hold. I got to the point where I just couldnt move. When Id get out of bed in the morning and put my feet on the ground, pain would shoot up from the ankles all the way to the back of my head. I went to three different doctors; they ran MRIs on me and all said, You have herniated disks in your back. You have to watch what you do. Dont pick up anything heavy. Learn how to squat down to pick up a box.

Now, I feel great. People that I talk to about Dr. Bradys program have a hard time believing it. I tell them, Im living proofyoure looking right at it. I chop wood, cut down trees, ride my motorcycleI do anything that I want to do.

BILL, president and CEO of an industrial supply companySuffered from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain

I was in a car accident six years ago. The pain in my lower back and sciatic area lasted for about five years, until I started this program. It was a constant burning, throbbing pain. I couldnt sit for more than fifteen minutes at a time, so I had to stand up a lot at work. They even moved my computer station so I could stand while working. I wore bedroom slippers to the office instead of heels. And I ended up working part time instead of full time.

I tried the Mayo Clinic and all sorts of pain specialists. But I was afraid of taking pain pills because I didnt want to get stuck on them. I went to a chiropractor for two years of treatment, saw three different orthopedics, and received a tremendous number of steroid shots.

Nothing gave me lasting relief until I tried Dr. Bradys program.

BRENDA, corporate VP, financial adviser, mother of threeSuffered from lower back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and irritable bowel syndrome

It started when I was in ninth grade. I came home from school every day with a headache, and the pain got progressively worse throughout high school. By college, I was suffering from full-blown migraines and fibromyalgia pain. I was desperate because I was just unable to function normally. I reached the point where I was open to trying anything. I saw every doctor I can imagineacupuncturists, neurologists, and chiropractorsand tried every migraine medication on the market. Nothing helped.

But now, after going through Dr. Bradys program, I live a normal life. Im not debilitated and Im not controlled by the pain. For people in pain, like I was, there is hope and there is an answer. Its Dr. Bradys program.

CHRISSY, college student and nannySuffered from fibromyalgia and migraine headaches

I suffered from chronic back pain for thirteen years. Some days were intense. There were times I had severe sciatica with the pain running down my back, all the way down to my feet. It was difficult to walk, and I certainly couldnt bend over. Sometimes I had people put my shoes on in the morning because I couldnt do it myself. Im a contractor with a physical job, and it felt terrible when I realized that I couldnt perform the duties I used to do. I thought about leaving my profession because I couldnt physically endure the pain every day.

Now, I have a new lease on life. Im a walking poster child for Dr. Bradys programI was in severe pain and I am now pain-free. I dont have to hold back, because I know I wont hurt the next day.

DAN, contractor, builder, and fatherSuffered from chronic back pain and sciatic pain for thirteen years

I had fibromyalgia. I avoided going out and doing much because I had these zinging pains. I became kind of a hermit, even though Im a very outgoing person. Im a mom, and I love my kids, so I cant afford to not feel well. I enjoy chasing them around the yard and doing fun things together. I didnt want to feel bad playing with them.

When I heard about Dr. Bradys program and the success other people had with it, I was a little doubtful. It almost seemed too easy.

After about a month on Dr. Bradys program I felt great. I wasnt experiencing any more pain. Now, after almost a year, I still have no pain at all! To anyone in my situation: Try Dr. Bradys program.

CAROL, homemaker and mother of threeSuffered from fibromyalgia

Ive been pain-free for eight years straight. Im not living my life cautiously anymore, or with the fear of triggering the pain again. I feel like Im eighteen years old.

You start this program and all of a sudden, it changes your whole lifestylebecause you get rid of the pain permanently.

MIKE, salesman and business ownerSuffered from chronic lower back pain

My pain started when I was fifteen. If I didnt have pain in my lower back, it was in my upper back, shoulders, and head. Sometimes my left hip knotted up, and made it very difficult to sit in a chair for any period of time. Some doctors told me I had curvature of the spine (scoliosis); others told me the muscles around my spine were weak, that they werent holding the spine in place.

I love all kinds of sports, and I couldnt play any of them because my back hurt. It was difficult for me to work in the yard for long periods of time. Long rides in the car would cause a lot of back pain. It was stressful for my family when I was irritable and hard to deal with because of the pain.
