| FOOTBALL referee Peter Gibbons claims he Mas crippled by arthritis until a new “wonder drug” freed him from pain. Mr Gibbons (51). a caretaker for Habergham Sixth Form Centre in Burnley, played football for Colne Dynamoes during the 60s and 70s and went on to become an amateur league referee. That was until two years ago when his body suddenly “seized up". “I couldn’t walk. run. or pick anything up, and was stooped over like an old man.“ he said. "I lost two stone in a month and every joint in my body was affected. It was a real shock." Mr Gibbons, married to wife Jean, was off work for 10 months. He gave up his referent post and couldn’t play with his grandchildren. Doctors gave him drugs and injections,


changed his diet and called a halt to his drinking.


Gradually, he got a bit better and went back to work where colleagues did their best to

The daily substance he took, Arthro Vite. was developed by a Czechoslovakian specialist. Staff at Burnley distribution company Westgate Business Centre say the drink contains collagen, which is found in joints and cartilage. Partner Heather Crowe claims her own husband Andrew benefited from the

The Product - A Success Story


If painful joints, aches and stiffness prevent you from living life as you’d like .............................. perhaps it’s time lo reach for some help.


Thousands of arthritis and rheumatism sufferers worldwide have already benefited from this convenient health drink, offering a respite from the pain of


every day activities. In addition, hundreds of professional sportsmen and women, including several


premiership football clubs, have reaped the benefits. The protein supplement drink, which comes in a handy powder form, is the result of over 40 years of research by eminent Czechoslovakian professor Dr Milan Adam. With 12 years of widespread use in Czech hospitals (1.5 million cans alone last year), the product is rich in collagen, the very protein attacked by arthritis. Collegen is non-addictive and completely natural. By treating a substance culled protein hydrolysate with enzymes Dr Adam discovered how to produce collagen in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Whatsmore, the product is also available in form suitable for arthritic cats and


dogs. The drink has been so successful that national interest is high; scientists from Blackpool Victoria Hospital, as well as some of Britain’s top Rheumatologists, are carrying out their own research and the signs are very positive. Mr Adam’s own medical research has also been published. But a quick look at some of the many testimonials former sufferers have sent us say much, much more about the product. Almost all tell us of pain relief,


increased mobility, loss of swelling and better quality sleep. The Response - What the Sufferers Say


“Having been sceptical about the possible benefit to be derived from your product, desperation made me try it. I have taken the powder as prescribed for two months and I am glad to be able to report that the agonising pain I have been experiencing for the last five years has all but disappeared.’’ M. William-Mason (Hytho, Kent.)


“After just 10 days the arthritis in my lower spine completely went, It had


been a misery to go to bed > now 1 lay relaxed and out of pain. Also the symptoms of clinical depression have largely lifted.” J . Randall (Pcnarth, South Glam.)


“I was accepted onto the disabled register. I first experienced pain relief just three weeks later, and now I am still completely pain free. I can’t thank you enough.” A. Crowe (Burnley, Lancs.)


“I think more arthritis sufferers should have the opportunity to use ArthroVitc. I am now able to continue my life virtually pain free.” Miss S. Adcwale (Blackburn, Lancs.)


“I have experienced such relief after taking ArthroVitc. I am almost completely free of pain killers I cannot thank you enough.” Mrs D. Schofield (Blngley W. Yorks.)


“I couldn’t walk, run or pick anything up. and I was stooped over like an old man. I didn’t feel any different for the first four weeks. Then the joint swellings went down, Ihe movement came back and I could run. go swimming and pick things up again.” P. Gibbons (Burnley, Lancs.)
