My pain began in 1961. In 2002, my prayers were answered. Now, nearly 5 years later, I’m still PAIN FREE!

My name is Jearaldean “Jerri” Rush. I was born in the great state of Mississippi, where I live today. In 1962 doctors told me that in 5 years I’d be in a wheelchair. I refused to let that happen, but I paid for my determination with agonizing pain. For 40 years I couldn’t tie my shoes, open a jar or button my clothes. Every step I took was torture. In October, 2002, God inspired me to read a mailer from Catherine’s Choice®. Now the pain is gone. My nightmare started when I was seven months pregnant with my second child. My husband was away on a hunting trip.

In the middle of the night, my baby daughter woke up crying. When I got up to go to her, I couldn’t move! By morning I was in so much pain I had to crawl down the stairs. By the time my son was born the following February, I could hardly use my hands to take care of him. My knuckles turned red and throbbed like a toothache. My hands and knees were swollen. I felt terrible.
I was in agony!
My doctor did not know what to do. It was so bad I cried all the time. Finally I went to see the specialists at the University of Chicago hospital. I could barely walk up the steps, my knees were so swollen. I had no clue what was wrong. After a week of tests, the doctors told me to go home and take 2 aspirin 4 times a day. They had no medicine that could help me. That was when they told me “You will be in a wheelchair within 5 years.” I began to cry and something in me just snapped. I said boldly, “No, I won’t!” I think those words are what saved my life.
The pain destroyed my marriage. But I
wouldn’t let it destroy me!
I lived with my Mom, who helped me. I lived in scalding hot baths daily. 3 or 4 times a day I put my hands in melted hot paraffin to ease the pain. It helped — but only some! And deformity was setting in. My hands looked grotesque. I was so ashamed of them, I hid them as much as I could. I had two very small children to care for, physically and financially... and I was SICK. My family was my hands. They opened doors for me, opened jars, buttoned clothes, did everything I could not do.
It hurt to tie my shoes.
It hurt to brush my teeth.
My feet hurt so bad I could not stand to wear my shoes. I had to tie a hanky to my hand to brush my teeth. I even had to use pliers to turn on the ignition in the car because my hands were denied of strength. For forty long years I existed for the next pain filled day. To support my children, I worked as a secretary, even though taking shorthand and typing was torture. I kept my pain quiet, as I needed a job.
Nothing worked for long.
In 1982 I started going to my present doctor. He’s a wonderful man who tried everything in his power to relieve my suffering. He gave me medicine after medicine. At first my body would get relief, but soon it would become ineffective. I can’t tell you how many drugs I have taken. I took it all!
I was so tired of being sick!
In 1994 I remarried. My husband was a great Christian man and was so kind to me. He would physically pick me up out of bed so many mornings and drive me to the office. He gave me injections every week and I cried because I hated them. I was sick and tired of being SICK! Then, in September 2002, that good man passed away. Somehow, I got through the wake and burial. I took off two weeks and then went back to work.
That was when I discovered
Catherine’s Choice® Aloe Vera capsules.
One day, soon after returning to work, I was going through some papers and came across a booklet on Catherine’s Choice®. It was as if an inner being wanted me to order it. I picked up the phone and spoke to Stewart Dawson. He was so nice! I had the Aloe Vera capsules in a few days. I started taking it October 24, 2002. And after one week, I felt great. NO PAIN! In November, 2002 I went to my doctor and he started examining my hands, arms, knees, etc. as he usually does. He remarked, “Man, I knew that stuff was doing a good job, but I did not know it was this good! Your hands are fantastic and your complexion is great.” I replied, “Dr. Owen, I have a secret.” He said, “What have you done now?”
My doctor was amazed!
I took my bottle of Catherine’s Choice® Aloe Vera capsules out of my purse. He looked at it and asked me how long I had been taking it and where I had gotten it. I answered all the questions. He said, “Whatever you are doing, keep doing it, you look great!” I asked him when I needed to come back (I was a regular at his office). He told me that it was my call, whenever I thought I needed to. My family and friends can’t stop talking about my improvement because they are all witnesses to my pain and tears! I have told so many people and they ask me for order blanks or the 800 number. I am still doing great. I feel great too. I can get out of bed in the morning without having to soak my hands in hot water!
The relief I had been praying for.
I know God had his hand in leading me to order the Catherine’s Choice® Aloe Vera capsules. I had prayed and prayed for an answer, not knowing where and how it would come. My pastor prayed for me for years. Within a week after starting Catherine’s Choice® Aloe Vera capsules there was a tremendous difference. I could hardly believe my miracle. The Catherine’s Choice® detoxified my body and got rid of any excess fluid. My feet were so swollen, now my shoes are too large for me! Even my handwriting is greatly improved. I feel so much better. I wish my husband could see me! He was such a great man. There is a lot more to my life story that I can’t write. I endured much heartache and pain. My Mom was a witness to the decline in my health and the pain I endured. I don’t know what I would have done without her, or my children who have helped me all these years.
It has been my salvation!
Catherine’s Choice® Aloe Vera has really been a miracle product for me. My family is just amazed! So much so my sisters and my daughter are all ordering some, just from knowing what it has done for me! I am just elated with this product. Truly it is a miracle. I intend to take the Aloe Vera capsules from Catherine’s Choice® forever! They have literally saved my life!
