Movie Star
Fights Arthritis
HOLLYWOOD — Frankie Avalon al-
most didn’t make the movie Back to the
Beach with Annette Funicello. Frankie
was experiencing pain in his fingers that
was so intense, he couldn't work.
His doctor diagnosed his condition
Frankie Avalon
as osteoarthritis, but
nothing the doctor
gave him relieved the
pain. Because of the
side effects, Frankie
couldn’t take ste-
roids or injections.
On the advice of a
friend, Frankie visited
an herbalist who in-
troduced him to a product now called
ZERO PAIN*. ’’That visit certainly
changed my life for the better,” says
Frankie, a former spokesperson for the
Arthritis Foundation.
ZERO PAIN is a natural herbal roll-on
pain reliever that provides deep pen-
etrating warmth through a patented
Lipoceutical* delivery system, along
with an ingredient that, according to a
leading consumer magazine, when ap-
plied continuously actually blocks the
pain signals being sent to the brain.
“I’ve tried other creams and lotions
but nothing relieves my pain like Zero
Pain. Some people are calling Zero Pain
a medical miracle, but I believe break-
through is more precise,” says Frankie.
