that means that i play at a competitive level but never turned pro. so you just beat up on your friends. exactly. ok, i got it. i got a question. tell me the truth, golf, the swing itself, makes your body do unnatural things, right? exactly. so here, show, could you do a little demonstration for me, phil? sure. show everybody exactly how this works. i'm gonna get out of your way. well the golf swing ion general is not something that the body was naturally meant to do. as you see phil doing here. so you're putting an inordinate amount of torque on your back, on your knees, through your hips. and as phil comes back through the other way, you can see that he's putting even more coming through the hips and knees. look down at this knees, what he's doing to his knees. both knees switched up. yeah you're putting force straight down and through, especially through the left knees and then you're twisting your body. and your body's really not meant to twist, it's meant to go forward and backward. give me one of those good scratch swings. give it up for our golfer! give it up

for him. tommie, the man responsible for all these incredible stories of relief with tommie copper, and that's tommie copper inventor, mr. tom kallish himself. and before he comes out, he told me that he had a very special message for all of us and i have no idea what it is so, let's take a look at it together. take a look at this. hi montel. it's 6:30 in the morning, it's been a year and a half since the accident. i'm pretty confident i can make this happen. with god's help, a little luck and tommie copper, i'm off to the races. go dan! i'm a little tired but, i couldn't be more grateful. the idea that you could come back from what i had gone through is nothing shy of a miracle. please welcome tom kallish to the show!

talk to me for a second, let's talk about that accident you had skiing, correct? how many years ago? when was that? it was about a year and 3 ago and there was a buried tree trunk under the water. nobody saw it. and when i hit it i lost my knee, my hip and two vertebrae in my back. and you know, basically, we thought it was over. and i found myself wearing the products all through the 4 surgeries i had to have, all through the recoveries, all through the rehabs. when you have a hip replacement you're not supposed to get out of the hospital for a minimum of 4 days and i was out in 30 hours. and that was because i was able to do the things they needed me to do. and i attribute it to these products i was wearing. so you dot it back. you're back to skiing out there in the water but, look, my friend. next week i'm ducking out of here and trying to go down to chile, because you know, my big thing is snowboarding. this is the 13th anniversary of my announcement of ms and i want to show people how tommie copper

gave me my life back, gave you your hip back. come on down and go snowboarding with me next week. you're inviting me on national tv to go away? yup. yup. chile. i guess i'm going to chile next week. that's what i'm talking about. the reason why you're here is to actually help people understand that the man behind the product actually stands behind the product because he uses the product. that's true. but you also started this idea of tell them, 100,000? a few months ago we started a campaign on out facebook page called 100,000 stories of relief. you know we were so interested in hearing real people, real stories, real problems, real solutions, we got over 10,000 replies from all over the world and after culling through all of these there were 2 that really brought us to tears. take a look at this. my name is april thomas. i'm 33 years old, i have 2 kids and without tommie copper i wouldn't be able to keep up with my kids or even get out of bed. my name is karen widden and before tommie copper i felt hopelessly trapped in a body filled with

pain. 3 years ago i walked around with this loose kneecap. and i tore a little out of the cartilage. i had the surgery but, it just didn't heal correctly. i could not walk. it was unbearable. for 15 years i've been dealing with pain and i have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. it felt like somebody had stood over the top of my hip with a shotgun and blasted down through my hip and it felt like my heel was blown off. i thought that there was no way out. i did want to die. i felt worthless, you know, i wasn't doing my job as a mom. it's such a great feeling to get your life back. especially when you have 2 little kids that depend on you. i really was to the point that i wanted to just give it up. then i got the sleeve and it did exactly what they said. and i've never been

happier. i can take care of my kids. i can get out of bed. there's no pain. immediately when i got the copper gear in the mail i put it on and i would say within a couple of hours i started to feel like my pain was retreating. i slept in it that night and by the next morning i was completely pain free. i don't know how to describe it. it just was gone. montel, thank you. i've got my life back. i'm not sure what i'm gonna say when i meet montel but i do want to give him a hug! ladies and gentlemen please welcome from seattle, wa, karen widden and from corpus christie, tx, april thomas. welcome them both to the show. give them a big round of applause. give me that hug. come on girlfriend. give me a hug. come on next to me. there you go. come on april, talk to me for a minute. that knee problem. how long was that bothering you before you had the surgery? it went on for 2 years. and then

after that surgery you thought you were gonna get some relief but, what happened? it basically, the cartilage was so bad gone that my knee swelled up 3 times the size it was. did you try the braces and other things? i put braces, gel, endless painkillers to where i was like, i was more sleepy than up. you could no longer keep up with your littlest one. yes. and then you had to ask someone else to step in to help you, right? and who was that that you had to ask? my son, and he's only 10. and he's right there. right? but you knew you needed to get some relief. yes. how did you find out about the sleeves? i was up one night and i was like lord is you still want me to be a momma, show me something. now wait a minute, all of a sudden you turn on the tv and there's my mug. exactly. that's what happened. i turned it on, going through the channels late at night, i couldn't sleep i was in so much pain. and there you was i said let me see. i said ok, let me just order it. and after i put

that on, i'm running again. there you go. and keeping up with the both of them, right? yes. how do you feel though. i gunna start crying again. to be a mom. that's like my joy. and if i couldn't take care of my kids, that's like somebody just ripped my child out of my life and now, i'm having fun again. i have my life back. and karen, similar right? i had a, an accident in 2005. car accident. and what were you doing? automobile accident. i injured both arms. my back, my left hip and neck. and because of that a lot of people don't understand pain medication, you know does put some weight on you. right. and the fact that you can't work out puts more weight on. right. the fact that you get stressed out because you're not working out because you're in pain puts

more weight on you. the fact that you're putting more weight on puts more weight on. right? right. and then you discovered tommie copper. i put it on right when i got it, i kept it on through the night. i woke up in the morning and like, it is gone. completely. and see, you know, hear me folks, this doesn't just give you back the motion that you had. it doesn't give you back a little bounce in your step. tommie copper gives you your life back. and so i gotta thank you ladies, thank you so much for sharing your stories with all of us. honestly. and tom i gotta thank you for sharing this amazing product with us all over the world my friend. it is truly an honor to help people in pain every day. an ultimate honor. i see there's a couple hundred people here today and it's gonna be my pleasure to say all of you are going home with our products today. that's it. everybody goes
