| MSL Pointer Review:
This is a great book for illuminating how our perception of stressful events - worrying, trauma, negativity, anger - manifests itself in chronic, acute pain in the body. |

After more than 10 years of excruciating pain from fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), I've been cured...something doctors claim is impossible. I tried everything before I found this book. Conventional medicine in all forms, alternative medicine & even Chinese medicine. Nothing helped...in fact doctors hindered me from finding the truth. Though I complained often about my pain & how determined I was to find a cure, my chiropractor never mentioned Dr. Sarno's book (which he had just read) because he didn't want to lose me as a patient. So much for conventional health"care".
I found Dr. Sarno's book by chance on a bookstore shelf on the way to see a movie one Saturday night. After reading two paragraphs I sat down and immediately began to cry because I knew I'd found the answers I'd been looking for all these years. I knew Dr. Sarno was absolutely correct because, 1) I knew my pain was related to traumatic incidents in my life, 2) I realized that immediately after anything that increased oxygen to my muscles (exercise, acupuncture) the pain decreased, and 3) whenever I talked to anyone about my problems, which was rare, I felt immediately better. (All these topics are covered in the book.)
Dr. Sarno lead me down the trail of facing my true feelings & not living in denial. It's been hard work these past two months & I have to constantly remind myself that any pain can be stopped if I face my unconscious rage, but IT'S WORTH IT! I'm nearly painfree already.
My personality has completely changed & I can now interact normally with the people I love without living life through a fog of pain. I can also play the violin again which I had to quit due to the intense pain.
Don't miss this book if you have any sort of emotional pain...It will give you your life back! |

Last winter I was stricken with near-crippling lower-back and hip pain, which I initially attributed to a combination of basketball and hours of shoveling heavy snow. For more than a month, getting out of bed each morning was a painful, arduous affair that could take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. As the day wore on I would improve somewhat but was still unable to sit in a chair, let alone exercise, do yoga, or contemplate cross-country skiing or playing hoops. I sought help from doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, and an acupuncturist. While acupuncture was very helpful, my long-term cure came from Dr. John Sarno's book Mind Over Back Pain. In it, Sarno clearly explains how the vast majority of back, neck, and shoulder pain is caused by stress. The pain I felt wasn't imaginary or psychosomatic in the sense that there weren't actually physical symptoms, but the cause of those symptoms (the result of restricted blood flow to my lower-back region) came from not processing my emotions as emotions. My back took the brunt of what my mind wasn't fully able/ready to accept. In The MindBody Prescription Dr. Sarno moves beyond just the back to explain how and why the mind causes pain in any number of places in the body; he applies those insights to help heal other maladies such as allergies, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin problems, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The reason most of these ailments don't respond to drugs and physical manipulations is that these approaches don't address the root cause of the problem: unrecognized emotional turmoil. If you're suffering from an ailment that is difficult to diagnose or not responding finding to conventional, or even alternative cures, read Sarno's book. |

I had a terrible case of tennis elbow in the spring of 1999. Two different orthopedists recommended surgery after cortisone, standard rehabilitive therapy and an extended sports rehab program failed to produce lasting results. I have always regarded surgery as a last option, but the pain was so severe I felt I had no choice. I then read about Dr. Sarnos books in U.S. News and World report, and although very skeptical, bought both his Healing Back Pain and The Mindbody Prescription. The main theory sounded ridiculous to me, but I was desperate enough to give it a try, so I read both books cover to cover. How could just realizing act that my tennis elbow was caused by repressed anger cure it? Sarno said its necessary for the concept to sink in to the subconcious for it to be effective, so I spent 30 minutes a day rereading the books and making a list of anything I could possibly be angry about.In about 6 days I had a marked improvement, and within a month I was totaly cured, and that was five months ago. Numerous other minor aches and pains have dissapeared as well.I think Dr. Sarno explains how he reaches his conclusions and the basic concept well. But there is no specific step by step program for the reader to convince his subconcious that repressed rage may be the cause. So I thougt it might be helpfull to a reader for me to say that I did not get instanous results like some people, it took a bit of time and effort for the basic concept to penetrate my subconscious. And I did that by simply reading the books over to cover; making a list of things I might be angry at; and then reading some from the two books each day.I cannot recommend Dr. Sarno's books highly enough, they have saved me a lot of suffering, both now and in the future. |

My wife had headaches for over one year. From the moment she woke up to the moment she went to sleep. Life was hellish. Her neurologist said she had a problem with her neck. Her spinal colum was unbalanced and rubbing against a nerve, resulting in the headaches. He recommended we start with physiotherapy (4 months of treatment), them moved on to a chyropractor (4 months), then tried some medicine (with a nasty side effect - serious weight gain, aggressivity). We even tried acupuncture and massotherapy. Although everything worked a bit at the beginning, her headaches didn't go away. A friend who had been cured from serious bach pain said this book might help. I bought the book for my wife the next day. She read it. The first week there was no improvement. The second week she had slightly fewer headaches. The third week she had almost no headaches. The fourth week she was CURED! It is true, my wife does have a problem with her neck. I've seen the X-rays, all the doctors agreed. BUT this was not the root cause of her pain. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. |

This doctor really knows how to fix chronic pain. I went to see one of his collegues about terrible chronic muscle problems due to overuse and fibromyalgia that had spread to all parts of my body. I had been dealing with this for 3+ years; even the Mayo Clinic told me that there was nothing they could do.
I finally gave up and tried this approach as a last resort (I am horribly skeptical of all forms of non-conventional treatment.)
It seemed like a miracle when my pain cleared up and I got my life back. Most of the pain went away in 3-4 months. I still deal with it from time to time but I have the tools to deal with it now.
This approach isn't easy, but with persistence it absolutely works.
I still apply Dr. John Sarno's methods today, and am now very much in control of my disorder, thanks to his help.
I highly recommend reading it and Dr. John Sarno's book, "The Mindbody Prescription." It really does work, especially it all conventional treatment has failed you. |

Last year, as a result of incredible stress brought on by a failed relationship and career woes I gradually developed a debilitating pain syndrome. Even though I am very skeptical of the medical apparatus in this country I began to look to it for relief. Luckily a saint of a person on Ebay of all places alerted me to Dr. Sarno's work and after several months the pain began to recede. It is not easy and you MUST accept the diagnosis. But it is the real deal. Good Luck! |

This book brings Dr. Sarno's brilliant discoveries beyond back pain into other realms so common these days: fibromyalgia, chronic fatique syndrome, candida, multiple chemical sensitity syndrome... this book hit his point home for me. I want the readers to know that you really do need to be willing the book over and over again several times depending on how long going and how deeply ingrained your pain syndrome might be. Trust me though, it is worth it!!!! My own pain syndrome was unsolved by western doctors and preyed upon by holistic doctors for years until I finally discovered that only I am responsible for my own well being and only I can help myself in this way. |

I suffered through two years of debilitating back pain, visits to doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists and physical therapy. Nothing helped solve my problem, until I read Dr. Sarno's book. Within weeks I was cured....permanently. I've recommened it to otheres who have experienced identical results. This book is the back pain bible. Forget about adjusting your life around your back. Take control with this book. |

It works, it works it works! As a practicing hypnotherapist specializing in chronic illness and chronic pain,I finally know how I have succeeded with my own clients. So many times after having intuitively shaped the sessions as we went along, I have wondered just what it was that we had done that accounted for the clients relief. Now I know. Not only that, but now that I have his refined "blueprint" for success, I can get those results more frequently. My interest in using the mind to overcome pain was fueled in 1998 after watching the BBC program featuring Dr. Angel Esqudero use his "noesitherapy" the operate while the patient conversed with him...without any form of anesthesia! I have conversed with Angel via email several times and there is a definite link between his approach and Dr. Sarno's. Let me say however that Dr. Sarno has a much more streamlined program, and has obviously worked the bugs out. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1997, I had used hypnosis, NLP and other approaches to control and alter my pain successfully, but it was always in the background. Dr. Sarno literally taught me how to ELIMINATE my pain once and for all. Simply amazing! I have always enjoyed working with Chronic pain clients as they come in highly motivated and ready for change. If you are in such a position and would like to finally rid yourself of your aches and pains... get this book, read it repeatedly, follow the instructions, and I'm betting that you too will be FREE of your condition! |
