Customer Rating: Summary: A MUST READ Comment: 12/26/08
Great book! Once you understand it and beleive in it, it all comes together. Customer Rating: Summary: Life Saver Comment: John Sarno's books freed me of a life of debilitating pain. When I developed excruciating back pain years ago, I took the typical medical route and saw a number of doctors and also had the x-rays and MRI. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and disc bulges. By the grace of God, I came upon a recommendation in a magazine for Sarno's books on back pain. I saw chiropractors, physical therapists and 2 surgeons who wanted to operate, but I persisted with the books. Slowly my pain subsided and eventually went away completely. When I have an occasional recurrence, I go to the books and journal about the stresses in my life, and I recover from the pain within a few days. I only wish more people, particularly physicians, could OPEN THEIR MINDS to Sarno's diagnosis and treatment of mind/body disorders, particularly back pain. The surgery and drugs being used to treat and perpetuate pain disorders is a crime of modern medicine. Sarno is truly a pioneer in the medical world. Customer Rating: Summary: Read before back surgery Comment: This book has healed countless friends and relatives of their back pain. My husband was preparing for back surgery, we bought this book, he read it and he didn't need back surgery any more. I know it is weird but it is true. Customer Rating: Summary: Literally A Lifesaver Comment: Dr. Sarno's book was literally a lifesaver for me. I had heard about his revolutionary theories on the radio, and was fascinated with the mind-body connection. I don't have any back pain, but read the book applying the same theories to my migraines and frequent heartburn. The results were amazing. Improvement didn't occur overnight or without many, many re-reads of this book. But I credit Dr. Sarno and his theory regarding TMS as minimizing the impact of these chronic conditions in my life. After one year, I experienced probably about a 90% reduction in the occurrence of migraines and 80% reduction in the incidents of heartburn.
Dr. Sarno's theories won't work for everyone. But for those open to exploring the mind-body connection, I believe his thought-provoking theory of pain is a revelation and provides an effective way to reduce chronic pain. It definitely worked for me.
Customer Rating: Summary: Too narrow minded of a view Comment: I understand that sometimes back pain can be in your mind, but to attribute every type of back pain to always being in your head is a little far fetched.
