Grateful Dr. Sarno and his book cured my back pain
I was having excruciating pain in my right buttock area and an MRI showed a herniated disc. Well of course after phys therapy, steroids, etc., surgery was the option left. Just the word surgery made my pain worse and I was really scared.
I first read
Mind
Over Back Pain, then in chron order, Dr. Sarno's other books, this one being the latest. I enjoyed how he shared the new things he learned in each book. I then said to myself this could be TMS (tension myositis syndrome--pain caused by oxygen deprivation to muscle or nerve or tendon or ligament due to brain). I decided to see Dr. Sarno and was diagnosed thankfully with TMS. He did look at my MRI and said the herniation was large, but likely not the cause of my pain. I have followed his study program which is outlined well in this book and 2 weeks later the pain is basically gone. I am able to walk or sit with no burning or pain, even drive, which I had not done for weeks.
Dr. Sarno's conviction in what he is doing and saying was thrilling to witness. And unlike other doctors, there is no "it could be . . . " and so "try this . . ." It is "you have TMS", this is why, and here is what to do. I loved hearing that from him.
I highly recommend all his books. I am grateful to Dr. Sarno for writing these books and helping me be pain-free and I've told him so!
I was NOT a skeptic from the beginning, however, as I believe strongly that our mind (emotion) affects our body. If you are open to learning how you can realize and accept things about yourself, your life, and your childhood, read Dr. Sarno's books.
I am thrilled I am pain-free with no surgery!
So many people have similar problems and pains, but I have seen that some are not willing to accept that their mind plays a major role and there is personal work involved.
I highly recommend this book. There is explanation of TMS, whom it affects and what to do about it, other doctors' experiences, history of other professionals (living and deceased) realizing the brain plays a part in our physical health, letters from patients, etc. It is a great book. Read it and see for yourself.

I only wish I had started reading this doctor's books sooner-
Not only did I love this book, it was my Christmas present to several friends and clients and I immediately read one of Dr. Sarno's earlier books, "Healing Back Pain". Not to sound too cliche', but this is the book the medical community does NOT want you to read. If you have ever suffered from any chronic pain or illness, read this book. Through decades of patient case studies and chapters written by other doctor's using Dr. Sarno's methods, you will hopefully gain valuable insights about your pain or illness, as I did. Here comes another cliche'-this book changed my life. If only I had begun reading Sarno's books 20 years ago.

Real Help -- No Medicine Necessary
This book goes a step further than Dr. Sarno's
Mind
Body Prescription. The latter thoroughly explains most afflictions that can be classified as TMS. The former explains the different types of emotional states and defenses that cause the TMS syndromes. I recommend both books for anyone seeking healing from the many TMS symptoms and their equivalents--from back pain, to carpal tunnel syndrome, allergies, tendinitis, etc. I've had them all, and only through Dr. Sarno's method have I experienced complete recovery, without a single drug or pain killer. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Sarno for sharing his wisdom.

Dr. Sarno's work finally expanded upon to help those who are suffering far too long
Although this book is written with Doctors in
mind
, it is wonderful to see how Dr. Sarno's work is being adapted and used in the medical community not just to treat pain, but other syndromes via both drug and non-drug therapies.
However, for serious patients who are looking for something more directed towards them I would recommend an earlier book by Dr. Sarno, "The
Mindbody
Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain".
URGENT
Urgent, this book will really change your life, if you can give an open
mind
to Dr Sarno's thesis about the origin of so much pain. Enough said!
