Book Description
Learn how to relieve chronic pain for good with this life-changing New York Times bestselling book. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause, leaving patients desperate–and still in agonizing pain. Dr. Sarno reveals how many painful conditions–including most neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitises–are rooted in repressed emotions, and shows how they can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or surgery. Broken down into three sections, Dr. Sarno takes the reader through the psychology, physical manifestations, and treatment of Mindbody Disorders. Informative and accessible, The Mindbody Prescription is a revelatory book that gives hope to long-sufferers of physical pain–that they may regain a feeling of comfort and safety in their bodies. "My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life."" - Howard Stern

To Be or Not to Be... Pain-Free

Author: Marc D. Sopher
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1410707865
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 206

Book Description
Much of the chronic and recurrent pain and discomfort that we all experience is psychologically induced. This psychologically induced pain is called TMS, or The Mindbody Syndrome. TMS most commonly affects the back, neck, and legs, but can affect any part of the body or organ system. Some common TMS disorders include headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), and fibromyalgia. Using todays popular lingo, TMS is a mindbody disorder the symptoms arise from the mind and are experienced by the body. Thus, The Mindbody Syndrome is an appropriate title. With the information in this book, I am optimistic that you will be able to eliminate your pain, no matter where it is. You will do this with knowledge. Simply by changing how you think about the connection between your brain and body, you will begin to feel better. I will not be recommending oral medication, special exercises, surgery, injections, physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, massage therapy or any other of the multitude of alternative therapies that have sprung up in an effort to combat the explosion of chronic and recurrent pain in our society. Just knowledge.

The Divided Mind

Languages : en
Pages : 515

Book Description
The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders. The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind.

The Great Pain Deception

Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
The Great Pain Deception takes us on a compelling expedition into the late Dr. John Sarno's seminal work on TMS, The Mindbody Syndrome. Dr. Sarno has stated that Steve Ozanich "humanized my work." It has been successful in helping many thousands of people to heal from various health disorders, including chronic pain and disease. Describing in detail, Steve walks us through his life of chronic pain to freedom after his discovering of TMS. He then delves deeper into the causes and effects of both pain and disease, synthesizing a new paradigm in understanding our health and healing. TMS is the missing link that has been steadfastly searched for in healing. However, it remains controversial just as all new truths that come to be. Healing from most chronic pain and many other health disorders does not require surgery, drugs, or any medical modality, only a deeper understanding. The Great Pain Deception researches the psychology behind suffering, including memetics, social contagion, placebos, and why the medical industry, along with some sufferers, reject the healing solutions. The medical industry by-and-large "treats symptoms," which is a failed model in healing. We currently possess the most advanced techniques for healing back pain in the history of humankind, yet back pain has risen to become the #1 cause of disability in the world. The back pain problem has gotten worse, not better, because the industry has focused on treating pain and not on its cause. True healing occurs when the cause of pain and disease is dissolved, not by treating the structure and symptoms of the physical body. Eliminate the cause and you eliminate the suffering. The successes of The Great Pain Deception and TMS are growing and can be found online and on YouTube and inside its many pages. Success is measured in the healings themselves. This book describes the deeper understanding necessary to be well again, and more.
