 This book has made a huge, positive difference in my life. June 3, 1998

I was always glancing through the self-help back cure section of the bookstores hoping to find a miracle and I stumbled on this book. I had been suffering with chronic backpain for over a year at the time and was willing to try just about anything. I had already exhausted traditional medicine, chinese medicine and acupuncture. I was constantly applying ice to my lower back to numb it. It was having a decidely negative effect on my home life - my husband and children were suffering right along with me . For the first weeks after reading the book I continued to have spells of terrible pain but refused to resort to using ice, etc. I took the back pillow out of my car, I resumed all regular activities including cross country skiing which I had blamed for the pain in the first place. It has now been four months since I read the book and I am 90% free of pain and expect to be 100% free. It is a tough journey - I had learned to expect pain during certain activities and had to retrain my thinking. It also wasn't any fun thinking of all the ways anger was affecting me. In other words, it took some time, work and soul searching on my part to apply his theories but the payoff has been a complete return to my old life. I even went downhill skiing this spring. Please read the book and see for yourself. It could work for you too!

You can read testimonial after testimonial, and here's one more: I lived the pain and felt the pain that for more than three years defined my life. Walking and getting through the day were, at times, extreme agony. Former passions like running and biking were a memory. Fear--of flying, social engagements, lifting, and doing almost anything other than lying on a cushion in my living room--was the norm.Even after buying this book and quickly perusing it, I didn't think it applied to me, so I called Dr. Sarno, who curtly informed me, "I can't help you because you don't live in New York. Read the book. You definitely have TMS. If it still hurts, then read the book again." I can't tell you the pain miraculously went away one day. I can tell you the book made a clear case over time that the manifestations of the pain itself, e.g., switching from side to side, varying in intensity for no apparent reason, became clearly illogical...and this was the beginning of the end for the pain phase of my life. In summary, spend the ten or so bucks and do the "work" prescribed. You too will be biking, jogging, rollerblading, swimming...if that's what you want to do. It sure beats thousands of dollars and endless frustration with orthopedists, chiropractors, physiatrists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, etc. The medical profession may think Dr. Sarno is a quack, but I think these testimonials speak for themselves.

Was told by a doctor that I would be paralyzed & incontinent over 3 years ago without emergency surgery--Dr. Sarno showed another way while still having me follow through to make sure that I was mediclly sound via conventional means--referred me to a neurologist who gave me "the benefit of the doubt" and here I am stronger than ever without any surgical procedures. It's hard and emotionally painful--but it works...
End back pain forever! May 26, 1998

I was told about this book by a business associate. He was unable to bend down to tie his shoes much less play with his infant son. After reading this book he was pain free in a matter of days. Sounds too good to be true, but I had been through 10 years of pain, chiropractic, exercises, medication, hanging upside down - all to no avail. The doctors wanted to operate, the diagnisis was a herniated disk at L5. Two weeks after reading this book I was pain free. I was sceptical at first but had nothing to loose. Everyone that I have referred to this book has been 100% cured. Read it and change your life.
If you have back pain you MUST read this book. May 9, 1998

This book will change your life and your outlook on many illness'. I was told I would never regain use of my leg unless I had surgery on my back. By reading this book and by seeing Dr. Sarno my back pain was eliminated. His focus is on tension and anger and how it affects your body.
