Unexplained pains

What you got ? Back pain, leg pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, kundi pain, pain shooting down the leg from the back (sacro-iliac joint)? It hurts like hell but you don't really know why the pain started? No, that explanation that you came up with two days after the pain started and then simply believed afterwards doesn't count.

If this is you AND you have an open mind, then let John Sarno talk to you and find yourself free of pain.

This has had a tremendous impact on my immediate personal circle. People suffering from some sort of long term/recurring pain - my self, wife, mother, brother, father, friend (Carpal Tunnel), brother's friend all read it. Of these, mine was probably the one that lasted the shortest. That list includes people who had pains for years, people who were in a virtual house arrest because of the pain, people who could not participate in any sports or exercise, people who couldn't sit in front of a computer for any decent length of time.

The common thread - no doctor would diagnose an actual damaged tissue or broken bone in their body. Slipped/degenerated discs don't count as causes! Read the book and you'll see why. Not every person who's been recommended this book has read it. However, every single one of those who read it is doing well today. By simply reading this book and really following it! The book is very well written for anyone who has a good degree of scientific skepticism. But this will probably not work for the diehard scientistists and doctorists. No one can help those. To them, I say "Enjoy your pain!". In fact, my only suggestion for improvement for the book that I'd recommend to Sarno is to work on getting through to these people as well.


I hate to back up facts that can stand on their own merit by citing the names and qualifications of people who concur. But a come-down from this position for once is alright since this could end up helping some lead a much better life. Read the reviews of common people like you and me on that Amazon page if you want to hear how it worked for others. Dr. Sarno is a professor at New York University's medical school and is the director of rehabilitative medicine at the Rusk Institute. The Harvard-Radcliffe RSI group recommends two of Dr. Sarno's books very strongly. Several other physicians have contributed to his latest book A divided mind. But I shouldn't have to say all this if you pay attention and analyze/question everything in the book for yourself, rather than trying to view this as the opinion of someone authoritative.

One note - of course, if you do have a broken bone or torn tissue, this doesn't apply to you!
