    Alan G. Tried Everything...I'm Desperate

    Alan G. Tried Everything...I'm Desperate

    Yeah, hopefully you'll find it a good read.:) I was, as I mentioned, drawn to the scientific angle of the book. However, another positive factor was the technique suggested, the meditation. It is about 55 min long and is easy to grasp. I've had some really cool sensations going on. Also, since...

    Alan G. Tried Everything...I'm Desperate

    I feel for you. I just wanna throw in another suggestion - a recent source of information that had me understand feelings (fear) and the connection to health better than anything else. As Alan (and everyone else who beat TMS) implies the key is fear. The opposite is joy, gratitude, empowerment...

    Book You Are the Placebo

    wow. just wow. I was mind.blown. several times reading this book. It has "clicked" a couple of times for me, and I've gradually understood TMS better and better. But this was the last piece of that puzzle. "Finding my own inner placebo". Once you've gotten a good grasp of TMS - do three...

    On tinnitus

    Hey all, I've been thinking quite abit on this topic and could use some wise insights. Around 50mill americans suffer from tinnitus. Most of them arent bothered with it with from what I understand, they have gotten used to it or whatnot. Another term would be that they are "ignoring it". Could...

    RSI and TMS

    Hey Sam, and welcome. I see your struggle - I'm there too but ALOT better. 9 months ago I avoided using computers completely due to hand pain. Right now I feel NOTHING in my hands (instead it moved to other spots, which is a good sign). There is hope for you. First of all, you mention anxiety...

    On yoga and exercising

    Catch 22 – could use some insightful advice. Short background to the upcoming questions; Overall, I’ve struggled with “mild” chronic pain for many years, from the age of 12 (bullied) up to the full scale TMS-triggering injury in Sep-11. The pain level between the ages of 12-24 wasn’t so bad...

    Dr. Sarno Documentary - Story of Pain

    Hey storyofpain. Good to see you here on the forum. I am so much looking forward to this documentary. Hopefully it can contribute to the spreading and validation of this theory. I am certain that a invariably thorough, well-researched and easy-to-grasp documentary can act as the driver the...

    Dr. Sarno Documentary - Story of Pain

    Any updates on this documentary? Also, it would be great to get SteveO (or any of the MDs) to a TED-talk. That's surely a forum that would be open to the TMS-theory further raising awareness.
