Hi Healingfromchronicpain, I am by no means an expert, but could the 6 week cure have been more of a placebo? The hope/belief of healing might make the pain stop the same as a surgery or a pill, but if the real shift in thinking that Sarno talks about hasn't taken place, the pain will just come...

Thank you both for your replies. I still have some pain but went from stuck in bed, panicking on the first day to becoming more mobile each day and have been walking around the house the past two days without any assistance (no cane, etc). I really let my stress levels get out of hand before...

I had issues of mysterious tooth pain for a year during a stressful time. I had root canals, etc. unnecessarily even though dentists saw nothing interesting. I definitely agree with Lauren. Once I stopped worrying about it, the pain went away. Five years later I’m fine except the pain tries to...

Hello all, This is my first post to this site. I have very similar issues to you byron_555. I'm 42 yrs old and have been experiencing my "back going out" since my 20's. I never thought about a disc problem, but once i read about disc symptoms a couple of months ago, do you know i experienced...
