Written: Nov 5, 2008 Scientists have known for many years that women are more likely to develop certain illnesses, which we now understand to be caused by Mind Body Syndrome.These disorders are irritable bowel syndrome and migraine headaches, which are seen about three times more frequently in...

Written by on October 15, 2008 Have you ever noticed that musicians are more likely to have repetitive stress injuries? Of course you have. But are you sure that the cause is actually overuse? What about headaches, back aches, neck aches, abdominal pain, fibromyalgia and TMJ pain? Do musicians...

Hi, I have been struggling with my left foot since August. I am, or was, a very active, fit 70 year old. The initial problem was a very painful tendon inflammation caused by my flat feet. I saw a podiatrist; received multiple shots of cortisone; had an MRI that indicated no surgery was...

Written by on October 2, 2008 Several people have asked me how they can deal with troublesome thoughts and emotions that arise. These thoughts and emotions, such as doubts about really having TMS/MBS or worry if you'll ever get better or fear about developing pain, are extremely common...

Written by on September 16, 2008 MBS Blog 13 The layers of wellness: levels of coping with TMS/MBS I have spoken to so many people who are frustrated that their TMS symptoms have not gotten better yet. They have read so many accounts of people who have read Dr. Sarno's books and immediately...

This is the second part of a blog about back pain. This blog deals with the MBS approach to understanding back pain. How can back pain occur in the absence of something wrong with the back? There is a way to explain this based on new research into how the brain changes over time...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on July 9, 2008 MBS BLOG # 8 Genetics and Mind Body Syndrome Everyone knows that genes “controls” our lives. But how powerful an influence do our genes play in our lives? Of course, these issues have been debated for many years since the discovery of genes and the...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on June 20, 2008 6—Mind Body Syndrome is contagious When I first started learning about Mind Body Syndrome a few years ago, I was struck by an account by someone who had what is known as repetitive stress injury. He wrote an eloquent account of his story, which was...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on June 15, 2008 5—Modern Medicine's Blind Spot The rapidity of advances in medicine has been staggering over the past 50 years. It has been amazing to see the proliferation of research that has helped us understand how individual cells work, how DNA is translated...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on June 13, 2008 I have discussed the relationship between the mind and the body in prior blogs. Briefly, it is important to realize that they are essentially one, i.e. there is no separation between the mind and body in the sense that physical stimuli (e.g. an injury)...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on June 7, 2008 As I mentioned in the last post, MBS is not new. As long as there have been humans, there have been physical symptoms caused by stress and emotions. It is important to realize that physical symptoms, even very severe physical symptoms can be caused by...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on June 3, 2008 It is important to realize that Mind Body Syndrome is not a new diagnosis. When Dr. Sarno described Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) in the 1970's, he created a new name for a syndrome that has actually been known for hundreds of years. I agree with Dr...

Hi, all and thanks in advance. First, some background. OK so I am a TMS serial victim going back decades. From mystery Achilles tendon pain to chronic sinus infections to gout – oh and back pain. Over the years I have kicked all of these through my TMS work, but my body then throws me a new...

Hello, my name is Tim Hutton and I look forward to participating in this forum. Though I experienced significant and bewildering TMS pain (though I knew nothing of TMS) since my early 30’s, the major turning point which out of desperation led me to digging deeply into other possibilities and...

These two videos cover virtually the same TMS material with Dr. Schechter. Back Pain Relief – Mind Body Approach Dr. David Schechter tells his TMS story Similar: Chronic Back Pain Some of his patients tell of their TMS healing success stories on other videos in the the TMS Mind Body...

Another of Dr. Schechter's patients, a young man, tells how reading Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain started him on the road to recovering from nearly four years of back pain. He then took part in Dr. Schechter's program and says he began healing right away. He says he is almost totally free of...

Dr. David Schechter posted a video success story we can all benefit from watching. In a short video, a man said he had suffered from years of back pain and an MRI showed he had degenerative back problems. He tried everything medical but nothing helped until he read Dr. Sarno's book Healing...

Just curious if anyone has had experience with this, in relation to TMS. I've been having trouble with episodes of my glands swelling (particularly my salivary glands and those in my neck, but sometimes all over) and becoming tender. Sometimes it becomes difficult to swollow and my mouth becomes...

I'll be brief with my background. I first was examined by Dr. Sarno back in the late 70's for serious back pain. I was in my early 20's at the time and was told I would need surgery to repair a degenerated disc (sounds funny now as to how someone in their 20's could have that bad of a case of...

Hello everybody, I'm new at this forum and want to introduce myself! First of all: I'm sorry for my very poor English, I hope you will understand me (I'm from Germany and TMS is unknown here). A few days ago I found some interesting text in the Internet from Dr. Sarno and by reading it I...
