oxygen deprivation

I’ve been working out in my head whether the Sarno method is compatible or opposed to the neuroplasticity approach. (And I guess, there’s a third method—eliminating perceived danger/adrenalin.) John Sarno says the thousands of patients healed by his method are proof enough that it works. I...

Hi everyone, I have a particular question, as i have read everything written regarding TMS, i practice somatic experiencing work and have healed myself from TMS many years ago. This past 3 months i am quite debilitated with it, this time not in the back but in the leg, not muscle pain by...

Hi, I've been following Alan Gordon's most recent pain programme lately, and I noticed how he talks about pain in terms of 'neural pathways' instead of Dr Sarno's theory of 'mild oxygen deprivation'. Does anyone know the reason for this different interpretation? Does it ultimately matter, and...

Hey all, These forums have been incredibly helpful; I am having some acute back pain and have been put on a medrol pack which has calmed things down. I have been journaling and I re read heading back pain. I am still scared of an acute back episode occurring again. I was reading the...

I have what I believe to be confirmed TMS in the wrist area. I had an MRI on the area about eight months ago, which showed nothing out of the ordinary. Out of curiosity, I was thinking about requesting a copy of my MRI to see if it showed mild oxygen deprivation to the area. Is this something...

Hello all. I have been wondering afrer doing some reading and seeing my TMS doc twice. I had so many questions I forgot to ask him. He said 40% of the TMS people suffer with is due to oxygen deprivation to that area. This makes alot of sense to me but made me wonder how do we improve the oxygen...

A few months ago researching pain relief methods I came across Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers(I considered building one myself and there are some great tutorials on-line). I have never tried one but some have claimed incredible benefits. Its a newspaper anecdotal example but its interesting >>...
