Lots and lots of people who are 70 and well over 70 have recovered using the TMS knowledge of Dr. Sarno.
At some point you have to take this on faith, because opening your mind to a new way of thinking is part of this process! Depending on others to convince you is kind of a black hole, because your fearful brain will convince you that their story isn't
quite exactly like yours, therefore it's not relevant. This is your brain on TMS - it's not you! The best way to avoid this trap is to NOT ask for details. As I said - take it on faith.
I will point out that what grapefruit's mom did was to read Dr. Sarno. That's your starting point. Read Dr. Sarno, and do one of our free programs.
That's the easy part. The hard part is changing your mindset - and to trust that healing comes from within, not from others that you hope have "the answer" (trust me, we've all been there).
This forum has all the resources you need. Start with our Success Stories subforum. And check out the Thank You Dr. Sarno project - there are definitely some over-70s in there (
here's one). Read Dr. Sarno, and start doing our Structured Educational Program.
Good luck!
