Great Book! Has lead me to succesfull healing.

I was skeptical while I read this book and I still am. However, this book has played a major role in my recovery from 15 years of sever RSI/Carpal Tunnel and 20 years of severe acid reflux/GERD... I am, thanks to this book and the choices it helped me make, completely free from antacids/proton pump inhibitors, acid blockers etc.. and 95% pain free from RSI/Carpal tunnel syndrome. If you're willing to take drugs for pain or illness, or see specialists, or have MRIs and CAT scans, why not try reading a book? I recommend this book to everyone who is looking for a life with less pain.

Saved me from further pain and immobility. Priceless!

I can go on writing about my own personal healing story, but since it is more/less simmilar to the other ones, I'll just write what I think may be useful for you people out there, looking to get better.

I was studying Vedic philosophy for over a decade and the concept of mind over matter was not new to me. In fact, 5 years of monastery life trained me to fully accept and integrate that fact into my life, but mostly in the spiritual sense.
I've had back problems for 10 years (starting when I was 24...which is ridiculous, I know) and although I knew that most ill conditions of our body come from our mind alone, I needed someone to direct my meditation and focus properly. And Dr. Sarno did it.

So, anyway, to make it short, when I heard about Dr. Sarno's methods of healing, I immediately went to search the internet for any kind of text that would give me some knowledge of how it's done.
I've found one radio interview by googling his name and some other keywords. Sat down to read it and within 45 minutes I was cured.
Miracle? Damn right! When people realize the power of our minds, there will be many more amazing miracles to behold.

To add to this, my 10 yr back problem was topped with severe painful condition that developed a few months ago and persisted without any sign of getting better. I was pretty much tied to my bed and constand adjusting, cracking my back, stretching and massaging. So much pain, I couldn't even eat properly and my finances were going downhill. Luckily, the whole drama lasted for only 10 (exremely painful) days, and it didn't end because of anything else but me finding out this interview, reading it and removing both the severe condition that occured 10 days ago, and my old condition that started almost 10 years ago. I thought, I don't even need those books, but to cut my arrogance right away, I remembered that this was only due to my previous knowledge about these things, and only because Dr. Sarno gave me the right key to the right door. I bought 3 books just to show a fragment of my gratitude. I'm recommending Dr.Sarno's books to everyone to contribute somehow myself.
Oh, and I'm reading those books almost every day. It should replace some of the useless medical junk books you have in your house.

The cure is in our mind. How wonderful!

A must read for getting you through ANYTHING!

I'm not done reading this but it has changed things a lot for me already. The mind is such a powerful tool for us to use (we've all heard that before!) but this book really helped me direct what I should be thinking about. I believe in positive thinking and it's effects but this helped me channel my thoughts to the area I needed. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and with concentrating on my thoughts.....yes...alot of my pain has disappeared. I'll always have the disease but if I can control the pain with keeping my thoughts channeled where they need to be and just being AWARE of what they are at all times....I've won. This book helped me realize what thoughts WERE in my head so that I COULD change them. Wow......be good to yourself and read it!

Great book!

This is an outstanding book for individuals dealing with chronic pain. I bought a second copy as my first had become dog-eared and water damaged from taking it with me on all my travels. An excellent approach for those with an open mind to pain management.

Dr. Sarno is the best!!!

Once again Dr. John Sarno proved to be the best. He makes so much sense and never fails to hit the nail on the head. What a guy!!!!! The book is easy to read. My pain actually disappeared as I was reading the book.

The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.

The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States.

One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind.
