Wish i had time to go thru the posts here, but since i dont, i'm just asking is there a page/portion where you specifically talk on dealing with physical pain, or other threads here. I tried search, but not finding yet in the moments i can check. I just heard about him. Thot i'd start a thread asking abt Dr. John Sarno, if anyone is familiar. If anyone knows or has been using his controversial but simple remedies, maybe please you can start for us, thanks.

Btw, info from the utube vid:
Dr. Sarno's most notable (and controversial) achievement is the development, diagnosis and treatment of TMS, which is not accepted by mainstream medicine. According to Sarno, TMS is a psychosomatic illness causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain which is not relieved by standard medical treatments. He includes other ailments, such as gastrointestinal problems, dermatological disorders and repetitive-strain injuries as TMS related. Sarno states that he has successfully treated over ten thousand patients at the Rusk Institute by educating them on his beliefs of a psychological and emotional basis to their pain and symptoms. Sarno's theory is, in part, that the pain or GI symptoms are an unconscious "distraction" to aid in the repression of deep unconscious emotional issues.
