Sign up with GoogleI have a really sore knee that responds well to drugs, shoe inserts and bracing. I'm too young for a knee replacement. I have good days and hellish days with pain.
My brother had crippling back pain a few years ago. He couldn't move. His wife gave him Sarno's book and according to the old Mother he was up and has never looked back.
I googled and all I can find is more positive accolades for this man than Einstein and his unconventional methods and his Pain theory. (a convoluted Freudian based mind over matter affair) Personally I have long thrown out any Freudian theory having dismissed it all as the crazed ravings of a coke addled, sex besotted Madman.
I told the old mother that nothing was really helping my damaged knee 100% except industrial strength pharmaceuticals and, besides x-rays don't lie about the extent of the damage . She (an obscure type of Yoga instructor which we don't have here yet) said that I should "read Sarno" and two of her friends, both with knee problems, needing knee replacements had cancelled their ops after reading Sarno, and in the one friend, "her knees responded to her removing herself from some ongoing stresses, in six months she was pain free." and this friend " has always been pretty good at, communicating with her subconscious, and ignoring limitations and lack that might emerge from those hidded depths." but, after a long email interrogation, just short of a virtual waterboarding, she admitted to me the other friend "unfortunately comes under the 5% that cannnot be helped, unless psychotherapy is also used."
So what I want to know is does anyone have experience with the Sarno method of pain control which in a nutshell is this:
Is he a Messiah or just another mainstream medicine avoiding Quack. I'd like to know because it seems so many people swear by his methods and I can't seem to find much that refutes them.
