| I just want to let some of you know about a book that helped me alot last year in my recovery from TMS. Its called "there's a spiritual solution to every problem" by Wayne Dyer. Many references to TMS, without calling it by name. I found this book on CD at my local library, and I can't get enough of it. |

Thanks for the book tip! I'm always searching for a new read, as I find many that have been recommended on this board invaluable to my recovery.

| Some other good reads for the spiritual side of TMS are Deadly Emotions by Don Colbert and A More Excellent Way by Henry Wright. These books are geared towards Christians. |

Thanks for the good ideas on books to read. If anybody else knows of some good ones let us know. I have heard, but yet to read, books by a lady named, 'Louise Hay'. Any reviews on her works would be appreciated.  |

Marq,
I have How to Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. For me, the most intriguing part of the book is a directory she gives of head to toe body ailments and their spiritual/psychological equivalents. IE, hemarrhoids = feeling overburdened, knee pain = inflexible attitude, etc. Really fascinating because if you think about the emotion or issue listed with each ailment you can have some great insights.

Hey Windy!
That book has been one of the best 'refineries' if you will,of the experience's I have had with plain 'ol TMS AND the laundry list of other 'maladies' I've been afflicted with along the way.
The first time I cracked it open I was still a Hardcore fundamentalist Sarno-ite(Actually....I still am)...but to the exclusion of all other info.After being painfree for a few years though,I cracked it again and realized that almost ALL of my 'maladies' had some sort of Psychological foundation.
Ms. Hay is so spot on,it's eerie.It's kind of like the "cliff Notes" on TMS.It gives me a headstart/clue to where to begin looking for the source.It's saved me miles of journaling by isolating specific symptoms to specific situations.Freud actually believed the same thing.He just never had enough data to verify it,and so much of it is anecdotal that it's hard to convert into scientific numerically sound data
But it's oh so true.

| I had a kidney stone removed two years ago. Right now, I'm pretty sure I'm dealing with another one (the symptoms are identical). Louise Hay would call these "lumps of undissolved anger". Undissolved anger? Me? Naaaaaah, it couldn't be... |

Thank you for the Louise Hay reviews. I think it might be time to put down Wilbur Smith for a while(which I just can't concentrate on) and read the only type of book my brain enjoys reading at the moment which is Sarno and meditation / self help. Getting the brain to switch off is really my last big hurdle I have to conquer.

I have recommended Louise Hay's book to just about everyone I know. Baseball is right - she's so right about everything it is a bit eerie. My mother just went into the hospital 10 days ago for emergency gall bladder removal. I looked up gallstones and Ms. Hay writes "Bitterness. Hard thoughts. Condemnation. Pride." Oh, my gosh! She could not be more right!!! In fact, my mother is probably the most bitter person I know (aside from my father). After the gall bladder was removed she developed fluid in her lungs, which had to be drained. Now, she is having liver problems (it appears now the liver has an abcess and is infected). I looked up "infection" and found "irritation, anger, annoyance" again, my mother. Then, I looked up "liver problems" and found "Chronic complaining." I have never in my life known anyone who complains more than my mother. She complains when it's hot, when it's cold, when it's too sunny, when it's too cloudy...She is the biggest complainer. It is so difficult to ever be around her because it is pure negative energy. All she does is sigh constantly and complain about how much she "hates people" and all the injustices that she feels they cause her. She was like a ticking bomb - ready to go at any moment.
Another interesting one that I've found with both of my parents, is that they have persistent bad breath. I mean, sometimes it's so bad it's hard to be in the same car with them (I usually have to roll the windows down). One day, I looked up "halitosis" to see what Ms. Hay would say and the answer almost made me laugh - "Rotten attitudes, vile gossip, foul thinking." Oh, yeah, both my parents have rotten attitudes, they gossip about everyone including members of our family and I'm sure their thoughts are pretty "foul."
In my experience, Louise Hay's accuracy is uncanny. I recommend anyone with TMS to read her books.
