I got Dr. Clarke's book and have skimmed most of it. I think it is really good. I like the cause and effect relationship he notes between symptoms and some sort of emotional trigger. Another interesting thing is that he is a gastroenterologist (sp??) so most of the patients he describes suffer from stomach/bowel problems as their "stress" symptoms. Dr. Sarno specializes in Rehabilitation medicine so he sees patients with back, shoulder, elbow pains, etc.
Two very different specialities with very differnt symptoms yet all caused by the same culprit. Makes me wonder if much of modern "illness" is TMS of some sort. |

Absolutely. The medical community at large only recocgnizes 4 major causes of disease: infection, inflammation, trauma, and neoplasia. Nevertheless, a psychosomatic etiology is probably the most prevalent. We are part of the lucky few who have learned that earlier than the rest. Fortunately, I do believe that the rest will soon come around as the mounting evidence is irrefutable. Hopefully most doctors will soon recognize the 5th, and most ubiquitous, cause of human disease.
Best,
