I remember Dr. Sarno saying many years ago during a lecture that you should eat whatever you want. However, I think many would agree that nutrition must have a long-term negative or positive impact on health. In addition, supplements, like conventional medicines, may have a role in some acute health problems. I believe this is more relevant for non-muscular symptoms like immune system related ones.
For example, I recently spoke with a holistic M.D. who prescribed a Pro-biotic, Vitamin D, and an herbal mixture for a persistent cough left over from a mostly resolved bout of pneumonia. I am inclined to think that the cough was TMS since it converted to severe back pain within a few days. Back pain resolved quickly once I got back to basics.
I would like to pose the following question -- what is the role of nutrition and supplements, if any, in TMS? Thanks in advance for any comments. |

None for TMS specifically, in my opinion.
For general health, one should eat a balanced, nutritious diet and avoid micronutrient (vitamin/mineral) deficiencies, with supplements if necessary.
I think Dr. Sarno's advice is aimed at those who think they have allergies or intolerances, not so much to say "Go ahead and eat McDonands for every meal".
