Here's an article by Dr. Andrew Weil on Dr. Sarno and back pain from the Calgary Herald:
http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/reallife/story.html?id=4a20256a-1768-4924-9e96-9ecb6c8d520f
He says, "I'm convinced that Sarno is right and treatment should be aimed at changing patterns of thinking, feeling and handling stress, all of which have led to the pain."
But then he gives some suggestions for temporary relief, such as relaxation, yoga, bodywork, electrical stimulation, exercise, and massage.

Well, at least Weil is acknowledging Sarno, which is very positive! Even if he does't totally "get it," having him validate Sarno's theories will hopefully get more people to accept the mind-body connection to pain.

Thanks,
Maybe soon Canadians will get educated about Sarno. We sure could use some TMS docs up here! |

Happy to see Dr. Sarno acknowledged.
I had those electric thingies when I had butt pain. Felt good for about 20 minutes then the pain was back.
One of my first exposures to Dr. Sarno was in one of Dr. Weil's books, Spontaneous Healing. Talked about a person with a SHATTERED disc who had no more pain after a visit and work with Dr. Sarno. That was when I began to feel hopeful after diagnosis of doom from orthopedist!
Thanks for sharing the article.

I like the way you phrased that "diagnosis of doom." That's what they give us most of the time, isn't it? Wonderful for morale....
