Hello All,
I have not been on the board in a long time. I consider myself a TMS success story and I thank God for having found Dr. Sarno's books. His approach has been a blessing.
I will not list all the ailments (distractions) I have had. You could search my posts, or let me say this... it was a laundry list. But, I encourage you all to stay the course and JOURNAL.
I am 98% undistracted..LOL! Except for my "base" TMS, or my original TMS if you will. The culprit?...ACNE.
I believe my acne is TMS. I know it in my heart of hearts. I have had this distraction for 17 years roughly. I stopped taking medications when I found out about TMS. When I stopped my acne got a little better. Today it is much better, but not completely gone. In fact lately I have focused on it more. That is a distraction and I relise there is more mental work to do.
So here is what I am asking of you. I would like anybody with a history of skin troubles and feels they have overcome them by using TMS teachings, to lend their insights and give me some advice. I searched the forum posts, but could not pin down what I was looking for. Thanks in advance and I wish you all the best of luck.
JIMMY
P.S. If you told me when I was hurt with TMS that I would run a half-marathon some day, Play flag football competively for years now, and lift weights without fear. I would have told you..."I am really hurt here". LOL! Stay positive. |

Hi Jimmy,
Good to hear of your success.
There's a page on the TMS wiki:
TMS Skin conditions
with a couple of success stories, but it needs expanding, so if you (or anyone else) do come across any more, please do add them!
We're doing a demo tomorrow on how to edit the wiki, so do join us if you're free:

Thanks Hilary for the reply.
I went to the link for skin conditions on TMS wiki, it was helpful.
Any others with advice, info, or strategies would be appreciated.
Take care,
Jimmy |

I am convinced that tms can aggravate any physical problem.
I believe the main cause of acne, however, is diet. Hormones can also mess you up, but diet is the main offender. In my forties, when I thought I'd *never* be free of acne, I went on the Paleo diet and it disappeared, along with 2 other skin afflictions. I did not go on the diet for my acne; it was a surprise perk.
Just my 2c.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply CRK,
I have been interested in diet for general health reasons for awhile now. I have never come across the Paleo diet though.
What foods in your diet did you add and subtract?
Thanks, JIMMY |
