What can I say? I am the biggest skeptic I know. When I originally injured my back shoveling snow, then reinjured it playing basketball, someone recommended that I read an article about this guy Dr. Sarno. I didn't take the advice -- xrays indicated a physical injury -- and who was this guy to doubt my pain.

I spent over 10 years limiting my activity with an average of every third day in substantial pain. So finally, after getting a tip from a co-worker I respect, I read this book. Two weeks later... no more pain.

After several orthopedists, physical therapists, and chiroquackters, finally no pain. After thousands of dollars of treatment, a $15 book fixed me. To be totally honest, every three months or so when a major storm goes through I get a twinge. But my worst day now is better than my best days three years ago.

I'm still a skeptic in every other area and can laugh about what I call the "I believe in Tinkerbell cure." But it worked. Try it, believe it and you'll probably have a good result. And if this works, what does this say about the rest of traditional medicine?

Good luck.

I was a bit sceptical at first, about reading this book. But reviews, TV specials, etc. made me feel that I had to.

A year ago, I incurred incredible back and leg pain, and was ultimately diagnosed with a herniated disk. At the time, I decided not to opt for surgery, but to take the physical therapy route. My pain subsided, but never really went away. I had to always sit with a special back pillow, and had to often stand at meetings so I would be comfortable.

Dr. Sarno's book described me, my personality, and my pain to a tee. His recommendations and "cure" were so strong, that halfway through a plane flight on which I was reading the book, I removed my back pillow from the seat - I haven't used it since.

3 weeks after reading the book, I'm completely pain-free, and have actually seen other minor improvements in my health, well-being, and attitude.

If you have back, neck or leg pain that seems to just linger, you MUST read this book. If you believe that standrad medical diagnoses are accurate, and that Doctors' treatments must be followed, do yourself a favor and listen to what Dr. Sarno has to say.

It absolutely works.

Several years ago I was off work for nine months because of what the doctors diagnosed as repetitive motion and then disc problems. AFTER major sugery, when they told me I'd be out of work and in excruciating pain the rest of my life, I found this book--it was next to one of those "how to live with excruciating pain" books.

Within two hours of starting to read Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain I could turn my neck. Within two weeks the pain was completely gone, and I've been a ball of fire since. I wish I could thank him in person. Buy this book, if you can, do it before you commit to major surgery.
