Summary: Part 1 of what must be yet to come on this subject.
Review: A very interesting commenatary on the mind-body connection of illnesses and common conditions. Ok, so I'm convinced. But, now how do we deal with our new insight? What do we do about the conditions that we are now convinced can't be treated by conventional treatments? Other than making a trip to New York to visit this Dr., one is left with very little insight as to how to proceed to treat these conditions. Too much time spent convincing the reader of the mind-body connection and too little time spent on the "cure."

Summary: Great book. Read it.
Review: Dr. Din, DDS, San Jose, CA " I read Dr. Sarno's book about six years ago. I found his explanation right on the mark. I had ten years of back pain and had tried different treatments. But undersatnding the mind/body connection was what cured me. Since then, by keeping in mind Dr. sarno's advice and following the techniques described in the book, Rapid Recovery from Back and Neck Pain, which enhaces Dr. sarno's, I have been able to avoid back pain and live well. Thank you Dr. Sarno."

Summary: At last - someone who understands.
Review: I am yet another chronic back pain sufferer - from the age of 7 until now at 37. The worst part was living with the fear of the next 'attack'. Although I felt that somehow the pain was emotionally connected, not one of the numerous experts I was seeing would validate this belief. And then came Dr Sarno and the book which has changed the way I live. The fear is going now - more each day as I continue to live pain free. This isn't a miracle cure or hocus pocus - it is a fact which has finally been uncovered. Thank you Dr Sarno and I urge all of you with back pain to at least look at the possibilities.

Summary: It Works!
Review: This book gave me back my life. I had been a back pain sufferer for 10 years. Progressively worsened to where I had to give up exercising completely. Did chiropractic, cortisone shots, physical therapy, exercises, massage, to no avail. I was very skeptical when I saw the Sarno piece on 20/20. Bought the book anyway. On the day I read it back pain began to diminish. After six weeks and three readings, 10 years of back pain was gone. Bench pressing used to hurt my back worse than anything. I bench pressed the day before yesterday for the first time since reading the book. No pain! Read the book and deliver yourself from back pain:-)

Summary: A last resort
Review: The "doctor" has written many books on the subject. The only reason for him to do this is just to rake in the cash form people in need. The only people this book will help are those that would believe in the easter bunny. He does nothing but say that you have no pain or problems. Its all in your mind. About 180 pages that sounded to me he replays the same 20 over and over. I have no idea how he got any more books printed on the same thing. I figured I would spend the money before I jump off a bridge. Should have saved the money for the toll booth. How can sleep knowing that he takes advantage of desperate people.

Summary: This approach works!
Review: Dr. Sarno's book outlines an approach that does work to heal back and other pain syndromes, because it gets to the cause of the problem. As a practicing chiropractor in the Minneapolis area, I know it works, because I have used it with great success in my own practice for the past 6 years. You can never treat enough symptoms to get at the cause of a problem, and if you do not treat the cause, you cannot get a REAL solution. This is a must read for anyone with chronic pain who REALLY wants to get well.

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK
Review: This book is incredible. It literally has changed my life. I suffered from terrible back pain for approx. 6 years. It was getting worse and worse and I was at my wits end. I tried chiropratic sessions and massage to no avail. The day I purchased this book I could hardly walk. Literally hours after reading I felt better, not perfect but better. A few days later I was much better. Now several months later I'm just about 100% cured and have been doing any physical activity I want pain free. Anyone who puts this book down is a liar and probably has an agenda(doctors,chiropracters, etc.)I can't recommend this enough, it saved my life. thank you dr. sarno.

Summary: Truth or Dare
Review: This book falling into my life could not have come at a better time. I have been a chronic pain back suffer, considered disabled for 9 years. I have been through the spectrum of Dr.'s, therapy, meds., everything but surgery. Nothing had worked! This book made more sense to me than what anyone else had told me. If you dare to know the truth of your pain. Then read this book. If you want to suffer with your pain. I suggest you stay in denial. I had nothing left to lose than to have surgery. This truly is a wake up call if you need one.

Summary: Sarno has the theorey, Amir has the method
Review: I note that many reviewers at this site are looking for more tangible strategies in the application of Dr Sarno's theorey...my recovery stalled for the same reason, that is until I got Fred Amir's book "Rapid Recovery from Back and Neck Pain - a nine step recovery plan"...now there is no looking back. Get it!
