Product ReviewsThe Mindbody Prescription : Healing the Body, Healing the Pain by John E. Sarno (1999, Trade Paperback)

I would recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from chronic pain.

I have suffered with neck and back pain since I had a fall about 50 years ago. I spent one afternoon and evening reading Dr. Sarno's book and went to bed that night with NO PAIN in my neck or back. After a few days the pain came back but extremely decreased from where it had been before. Every day it improves more and more. I wish I had found the book 50 years ago. Thanks Dr. Sarno. Relief feels wonderful.Read full review...

The solution to pain for so many people

This is an awesome book that can help anyone dealing with chronic pain where the doctors can't find a physical cause. The author, Dr. John Sarno, was a very smart and compassionate man who dedicated his career to helping those who are suffering but are not being helped by the medical community. I recommend this and his other books. Read it now and feel better soon!Read full review...

Masterpiece by John Sarno

Amazing book!!! I suffered with lots of pain for a couple of years... read this book & pain vanished!!! I don’t fully understand how... but it actually worked for me.

Read THIS Book! It can change your life!

You gotta read this! I'm confident everyone who does will inevitably see themselves leap off the pages of this book. Most back pain and other common chronic illnesses can be explained in just three simple letters. T.M.S. Read on people-your eyes will be opened...Read full review...

Mind Body Prescription

I've had terrific pain in my tailbone. MRI, CTScan; Doc days lose weight & exercise. Didn't help enough. Friend with 30 year back problem was "cured" in months after reading Sarno's books. Saw the 60 Minutes piece also (on YouTube). I read the book; has to be read carefully and with an OPEN MIND that it can work. It has worked for me. Now anytime I get a pain that won't go away, I talk TO my brain and literally (out loud) tell my brain to make the pain go away; send a fresh supply of oxygenated blood to the area. Pain disappears in 5 minutes. Doesn't matter where it is - headache, wrist, back, knees, tailbone, neck... May seem pretty far-fetched & ridiculous, but it works for me. It's not a mind over matter affair; it's more like recognizing that your brain controls all pain. Some of Sarno's deeper methodology is a little mystifying on first read like identifying your inner, unconscious fears. Helps to read twice and read his other books (I haven't). This is the best of the 4 to read as the first one. This is a nothing ventured, nothing gained exercise. If you don't go into this believing that Sarno's method can work for you, then probably don't bother, but it'll be your loss and you'll continue on an expensive drugged life. Therefore, nothing to lose and everything to gain. What's the value of pain free living to you?Read full review...

Intriguing Reading

Sheds a refreshing and interesting light on the power of our thoughts and how they react in our bodies physically. It was recommended by my physician and I am so glad he did. Will be a favorite in my reading libraryRead full review...

Saved me from years of unrelenting pain that had grown immune to medication

I bought this book because I gave mine away to someone suffering from fibromyalgia just I had up until 2005 when I read Dr. Sarno's book. I always knew there was a connection but I just couldn't get it through my brain. This book was the key for me to becoming free of all the aches and pains and medications.
Unfortunately, I don't feel as though the book prepares the reader for the enormous emotional stress that you're body has been acting as a defense mechanism so-to-speak to protect you against.
I highly recommend the serious reader to be prepared with professional help to work through the mire. Otherwise, you may end up severely depressed and in a lot worse situation than living with physical pain.Read full review...
