I was a non believer in the Mind body connection. A friend who was cured of chronic back ailments by reading this book recommended it to me. This book will change your life if you are open minded. I've never had back pain but the book applies to almost all pains and symptoms and the role the mind plays in them. Well worth your time and money.

A thought provoking book. What goes through the reader's mind is "why isn't anyone else pursuing this line of thought". Are the ideas within this book pure quackery or is this an instance where there is one voice of reason just waiting for vindication. The accompanying reviews listed on this site here seem to be a good endorsement.
In the author's defense it often does seem like there are epidemics that arise like fads such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ADD, etc, where afflictions appear like waves upon the populace and it affects almost everybody, whereas twenty years earlier the affliction was practically unknown. The author's point is that the mind is rebelling in a socially acceptable manner. The reader will not be able to verify the accuracy of the cures within this book and a small number of cases does not make a scientific study, but the book provides food for thought. It does seem like many of today's epidemic fad type ailments are treating the symptoms and not the root cause. The book left me wanting to read a professional counter argument to this book. This book also is very weak on describing the actual regimen to achieve a cure. It appears the author's other books explain the healing method in more detail. The author's main point in this book is that the primitive brain is being submerged by the civilized brain and the pain and rage the primitive brain feels is often released in a socially acceptable way such as tendonitis, and back pain. Interesting concept. I would have liked some more proofs from some scientific studies to have been presented. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-16 01:22:58 EST)
