I believe you. The mind is very powerful.

I mean, we have all heard of psychosomatic illness...but we usually think of that as being in nutty people or attention seekers. Looks like Sarno is saying MOST people with back pain have fallen for the idea that it is caused by slipped discs, etc -- which everybody has -- and it's all just bunk the medical establishment made up to get our money from unnecessary surgeries.

I will say that the few people I know who have had back surgeries never had their pain go away due to these procedures...so there might be something to this.
