Back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, hand and foot pain, rarely come from herniated discs and joint failures. Pain, such as fibromyalgia, is a deception of the mind created by the brain to keep dark, threatening, and sad emotions from entering consciousness. The vast majority of pains and symptoms emanate from a mindbody process stemming from a personality of perfectionism. However, pain is not in the mind of the sufferer and is often misrepresented as such by people who reject a mindbody process for reasons of ego and monetary gain. Symptoms inside and outside of the body are primarily the result of emotional conflict hidden within the body and outside of awareness. We live in a world of medical marvels. However, those marvels have become a double edged sword, often creating problems than they resolve. John Sarno, MD, at the NYU School of Medicine discovered in the 1970s that back pain was not coming from the things seen on the imaging, such as herniated discs, arthritis, stenosis, scoliosis, etc. Pain was coming from oxygen reduction through the autonomic nervous system due to elevated tension levels, but had been errantly linked to the normal abnormalities seen on MRIs and X rays. Most physicians refused to believe his findings even though his success rate in healing the most troublesome of pain cases was well above theirs. Dr. Sarno labeled the disorder TMS, or tension myoneural syndrome, currently being called The Mindbody Syndrome. Inside The Great Pain Deception Steve tells his compelling story of a 30 year battle with pain and ultimate healing after discovering Dr. Sarnos work. After Steve healed he began receiving hundreds of emails, calls, and letters, asking for his help too many to respond to, so he decided to write his experience down in a book. After 10 years of research, Steve has conveyed an amazing testimonial of triumph over tragedy, an inspiring story of healing that is a must read if you suffer from any ailment from mild to severe. The only thing standing between good health, and healing, is ego. Pain and unpleasant symptoms serve a purpose. Disease is the report card of how happy we are; feedback of a life not lived. Symptoms are anger flowing over into the physical realm, signs of internal conflict. Pain and illness are the virtual language of the unconscious mind. When we are untrue to ourselves and needs, living by the codes and wishes of others, denying our deepest desires symptoms then form to reveal the deeper conflict. Modern medicine is pointing us toward our bodies in the attempt to cure us through engineering the human system. These high tech processes are often making us worse by ignoring the message that the body is trying to convey through such things as colitis, irritable bladder, fibromyalgia, skin disorders and an infinite variety of other symptoms, including cancer. This book does an excellent job of exploring the realm of mind within body and ultimate healing.

    I suffered a “back injury” while rapidly withdrawing from psychiatric drugs. The pain spread around my entire body as knots developed in my muscles. I quickly succumbed to the medical model of “chronic pain” and engaged in all sorts of physical interventions. I

    This book is very poorly organized and needs to be rewritten with the help of a professional editor. Every page seems to be a mini essay, disjointed from previous pages. The book reads like a stream of consciousness personal diary of a man who suffered from chronic pain his

    I want to thank firstly John Sarno and secondly Steve Ozanich for eloquently depicting the essence and depth of tms. I do not know where I would be in life without this book. We are our own HEALERS, the body was meant to be healed through nature’s grand DESIGN. Thank you

    I suffered for 25 years from chronic low back pain and Colitis. Of course, no cure from the medical industry, so I read Healing Back Pain from Dr Sarno and then Steve's books on the subject of TMS for my low back issues, not even focusing on the Colitis. In two months I

    Steve's book synthesizes the primary elements of TMS as I have come to understand this mindbody disorder and this is the key point, understanding TMS. It certainly took me sometime to really commit to the concept because of my long held beliefs in the expertise of

  • David Debono

    I had experienced chronic pain for over 20 years. I had tried EVERYTHING to overcome this issue That is everything except study the work of the late great Dr Sarno and, recently, Steve Ozanich.After reading Dr Sarno's book Mind Body Prescription, I started to actually believe that I could overcome this chronic pain. But I also felt that I needed some further information that could help me take steps to overcome it.I researched the many books on the topic of overcoming chronic pain before finally purchasing Steve Ozanich's book 'The Great Pain Deception'.It was a book that really educated and inspired me to overcome chronic pain. Some of the results I have gotten in this book thus far are:*For the first time in 20 years I am starting to run again. I have now gone on a number of 3km runs.*I can turn of my symptoms pretty quickly now. In case you are wondering, I had experienced knee, foot and wrist pain mostly. These symptoms started in 1999, so to FINALLY be able to have control over them is a miracle.*Most significantly, A LOT of the fear, anxiety and obsession about being broken, damaged or misaligned is now gone.*I am now starting to live and focus on my passion in life as the pain and discomfort fades further and further into the background.*I have had many days where I have had little to no pain at all.I have come so far from about 6 months ago, when I thought the ONLY answer would be a risky, costly surgery.If you are like my and you had tried many things, and lost hope, I encourage you to read The Great Pain Deception.
