The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (3 of 5)
"Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds, where psychosomatic ailments originate." (Mehmet Oz, MD, co-author of You: The Owner's Manual) Publisher's Summary The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with musculoskeletal pain disorders, here Dr. Sarno addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mind-body) disorders. In Dr. Sarno's view, the crucial interaction between the reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind is the basis for many mind-body disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mind-body disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. "As far as Dr Sarno and his colleagues are concerned, fibromyalgia is a severe form of TMS, and is ...
The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (1 of 5)
A Note from zenny7: Personally, I am still not too sure how much Dr. Sarno understands that the Mind is NOT the brain. The brain acts as the Minds receptor. Aside from this, the information he gives in his book and in this interview is good stuff, so I hope you enjoy what he has to say.

Low Level Laser Treatment of Neuromuscular Pain Disorders
www.scalarwavelasers.com www.scalarwavelasers.com What is LLLT? Low level LASER Therapy (LLLT), Cold Lasers and Non thermal Lasers are synonymous terminologies for appliances which have a specified wavelength of 600 to 1000nm and 5-500milliwatts with the use of red beam or close to Infrared laser. It is predominantly used for the treatment of carpel tunnel syndrome and other muscular and skeletal disorders like swelling and aching of mandibular joints and acute sciatic pangs. This laser when used at the problem area of the body, penetrates deep without any physical sensation, without heating or tanning the body, whereby the inherent photons in the laser beam induce the photochemical action in the body cells and tissues. The Low level LASER Therapy acts in same fashion as the photosynthesis of the plants. The body is compared to the plant while the LASER beam is compared to the sunlight. The photons of the laser radiation travel in a coherent path with polarization whereby they give a concentrated intensified radiation in the affected part of the body. The beam of light which traverses the skin without causing any burn heals the marred cells and enzymes of the body stimulating their growth and accentuating the recovery process. Researches have confirmed the hypothesis that Low level LASER Therapy improves cellular reconstruction, builds up the body's resistance stimulating lymphatic, vascular, and circulatory systems. This energy is being used often in acupuncture and ...
