Let's not spend an inordinate amount of time with exercises  and daily routines to fix ourselves. let's be aware of the things that our brain might be perceiving as dangerous, like emotions. !instead of pushing them away and resisting, just feel them.

Dan buglio cured himslef of 13 years lasting back pain, sciatica and spasms. PT and trying to balance the tonus of the body with streching did not help. A book he ready changed his life completely. how did he heal himself?

It all started at : 

I was in my early 30's .I bent over, believe it or not to put on my underwear. And I felt a jab, a jolt in my back. Right. And I struggled through the day. But then by that evening, I was considerably worse. Ended up going to the doctor. He said, Well, here take some muscle relaxing type of medication, try to just rest it. It'll be fine. Well, it wasn't three days later, I could barely get in or out of a car. I started to go see a chiropractor. The chiropractor is trying to adjust me while my body is in complete spasm. Yeah. And it was excruciating that started 13 long years now, for the first year, I didn't know anything about anything. I went, I got an X ray, the chiropractors, a little bit of degenerative disk disease. How old were you back in my early 30s. And so nothing extraordinary. Medically. There was nothing that they could point to. It's not like I fell off a roof and broke my back. It's not like I had a massive disc herniation from lifting too much weights in the gym. It was just back pain unexpected

Main symptoms were: 

back pains and spasms along sciatica.  It was probably 13 years of that up and down. The pain was there for a while, then it got better, and then it would come back, and then it would get better a little bit. It would come back. After about a year, I heard about this doctor, John Sarno, who is very well known in the mind body pain community. He's the original guy who first put out his ideas. And his original findings are what all of my work is based on. So I found out about Dr. Sarno, and I read his books and fairly quickly started feeling better. But then the pain came back, and then it took longer, but it still got better. Then the pain would come back. It went up and down, up and down. 

How did you feel about it? About the physical issues and What was your emotional state back then? 

I mean, I was certainly distraught that in my early 30s that I was having all this back pain. And when I first found out about Dr. Sarno and the concept that the pain is created in the brain, the body has nothing to do with it. I was very relieved I was really impressed

I tried these modalities but they did not cure me: 

I tried to align and stretch myself for years. It got me nowhere. When I finally quit doing that, the pain left and my body mostly realigned. Am I perfect? No, I still have slight. If I were to look in the mirror, I could see that my hips are still slightly over to the right. Yeah, not 100%. But you know what? I don't care because it doesn't hurt me. It is not harmful to me. Why would I fix something that doesn't hurt and is not damaging me or harming me? We are not designed to go through life figuring out how we can be anatomically perfect and move our bodies perfectly. Because if we try to do that, we're going to tangle ourselves up and nuts. There is nothing natural about trying to be anatomically perfect

Dark night of the soul: 

Once I figured out about Dr. Sarno, I realized my body is not the problem. And at that point, I stopped, for the most part physical treatments, but I still dabbled. I would still do stretches. I had periods where I go to physical therapy or chiropractors. Even though I knew about this mind body concept that the brain was creating the pain, I wasn't fully committed to TMS, I was still straddling the fence. They call it between. Well, maybe the stretches will help. Maybe the physical therapy will help. But then I would try to the mind body approach. There was a lot of journaling, a lot of emotional exploration and discovery

Change in the plot: 

when ii really surrendered, got sick and tired of trying to fix. I understood that our brain's job is to keep us safe and keep us alive and for somebody who is in chronic pain and on their knees. As you just said, their brain is working perfectly because some people say, Well, I heard about this TMS thing, but does that mean I've got a mental problem or an emotional problem? No, it doesn't. Your brain is still trying to keep you safe, and it's working perfectly. The issue is that it's working based on bad information. It's working based on information that says your emotions are dangerous. Your body is frail, easily broken, misaligned, inflammation. We need to be perfect. We need to fix it, right? That's all misinformation. And as a result, the brain is behaving as if that's all true and creating the pain or the symptoms in an effort to keep us safe. But it's operating based on bad data. My job is to fix the data, give you better information that says there's nothing wrong with you in the first place. 

The doom of the past versus the glory of my present life: 

in the thirteen year when i immersed my self in this body-mind work the pain subsided and eventually diappeared.

My best advice to fellow sufferers of chronic conditions: 

Let's not spend an inordinate amount of time with exercises and processes and daily routines to fix ourselves. No, let's be aware of the things that our brain might be perceiving as dangerous, like emotions. instead of pushing them away and resisting,  just feel them. Oh, okay. Do that over and over again. Your brain will eventually realize emotions are no longer dangerous. Therefore, we don't need to protect from them your physical body. If you're constantly walking around like this all scared and tight and guarded, your brain constantly going to be interpreting danger. So if you can learn to let the tension out and breathe a little more comfortably over time, the brain will get the idea that, wow, look at her. Not she's pretty comfortable and relaxed. Safety the mental side of it. If you're not taking your own thoughts so seriously all the time and not getting caught up in the panic thoughts and the worrisome thoughts and the catastrophic thinking, the brain has got no choice but to say, well, she's not paying attention to that. I guess she's okay. And then it gets down to the mindset. Are you freaking out less you're making progress

Let's not spend an inordinate amount of time with exercises  and daily routines to fix ourselves. let's be aware of the things that our brain might be perceiving as dangerous, like emotions. !instead of pushing them away and resisting, just feel them.

I'm a gastroenterologist, and I first learned about the ability of the mind to create physical symptoms in the body in 1983 with a patient who was severely ill, had been for two years, had completely baffled two different universities, and I stumbled on the fact that she was dealing with a severe stress in her life, and it dated back to when she was a child, and I didn't... read more here

  • Healed with Dr sarno's method

    Dr. John E. Sarno's work in treating body pains: pain is felt in the body but its origin is in the brain So much of the TMS or the mind body world is focused upon repressed emotions. That was Dr. Sarno's original theory. He believed that the brain was creating the pain to protect or distract us from overwhelming, scary and even perceived as dangerous repressed emotions. As a result, we've got decades worth of professionals, therapists, doctors saying you have to go find those... read more here
