The Fear and the Pain
I haven’t had any psychosomatic pain symptoms in quite a long time. However, that winning streak ended a couple weeks ago when my right foot became painful. Or was it real structural pain? That’s always the question we all struggle with.
I was in training to run the Saguaro Desert Half-Marathon in Tucson, AZ: 13.1 miles through the desert with lots of rocks and giant saguaro cacti. Running longer races is hard but there’s a real feeling of accomplishment and you get a medal for finishing.
In fact, race medals were the inspiration for the Sarno Medal of Freedom that has become so popular with our students.
However, the week before the race, my foot started to become more and more painful. Was this a real medical problem? I theorized that it might be from running on the treadmill (that I don’t normally use) vs. outside because of the extreme cold winter weather. The treadmill is not my natural gait....
Rusty: Sarno Medal of Freedom Winner!
Rusty from Arizona wins the Sarno Medal of Freedom Award – well done!
Our client, Rusty, had a rough time of it. He suffered from constant back pain for over 15 years. He tried everything including:
Physical Therapy
Chiropractor
MRI’s
Stretching
Massage
Physio Tape
Epidural Shots
Disc Ablation Surgery
And nothing on this list did anything.
As amazing as it sounds, Rusty found Dr. Sarno - read Healing Back Pain and purchased the Sarno 3.0 Master Class and….in just 2 days, his pain was gone!
It’s hard to believe, none of his friends believe it (not unusual) but he’s playing golf 3 days per week, working out 3 days per week, stretching walking, doing yard work, doing anything he wants to do physically.
There’s nothing stopping him now.
Rusty says, without a doubt, he’s going to be pain free for the rest of his life. If Rusty can do it, YOU can too.
Way to go Rusty! Dr. Sarno would be proud that you've received this award...

Jeff: Sarno Medal of Freedom
Greetings from Jeff in Pennsylvania!
Foot pain was just the start - 20+ years ago. One day I woke up with burning, stinging pain in my heels and a dull ache in my arches. Where did this come from? I blamed it on playing basketball with my kids barefoot.
My family physician recommended that I see a physical therapist for inflammation from plantar fasciitis. The PT gave me stretches to do and made plaster casts of my feet for custom orthotics. I wore the orthotics. The pain persisted. I found a podiatrist. He was not impressed with my orthotics. They wobbled. He took them back to his workshop and tinkered with them.
Then the podiatrist suggested injections directly into my heels. He warned that this would hurt. He was right. He was very right! I’ll never forget leaving his office and driving to our son's school to pick him up from a Cub Scout gathering. I was practically crawling from my car into the school. The pain from the shot eventually went away. But the PF kept right on...

What to do when TMS flares up
Sometimes, just when you think you’ve got TMS under control, all the sudden TMS pain flares up - seemingly out of nowhere. Just when you thought you had a handle on it.
It’s not only painful, but also frustrating. Don’t be discouraged. Often, the increase in symptoms is because you’re starting to win the battle and your subconscious is making a last-ditch effort to stop your progress. A flare up may just mean that you’re getting closer and closer to curing yourself.
In this video, John explains the 4-step action process for flare ups:
- You’ll learn the 1st and most important thing to do to end the flare quickly.
- You’ll learn how the TMS flare is correlated to a flare up in emotional conflict.
- You’ll learn how stop flare ups from occurring in the future.

Stu: Sarno Medal of Freedom
Like many people in the United States (and around the world), our client Stu had terrible constant back pain for 2 1/2 years.
Stu got the Sarno Master Class recently and here’s a quote from the message we received from him.
“I really give you both credit for bringing it all together for me in one place where I’m able to take action with all my new beliefs and understandings about the mind-body connection. I never really paid much attention to my mental health before, but now I know it’s the single most important thing I can do to remain pain free.”
Stu followed the Master Class for eight weeks and said he’s grateful that he’s no longer constantly consumed with the distraction of pain. He also writes that:
“I am a big believer in what you guys are doing and want to express my extreme gratitude for your help. You do have to do the work, but it is definitely worth it. Thank you for your guidance and encouragement. I will stay in touch and...
TMS: Childhood trauma is not the problem
Childhood trauma very often creates the perfect and good personality type which creates repressed anger which in turn creates chronic pain. That’s how it works.
So, the origin of a lot of chronic symptoms is childhood trauma. That’s the case 90% of the time.
However, new research in the field of psychology shows that going back to fix your past and rewrite your history may not be the most productive thing to do. In fact, the best course of action may be to do the exact opposite. You may need to shift your focus in the exact opposite direction to cure your chronic symptoms.
In this video, John will explain:
- Why therapy about your past may be a waste of time (for stopping TMS)
- What’s the best course of action instead
- And how to move forward toward the quickest possible cure
Calming the Hyperactive Nervous System
By the time most chronic pain sufferers find the mind-body connection, their nervous systems have become highly hyperactive. And a hyperactive nervous system is what keeps the body tight and creates pain.
So, in this video, John explains the science behind the autonomic nervous system and why a person can look perfectly calm, while the nervous is raging. Also in this video, John explains 3 simple hacks for calming the nervous that you can put into use easily in one day.
Relax the nervous. Relax the mind. And then, relax the body.
