Hello Laura and John. I am Plum (originally from Thailand) now living in Orlando, Florida and I had very bad back pain for about 7 years. It was very terrible until I purchased the back pain course about 2 months ago.

My doctor told me I had herniated discs. I tried everything I could think of. I tried acupuncture, chiropractor, shots in my back 4 times. I bought inversion table so I hang upside down. No good. Finally, I go to the surgeon who tells me I need surgery right now so I do it. Nothing. Pain was the same. I don’t believe anything they say anymore. Dr. Goobie was right.

Your course made me better for the first time in 7 years. The part that worked the best was the back stretching demonstration you did. Especially the one that John did released pain so fast I could not believe it.

So I tell my father about it because he has back pain too. I bought it for him also last week. He is already doing better. Thank you Laura and John for the back pain course. I has made my...

A few weeks ago, a former neurosurgeon who specialized in back surgery posted a video about why he quit his esteemed profession. The video immediately went viral with over 10 million views in the first 10 days.

This former brain surgeon, known only as “Goobie", explains how he became a doctor to help people but could no longer in good conscience perform back surgery because it just did not work. A few patients got better but the vast majority did not. He felt like he was living a lie, and it was causing him multiple chronic physical symptoms. Goobie felt like if he continued doing surgery, he would die. The guilt and shame would eventually kill him.

This is an important video because what one spine surgeon knows, all spine surgeons know but are afraid to say. They all know that spine surgery doesn’t work because as you know - the pain is being caused by repressed emotions like anger. It’s hard to fight the system from the outside or the inside.

Goobie (who is only 39...

About two years ago I had terrible debilitating lower back pain. Tried all the things, including meds, chiropractor and finally pain management doctors. MRI showed several things wrong with my back, that were causing the pain. Doctors saying they would start with injections, but surgery was on the horizon. They told me to stop running, stop lifting anything heavy and reduce my riding horses. I was devastated at 59 years old that all the things I loved were hurting me.

I had to stop baling my hay at my farm because it was just too painful.

That was when I started researching online and buying every book on the market about fixing back pain without doctors’ involvement and that’s how I stumbled upon the 2020 Sarno video.  I then got all his books and listened to them in succession but then I felt like I didn’t know what to do with all that information. I believed it to be true about TMS, but there wasn’t a program in all those books to follow, at least I...

Nothing makes the healing process easier than having momentum. And nothing makes it harder than attempting to heal for years but never establishing any momentum (or improvement).

So, what is healing momentum? Here’s a working definition:

Momentum is the force that propels your healing journey forward and is greater than the sum of your information, your strategy, and your effort combined. Momentum can actually make the process fun.

Healing momentum (which is identified by rapid symptom improvement) is categorized by 4 factors that will drive you forward. If these 4 factors are present, you’re as good as healed.

Creating momentum takes a considerable amount of effort. It’s like getting a rocket off the ground at Cape Canaveral. It takes a lot of energy and effort to escape the earth’s gravitational pull. However, once in space, it takes very little effort to keep moving forward.

There are four factors that fuel momentum:

1. Momentum is...

In 2018, I married the woman of my dreams. We both enjoyed our growing relationships with our combined family, and I thought nothing could be better.  But six months into our marriage while running on an elliptical machine, I felt a “snap” in my back followed by excruciating pain with electricity up and down my back and right leg. I fell from the elliptical, rolled up in a ball, and was able stand painfully with the aid of nearby steps. 
 

The next five years I lived the standard medical “chronic pain” regime related by Dr. Sarno and the Pain Cure Clinic. According to the docs, it was surgery or a lifetime of pain. This pain was unlike any I had experienced; the excruciating pain and duration of debilitation was overwhelming. I was brought to tears and bitterness more than once, tempted by the promises of surgeons with great reputations –among their peers. Friends who had the surgery...

Opioids do not relieve acute low back pain in the short run and lead to worse outcomes when the back pain becomes chronic. This is the result of the first randomized controlled study of safety and efficacy of the use of opioids for lower back pain. 

 After 6 weeks, there was no significant difference in pain scores of patients who took opioids compared to those who took the placebo. And amazingly, after one year, the placebo patients had lower pain scores than those taking the real thing. 

This study* was conducted by Christine Lin PhD. in Australia with 347 adults who had been experiencing low back pain for at least 12 weeks. 

Doctor Lin comments about the study: 
"We need to reassure doctors and patients that most people with lower back pain will recover with time if they manage the process properly by - staying active, avoiding bed rest, and if necessary, using a heat pack for short term relief.” 

 *Study conducted by the National...

“About halfway through the second go around of the (Master Class) videos, all the pain went away.”

Jeff from Pennsylvania had a variety of chronic pain symptoms for most of his life. In other words, Jeff was a typical TMS sufferer. He started out with plantar fasciitis (foot pain) which lasted for 20 years.

Jeff had custom orthotics made and then needles put into his feet. Then they tried paddling his feet and more orthotics and more needles. This sounds like more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Then Jeff had hip pain supposedly from skydiving in the past. He tried physical therapy, heat treatments and a tens unit which is similar to shock therapy. Nothing of course helped at all.

Next came back pain which was the worst pain of all. More suffering.

Jeff eventually found Dr. Sarno, and then the Pain Cure Clinic and finally after a lifetime of pain symptoms, Jeff was cured - pain level zero.

t’s a great story of Jeff’s...

That’s what Rusty in Arizona did after watching the Sarno Master Class.

Apparently, it was. Watch this short but powerful video of Rusty’s transformation. Now he can do anything.

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....
