    "There are also several conditions which Sarno suggest emotions may play a role including: autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer."

    I choose to believe that if Sarno said that it means that those conditions , especially cancer, must be addressed as TMS... people that refuse chemo and radio always mention how they processed all they emotional traumas and adopted new outlook on themselves and their bodies...

    I work in radiation therapy for cancer patients.
    Tms can have an effect on the immune system and the ability of a person to prevent getting cancer, or it can weaken an immune system, which is crucial to fight cancer better.
    But that is it. If somebody refuses physical treatment for cancer because you think that it is tms, same as somebody would do for back pain, this person will not have a good prognosis.
    Pretty much every book about TMS, starts with the following. Go to a doctor. Make sure that your pain is not caused by any life-threatening condition like for example cancer.
    Cancer is not an issue of bad tissue oxygenation. Cancer cannot be dealt with reading books and meditation. A positive attitude and meditation can help, but one should ALWAYS follow the suggested treatment by their doctors.

    I wonder if applying TMS techniques could help the immune system to prevent cancers? According to Dr. Mate's book " when the body says no" the chronical suppression/repression of negative emotions may manifest into tumors or other chronical diseases.

    I'm applying this to my late-in-life diagnosis of RA. I knew that it was caused by a rapid buildup of extreme stress from several sources at once in 2020, so I sought a second opinion consultation from Dr. David Schecter (well known TMS doc). He convinced me that once the physiological process had taken hold, I have to follow medical orders or risk joint, heart and brain damage due to the inflammatory process. However, he also encouraged practicing my TMS skills to mitigate symptoms and work towards remission.

    I've accomplished the first, with a low level of first-line basic medication, but haven't figured out the second! Considering the state of the world and my hypersensitivity to existential distress, I decided that an expectation of remission may be too much pressure to put on myself. I'm really happy with the lack of symptoms which is well over 95% of the time, which means that RA doesn't affect my life. I'm still in better physical and mental shape at 73 than I was at 60 "Before Sarno".

    When the Body Says No is the third book that saved my life, after The Divided Mind (Dr Sarno) and Hope and Help for Your Nerves (Claire Weekes). Dr Mate is brilliant and compassionate and an amazing author.
