I’d suffered from severe and crippling chronic pain for 14 years.

Primarily in my feet (diagnosed as plantar fasciitis), but in recent years also in my eyes, wrists, back, and Achilles tendon.

I was in and out of a wheelchair and was barely able to function. I’d tried every conventional treatment (surgery, cortisone, physical therapy, etc) and alternative treatment (acupuncture, platelet injections, homeopathic injections, etc).

Dr. John Sarno’s book was the answer to my suffering. Sure enough, six months later I was at walking all day pain-free. I’ve been pain-free ever since.
