 A followup note April 13, 2008

I was reading the reviews and thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
I'm the son of the author. Frank did indeed suffer terribly from FM and, in case anyone is wondering, its been 7 years since he wrote this book and I have not heard him complain of the symptoms recurring once in all this time.
I'm sure it won't work for everyone, but it definitely *did* work for him.
 I think I bought snakeoil January 23, 2008

If there's a how to cure book I've read it. So far none of them have worked - including this one. Exercise, eat right, take care of yourself, have a good attitude, meditate. I already do these things, and yes, they do help, but ONLY because those things would help ANYONE.
Do they CURE it? NO. I'm not cured. I have good days, but then BOOM, the pain starts and it is like I'm getting the flu. Nothing will have stressed me out, I won't be 'mad.'
In fact, I'm a pretty happy person with a great life, and a horrid nervous system. I think I bought snakeoil, again.

I spent 18 months seeing 25 doctors, took pain killers, muscle relaxants, sleep meds, anti-depressant, Xanax and kept getting worse. Was unable to sleep, to sit or walk without extremem pain. Quit my job, lost my fiance, ended up hospitalized for severe depression.
Then I got this book, followed it religiously. Now I'm off all medication, quit seeing all doctors, am pain free, sleeping again and have my life back!!!
 This book does not say "its all in your head" January 27, 2005

Nor does it say you are a hypochondriac, or you want to feel bad to get out of work...
The book does tell everyone there is a connection between your emotions and your body. Check the latest scientific research in this area. It is all being confirmed. No it is not as easy as just saying "OK I made all this up. Now I'm better". There is a connection to circulation, blood flow, healthy muscles, nerve pain... and emotional states. And yes, the pain makes the emotional states worse so the snowball just gets bigger and bigger.
There are many many factors of stress, so good sleep, healthy diet and light exercise and all the other common sense things apply here.
Consider The Sedona Method Book as a way to learn how to deal with stress successfully! or go here: www.sedona.com
A disservice to FM suffers. August 24, 2004
18 out of 57 found this review helpful
This book may work for some as witnessed by other reviewers, however, I feel it perpetuates the myth that FM is only in one's head. We have enough physicians who are "non believers" (I've met a few) as it is. If FM patients can cure themselves with mental exercises, then I say "have at it." Whatever works; I fully understand that desperate people will try desperate measures. But if it works for FM, then it should work equally for cancer, heart disease, spinal injuries, Parkinson's, diabetes, et al. When, oh when, will they find out the real PHYSICAL cause for this malady? I await the day. Only then will we find a real cure.
