Well Gerikat, I haven't finished the book. I just received my copy on Friday. However, I am 1/3 of the way through this book and can already see so much in myself and other family members. I'm finding it difficult to put this book down. Good thing it is raining outside here.
I'm finding hope that some day I will indeed overcome treating symptoms (only), and actually have more psychosomatic control over my physical health in general. I can also clearly see just how far back the IBS roots in me went... about age 5!
This adventure is going to be very interesting, though I am willing and able to meet such a challenge!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who seriously would like to go from merely treating symptoms to eliminating them altogether.
Even so, we all need good healthy fiber in our bodies given the quality of today's foods, tea is excellent, and so are healthy low fat recipes! This doesn't mean we can or should go back to fast foods and eating bugo fats. We do need to stay conscious of it all for optimum health. 
What is the matter with doctors today? I rather suspect it is all about money... run 'em in and run 'em out... cashing in on each patient visit.

I believe you two are reading The Divided Mind by John Sarno. Gerikat and I have formed a discussion group on a Ning site to discuss the book without disruption from naysayers. If you are interested in joining the group, please email me at frygurl@gmail.com and I will send you an invitation.
If anyone else who reads this is interested in the theories of Dr. Sarno or other alternative health treatments, you are also invited to join our discussion. Please email me.

I've had this book on my shelf for a year and haven't opened it! I got it as a gift, I like the subject matter but I'm not a big fan of Sarno after reading his back book, and hearing him interviewed. You guys are inspiring me to read though - I'm going to start it this week - Thanks!

Ladies & gentlemen take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

What didn't you like about Sarno's back book? I haven't read it myself, but I'm guessing there is a lot of similar information in the Divided Mind.

Wow - I finished the Divided Mind. This book is truly life changing. I hope others will read it, because I think Dr. Sarno's theories have a lot of implications for IBS sufferers. A discussion group is forming on a Ning site - if you're interested in alternative medical views of IBS, and/or are interested in Dr. Sarno's views on psychosomatic disorders, please email me to join. frygurl@gmail.com
