Summary: Pain Sufferers Valuable Resource
Comment: The `Pain Cure' is a valuable resource empowering you with tools and information for controlling your pain and regaining your life.
It covers an enormous amount of information including nutritional therapy, physical therapies, medication...as well as mind/body exercises, meditation and strength training..... A total holistic approach bringing Eastern & Western medicine together.
During times of pain it is easy to want to hide away & I found comfort & encouragement during my time of need.
Thankfully this combined technique is becoming a more recognizable form of treatment by doctors of today.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who suffers from pain.
Life Is Too Short .....Regain & Enjoy Your Life!

Summary: A lifetime plan
Comment: This program gives a body, mind, and spiritual (soul) intensive in a sensible and interesting manner. It is delivered by the doctor who gave us Brain Longevity, and it is no wonder that it follows through with a complete and doable program aimed indeed at pain in the human body. He absolutely and logically proves that pain does not exist alone at the site of the pain, but lives within us. It is a thoughtful, and non-invasive book. I feel this book is always there for me, as a reference and a thoughtful,research-based and compassionate friend.

Summary: I wonder How This Innovative Therapy Worked, or Did It?
Comment: To endure life's inevitable roadblocks, we have to strive not for perfection, but contentment, and miraculously all the pain will go away -- for a while. What he calls "curing" I call "coping with." There is no cure for the hardships we all encounter along the way -- becoming a hermit is even worse, as you dwell on what's wrong.
Ultimately, all pain goes through a "receiving center" in the brain, and seratonin blocks the perception of pain and keeps it from "centralizing" in the nervous system. In his diatribute to the ability to be pain-free, he refers a lot to his former book, BRAIN LONGEVITY, on which he collaborated with the same journalist who has written for several medical magazines.
He uses many "deficits" for possible causes of chronic pain, but specifically names seratonin as the worst, depending on one's pain tolerance threshold. He says that women suffer more from chronic pain due to hormonal changes, that two-thirds of all patients at pain clinics are women with migraines. Back pain is three times more prevelant in women, according to this doctor, and chronic muscle pain is ten times more common among the female sex.
All pain signals ultimately land in the brain, where they trigger thought, emotions, memories, and a complex array of biochemical events aimed at protecting your body from further harm. With chronic pain, the alarm continues to shriek uselessly long after the physical danger has passed.
Seratonin is the body's single best pain-fighter, more important even than endorphins. Seratonin deficit is a major culprit. He emphasizes that suffering is one reaction to pain, but not the only possible reaction -- that it is possible to experience pain without suffering from it. He admits that all lives contain some pain but, when you can experience it without suffering, "your chronic, disabling pain, for all practical purposes will be 'cured'."
Pain is the most common reason people go to doctors. Dr. Scott Fishman, president of the American Academy of Pain Management feels, "We've wandered from the basic philosophy in medicine, where you cure what you can but always treat suffering, to being focused only on curing."
In the section about arthritis, he confirms that the side effects pain medications present are worse than the problem they are supposed to relieve. One example is plain aspirin which, he says destroys the cartilage, the "padding" which keeps bones from rubbing together. This is the most common type called osteoarthritis. It is thought that eighty percent have this type by the age of fifty, progressing as age does. It involves hands, spine, hips, knees and feet (primarily in overweight people), and goes back to the cavemen.
Exercise therapy is touted as a natural substitute for medicine, but I know first hand that this type can cause more pain. Rheumatoid is a disorder or malfunction of the immune system with more inflammation of the joints. He says that this is most often in women between 25 and 50, with no known cure. In this type, you have to learn to "conquer" as opposed to "cure."
He really only stresses what we all know, you just have to live with pain at varying times and in varying intensities. If you try to follow all of his suggestions, not only would you spend all your time trying to locate and consume numerous herbal supplements and expensive foods, but your money, too.
Mort Crim once remarked, "forgiving someone can't change the past but it can transform the future." Dr. Khalsa tried out this intensive program at the University of Arizona. I think he must have had all female subjects. It is not recommended to use this as a substitute for medical care, as needed, only as some suppositions. More research is needed, I feel, and I wonder how long his program lasted. I feel that traditional Pain Management, similar to what I had at Vanderbilt in Nashville is better -- but there is NO cure for pain. That's an illusion.

Summary: Life changing information on pain
Comment: If you or a loved one are suffering chronic pain, you owe it to yourself to read this book! It explains clearly and succinctly about how your body and brain process pain, then it offers effective strategies to regain control of your body and your life.Before I read this book, I wanted to just close my eyes and never wake up. I've lived with chronic pain for seven years and short of getting a morphine pump implant, I've tried it all. I still have pain, but The Pain Cure gave me the information and support I needed to stop feeling victimized and look forward to living again.
