Synopsis
From the doctor who pioneered the first highly effective mind-body cure for fibromyalgia and one of her grateful patients, this book brings relief to the more than 10 million Americans suffering from this debilitating and widely misunderstood condition. Most frequently appearing in women between the ages of 25 and 50, the symptoms of fibromyalgia include excruciating joint pain, overwhelming fatigue, and, in severe cases, total incapacitation. Until now doctors have offered only stopgap measures, from expensive drugs to herbs and restrictive diets, to alleviate the chronic pain. Freedom from Fibromyalgia presents a step-by-step program that can cure the disease in as little as five weeks. Dr. Selfridge shows that fibromyalgia is caused by the brain's transformation of buried emotional hurts (including shame, rage, and grief), into ongoing physical pain. In a week-by-week program of meditations, journaling, dream work, and other mental exercises, she teaches readers how to retrain their brains and eliminate harmful messages to their bodies.

Customer Reviews

IT WORKS. DON'T GIVE UP AND YOU'LL BE FREE OF PAIN
I did the 5 week program. I put aside anything else and made it my number 1 priority. I wanted to recover. I wanted to live! Nancy Selfridge and her mate have made a great effort in creating a plan for you to be healed. It's based on Dr. Sarno's years of research and success. I Know Doctor Sarno personally and he deserves a Nobel. But he missed a practical plan to heal some of the very very difficult patients with TMS, those with FM.
Plus, this program not only heals your body but helps you turn around your life aswell by making small steps each day and developing momentum.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NANCY AND THANKS SO MUCH.

DON'T HESITATE, A BOOK WON'T HURT YOU, WILL IT??

A Breath of Fresh Air
This book helped me to recover from Fibromyalgia. Now I'm ready to start living life!

The five week plan is very detailed and guides you through the process. The majority of this book is based on Dr John Sarno's groundbreaking work, but has been modified by Dr Selfridge to be more pertinent to Fibromyalgia suffers.
