I WAS A FIBROMYALGIA SUFFERER for over twenty-five years, and despite excellent medical care, my severe pain persisted. Dr. Schubiners program helped me uncover the root causes of my pain and gave me the tools to deal with it. Unlearn Your Pain is a truly astounding program. Within the first week, I could not believe how much the pain decreased and my energy levels increased. I continue to be pain free because Unlearn Your Pain is now my recipe for living.

Fran Baiamonte, Burlington, Connecticut

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TWO HERNIATED DISCS and a pinched nerve as a result of my auto accident. I tried every medical treatment from physical therapy to injections to heavy narcotics. The cycle of pain and suffering continued for three-and-a-half years. It wasnt until I took Dr. Schubiners Mind Body program that my pain subsided.

Marnina Sullivan, Detroit, Michigan

AFTER SUFFERING WITH SEVERE HAND PAIN for more than three years and not getting any relief from more than eight doctors plus several alternative healers, I had begun to lose hope of ever recovering. Dr. Schubiners program explained my pain in a way that made perfect sense, and after completing the program, I can honestly say that my pain is virtually gone. In addition, I now understand myself much better, and this has made me a better person.

Edward Samuels, Chicago, Illinois

AT A TIME WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF OPTIONS to deal with severe bladder and pelvic pain, Dr. Schubiners program gave me the tools to take control of my life and manage my symptoms. All other traditional treatments had failed. I am forever grateful, and I continue to employ these techniques in many aspects of my life.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF SEVERE BACK PAIN which no doctor, drugs, physiotherapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, or massage therapist could fix, this program gave me relief within a couple of months. The techniques are easy to use, have given me great insight, and, best of all, relieved my pain. I recommend it highly it changed my life!

DR. SCHUBINERS PROGRAM NOT ONLY HELPED ME break a cycle of nearly continuous headache, it provided me with a broader, deeper, and very useful understanding of how psychological and emotional issues impact my physical well-being.

I HAVE SUFFERED FROM PAIN since I was a teenager. I have been diagnosed with more disorders than I could name. But no one was ever sure what was really wrong. Dr. Schubiners course saved my life. Thank God I now realize that I have Mind Body Syndrome.

Walter Lanier, Anderson, South Carolina

PHYSICAL THERAPY, CORTISONE INJECTIONS, and chiropractic treatment didnt help the intense pain in my back and down my leg. Over a year, I spent thousands of dollars without relief. Three weeks after I started Dr. Schubiners program, the pain was gone. I am still amazed that it worked, and I cannot be more grateful.

Gwen Clark, New Baltimore, Michigan

THIS PROGRAM TAUGHT ME that my life experiences had caused my pain. The exercises brought about incredible insights, and the words flowed out of my head and onto the paper. A huge weight had been lifted, and consequently my back pain is gone.

Denise Marsh, Royal Oak, Michigan

AS A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, I was skeptical when I heard about Mind Body Syndrome. Thanks to Dr. Schubiner, I now understand the connection between my emotional state and my physical pain. His program gave me techniques that I have used to control my symptoms and reclaim my life. Thank you so much, Dr. Schubiner.

Diane Olsem, RN, Brighton Township, Michigan

DR. SCHUBINERS MIND BODY SYNDROME PROGRAM enabled me to free myself from fibromyalgia pain which was basically running my life for thirteen years. I am finally on the road to recovery and feel so much more in control of my life and my health.

Cindy Corey, Livonia, Michigan

I USED DR. SCHUBINERS COURSE after everything else failed to stop chronic hamstring pain. His course told me exactly what to do and what not to do, on a daily basis. It took me about two months, but I am now able to walk, work out at the gym, and I now dont worry about my every move.

Steve Hansen, Easton, Maryland

DR. SCHUBINERS MIND BODY PROGRAM TAUGHT ME that I have control over my back pain. I quit worrying about all the physical problems that I had been told were wrong with my neck and back and started to concentrate on what was going on in my mind. When I realized how much pain had become my identity, I began to heal. Where I could only see a lifetime of pain, I have now regained a healthy and active life.
