My pain appears to be structural...of course!! 😂😂😂 so I can tell myself all the wonderful stories to my brain till I am blue in the face...Zero progress!! 😂😂

If the doctor can pen a name to the problem , then they can pin a bill to the office visit. If the doctor has no idea what is causing the pain , it's very difficult to bill the patient.😂😂😂😂

I pray to God that this applies to trigeminal neuralgia. 😞

People don’t get sick from magical flying Boogey germs. They DEVELOP the “illness” following the resolution of the upsetting event that caused it. Just like they DEVELOP cancer. If you can’t “catch” cancer, you can’t “catch” anything else. The Germ Theory has been fraud for 110 years. Repeating it over and over does not make it true. German New Medicine explains all disease.

💕💕💕💕💕

what do you do when I can't even find how I should do it? How do I do mindfulness How to meditate in this pain?

I'm in that in-between stage where I presume I have nerve muscle damage from repetitive strain at the back of my neck and not knowing if I now I have m/b or I'm still healing. I'm in pain every day and have been for over three months. Mri showed 'normal wear and tear for 47.

Shirley Chong TCM tutorials are so easily explained to follow and understand. It is why I love watching and learning from her. Her spoken English is easy to understand too from a foreign English speaker. I learned all the basics off TCM off Shirely too. It has inspired me to learn advanced TCM training from other online TCM courses to study a degree off.

Because every unhealed patient is fir a medical doctor a loss of money.. You are elegant when you find an excuse for them...

I went from having a few of the worst pain days of my life to having something very tolerable just knowing I have hope. If people don't know.. his research is used in this app called "Lin" it's not just an average app that you pay for.. they give you a pain coach and however many times a Month that ur health insurance will pay for, you can see a pain coach. Mine is 3 half hour sessions per month. Anyway, I'm on the path. I still have very bad days but my good days are increasing.. just having hope and a physical therapist who is only 25 and super eager to learn.. so he's actively researching this along with graded mirror imaging which can be used for CRPS, which is what I have. It's called the " suicide disease " for a reason.. it's so unbearable, but the fact that it changes and moves, tells me it's at least more than halfway mind body

Thank you for this

Dr. Schubiner touched on racism causing chronic pain. What about misogyny/sexism/patriarchy??? That alone could explain why women suffer more often from chronic symptoms.

Lyme, bacterial infections, viruses, rheumatoid factors, Ankylosing spondylitis, bulging discs, mold toxicity, chronic strep, autoimmune diseases, etc. are all contributing to my 69 year-old body. I ache so bad, I feel useless now.

🙏

IDK.....so what just tell yourself you don't have pain and voila?? Come on now... what I find really works is painkillers, cortisone shots, etc

Every option should be available to people in pain.

Dr Wu, you are so knowledgeable! It was pleasure listening to Mathew Walker earlier and now you ❤ Thank you Karim for hosting this talk 🙏

Excellent interview. Who was the person he was referring to at the end? The scientist fellow..?

It's a huge and important point that "The pain is real".. because with the current atmosphere of medication-averse young MDs, a patient gets hyper aware that their doctor thinks that they are "drug seeking" when they even MENTION that there could be an emotional aspect. You've GOT to start with "The pain is real".

How to handle the symptom imperative?

I recall that no doctor who worked with Sarno ever referred anyone to him! Docs don’t want to hear this.

Doc, if our TMS is self punishment due to parental guilt how do we teach the brain there’s no danger?

I'm praying for everyone with pain. There is hope. I'm also praying that I can live a full life regardless, forget my symptoms and do what I have to do.

Hi! I found this very interesting, thank you! You mentioned Karim, meditation a few times. What type of meditation do you do please?

😭

No disrespect but so far not impressed. Possibly because I have a lot of physical ailments from connective tissue disorder bone on bone in my back and other places in my body.. wonderful for those that it does help but it's not going to help everyone and I feel like I'm not one. Good luck to all that it does help I'm happy for you.

I started using this approach as a massage therapist with my clients and am already seeing huge progress in chronic pain cases across the board. Thanks so much for bringing this information to light.

Dear Peter, Karim. Is trembling of the inner ear ( by some noises) are also coming from the brain as the sound? It feels like a tension on the nerve system..

My pain is here from the loss of a loved one

I have to tell you dr. Shubiner, I finally got totally free of my pain an moved into a new apt. this only goes to show you all your theories are correct. Im no longer living on that busy street an walking to the busstop every morning!! I am safe resting and only go out when I actually need to

That was rude of you about President Trump. You are evidently a lefty.

Linda historia……….😊

I feel conflicted: on one hand, i have structural pain, if i would sign consents, I have surgeons who would move forward with no less than 6 surgeries. Its comforting knowing that my brain isn't "creating the pain". On the other hand, it seems that it would be easier if my pain was "just" TMS. Even when i take the assessment, I don't score a "TMS score".

Dr. - could this apply to Protracted Acute Withdrawal Syndrome - something that happens to people who have tapered off prescribed benzodiazapines??

Thanks Karim...great interview with Dr Schubiner, heard Howard talk many times, but it's always great to hear again!! Very comprehensive / helpful discussion.

I get everything the good doctor said, but the years of misdiagnosis to millions and millions who died and of ruined lives...This is the reprocessing point where my thought pivots...I am thankful I'm still alive...Anyways, I am glad this conversation is getting to more and more people.

Please STOP the ads. Terrible disteaction, ironically

I don't know, and I don't know an effing thing anymore. Lower, mid, upper back pain and both hands. Not much of my body not affected and it has been since I was a teenager from accidents that happened before puberty. Surgery? Doctors won't touch me, too dangerous. A good thing probably but now they are taking away medication because the government has determined how much is ok for my type of pain. Makes my trigger finger itchy, only so much I'm going to experience.

I have been struggling with back problems for over 4 years, someone suggested my pain maybe neuroplastic. I completely dismissed it and would not entertain it. Something changed about 3 weeks ago I started reading and watching videos about pyschosomatic pain. Knowing that there was nothing structurally wrong with me (had mri, X-ray) I decided to give the techniques a go and I’ve dramatically changed in my pain levels I actually can’t believe it. In the back of my mind I sometimes still go back to thinking there is something wrong and I still feel pain. But the pain intensity and my fear levels have changed so much.

I find it a bit paradoxical how the sarno guys completely reject conventional treatments (which makes sense as they do not work) but rely religiously on conventional diagnostics. I believe if all tests are ok it doesnt mean youre physically fine, it just means we dont have good enough tests yet. Also, an old relative of mine with terminal cancer had a huge symptom relief on a vacation so thats not really a clue to psychosomatic pain. I think any chronic pain from any illness is dynamic and responds to mood and life events. Also, the main stressor in the patient's life is the pain/symptoms itself - in my own life its the only stressor. So again, a bit paradoxical. A chronic pain patient by definition can't not be in stress.

👍👍👍❤

Good science...but wrong anecdotal history. The old clan societies were polygamous...so there were NO wives. Wives as a concept came much later with the rise of the lethal patriarchies, whereby women were owned and controlled.by men. And to have a flashing subscribe button is terrible. Really cheapo.

This is so refreshing! I am open to the possibilities of being pain free again. Thank you so much!

An example of say bulging or herniated discs causing pain, & some people with these diagnoses not experiencing pain, surely it would depend on whether the bulge/ herniation is pressing on nerves or not ?? If the bulge was pressing against a nerve then that is real pain yes?

Excellent

Thank you so much for this interview. So informative and encouraging. Dr Howard you are a saint! Mind Body therapy literally saved me life.🫶✨️

23:31: That's it, if you get nothing out of this interview, that would be it

Great interview. Thank you so much ♡
