  • did the do a controlled experiment on it? did they show the people pictures of fake brains or someone elses brain to see if it is just a placebo...if i thought i could control pain id probably feel less pain too

  • Everone should read THE MIND BODY PRESCRIPTION by DR John Sarno. It talks about how the brain creates physical pain to distract us from emotional issues in our lives. It helps when you understand whats going on in you brain and body.

  • Read "Dissolving Pain: Simple Brain Training Exercises for Overcoming Chronic Pain". Les Fehmi developed the Open Focus Attention theory. The book comes with a CD with guided "exercises" that are designed to shift your attention. He won't call them meditations, but that is essentially what they are. They give your brain and body a rest. There's an article on Health.com on April 5, 2011 about how a "focused attention" type of meditation reduces pain.

  • I got it..if you rip your brain in half you will have no pain.

  • So, what about headaches?

  • thank you for this video

  • OMG! I'm cured of my back pain!!! After all this time all I had to do was watch this crap video and stare at the pompous pustule of a man tell me that it wasn't the inflammation, but rather my brain causing the pain! What a genius!

  • like all things off, you get used to it and it becomes part of you.

  • This isn't new, martial artists have been doing this for centuries. You stand in a painful posture and think of nothing, the mind is yours to control else it is you who are controlled by it's instincts. It really is as simple as practicing.

  • this is fucking awesome

  • There is a reason that she has backpain, she shouldnt be doing any thing that creats it.
