In this interview, Robert shares his story of recovering from chronic symptoms that were so bad he could barely eat anything and even used a wheel chair at times. In the last half we discuss how he sees TMS through the lens of the fear being a deceiver. He also wrote a couple books and has created a website. (see below) Enjoy! Here is his bio. I was never officially diagnosed, but several doctors and healthcare professionals thought I had Crohn’s disease or Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was ill to some extent for about 9 years, of which 15 months were extremely acute. One functional medicine doctor told me I was ‘the worst autoimmune patient’ he had ever seen. I needed a wheelchair to travel more than 200 feet. I had terrible back pain and reacted so badly to all food and drink except mushrooms, cucumbers, cabbage juice and almond milk that for 4 months I only consumed 900-1100 calories per day. I tried every alternative medicine remedy I could think of (including various herbs and supplements), but nothing worked. In the end, I decided I had to recover. I prayed to Christ to be shown the way to heal. Then I had a dream. I had recently bought a book by Dr John Sarno called Healing Back Pain, but it was left unread on my nightstand because I couldn’t accept that my pain was solely psychogenic. In the dream I was on a podcast, holding up Sarno’s book and saying, ‘diet is ok, but this is better.’ After that dream, I read Sarno and other TMS books. I started journaling and began to slowly recover. Every week I walked a little farther and ate a little more. After 15 months, I had fully recovered. I could eat and drink anything humanly edible, do 60 consecutive pushups and run a 10k in 40 minutes.
