I would also like to say a few words  about a very good friend of mine, Dan Brooks, who thinks along the same line as I do. His advice when it comes to dealing with pain of any kind, is quite remarkable, and I would defiantly recommend you take a look at his web site.  http://giveuppain.com/ I can honestly say, that with what I was going through for the past month, and on going into today, that I would not have been able to cope with out his help.  It is a simple method of how one can deal with pain, directly and affectively.  I should also say here, that his method can also be used for what is in us all, that being……… FEAR along with many others too. While at his Site take a look around, as there is a wealth of info on it, not to forget his book he was written on; The ICUR’s Method To Permanent Weight Loss.  It’s not just a  book totally on weight loss, no….. not by no means, inside you will see how Dan works his magic, so that you can have a happier, healthy way of life.  Also don’t be afraid to get in touch with him and chat to him directly, sometimes a voice is better than just a few words.  Great fellow.
