Cory Doctorow talks about how he conquered back pain using the power of the mind. I trust Doctorow enough to run and get the books. He describes it thusly:

“Your mileage may vary, but after more than a year of this, I’m ready to start talking about it. Like Atkins for weight loss and hypnosis for smoking cessation, Sarnoid back-therapy feels something like getting root on my body, like being able to move into user-controlled space stuff that the OS was badly mismanaging in the background.”

I would very much like to get root on my body, how about you?
