CHICAGO: Robert Schneider, MD asserted before physicians from around the country attending the 31st Annual AAPI Convention in Chicago that the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has a significant effect in lowering high blood pressure, besides lowering the incidence of heart attacks by 48 per cent.
Over 100 physicians were enthralled by Dr. Schneider detailing the research papers published over the last 40 years showing physiological changes during the TM technique.
Dr. Schneider has been the principal researcher of several studies on TM’s effect on heart health
Over 26% of the world’s population is affected by hypertension which is the biggest cause of mortality, strokes and heart attacks. While drugs are able to reduce hypertension and heart attack, the TM technique achieves the same goals without numerous side effects.
The American Heart Association (AHA) published a report April 22 that concludes that Maharishi’s TM technique lowers blood pressure, and recommends it be considered in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of Hypertension. The report stated that the lower blood pressure through (TM) technique practice is associated with substantially reduced rates of death, heart attack, and stroke. The purpose of the report was to inform physicians which alternatives are effective.
Part of the impetus for this statement from the AHA comes from patients themselves, who are sometimes reluctant to take medication.
Based on a fast-growing interest in researching the TM technique, he also revealed that there is a significant reduction in medical costs among the 5000 patients practicing this technique compared to costs incurred by for non-meditators. Further, studies on aging also demonstrated that those who had been practicing this technique for five years or longer had a biological age of 12 years less than their non-meditating chronological counterparts.
Dr. Schneider also reviewed other research in progress with lowering PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in shell-shocked veterans, and ADHD, as well as the news from Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, IA.
