Trancendental Meditation Imropoves CHD risk factors
http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/166/11/1218

Conclusions Use of TM for 16 weeks in CHD patients improved blood pressure and insulin resistance components of the metabolic syndrome as well as cardiac autonomic nervous system tone compared with a control group receiving health education. These results suggest that TM may modulate the physiological response to stress and improve CHD risk factors, which may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of CHD.

2. Started TM when I was 15 years old. And, I used it to have
my kids without any anesthesia. Worked like a charm!
