Patients' Relief Relieves Physician
By Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D.
 A patient of mine had a stroke at age 50. He'd been traveling
frequently, working hard, and eating poorly. As a result of
several months of rehabilitation, he recovered some of his lost
abilities, but then his progress leveled off. He still had
weakness in one arm and leg, and his speech and thinking were
not as clear as before. He decided to try Maharishi's Vedic
Vibration Technology. Within a few weeks of his
consultation, everything had improved 65 to 70 percent.
A lady in generally good health had suffered from constipation
her whole life. Three weeks after her consultation, she reported
that she'd been having normal elimination, even during a week of
travel, which was usually her most difficult time. She
considered this a complete resolution of her lifelong problem,
but was equally pleased to tell me she was enjoying a new and
profound sense of well being and ease in her life.
When my patients ask me about Maharishi's Vedic Vibration
Technology, I explain that it's an effortless, non-medical
approach, and give them an overview of the program's
possibilities. I review the results achieved so far, making it
clear that people are experiencing a range of outcomes. In most
cases, I'm able to tell my patients that I feel it's certainly
worth a try.
Initial research is beginning to provide the average percentage
improvement for different disorders. This is a standard
approach-percentages are also used to evaluate medical
procedures. Many drugs are as little as 15 to 20 percent more
effective than a placebo, and yet they are prescribed every day
by doctors and taken by patients hoping for results.
Unfortunately, these drugs also have complications and side
effects that can create even more serious problems, while the
underlying imbalance is never addressed.
The advantage of Maharishi's Vedic Vibration Technology is that it
can restore balance to the physiology at a very profound level.
Enlivening the inner intelligence of the body allows its natural
healing responses to take place, without unwanted side effects.
One woman I saw had been to many doctors and psychologists
seeking help for her son's behavioral problems. Bedtime was
always a struggle; he just didn't like to go to bed. One night,
shortly after his consultation, he announced, "I'm tired.
I'm going to bed." His mother remembers thinking, "Is
this our son?" At school he started shrugging off taunts
from other children, whereas before he would get angry and often
lash back.
As this child became more in tune with his own inner
intelligence, he began to naturally go along with the needs of
his body. As long as there is an imbalance inside, the habitual
response continues. Once order is restored within, outer
behavior begins to change automatically.
A long-time patient had suffered intractable itching from eczema
since childhood. I'd seen him for 10 years, and always wished I
could do more to help him. As a last resort, he tried Maharishi's Vedic Vibration Technology.
At first he didn't notice any results from his consultation. Two
weeks later, I heard someone knocking at my office door after
hours. When I opened the door, there he was, almost jumping up
and down with excitement. He couldn't wait to tell me that his
skin was nearly normal, and that he felt better than he had in
20 years.
It was one of those golden moments for a doctor, when you feel
grateful to see your patient's suffering finally end. Three
months later, he's still enjoying his newfound relief, and so am
I.
