A five-year study of medical care utilization statistics on 2,000 people throughout the U.S. who regularly practiced Transcendental Meditation found that their overall rate of hospitalization was 56% lower than the norm. The group practising Transcendental Meditation had fewer hospital admissions in all disease categories compared to the norm – including 87% less hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease, 55% less for cancer, 87% less for diseases of the nervous system, and 73% less for nose, throat and lung problems.
