This org has a long history of deception. In fact, when TM and blood pressure was investigated <i>independently</i> it was shown to be the WORSE form of meditation for lowering blood pressure. It was also the most expensive. TM "true believer" researchers often hide funding sources and consistently utilize controls poorly, in order to manipulate data.<br /><br />While most of their claims were disputed scientifically and independently decades ago, the Org (not unlike the Scientology org) just keeps putting out more low quality studies. It's amazing that anyone takes them seriously, but they do market the heck out these "studies" to make it look impressive.Night Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174747676540441202noreply@blogger.com
