What Transcendental Meditation & Maharishi AyurVeda can offer in terms of preventing Alzheimer's disease


Now there may be new hope for those suffering with or at risk for Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Dale Bredesen, renowned neurologist and author of the recent bestseller The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline, is changing the science and treatment of this neuro-degenerative disease.
His published, peer-reviewed findings are the first to show a reversal of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s. The comprehensive “whole person” approach known as the Bredesen Protocol is now being followed by over 1,000 patients.

Many of the studied patients have shown significant cognitive improvements in three to six months—some in as little as four days—improvements that have been sustained for years while patients adhere to the Protocol. The findings of these studies could be game-changing for all those who carry the Alzheimer’s gene.

Now, in an exciting new collaboration, Dr. Bredesen is recommending the Transcendental Meditation technique as an integral part of his protocol. “There are a number of ways in which TM is actually a part of the overall approach to preventing and reversing cognitive decline,” he said, citing published studies on the TM technique showing improvements in neuroplasticity and global brain wave (EEG) coherence associated with improved cognitive performance, intelligence, and memory, as well as significant reductions in hypertension, stress, and anxiety.

“We’re just at the dawn of the era of preventable and treatable neurodegenerative diseases,” he said. “The reality is that if everyone does the right things, gets on the right program, gets the right analysis, Alzheimer’s disease should be a rare disease.”

Why Transcendental Meditation?

“We’re always using the exact same compass, which is: What is it that can be done that will get the optimal results for everyone?” Dr. Bredesen said. “We are agnostic when it comes to any specific brand; we simply follow the data. We want to support and utilize what has the greatest support. And in this case, there is repeated, published support for the TM technique’s effect on brain plasticity, for its effect on stress, for its effect on cardiovascular disease.”

The groundbreaking Bredesen Protocol will now recommend the TM technique as an integral part of its program

He went on to list the many other ways the TM technique can play a role in the fight against Alzheimer’s: “One of the predictors for cognitive decline is hypertension, so the fact that TM has been shown to have an effect on hypertension is key. Another critical piece is stress, and again, there are published results on the TM technique reducing stress. There are even published results on things like telomeres [the ends of chromosomes] lengthening. There is so much published evidence suggesting that this is helpful, that it could be a very important piece of the overall program to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s. We look forward to studying the results of this collaboration.”
