Imagine this picture: A young woman walks through a spring-green field, luxuriant grass waving around her knees. She holds a freshly picked bouquet of colorful wildflowers to her nose. There is a look of happy serenity on her face, a carefree swing to her stride.

Or this picture: A radiant gray-haired couple, eyes warm and glowing with the love and wisdom attained during a long and fulfilling life, gaze at each other with deep affection. Health and vitality beam from their faces.

Open almost any magazine and you will see full-page photographs of enchanting scenes like these—advertisements for relief from respiratory ailments, cardiovascular problems and many other diseases. The slogans imply that the medications touted there will make your life as idyllic as these pictures.

But now turn the page.

On the reverse side of those beautiful images lurks a different story. The law requires that manufacturers of these drugs disclose their known side-effects and contraindications, a list that usually covers the entire page, even in the smallest print.

There is a medical term—"iatrogenic illness"—for diseases produced as a side-effect of drugs, surgery, diagnostic procedures or other therapies of modern medicine. Doctors know that even "successful" treatments often alleviate one set of symptoms only to trade them for a different and potentially more serious set of problems.

Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology is a non-medical approach that can produce better health without harm—the ideal of all health disciplines. Over 2,000 people in the United States have reported significant improvements in their symptoms without harmful side-effects. The best part is these people are reporting positive side-effects. We could even call them side-benefits! Have you ever seen a list of side-benefits on the back-side of a drug advertisement?

"I see so many people after their consultation and I notice that every one of them looks good, very refreshed, very clear," says Shirley Boncheff, a tour coordinator for the Northeast. "They have a lot of bliss. I don’t always make a comment to them about it, but it’s quite remarkable. It’s a transforming experience every time. It’s amazing that such a simple procedure could have such a noticeable and immediate effect like that."

Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology utilizes the knowledge and technology of Vedic sound to enliven the body’s own inner intelligence, supporting the body’s self-repair mechanisms. Through a refined impulse of vibration, pain is transformed into a feeling of pleasantness, abnormality is transformed into more normal functioning.

"I feel increased energy flow in my body," says Kathleen Fite, who sought relief from hypertension. "Also a feeling of lightness and much greater calmness and happiness. My blood pressure is lower.

"I have also experienced greater harmony with family members. As the congestion around my heart and blood vessels dissolves, so do the blockages in my relationship with family members, which had been part of my health problem. The treatment has been helpful on all levels and the healing continues."

Philip Dearborn was pleased with his side-benefits. "The program has meant more to me than you can know. My frozen shoulder syndrome has been virtually eliminated. But there were unexpected benefits as well.

"The healing continued to work down into my back and into my pelvic area. Because of that, my long-term pelvis tilt (short-long leg syndrome) of the past 36 years has also been eliminated. I haven’t needed to see my chiropractor for 6 months. I’m most grateful, and I’ve told this story to many of my friends."

Now imagine yourself, free from discomfort and disease. Well-being, peace, happiness and bliss are part of your daily life. This is the true picture of health.

The High Heap of Hazards from an article by Barry Charles, M.D.

Physicians and patients have come to accept medical hazards as a necessary price to pay for modern diagnosis and therapy even though they may be seriously debilitating or lethal. The same is true with medical errors. Studies have shown errors to be so pervasive that mistakes are considered to be an inevitable part of the medical system, giving rise to the term ‘necessary fallibility.’

The deplorable acceptance of disease or medical error as a consequence of treatment reflects a deviation from the most primary principle of medical ethics—primum non nocere—above all do no harm. The wealth of data documenting the serious nature and extent of the hazards associated with modern medicine has made clear that fundamental deficiencies exist in the current medical approach and that new knowledge is urgently needed to effectively address this problem."
