Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology:
Doctor's Comments

Steele Belok, M.D., Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Harvard University Medical School, Staff Physician at Mt. Auburn Hospital, Boston, MA

Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology is a quantum mechanical approach. It’s different from everything we have in contemporary or alternative medicine. We already know that the body is made up of separate parts, and those parts are made of smaller parts, and ultimately very small parts or particles

The quantum mechanical understanding is that the smallest particles, the elementary particles that make up matter, can be viewed equally as solid particles or as waves. So everything, including our own bodies, is made of both particles and waves.

And so, if the body is made of waves or vibrations, one could use another vibration to restructure an area of abnormality. It would be like having a tuning fork. When we hit a tuning fork and it starts vibrating, then another tuning fork set at a similar frequency also spontaneously starts to vibrate.

I’ve been most impressed by the dramatic results that a number of my patients have received with this approach for their chronic health conditions. Many other treatments, both modern medical and natural, had not given them substantial relief.

MVVT is compatible with any medical therapy the patient might need. It’s a very effortless approach— the patient really has to do nothing. I think that is really the appeal. With no effort the person can experience a lot of benefit.

One of the most heart-wrenching problems that I see are parents who have children whom they can’t control, whom they cannot make happy, who make their lives very difficult. I’ve had some experiences now with families who have brought their children for Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology, and I was truly amazed by the positive results.

We've seen, on the average, that after three sessions of the MVVT program, individuals report a 30 to 50 percent improvement in their symptoms. This is most unusual when compared to modern therapies and is relatively unknown outside of Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology and Maharishi Vedic Medicine programs.

Congress recently mandated that the National Institutes of Health look at complementary and alternative medicine modalities, since nearly half of the American population is already using these modalities and the NIH really wants to know which work and which don't. In particular, the NIH has put more than 17 million dollars into research on Maharishi Vedic Medicine, because for the last 25 years research has shown that it is effective.
