Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic disease-hypertension, chronic fatigue, migraine headaches, asthma, allergies, arthritis, anxiety, etc. Unfortunately, modern medicine has not been able to provide complete relief. In this thoughtfully written book, Dr. Reddy provides a new paradigm for the origin, progression, and treatment of chronic disease.

Drawing on the wisdom of Maharishi Vedic Medicine, she describes how disease begins when the body becomes disconnected from its own inner intelligence, and progresses with unhealthy patterns of eating, thinking, and living. The natural therapies described here work where modern medicine has failed because they eliminate disease at its source rather than simply managing symptoms.

Included are case histories from Dr. Reddy patients and scientific studies that verify this approach.

Maharishi Vedic Medicine is a holistic approach to health that emphasizes harmony in all aspects of a person's life. Treatments for chronic ailments are individualized, as this form of Ayurvedic medicine stresses that the person is treated, not the disease. Although the authors assume some knowledge of the topic, their thoughtfully written guide presents the concepts in a very readable style, explaining how to apply them to the treatment of chronic conditions. The appendix includes information on locating practitioners of Maharishi Vedic Medicine and a lengthy list of recommended reading. Reddy, an anesthesiologist and faculty member at Albany Medical College before becoming director of the Maharishi Vedic Health Center in Bethesda, MD, has written extensively on this subject, as has Egenes, who teaches at the Maharishi University of Management.
