QUOTE FROM MAHARISHI

"Only a holistic approach that takes into consideration all aspects
of mind and body together can be successful in handling health. As
every aspect of life is the expression of Natural Law, the approach
to health must be based on the knowledge of the origin and evolution
of Natural Law--guiding principles of intelligence upholding the
balanced functioning of the human physiology." -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

A PARADIGM SHIFT IN HEALTH CARE

This is a time of great transition in health care -- a time of
unprecedented public and professional interest in natural approaches
to the prevention and treatment of disease. For example:

o In 1997 Americans spent approximately $30 billion on natural
   approaches to health care

o In 1997 Americans paid more visits to natural/complementary
   practitioners than to primary care physicians.

o Another dramatic sign of this paradigm shift is the recent
   publication of an entire issue of the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN
   MEDICAL ASSOCIATION dedicated to discussion of natural/
   complementary treatments (November 11, 1998).

o An increasing number of U.S. insurers and managed care organizations
   now offer coverage for natural/complementary therapies.

o The majority of U.S. medical schools now offer courses on various
   aspects of natural/complementary therapies.


********************************************************************

WHY IS THIS SHIFT TAKING PLACE?

There are many reasons for this shift taking place in every part of
the world. These include:

o A growing recognition of the limitations of modern medicine in
   the treatment of chronic diseases.
   EXAMPLE: Approximately 100 million Americans suffer from at
   least one chronic disease -- that is, a disease for which modern
   medicine has no cure.

o Growing concern with the hazardous side effects of medications
   and invasive procedures.
   EXAMPLE: MEDLINE, the computerized medical research database of
   the U.S. National Library of Medicine, lists more than 7,000
   articles, reports, and scientific research papers on the hazardous
   side effects of modern medical treatments.

o Desire for more effective approaches to prevention.
   EXAMPLE: The growing number of people seeking treatment outside
   the mainstream -- more than 600 million visits in 1997.

o The high cost and impersonal nature of modern medical care.
   EXAMPLE: The U.S. spends $1.3 trillion on health care annually,
   and the cost is rising precipitously. If the current trend
   continues, the U.S. will spend 19% of its gross domestic product
   on medical care by the year 2000.
