A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and increased natural pain relief chemicals in participants’ blood. The effects even promoted neuron growth and stronger brain connectivity. Surprisingly, the experience mirrored psychedelic-like brain states—without any drugs involved.
Placebo/nocebo effects are powerful…
But the guy who did this research is a full on grifter.
It’s akin to Steve Jobs treating cancer by eating fruit. It didn’t mean that fruit doesn’t have any health benefits, it just can’t cure cancer.
Like, this chiropractor truly believes any human can be one immortal if they just “live in the moment” enough…
And he wrote a paper about how awesome he is and how effective his company’s treatments are
He’s just not dumb enough to put all his programs claims up to scientific rigor. You prove the handful of parts that you can, then extrapolate that to the obvious grift parts.
It’s snake oil salesmanship 101, basic enough everyone should recognize it on sight, just so they don’t fall for it.
