Summary
A pandemic of type-2 diabetes threatens to bankrupt Western industrialized nations. In 2012, in the United States alone, more than 22.3 million people (about 7 percent of the U.S. population) suffered from the disease at an estimated cost of $245 billion. Prevention has so far focussed on dietary manipulation and exercise. On completing this paper the reader will have gained practical knowledge of the significant contribution that Transcendental Meditation and its associated techniques from Maharishi Ayur-Ved can make in extending these measures to a more global prevention strategy.
