--- Ms Oates is seriously mistaken.Infact few if any diseases are solely caused by stress(although stress is a mediating factor in many diseases). The truth is the biggest single "cause" of disease is aging eg someone is many times more likely to get cancer at 80 then at 18.Reducing stress via any relaxation technique TN included while likely having a positive effect on most meditators health will not be any more important than other behaviors eg not smoking,eating a calorie restricted diet and getting a good nights sleep etc.Kevin
