A YouTube interview between Vishen Lakhiani and Dr. Okar Simonton about meditation/mindfulness and its therapeutic effects. The speakers claim over 15,000 scientific studies link lowered brainwave states (alpha/meditation) with health improvements (e.g., psoriasis, depression, sleep, back pain, heart health). They cite a Silva-method imagery-therapy case series of 159 incurable cancer patients (given 12 months prognosis) with four-year follow-up: 63 of 159 alive; 14 with no signs of cancer; 12 with regressing cancer; 17 stable; average survival 24.4 months. A testimonial quote attributes high clinical value to the Silva method.
