massachusets-general-hospitalIn a study at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), it was found that triggering the relaxation response (yes, that Benson) activates a pattern of genes that appear related to stress management.  This study may suggest diverse areas from pain management, arthritis, and many others could be influenced positively by systematically and consistently evoking the relaxation response.

This obviously points in a positive and expected direction, confirming Benson’s original observations in new areas.  Although we don’t attempt to cure or prevent any medical issues, this does suggest broad positive effects from consistent, deep relaxation that is part of the MindFusionX program.
