Abstract

It is suggested that the atavistic regression of the mind in intensive meditation is accompanied by a similar physiological regression, and that this may involve the immune system and so influence the patient’s defences against cancer. This article continues the case report of a patient with carcinoma of the breast in which regression of metastases occurred after intensive meditation.
