I have practiced traditional, primary-care internal medicine for over 20 years.

There always is a significant percentage of my patients who cannot be helped by the Western medical system. After finishing the level 1 MAAA course, I am now able to help many of those patients using Maharishi Ayurvedic medicine. My patients and I are thrilled."
