On The Table Read, “the best book magazine in the UK“, Dr. Shuvendu Sen has released his new book to take us beyond drugs, Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer’s: A Holistic Treatment Approach through Meditation, Yoga, and the Arts.
Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer’s: A Holistic Treatment Approach through Meditation, Yoga, and the Arts
According to Dr. Shuvendu Sen, Alzheimer’s is the “Achilles tendon of modern medicine”. In his new book, Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer’s: A Holistic Treatment Approach through Meditation, Yoga, and the Arts, he argues that attempts to treat the condition with drugs or procedures are as futile as trying to get a group of ants to consume a large pizza.
“Nowhere is the cry for answers more poignant than with Alzheimer’s disease,” writes Dr. Sen in the introduction to his book. “Of all the diseases that continue to harass humanity, Alzheimer’s holds hostage the very fulcrum of human existence: its mind.”
Alzheimer’s
Research conducted by the National Institute on Aging shows that by 2025, we are likely to reach 7.1 million people aged 65 and over suffering from Alzheimer’s. With modern medicine seemingly stumped for answers, Dr. Sen offers a ray of hope.
In Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer’s, Dr. Sen discusses the challenges of diagnosing Alzheimer’s. He shares the shortcomings of pharmaceutical treatments, and fascinating scientific discoveries about how meditation has the power to rewire brain circuits and protect the areas of the mind most impacted by chronic stress, known as a “point of entry” for major health conditions like heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
“Alzheimer’s disease has become a gigantic specter that looms before all of us as we age, and it is advancing unimpeded,” said Dr. Sen. “Today we know that contributing factors and symptoms (such as stress and hypertension) can be alleviated with holistic, alternate management approaches.”
Dr. Sen shares how research from bodies such as Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University and Mayo Clinic, demonstrates that meditation and yoga can halt or even reverse the course of Alzheimer’s.
“They set the mind on an inward journey where the risk factors that precipitate the disease are formed,” he said. “This bridging of the old and new creates an imperative paradigm shift in our perspective toward Alzheimer’s disease management. Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer’s is precisely what is needed to cause a drastic and necessary revolution in medical care.”
