Ainslie Meares
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ainslie Meares (1910-1986), was an Australian psychiatrist who used meditation as a means of treatment of psychosomatic and psychoneurotic illnesses.
In 1976, he reported in the Medical Journal of Australia about a regression of cancer he attributed to intensive meditation. Meares would go on to write a number of books, including his best-seller Relief without Drugs.
