I'm part of an international sangha/community of a several thousand hardcore yogis and meditators. Our quarterly newspaper lists all the births and deaths in the community. There are several a year. My observation would be that a good number of people who are hardcore meditators are also hardcore into alternative health practices. In some cases they will even forego any allopathic treatment in favor of Ayurveda or Tibetan medicine, etc. etc. The majority of these people die early because they either do not seek "conventional" treatment for diseases (with sometime excellent prognoses) or they delay conventional treatment. An example that comes to mind was a woman who worked at the health food supermarket. She had a fibroid the size of a large grapefruit. Because she believed she should do everything "all natural" she refused to have this removed--even though that meant she could no longer have sex. Granted, in this case it was benign, but that just highlights in my mind what lengths some will go to to maintain a belief system--even when conventional treatment is quite capable of helping them or even curing them.

> > Margaret Cooper MS 60 Maybe I'm thinking of a different Margaret Norman, but the one I know, part of the Cambridge center for a while and a resident of my town before moving to ff with husband Norman, was a lot younger than 60. I thought she was 37 or so at the time. There's also the audiovisual guy who was hit by lightning while hiking up a mountain in Colorado. Also, Goldfaber. Also, Gary the insurance guy.
