212 Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine Meditation, and the relaxation response) extrinsic energy therapies for CVD do not represent conceptual or reported issues of patient safety. Small clinical trials of mediation, yoga, and the relaxation response have noted small but significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressures in subjects with hypertension, suggesting a role for their use in appropriate subjects. Animal studies and select small noncontrolled studies in humans indicate a possible future role for EM, sound, and laser energy therapies for CVD. Selected studies, as noted previously, are intriguing but do not yet form the basis for contemporary clinical use of these therapies in humans. REFERENCES 1. Gerber R. Vibrational Medicine.
