Meditation is awesome, but I want to see some studies done with this particular indication. I will repeat: meditation is great. But when it starts getting suggested as some kind of medical treatment, it moves out of the realm of religious practice and into the realm of research where health care belongs. At that point we have to be willing to keep whatever works and throw out whatever doesn't, or else we are seriously going to get people killed.

You have expressed this the way it must be expressed, and I can think of no better formulation. This kind of thing does kill people and here is an example.
