It's hardly "junk science". The research on meditation is just beginning. BTW, "namaste" is a Hindu greeting, not a Buddhist one.
You google fast indeed ! It is the greeting used by all you pseudo Buddhist in America. And as for the studies, the first one I heard of was done in 2006. here is the article.

Prayers offered by strangers had no effect on the recovery of people who were undergoing heart surgery, a large and long-awaited study has found.
And patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of post-operative complications like abnormal heart rhythms, perhaps because of the expectations the prayers created, the researchers suggested.
The study was conducted by the mind body institute. The power of prayer, meditation, and positive thought is undeniable. That much is stated in the bible, and most likely the other religious texts. You should take a trip to the used book store and check them out instead of martyring your self on message boards.
Buddhists do not normally use "namaste", unless we are traveling in a Hindu country, where that is the customary greeting. Namaste is not a Buddhist greeting.
Nonetheless, it is a lovely one.
Thats the point. In America, ware few real Buddhist exist, it is commonly used by them. They learn it in the one yoga class they go to usually consisting of 65 year old ladies who are scared of dieing. They also have the little all religion stickers on there cars. You are what folks call a "psuddhist". A fake, phoney. A real Buddhist does not have to post stupidity on a political message board to reaffirm there faith.
