Page "Doug Henning" Paragraph 17

James Randi, a fellow magician and prominent skeptic, was critical of Henning's involvement with Transcendental Meditation ( TM ).

In 2008, Randi asserted in his blog, SWIFT, that TM founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had " caused the death of my friend Doug Henning ".

He claimed that Henning had immersed himself so thoroughly in TM that he " abandoned regular medical treatment for liver cancer, continued to pursue his diet of nuts and berries, and died of the disease.
