Jay Glaser, MD is medical director of the Lancaster Ayurveda Medical Centers. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a member of the medical staff at the UMass Memorial--Clinton Hospital. His degrees include a BA from Dartmouth College and an MD degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He served his internal medicine residency and fellowship at McGill University's Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal.
In 1972, while researching infectious diseases in India, he encountered Ayurvedic medicine and wrote one of the first treatises on Ayurveda from the perspective of a Western scientist. While working as an Attending Physician at Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital in 1978, he took a radical departure from the traditional career path of an academic physician, making Vedic medicine his career and beginning to study Vedic Medicine under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Dr. Glaser has made research and teaching about the diverse physiological and clinical effects of Vedic Medicine a high priority, publishing and presenting numerous scientific papers on the influence of Ayurvedic herbs and therapeutics on chronic disorders and on the Transcendental Meditation technique.
Dr. Glaser credits Maharishi and the eminent Ayurvedic physicians from India with whom he has worked and studied for the successes of Lancaster's clinical programs. These physicians include Dr. V.N. Dwivedi, Dr. Brihaspati Dev Triguna, Dr. Balraj Maharshi, Dr. H.S. Kasture, Ashtavaidya Devakaran Mooss, his mentors in medicine; and Dr. P.J. Deshpande, with whom he studied and practiced Ayurvedic surgery in Varanasi.
