Can Cancer Be Cured With Yoga?
A cure for cancer exists through the use of yoga, a San Antonio, Texas, cancer expert said during a debate in Oklahoma City in the 1980s.
But physicians refused to acknowledge the cure, said Col. Hansa Raval, M.D., a pathologist with the United States Army. Dr. Raval said her work in cytotechnology _ a diagnostic branch of medicine designed to pinpoint early stages of cancer _ was fruitless until she began researching the use of non-conventional methods of treatment.
The specialist said she observed the use of Raja yoga and meditation cure crippling arthritis, headaches and even cancer.
And even though Raval offers documentation, which she said was collected during two years of study at the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University in India, she has been dismissed by other members of the medical specialty as a kook.
Yoga's success as a treatment method is due to another hypothesis Raval proposes that 98 percent of all cancer is psychosomatic.
This is not chanting or mantra reciting, the physician said. It's not based on scriptures. It's not a cult. It's not biofeedback. It's deeper than that. This is a full-proof method of meditation, a detailed common assent of what the soul is.
Raval maintains that medical schools belittle the study of non-conventional methods of cancer treatment in favor of conventional methods such as radiation, chemotherapy, and care through machines.
The soul creates the disorder, but the body suffers. If the psyche creates the affliction, the only way to cure it is through the psyche. It's a very clear-cut formula: treating the seed of the problem.
Further, studies in parapsychology all point to the treatment of illness through care of the soul. In fact, medical schools teach students that the human being is only a body. But the mind has the power to cure the body. By definition, psychosomatic means a combination of mind, or soul and body.
The World Spiritual University, which has branches in 30 countries, teaches peace and preciseness for health and happiness through the use of Raja yoga. The university gained status as a non-governmental member of the United Nations and has offices at the U.N. building in New York.
Raja yoga teaches students to search their soul world for answers on where they came from and why the cancer entered their body. They ascertain what role religion, stress, family and lifestyle played in the cancer.
So is there truly a cure for cancer by practicing yoga? The fact that there is investigation is exciting, but not conclusive. While there are effective means of treating affliction beyond the conventional Western approach, it may be premature to turn our backs on what has been proven effective. But there's always hope and yoga is no doubt a useful and beneficial activity. But will it cure cancer? It may be too early to tell, but what's the harm in trying?
