Cancer treatment through yoga is just a year away

The Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, a yoga institute in Bangalore claims to have cured cancer through yoga.

Yoga helps a lot of people deal with all kinds of diseases and conditions that they are suffering from. Though there have been very limited studies on whether yoga can cure you of diseases, it definitely helps you manage the condition. Even a disease like cancer can be dealt with yoga. If you are at a risk of developing cancer, you can also try Yoga to prevent cancer.

A cancer treatment through Yoga that does away with the need for chemotherapy to arrest and cure the disease is just a year away, Union Minister of state for AYUSH Shripad Naik said on Saturday. Speaking on the sidelines of the AYUSH expo organised by the central ministry near Panaji, the minister said his ministry is in the process of vetting documentation submitted by a Bengaluru-based deemed yoga university, which is said to have cured patients suffering from cancer using yoga.

There is an institute in Bengaluru. They have found a yoga technique for prevention and treatment of cancer. We have collected all documentation, and the process is going on, Naik told reporters. Naik said that prima facie he was confident about the cancer cure claimed by the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, a deemed university headed by H. R. Narendra. H.R. Narendra is a mechanical engineer who has worked as a post-doctoral research associate at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1970 and subsequently had a stint at Harvard University. Asked how long it would take for the AYUSH ministry to vet the documentation submitted by the Samsthana related to cancer cure, Naik said: I think it will take about a year. The documentation should be perfect.
