Research shows cancer can be cured by yoga: Union minister Shripad Naik

Alright you scumbags, I am going to provide some actual evidence for the sake of argument. I am certainly not a blind believer of Yoga, nor am I an 18 year old scum bag like many of you in this thread are. However, I also know that somewhere, someone has done a clinical trial and a clinical review of Yoga in preventing and treating cancer. So I did a simple google scholar search so I can make all the scum bags in this tread look like retards. For the record, I don't know a single thing about Yoga, but I do know how to find science.

This paper in a peer-reviewed journal did a clinical trial and concludes that "Over the course of the Iyengar Yoga for Cancer program participants reported an improvement in overall well-being."

This paper below says "some positive results were noted" and "future research should examine what components of yoga are most beneficial, and what types of patients receive the greatest benefit from yoga interventions."

SO instead of outright denying all the positives like many scumbags like you are doing in this post, this paper in a peer-reviewed journal appers to note some positives. Also, many of you self-doubting scumbags might be happy to know that the paper was published by white people.

Finally this last paper "Overall, clinically significant changes in patient-reported outcomes suggest that yoga interventions hold promise for improving cancer survivors' well-being."
