YOGA AND CANCER

Abstract

Cancer and AIDs have posed probably the greatest challenge to modem medical researchers. Such challenges, each time in the history of science, have expanded the vision of researchers to higher and subtler vistas of nature. For example, the photoelectric effect of light shattered the well established wave theory of light and propounded the dual nature of light saying that light can act as waves or as particles. This led to the generalised laws of our physical world from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics. In the same way, the current challenge of Cancer and AIDS in particular and stress induced disorders in general, is leading us to expand from our matter-based approach to consciousness - based approach; from physical to holistic vision of the world.
