A cure for cancer
exists through the use of yoga, a San Antonio, Texas, cancer specialist said during a seminar 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 witnessed the use of Raja yoga and meditation cure crippling arthritis,
headaches and even cancer.
And even though Raval
offers proof, 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 profession 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 understanding 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
treatment through machines.'
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 soul creates the
disease, but the body suffers. If the psyche creates the disease, the only way
to cure it is through the psyche. It's a very simple formula: treating the seed
of the problem.
Further, studies in
parapsychology all point to the treatment of illness through treatment of the
soul.
The World Spiritual
University, which has
branches in 30 countries, teaches peace and perfection 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 learn what role religion,
stress, family and lifestyle played in the cancer.
