National Cancer Institute To Fund Yoga Study
The NCI is funding a $2.4 million study on yoga for cancer patients. This isn’t pseudo-science, necessarily. Nobody is saying that yoga prevents cancer or treats it in any way. The idea is that yoga can help in coping with cancer, especially when patients are in chemotherapy treatment. Previous studies have shown benefits of yoga for cancer patients receiving traditional western medical treatment. There is some speculation that the yoga helps stimulate the immune system.
