Most current cancer treatments focus on the cancer itself, but little on the internal environment that cultivated cancer growth in the first place, such as the stress and anxiety, cancer-phobia, emotional disturbance, relationship issues, life-style, nutrition, and purpose in life, etc. which may lead to cancer growth or recurrence. The self-healing retreat in University of Maryland is going to introduce the latest breakthrough in cancer therapy – YOU (the patient’s self-care and self-empowerment)!

Yoga as a mode of therapy has become extremely popular, and a great number of studies and systematic reviews offer scientific evidence of its potential in treating a wide range of psychosomatic conditions. Healthy life can be considered as a by-product of practicing yogic techniques since it has been observed that yoga practitioners are physically and mentally healthier and have better coping skills to stressors than the normal population. This review paper details some of the health promoting benefits of yoga as well as discusses the important cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and metabolic conditions in which it may have preventive, supportive, curative and rehabilitative potential. Role of yoga in stress, mental health, cancer, pregnancy and childhood are also detailed. Mechanisms for such beneficial physiological, biochemical and psychological effects are discussed. Psycho-neuro-endocrine changes including correction of GABAergic activity, and parasympathetic activation coupled with decreased reactivity of sympathoadrenal system and HPA axis are highlighted. Changes in the various evaluated parameters for different conditions are detailed and discussed with ample references. Though most studies and reviews suggest a number of areas where yoga may be beneficial, more research is required for virtually every one of them to establish their benefits conclusively. This is true in the process of introducing any new therapy into the modern health care system and is not surprising when we consider that the proper studies on yoga as a therapeutic modality are not older than a few decades. It is important to develop objective measures of various mind-body therapies and their techniques while including them in intervention trials. An overview is given of the lacunae present in the reviewed studies and suggestions given for improvements in future studies. In conclusion, we can say that yoga has preventive, promotive as well as curative potential and that a yogic lifestyle confers many advantages to the practitioner. Since lifestyle related diseases are alarmingly on the rise in our modern society, yogic lifestyle that is cost effective and relatively safe, should be given a special place in preventing and managing these diseases.
An invited talk by Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani for the Annual Scientic Society meet of Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Pondicherry on 16 December 2016
Introduction: Charles Warner wittily said, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” In modern times, we all seem to talk so much about Yoga, but don’t do anything about experiencing it! “Atha yoganushasanam” says Maharishi Patanjali in his very first verse implying that Yoga is something to be experienced through mindfulness. We can never really ‘do’ Yoga, but we can prepare ourselves for the ‘experience’ of Yoga. Yoga is an experiential science, and Vairagya the key to develop objectivity towards subjective experiences obtained through Abhyasa.
Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga: We can experience states of expanded consciousness through Hatha and Jnana Yoga relaxation techniques as codified by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri in the tradition of Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga. This is now popularly known as Gitananda Yoga in tribute to this great master who played a significant role in bridging modern science and spirituality. This wholesome system focuses on Yoga as a “Way of life” encompassing cultivation of wholesome lifestyle, adoption of health promoting diet, development of unbiased attitudes with bountiful practices for positive health.
Four-fold relaxation: A systematic and conscious adoption of attitudes results in deep experiential states of relaxation.
1. Letting go: We need to let go of our prejudices and preconceived notions.
2. Giving up: We must develop a firm desire to give up our stresses. This does not mean defeat, but is to throw off any tensions that turn us into a smoking volcano. This is a positive, relaxing and evolutionary process.
3. Giving in: A positive process of opening up to dictates of Higher Consciousness.
4. Giving over: The highest stage of relaxation where control of mind is given over to the Self. One thus merges into beautiful super-conscious states indescribable in words.
Conclusion: Swamiji taught us that ‘we’ are the source of our problems. If we are to solve them, we need to change our attitude. An egocentric perspective will never be able to change anything as all the ego wants to do is survive at any cost (Abhinivesha). The Yoga Dristi (perspective) offers a more elevated and conscious perspective of life that enables us to convert our seemingly insurmountable problems into mere molehills.

Qigong meditation is a form of mindfulness meditation that is rooted in Chinese medicine and philosophy. Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese exercise and healing technique that involves meditation, controlled breathing and movement exercises.
Qi is a concept from traditional Chinese culture that roughly means vital energy, information, breath or spirit. The second character in qigong, "gong," means cultivation or mastery, Wayne said. Qigong is therefore sometimes translated as "vital energy cultivation" or "mastery of your energy."
The practice involves slow, deliberate movements combined with breath work and focus on the present moment. Qigong meditation is said to improve mental and physical health, and has been used for centuries as a tool for relaxation, healing, and self-cultivation.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Qigong means Energy Cultivation
Qigong is a 4,000 year old Chinese Art of Healing by
aligning body, breath, and mind for optimum
well-being.
Qigong consists of thousands of exercises and
meditations to remove energy blockages and increase
harmonious energy flow.

I am in life.
I am one with life.”
Chunyi Lin (paraphrase)
Feeling connected and united with our deepest
core and with the larger whole of the universe is a
central principle of qigong.

eighty pounds and was expected to soon be dead.”

Qigong,” The Journal of Traditional Eastern Health and
Fitness Autumn 2013
9. Liu Guizhen went home and engaged in qigong
exercises taught to him by his uncle, Liu Duzhou.
“After 102 days Liu regained his health (and thirty
pounds). He returned to work. Surprised by his
unexpected recovery, Communist officials
wanted to know how this happened.”
10. “Eventually Uncle Liu Duzhou revealed the most
important ‘secret’ of qigong and how it
benefited a person’s health: By silently
repeating a phrase while focusing mental
awareness below the navel, brain activity was
slowed and the inner organs were
strengthened. Doing this improved mental and
physical well-being which consequently
prolonged life.”
11. During the Cultural Revolution in China,
Liu Guizhen was imprisoned for 11 years as
“The creator of the poisonous weed of qigong.”
12. “During the years of his imprisonment, under
the threat of torture, even death, he continued
to treat and teach qigong to his fellow prisoners.
His wife pleaded with him to stop. But he
refused, telling her: ‘The future will confirm our
work. One day the science we call ‘qigong’ will
be known and judged as a precious legacy and
treasure benefiting all humanity.’”
13. Liu Guizhen died at age 63, weakened by
long years of imprisonment. Today his
daughter, Liu Yafei, is the director of the
Beidaihe Qigong Hospital in China.
14. Is there scientific evidence that qigong
benefits physical and mental health?
15. Yes. There are hundreds of scientific studies that
show physical and mental health benefits from
qigong. There are about 40 RCTs (Randomized
Controlled Trials) that have been published in
major Western medical journals. However these
RCTs were generally small studies and further
research is needed.
This presentation will focus on actually doing
qigong exercises, rather than reviewing the
scientific literature.
A compilation of scientific abstracts on qigong is
included in the Reference List.
16. Qigong Exercise:
Self-applied Percussive Massage
Movement: Tap hands over the body.
Main Purpose: Vibrates the “dust”
loose.
Main Qigong Principle: Purge
stagnations to improve Qi flow and
health.

17. Qigong exercise:
Self-applied Acupressure Therapy
“Acupressure uses the fingers to press key healing
points. Acupressure releases tension, increases
circulation, reduces pain, opens energy blockages,
enables deep relaxation, and develops vibrant
health.” www.accupressure.com
Activity: DVD, Lee Holden, Qigong for Self-Healing
19. Shaking the Body
Recommended Time: 1-2 minutes, or many more
• Release tension by relaxing the muscles and other
tissues of the body. Open the joints, gently bounce
the organs, detoxify every cell.
Movement: Bounce up and down.
Main Purpose: Releases tension in every part of
the body.
Main Qigong Principle: Less thinking and more
being in your body leads to health.

20. Qigong Exercise: Shaking the Body
• To begin, stand in a shoulder-width stance.
• Bend at the knees to shake in an up-and down-
motion. Breathe freely and fully.
• The arms can be either hung loose or actively
shaken in concert with the rest of the body.
• Shake for a minute to several minutes.
• After shaking, be still to feel the increased blood
and Qi flow.

21. Qigong Exercises Cleanse and Detoxify
• Average number of cells that die in human body
each day: 50 to 70 billion.
• These dead cells and other metabolic waste
products need to be removed from the body
each day to avoid energy blockages and
stagnation of life force.
• Qigong exercises improve lymphatic drainage,
blood circulation, and waste removal.
22. Coherent Breathing
Slow, deep, gentle, breathing with the
diaphragm.
Breathe evenly, so the in-breath is the same
length as the out-breath.
Gradually slow breath rate to about 5 breaths
per minute.
23. Coherent Breathing
With the mouth closed, breathe in gently and
smoothly through the nose for about six seconds.
"It is not necessary to overfill your lungs," says Dr.
Patricia Gerbarg. "The breathing should be as
gentle as possible."
Breathe out just as gently and smoothly; there's
no need to "expel air forcefully" she says, also for
six seconds. Try an iPhone app, CD or MP3 to help
you keep the pace. (You can find examples
at coherence.com.) Use diaphragm to breathe.
Continue this pattern for five or 10 minutes or
more.

27. Glymphatic System
The glymphatic system is a
vast and intricate network
of tiny tubules in the brain
that was discovered by
scientists in August 2012.
The function of these tubules is
to clear waste products from the brain.
28. Glymphatic System
Brain's Drain: Neuroscientists Discover Cranial
Cleansing System
“The brain can be a messy place. Thankfully, it has
good plumbing: Scientists have just discovered a
cleansing river inside the brain, a fluid stream that
might be enlisted to flush away the buildup of
proteins associated with Alzheimer's, Huntington's
and other neurodegenerative disorders.”
Scientific American, August 15, 2012
29. Glymphatic System
There is no known connection between qigong
exercises and the glymphatic system. However,
the discovery of the glymphatic system raises
questions:
Is it possible that the active movements in
qigong stimulate fluid flow through the
glymphatic system?
Is it possible that increased fluid flow through
the glymphatic system would improve removal
of waste products?
30. Glymphatic System
Another question to consider:
Since the accumulation of cellular waste products in
the brain is associated with neurodegenerative
disorders, could the accumulation of cellular waste
products in the brain also be associated with other
problems, such as depression, irritability, or anxiety?

32. “Sitting is the New Smoking”
“Sitting increases your risk of death and disease,
even if you are getting plenty of physical activity.
It's a bit like smoking. Smoking is bad for you even
if you get lots of exercise. So is sitting too much.“
Runner’s World, Selene Yeager, July 2013
Qigong exercises can be done for one or two
minutes at frequent intervals through the day to
decrease health risks of prolonged sitting.
33. “Motion Starvation”
“We suffer from ‘Motion starvation.’ We do not
move nearly enough, and when we do move, we
do not use nearly all of our muscles. We were built
to be active.”
Pete Egoscue, Pain Free
Qigong exercises are an easy and enjoyable way to
help relieve “motion starvation.”
34. NEAT: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis
“While intense physical activity has a tremendous
health impact, a growing body of evidence suggests
that accumulating short bouts of low-intensity
physical activity throughout the day can also have
substantial health benefits, which may even rival
those associated with more vigorous sessions. This
low-intensity physical activity is known as non-
exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT.” Travis
Saunders
Many qigong movements are examples of NEAT and
extremely beneficial.
36. “Qigong is more than a set of exercises, it is an attitude
that works to restructure one’s perspective in life, leading
to balance and harmony with the world around us.”
G. Garripoli, Qigong: Essence of the Healing Dance
37. “No matter how hard the surfer is working, the
ocean is doing most of the work.”
C. Thomas
38. “According to the deepest view of the ancients in China
the essence of our being is irrevocably well and an
expression of the pure creative power of the universe.”
Roger Jahnke
Qigong is about trusting the flow of life, and
experiencing our connection with the universe.
