Managing and suppressing the manifest symptoms with Yoga techniques is just as good or bad as modern allopathic medicine that focuses primarily on symptomatic management without ever getting close to the real cause of most disorders. In this talk, Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani will explore the need to address the primary cause of the problem followed by symptomatic management without which it could merely be Yogopathy.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a 15th century text that outlines a system of Hatha yoga. It describes practices including asanas, pranayama, mudras, and bandhas that aim to purify the physical body in order to attain higher states of consciousness. The text outlines 84 asanas and discusses practices like shatkarmas, pranayamas including kumbhaka, and mudras and bandhas. It describes the goal of Hatha yoga as creating balance in the body, prana, and mind to awaken higher consciousness and prepare the practitioner for deeper yogic practices like Raja, Kundalini, and Kriya yoga.
Fasting provides several health benefits by allowing the body to purge toxins and waste. It is considered a natural healing method in many religious traditions. During a fast, the body shifts into a state of autophagy where it breaks down and eliminates diseased or damaged cells. Some key benefits include detoxification, reduced inflammation, weight loss, and improved immune function. Fasting should be done cautiously and is not recommended for certain medical conditions like diabetes or advanced tuberculosis. When done correctly, it can help treat many ailments and support overall wellness and longevity.
The document discusses the importance of diet according to Ayurveda and yoga. It states that diet is the first of the three pillars of health and plays a role in sustaining the body and mind, growth and development, disease prevention and treatment.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation technique from India involving conscious relaxation. It guides the practitioner through a series of body scans and visualizations while maintaining awareness to induce relaxation. Research has found Yoga Nidra practice to be associated with increased alpha and theta brain waves, decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex, and dopamine release in the brain similar to NREM sleep. Studies have also shown benefits of Yoga Nidra for reducing stress, anxiety, depression and improving sleep, memory, and self-awareness. Long-term practice has been demonstrated to positively impact physical and mental health.
The document discusses the integrated approach of yoga therapy according to Dr. Shamanthakamani Narendran. It discusses the concepts of health, disease, and the body according to modern science and ancient yogic texts. It explains that stress born illnesses originate from imbalances in the subtle sheaths (kosas) of the body starting from the mental sheath (manomaya kosa) and can manifest physically. Yoga helps reduce stress and bring balance to the kosas through techniques like asanas, pranayama, meditation and kriyas.
The document discusses innate healing from philosophical, physiological, cellular, and psychological perspectives.
Physiologically, innate healing is known as innate immunity, which includes physical barriers like skin, mucous membranes, and cilia. The innate immune system also contains cells and proteins that fight pathogens.
Cellular aspects of innate healing involve phagocytosis, inflammation, cellular adaptation, and cell death. These processes help clear pathogens and promote healing.
Psychologically, the mind employs defense mechanisms unconsciously to reduce anxiety and maintain homeostasis. Innate healing aims to reconnect the body with its inherent self-healing abilities.
Naturopathy is based on the principle of using natural methods like water, air, light, heat and diet to treat disease without drugs. It views the body as inherently self-healing and aims to support this through lifestyle practices and eliminating toxins. The document outlines several foundational principles of naturopathy including the unity of disease and cure, the foreign matter theory of disease, and the toxemia theory. It also discusses the five elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether - that make up the human body according to naturopathic philosophy. Overall naturopathy focuses on living harmoniously with nature to support physical, mental and spiritual health.
Naturopathy places primary importance on diet. It believes that accumulation of morbid matter in the digestive system is the root cause of most diseases, and that cleansing the system through fasting can eliminate this morbid matter. Diet is classified into eliminative, soothing, and constructive phases to cleanse, soothe, and rebuild the body. Foods are also classified as producing acidic or alkaline ashes, and the diet should consist of 80% alkaline-forming foods to prevent acidosis. Personality and health are influenced by the tamasic, rajasic, or sattvic qualities of one's diet.
This document discusses yoga as a way of life and method for reducing stress and treating psychosomatic disorders. It defines yoga as a five-fold awareness of the body, emotions, mind, awareness itself, and our lack of awareness. Various yoga practices are described that can help reduce stress, including breathing techniques, visualization, awareness, and asana (yoga poses). The document outlines four phases of psychosomatic disorders and how yoga can be an effective therapy, especially in the early psychic and psychosomatic phases. Basic yoga warm up practices like twists and rotations are explained. Pranayama techniques including Om Pranayama and Pranava Pranayama are also summarized.
This document describes the Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT), a yoga practice involving the chanting of mantras. It begins by explaining key concepts like the nature of mind and sound according to modern science and yoga philosophy. It then outlines the specific steps of MSRT, which include chanting mantras aloud and mentally while focusing on different locations in the body. The document discusses concepts important to MSRT like resonance, the differences between external and internal sounds, and the significance of silence and resolution. Overall, the document provides an overview of MSRT as a yoga technique that uses mantras and resonance to improve awareness and access deeper levels of silence.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
