Pranic Healing and Ayurvedic Management of Cancer

Abstract

Cancer is the scariest disease known to man because it creeps in unnoticed to the deepest levels of the body where it may not be cured from. Diseases like cancer are deadly not only because of their own nature but also because of the side effects of techniques involved in their treatment. Healing based on energy exchange, energy channelization and energy intensification can effectively manage cancer; supported by plant-based medications that could replace chemically manufactured ones. This article throws light on Pranic healing, its relevance in the management of cancer, and some herbal medication combinations that could combat cancer.

Introduction to Pranic Healing

Healing refers to restoration of health and equilibrium within an individual, within a society or within the universe. Spiritual healing sounds like a ghost story in today’s world, but it wasn’t so in the ancient times. This is so because people were more aware of the subtle and invisible energies present around us all at all times. With the development of the society as a more physical and material luxury-oriented and less of mental and spiritual one, spiritual healing practices feel like supernatural incidents where only the one who has experienced it, believes it.

Thankfully with the spread of Yoga and Ayurveda around the globe, people have experienced that subtle bodily auras and sheaths do really exist, and this has developed people’s faith and interest in spiritualism recently.

Coming back to healing, healing is of many kinds; it could be distant healing, where the healer and the sick are away from each other and vibes are sent by the healer. It could be touch healing, where the healer hovers their hands above the sick’s body and may also touch it gently at points that need it.

Pranic healing works on the concept of prana, originating from the concept of subtle body sheaths. According to yoga anatomy and physiology, the body that we see is the physical body and contains within it many other layers that we cannot see with naked eye. The pranic body lies within the physical body and responds to whenever a spiritual person is somewhere in the vicinity of the body, however spiritually unaware the person may be. Prana is the mechanism working in pranic healing.

Pranic Healing

What is Prana?

Prana is the Sanskrit term for breath. But, like most upanishadic terms, prana also carries deeper meanings than that conveyed in its conversational use. Prana is the life force as conveyed by the Prashnopanishad; prana runs all the processes in the universe and prana created the universe out of itself. When in the beginning there was nothing, neither life nor death, neither truth nor the untrue, neither space nor the sky, neither the earth nor fire, even prana itself was not in manifest form; at that time when there was no value of time, then prana created this universe and each component that constitutes it. Pranic healing relies on this sole principle that prana is the unmanifest form of God and resides within each particle of the universe. Hence prana is the one that makes us alive, and prana can heal us.

Prana is energy. Ancient meditators and wise men have held prana in such a respectable position because prana actually has abilities to transform into just anything. This power of transformability of prana is used in pranic healing, where the healer gathers energy y going into a meditative state and transfers it to the sick so that their vitiated prana is rejuvenated and deteriorated health is restored.

Relevance of Pranic Healing in Cancer

Genetic and immune disorders are usually incurable and very heavy medications are used to treat them. In particular for cancer, the radiation used for destroying cancer cells is so potent that it also affects healthy cells adversely, giving rise to a plethora of side-effects, both long term and immediate. The mental factor in such diseases is crucial; especially during treatment. Therefore a relaxative approach should be followed in addition to natural medications instead of high dose chemical and radioactive ones.

Pranic healing does not only work at the core of the disease where it is originating, but also manages it via the more powerful gateway – that is the mental factor. People receiving Pranic healing have responded better to other treatment going on simultaneously. It has helped them stay calm and positive throughout the course of the treatment in more than a few aspects.

  • It strengthens one’s will power to live.
  • It relieves physical tension and fatigue developed deep inside the body.
  • It sorts out stressful thoughts that could hamper the body’s response towards treatment.
  • It channels dormant energy lying within the body.
  • It eradicates all malignant subtle physiological processes going on in the deeper levels of the body.

Cancer is as minute as the cells and so is Prana. Pranic healing therefore may not be visible to the eye but it definitely works. It is not so that one is healed because they believe, rather, one starts believing after they are healed.

Conclusion

Sometimes we fail to properly diagnose and treat diseases and label them as incurable or fatal; whereas sometimes changing the mode of treatment can show dramatic improvement in one’s condition especially when the disease originates at cellular level, and treatments employed are working only superficially. The point is that instead of relying on techniques that are too artificial and so intense that they have more side effects than benefits, more subtle healing techniques should be used as an integrated approach for treatment of cancer. Pranic healing has gained popularity because it has worked wonders in the treatment of multiple cancers. [1] Hopefully we can make use of Pranic healing in all autoimmune and incurable diseases.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis is a rare condition which is also known as multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. Some also named it as Von Recklinghausen’s disease. It is a genetic condition which may be inherited or can arise spontaneously. The main manifestation of the condition is bilateral development of benign brain tumors in nerve sheaths which usually involve the eighth cranial nerve (auditory vestibular nerve). This nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the inner ear to the brain. In this article we will discuss neurofibromatosis in detail which will include its cause, classification, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis. The treatment will involve explanation of both ayurvedic and modern medications.

Neurofibromatosis

Introduction

The condition is bizarre as it is rare. Neurofibromatosis is having two major features which includes

  1. Multiple neural tumors dispersed anywhere on or in the body
  2. Numerous pigmented skin lesions, some of which are ‘Cafe au lait’ (brown spots) spots.

A bewildering assortment of other abnormalities may accompany these cardinal features. While approximately 50% of the patients have a definite family history consistent with autosomal dominant transmission, about half the patients appear to represent new mutations, perhaps affecting the same gene or genes. Neurofibromas arise within or attached to nerve trunks anywhere in the skin, including the palms and soles, as well as in every conceivable internal site, including cranial nerve particularly the acoustic nerve.

Classification

There are two main classifications for this condition:

  1. Wishart Phenotype: It is characterized by multiple cerebral and spinal lesions. This is usually present in people younger than 20 years of age and has a rapid progression.
  2. Feiling Gardner Phenotype: They develop single central tumors with slow progression and appear after the age of 20 years.  

Causes

The only cause of this condition is gene mutation. The mutation is observed on chromosome 22 and also involves a protein called merlin. It is involved in cell shape and cell structure.

Pathogenesis

Neurofibromatosis is the result of a gene defect or usually gives rise to a product called merlin or schwannomin. Merlin is located on chromosome 22. In initial studies, Merlin was described as a structural protein that behaves as a cytoskeleton regulator. But later its tumor suppressant role was described. It regulates multiple proliferating signaling cascades that inhibit the invasion of tumors.

Characteristics of Neurofibromas

  1. On the surface of the body they generally occur in profusion and range from discrete, soft, yielding, subcutaneous nodules less than 1 cm in diameter to moderate size pedunculated masses, 20 or more centimeters in greatest diameter.
  2. Similar Tumors may occur internally and in general the deeply situated lesions tend to be large.
  3. If grossly examined the neurofibromas vary from spherical to cylindrical to beaded, sometimes tortuous masses. They may or may not be encapsulated.
  4. This also tends to show transformation to malignant neurofibromas in about 10-15% cases.
  5. Malignant transformation is most common in the very large tumors attached to large nerve trunks of the neck or extremities. The superficial lesions despite their size rarely become malignant.

Symptoms of Neurofibromatosis

  1. Varying size of neurofibromas.
  2. Cutaneous pigmentations, is the second major component of this syndrome, and are present in over 90% of patients. They commonly appear as light brown ‘cafe au lait’ macules, with generally smooth borders often located overlying nerve trunks.
  3. Their shape is generally round to ovoid, with their long axes parallel to the underlying cutaneous nerve.
  4. Clinically if more than five cafe au lait spots are present over the patient’s body he or she is likely to have neurofibromatosis.
  5. Hearing loss can also be noticed.

Associated Abnormalities

These are common in around 30 -50% of the population having neurofibromatosis.

  1. Erosive defects due to contiguity of neurofibromas to bones.
  2. Scoliosis
  3. Intraosseous cystic lesions
  4. Sub periosteal bone cysts
  5. Pseudoarthrosis of the tibia

Diagnosis

History

Family history of such condition. There are three sets of diagnosis given by Ferner:

  1. Unilateral vestibular schwannomas or Bilateral vestibular schwannomas associated with meningioma, glioma, neurofibroma.
  2. Unilateral VS with any two of meningioma, glioma, neurofibroma.
  3. Two or more meningioma plus U/L vestibular schwannomas.

Treatment

Surgery is the primary approach in such cases and the commonest approach for vestibular schwannomas. Bevacizumab is known to reduce the tumor growth rates. It also helps in hearing improvements.
