This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
People who have done the pranayam, have noticed lower PSA and better quality of life.There are no scientific trials or results to look at.Remember this is free, so no one else benefits. Pranayam is so simple but powerful enough to build the immune system to restore health naturally.The first few minutes of breathing relaxes the body and mind, and the real benefit to the body comes during the rest of the time you do the breathing, so the duration is very important.
In some countries people get free treatment but a lot of people around the world(and on this site) cannot even afford to get a PSA test, as they have to pay directly or indirectly via insurance.
People start with watchful waiting or active surveillance with strong determination to stay that way, but when the PSA rises, they are cornered by family and medical people, to make a choice of treatment . Doing pranayam helps to show you are doing something active to stay on the WW/AS path and continue life normally.
The fighter pranayam:
Bhastrika 5 minutes.
Kapalbhati 30 minutes twice a day.
Anulom Vilom 30 minutes twice a day
Bhramri 5 to 10 times
Do the fighter pranayam to lower PSA and reduce side effects.
The maintenance pranayam – once a day:
Bhastrika 2 to 5 minutes.
Kapalbhati 15-30 minutes
Anulom Vilom 15-30 minutes
Bhramri 5 to 10 times.
Do the maintenance pranayam for rest of life, once you are happy with the PSA level and general health.
If you are still not sure, do try the maintenance pranayam for 14 days and keep a note of anything you notice. You may then continue with the fighter pranayam and reap the benefits and maintain your quality of life.
"But...I really would like to know more about havafree.
Are you fighting cancer or are you in the medical or holistic medicine profession, or just keenly interested in ways to combat the disease?"
I won't make any further comments to my earlier ones about the content of his post, but I do think that havafree should tell us his own health status and answer George's very fair question.
