Yoga, meditation and practices like Falun Gong probably help improving the body's immunity and enhancing natural killer cell activity. But this is extremely difficult to prove by research , firstly because there is no financial profit in funding such research ,secondly its very hard to standardize these techniques for a large group .

Mind related interventions can be like another complementary therapy alongside standard of care treatments.

More research is needed to find out how these mind related techniques work in enhancing body's defenses against cancer.

Until then, its not possible to recommend them by medical professionals.

Thanks a lot! For sure I meant to add it as a combination to standard of care, which can probably prolong OS. There was a study like this: expandourmind.com/2016/08/2...

However looks like fake news

I practice meditation and yoga. I am not sure what the difference between two is or if I could claim that it has improved my longevity. I'll have to research the difference.

That aside, I do recommend meditation and use it as a form of guided imaging to reduce stress and fight disease on a mind-body level.

Yoga is a word from Ancient Indian language.. Sanskrit..

Yoga means "the sum total" Yoga includes physical postures as well as meditation techniques.

Now, United Nations has a dept of Yoga and 190 nations are members of the Yoga dept of UNO.

Physical postures of Yoga makes muscles flexible and nervous system more resilient. Meditation is a division of Yoga.

There are two major classes of Meditation, First, Active meditation which includes dancing ,whirling, cathartic techniques...etc .And second one includes passive meditation which includes mindfulness, focusing on breathing and attune to central part of forehead.

There are total 108 types of meditation methods and each person needs to find his/her specific method which he/she finds most likeable.

Ancient civilizations like India , China etc. worked on mind for many centuries as they evolved and now, western countries are finding secrets of such mind enhancing techniques which have potential to increase body's defenses and make immune system strong to ward of diseases.

I practice Qigong and have energy healing from a medical Qigong master who helps cancer patients in a charity hospital in Penang Malaysia -I view this type of treatment as complementary to traditional treatment -I am a 14 year survivor of metastatic disease

This is Qigong which is premised on the the existence of a yet to be verified force of physics called chi.

The Great Randy for a number of years had an outstanding reward of $1M to anyone who could prove the existence of Chi.

That's pretty good funding. No one ever collected it.

I have been a Tai Chi player for over 40 years. I can do tricks that appear to violate the known laws of physics. They don't.

Mystical Chi, is just a myth. Mythical cancer treatments kill.

Ohhh, one of my Tai Chi masters, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine died of cancer at age 43.

I understand that they're considering Falun gong and tsigun as a future Olympic sport.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
