Dear Rob and CML group
I am a long time member - first joined in Sept 1998 after being diagnosed
with CML in June 1998. I was on interferon and ara-c for 3 years and
failing when I was accepted into a trial for gleevec in 2001. I am happy to
report I am doing very well now. Of course I attribute a lot to the support
of my family and gleevec, but I must mention that practicing yoga has made
an incredible difference for me. I started doing therapeutic Iyengar yoga
in 1999 when I was in so much pain I didn't want to move an eyelash. I knew
that I needed to move so I went to a yoga class. The yoga centre was a
teaching centre and dealt with many chronic illnesses. I was put in a
special class and spent a lot of time inverted. (They had me doing
headstands and handstands when I could barely walk). When I first started
gleevec I had tremendous bone pain in my legs and hips. It was so bad (and
no pain killers touched the pain) that I nearly stopped gleevec. The only
thing that gave me some relief was going up-side-down! I am very much
intrigued by the post "Yoga against Chronic Myeloid Leukemia". I know that
there is no "scientific evidence" at this time, but I have experienced its
amazing benefits.
Gradually yoga is being recognized by the medical community and research
is being done on the benefits of yoga.
The Yoga Centre I attend (and have finished 3 years in a Teacher Training
program) is involved in a scientific study with Harvard in compiling data on
the affects of yoga on cardiac patients. As part of my "giving back" I work
with MS students and I see how much yoga makes a difference in their life.
If anyone is contemplating trying yoga I highly recommend it!
Sincerely
Sylvia Guenther

This does not sound like it is based on any scientific information but is
interesting.
