Cancer Cure by Yoga

The Mother once said that there is hardly a disease that cannot be cured by Yoga. Can cancer be cured by it?

Of course it can, but on condition of faith or openness or both. Even a mental suggestion can cure cancer – with luck of course, as is shown by the case of the woman operated on unsuccessfully for cancer, but the doctors lied and told her it had succeeded. Result, cancer symptoms all ceased and she died many years afterwards of another illness altogether.
