Introduction:
Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease:
The liver is the second largest organ of the body situated on
the right-hand side of the human abdomen. The main function
of the liver is to absorb, digest and process the food that is
consumed and convert the nutrients in the food into energy. It
is also responsible for producing the digestive juice called
bile. Additionally, it helps in removal of toxic and waste
matter from the blood so that the immune system is not
affected.[1]
Fig 1: Human Liver (Picture source: www.webmd.com)
Fatty Liver is a common condition wherein excess fat is stored
in the liver increasing the normal weight of the liver.
The accumulation of fat in the liver as a result of heavy
drinking is called as Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD).
The liver in this case, becomes fat as it breaks down and takes
extra burden of removal of wastes accumulated due to heavy
drinking. If this is not done completely by the liver, it may
cause inflammation and result in other serious problems.
Hence, more a person drinks alcohol, more is the damage done
to the liver.
In case of a person who is not alcoholic or does not have any
history of using alcohol, the person can still get diagnosed
with fatty liver due to diet, lifestyle conditions, inability of the
body to metabolise fat properly and easily, stress etc. This can
lead to excessive storage of fat in the liver causing Non-
Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Usually, NAFLD is
a silent disease which shows no serious symptoms but needs
attention else it can lead to chronic liver ailments. [2]
The risk factors involved in getting diagnosed with NAFLD
include overweight, presence of high sugar or diabetes, high
cholesterol, high triglycerides in the body, inability of the
Clinical Medicine and Health Research Journal, (CMHRJ)
184 www.cmhrj.com
body to break down fats easily or anyone having metabolic
syndrome, old age, person having PCOS, etc. If not treated at
the right time, NAFLD can lead to Steatohepatitis, that is
excessive storage of fat leading to inflammation, liver fibrosis
or irreversible liver cirrhosis. [3]
NAFLD being a silent disease, does not show any symptoms.
Mild symptoms can include feeling of tiredness or frequent
fatigue and pain the upper right part of the abdomen. An
ultrasound or a CT scan test report or a MRI scan can help
detect a fatty liver case. [4]
Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV):
Yoga Prana Vidya is a no touch, no drug energy healing
therapy which used energy or prana to cure any physical or
psychological ailments. YPV is integrated and holistic in
nature as it promotes not only energy healing to cure ailments
but also includes physical exercises, breathing exercises,
forgiveness sadhana, meditation techniques, right diet, intake
of sufficient amount of water etc. for the overall health of a
person at physical, emotional and mental levels. In energy
healing techniques, the healer removes the diseased, dirty and
used up energy from the affected part or the whole body of a
person and fills it up with fresh energy. Energy healing is
based on the fundamental that the physical body has the ability
to normalise itself as it has consciousness of its own, and the
rate at which it recovers depends on the quality, density and
size of the energy body. This can be done even at a distance as
the healer need not necessarily be present in front of the
patient to receive the healing energies. The energy body of a
person has many major and minor chakrams and each major
chakram controls some part or system of the body and also has
effect on the whole body. In case a person is detected with
some physical ailment or is going through any psychological
problems, the corresponding chakram associated with that
system or part of the body or condition also indicates
malfunction. The energy healer uses the energy healing
techniques of cleaning and energizing, to make these energy
centres or chakrams balanced to function properly. In this
way, many diseases can be cured if the chakrams of the energy
body are healed and sustained.
Published research articles in the literature show that YPV
healing techniques have been applied to successfully heal
various ailments like Dislocation of knee cap [5], Hodgkin
lymphoma cancer [6], Nephrotic Syndrome [7], Epilepticus
[8], Snake bite [9], Urinary Fistula [10], Hyperthyroidism
[11], High Cervical disc prolapse [12], Cholesterol and asthma
[13], Exostosis of ear [14], Heart Block [15], Diabetes [16],
Eye issues [17] and many other difficult medical cases. [18]
Chakrams controlling the gastrointestinal system of the
body:
Fig 2. shows the major energy centres or chakrams.
Fig 2. Chakrams or energy centres
The gastrointestinal system is controlled majorly by the front
solar plexus, back solar plexus and the navel chakram. The
ajna chakram is also important as it controls the pituitary
gland and all the endocrine glands. The basic chakram is
important for the purpose of healing as it controls the tissues
and the organs of the body. The liver organ additionally has 3
minor chakrams: the upper right liver minor chakram, the
lower right liver minor chakram and the upper left liver minor
chakram. Application of Yoga Prana Vidya Level 3 protocol is
also very important for the treatment of NAFLD as it treats the
emotional and mental aspects including those related to the
liver organ and the fatty liver disease.
This paper presents a case of a patient diagnosed with non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who was healed
successfully using Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system of
Healing protocols without the use of any medicines.
Case Report
Patient’s background
The patient is a 58-year-old married business man residing in
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and having two children.
Pre-YPV Medical History
The patient was diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver
Disease on the 10th February 2020 (Report in Annexure 1) and
had no family history of NAFLD. The patient had gone
through a gall bladder removal surgery in the past due to
presence of multiple gall bladder stones. The patient used to
complain frequent tiredness and slight visible abdominal
enlargement. The patient consulted a family medical doctor
and, as advised, obtained an ultrasound sonography report
which showed fatty liver. The patient then approached Yoga
Prana Vidya energy healers for energy healing to cure his liver
ailment while opting not to use any medication.
YPV Intervention
YPV healing protocols used by the healers in this case were:
1. L3 healing-Standard psychotherapy. In addition to this,
Level 2 healing techniques were applied especially for front
solar plexus chakram, back solar plexus chakram, Navel
chakram and the liver organ.
2. One healing of 20 minutes duration was given daily for 2
months
Clinical Medicine and Health Research Journal, (CMHRJ)
185 www.cmhrj.com
Results
After 2 months of continuous healings daily, the patient
reported no tiredness or visible abdominal bulge. He also
changed his diet plan slightly which did not include the intake
of fatty foods especially after evenings. Hence after 2 months
of healings, the patient asked the healers to stop further
healings.
Due to the Covid pandemic and lockdown conditions, the
patient could not manage to go for a lab test immediately, but
underwent an ultrasound sonography after about a year, i.e.,
on the 14th September 2020, to check the state of the liver. The
report (Annexure 2) showed normal liver condition. The
progression of the liver condition is explained in table 1
below.
As a follow up action, the patient undertook another
ultrasound sonography test after about 1-1/2 years from
diagnosis, and the report (Annexure 3) confirmed normal liver
(See Table 1). The patient confirmed that he did not go
through any medicinal help or surgery during these 1-1/2
years.

reports

Hence, this shows that Yoga Prana Vidya energy healing
techniques can be successfully be used for the treatment of
Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and it also gives
consistent results even after the healings are discontinued. It is
also important for the person to focus on the intake of right
diet and into right livelihood for a stress-free and a balanced
lifestyle.
Discussion
There are several ways of treating Fatty liver. The most
common suggestion given to the person having fatty liver is to
lose weight. Weight loss helps in reducing the fat stored in the
liver. If the weight of a person is within the normal range, then
several dietary changes or intake of more fruits is
recommended [19]. However, this is not a long term or a
sustained solution for treating the ailment. Hence, Yoga Prana
Vidya energy healing and other techniques can be a better
option for treating fatty liver without the intake of drugs and
the solution can be sustained as seen in case of this patient.
A study by Kumar and Padaki revealed that CAM
(Complementary and Alternative Medicine) use, such as
Homeopathy, Herbal medicine, and Ayurveda, is prevalent
among Indian adults with liver disease. Many patients do not
disclose their CAM use to healthcare providers.[20].
Conclusion
In this case of NAFLD Yoga Prana Vidya system has been
found to be an effective healing tool to treat the condition due
to its underlying advantages of being a no-touch no-drug
therapy which had also been applied distantly. Such a
technique which can be distantly applied, is immensely helpful
in treating any physical or psychological ailments especially
during the lockdown or pandemic situations. It is
recommended that healthcare professionals including learn
and practice YPV integrated techniques to complement their
medical disciplines for holistic treatment of patients and also
help themselves. Further research may be explored on this
topic using YPV techniques on a wider scale using appropriate
methodologies and samples.

Introduction: An anal fissure manifests as a painful longitudinal tear in the anoderm distal to the dentate line with symptoms of pain during defecation, rectal bleeding, tremendous emotional stress, and declined quality of life. Anal fissures are found more frequently in women. Several treatment options are available with or without medication and/or surgery. This paper presents 4 cases of patients affected by anal fissures healed by one healer and cured successfully by the application of Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing protocols as alternative medicine. Method: This paper uses the case study method by collecting medical data from the 4 patients (3 female and 1 male), YPV healer’s records, and patient feedback. Results: Patient in case 1 became normal after 37 healing sessions of 20 minutes each in 1 ½ months of YPV healing. The patient in case 2 became normal after 25 sessions of 20 minutes of YPV healing conducted in 17 days. The patient in case 3 became normal after 35 sessions of 20 minutes each within a period of about 7 weeks of healing. The patient in case 4 became normal after 10 sessions of 20 minutes of healing within 11 days. Conclusions: This paper presented multiple cases of anal fissures suffered by patients over many years that have been cured successfully by the application of the integrated and holistic system of Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing protocols. Further research is recommended. Recommendations include training Healthcare workers for applying YPV techniques complementary to their respective professions for treating patients holistically and as a preventive modality boosting immunity.

Abstract Introduction: Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system based on ancient yogic practices, is an integrated approach known from experience to heal diverse human diseases and sicknesses holistically. This case study presents the outcomes of vision improvements of participants through Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing techniques by conducting a two-week eye healing camp at Bangarpet, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: This is a case study method going into details of how the YPV eye camp was conducted. The YPV team collaborated with eye doctors of the local Government hospitals who screened and helped to identify a sample of 27eye patients. YPV healers performed healing daily on each patient. In addition, the patients were trained to practice some YPV techniques on daily basis. Patient feedback reports were also taken at the end of the intervention. Results: After receiving healing, vision improved for 23 participants from 80% to 100% within 5 to 10 days of healing. Seven of them could read without spectacles. However, for one patient cylindrical and spherical values were found to be higher than at intake, which needed further investigations. Three participants could not participate fully in the camp and discontinued for personal reasons. Conclusion: It is observed that the YPV process caused other positive effects also besides improvements in vision for most of them, indicating the holistic nature of YPV healing. Participants who regularly attended forgiveness prayer and breathing exercises had better results. A participant who had been suffering from insomnia reported getting quality deep sleep.

: Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the nervous system and affects people of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds, and seen more commonly in children. Atypical febrile seizure with Status epilepticus is a disorder known for significant morbidity and mortality. Despite newer antiepileptic drugs, 30 % of subjects are refractory to the conventional treatment with a risk of recurrence and neuro-developmental disorder. This paper presents one such case of a child handled successfully by Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) Energy healing complementarily to conventional therapy. This is a prospective case study of a 2-month-old infant, an emergency case of atypical febrile seizures with status epilepticus, where YPV Healing intervention was done from the beginning while admitting doctors had given a guarded prognosis. This case study reports the normal physical, mental & psychological development of the subject following YPV Healing with 3-year follow up, and the subject was observed to be normal without any recurrence of the disease or neuro-developmental abnormality. : Although the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been evaluated globally, there are few studies available on the use of Energy healing in various ailments. YPV Healing has been emerging as an effective modality of treatment for various physical, psychological ailments without any side effects. It can be effectively used from distance even without physically examining the subject. It has been used as a complementary or alternative modality of treatment in some severe life-threatening emergency conditions, and further studies may be conducted with appropriate sample sizes.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: CVJ (Craniovertebral junction) anomalies are rare but cause troublesome health issues for patients. Complex surgical procedure or conservative management of this condition is the usual medical solution. This case study documents the process and effective outcome of Yoga Prana Vidya Healing as an alternative conservative treatment. Prior medical investigations: A 54 year old Patient with severe debilitating painconsulted a neurosurgeon and a spine surgeon. CT scan and MRI scan revealed CVJ anomalies such as C1 - C2 fusion with Os –odontoideum, cervical disc prolapse with narrowing of foramen magnum without any neurological deficit, but associated with debilitating sub-occipital cervical spasmodic pain, causing limitation of movements of Head & Neck. Therapeutic intervention: The patient tried the Yoga Prana Vidya system which include physical exercises, breathing exercise, planetary peace meditation and advanced YPV healing techniques. Only local analgesic spray and limited systematic pain killers were used. Result: The YPV therapy made her asymptomatic within 10-15 days, the severity of pain reduced after one week, spasm of the neck muscle reduced gradually between 2nd and 3rd months. She regained complete relaxation, painless free movement of head and neck within 3 months. Conclusion: YPV healing therapy worked effectively for controlling the pain associated with torticollis and sub-occipital headache in CVJ abnormalities, and restore the normal movements of the Neck and Head without using conventional analgesic and traction therapy. CVJ anomalies can be safely managed conservatively by the yoga prana Vidya (YPV) therapy.
Poster
Background and Aims: Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is not well characterized among Indian patients with liver dis- eases. We did a hospital-based patient interview survey about CAM usage in patients with liver disease. Methods: We interviewed adult patients attending hepatology OPD at AIG hospitals using a specific CAM questionnaire. CAM questionnaire contained 50 questions about the patient demography, etiology, and severity of the liver disease, CAM- related questions like source, type, specific instructions, administration, dosage, and effect on disease status. Results: Of the 300 adults with liver disease, 46 % (n= 140) reported using of CAM during an interview after the onset of illness. The most common etiology of liver disease was chronic hepatitis B in 39% followed by alcohol-related liver disease in 27%, chronic hepatitis C in 13 %, fatty liver in 11% and Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in 11%. The most common modality was Homeopa- thy (37%) followed by herbal medicine (30%), Ayurveda (28.5%) and naturopathy in 4%. The physical characteristics of CAM include tablet (43%), Liquid form (25%), Herbal (18%), and powder form in 13.5% of patients. The vehicle for CAM consumption was water in 58.5%, Milk in 8% and without a vehicle in 33.5% of patients. 37.1% of patients took CAM in fasting, 29 % without fasting, and 35% took before and after fasting. Complete symptomatic improvement reported in 15%, partial recovery in 14%, no recovery in 50% and worsening of symptoms reported in 21%. Conclusions: CAM use, particularly Homeopathy, Herbal medicine, and Ayurveda, is prevalent among Indian adults with liver disease. Many patients do not disclose their CAM use to health care providers, despite some using potentially hepatotoxic substances.
