'Popping pills is easier and better than Yoga'

Popping pills is easier and better than Yoga

Marcey (63.176.159.241) -

In the New York Times on December 14, 2005, they had an article "Chronically Ill Patients Turn to Yoga for Relief"

To quote from the article

-------------------------

"It gives some people peace of mind or makes them feel better," said Dr. Robert Baratz, a dentist and a physician in Braintree, Mass., who is the president of the National Council Against Health Fraud. "But there's no medical or plausible mechanism by which it affects the disease process."

There is a danger, he said, in giving patients the impression that a practice like yoga could somehow cure their illness.

A few prescription drugs sure beat standing still for two hours. What do you Yoga Masters have to say about that?
