Introduction Gastroesophageal Malignancy
Esophageal malignancy is one of the common cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (GI). According to World Health Organization Globocan 2020 statistics for India, esophageal cancer is the 5th most common cancer with incidence of 6.2% in males. [1] The male to female ratio in India is 2.4:1. [2] Multidisciplinary care and treatment remain at the core of treating gastric cancer. Such treatment relies upon an effective multidisciplinary network including surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists; gastroenterologists; pathologists; radiologists (for interventional and nuclear medicine); nurse specialists, and palliative care physicians. It is highly recommended that all new cases should be discussed and treatment strategy to be confirmed at the multidisciplinary team meetings. In most patients with localised disease, resection will be the treatment of choice, and adjuvant chemotherapy or CRT following resection will be considered on the basis of the histopathology. More commonly, in India, Patients present with locally advanced disease (evident on imaging). According to an ICMR document of 2014, in these cases, the use of pre-operative chemotherapy should be considered. [3] Supportive care is recommended to provide support at all stages of a person's experience with cancer. The primary aim of treatment is to bring about symptomatic benefit and improvement in the quality of life of patients with incurable malignancies and support patients while receiving chemotherapy. Common problems encountered by patients with gastric cancer include: pain, nausea and vomiting, poor appetite, bowel obstruction, anxiety, emotional distress, or depression, chemotherapy-related toxicities, nutritional depletion, the optimal control of which often requires input from specialist teams [3] Primary prevention of gastric cancer focuses on the modifiable risk factors for gastric cancer. Strategies that have been evaluated include eradication of H. pylori infection and dietary/lifestyle interventions. Eradication of H. pylori www.cmhrj.com prevents the development of pre-neoplastic changes of the gastric mucosa (Level 1B, recommendation grade A) and has the potential to reduce the risk of gastric cancer development (Level 1C, recommendation grade B 12). A population 'test and treat' strategy for H. pylori infection in communities with a high incidence of gastric cancer can be considered for gastric cancer prevention (Level 2A, recommendation grade B). Improvement of public health, community sanitation, and hygiene can also be a preventive strategy to reduce the burden of H. pylori in the population. Dietary interventions include increased intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, which can ensure adequate vitamin C and dietary fibre, and avoidance of increased salt intake. Tobacco and alcohol consumption are other risk factors that can be targeted by lifestyle modifications. Secondary prevention mainly involves screening of high-risk populations using endoscopy with targeted biopsies. [3] Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System YPV system is integrative and holistic in approach, and evidence gathered from experience shows that it is successfully applied as complementary and alternative medicine for a wide range of illnesses. YPV consists of three aspectsone is a set of self-practice modules the patients have to practice, while the second aspect is energy healing which is given to the patient by a trained healer, or alternatively, the patient can perform self-healing after learning healing techniques from qualified YPV trainers. The third aspect of YPV is saltless, balanced and controlled diet including fruit diet and raw diet to help the physical body to be healthy and to maintain its metabolism with sufficient energy levels. It is known from ancient texts that human existence has a physical body and also an energy body or pranamaya kosha, interpenetrating and surrounding the contour of the physical body. The energy body is also known as bio-plasmic body, known as Aura. This energy is stated as 'Prana' or 'life force' in ancient texts. The energy body contains a mechanism with Chakrams (wheels) and Nadis (channels) for receiving and distributing Pranic energy to the physical body, which is available abundantly in nature. In YPV practice the main chakrams addressed are eleven, and also some minor chakrams are addressed as needed (see Figure 1). Energy Healing implies, cleansing the chakrams and body parts having dirty or used up energy, and energising the chakrams and body parts with fresh Pranic energy by the healer acting as a channel (See figure 2). A disturbance in the energy body affects the physical body and vice versa. An illness strikes the energy body at first and it affects the corresponding physical body part/s. Diagrammatic representation of energy body of a healthy person and a sick person are given in Figures 3 and 4 respectively, and the differences are noticeable. A trained healer can scan a Chakram with sensitised hands to check the condition whether it is weak or strong, which in turn correlates with the clinical condition of the patient. Literature shows there are more than 50 publications of research articles on successful applications of YPV healing of human patients. It is noted that published successful case reports include, treatment of difficult medical cases [4], Diabetes management & control [5], removing arterial block in heart without surgery [6], vision improvements for participants of an Eye Camp [7], improvements in holistic wellbeing and immunity of participants in a one-month YPV intensive programme [8], Role of Yoga Prana Vidya in first aid and emergency [9], speedy recovery of COVID patients [10], treatment of hypothyroidism [11], Lowering academic anxiety and enhancing academic performance of high school www.cmhrj.com children [12], saving life of a snake-bitten human female [13], improvements in the cognitive abilities and social behaviour of mentally challenged children [14], managing the pain and side effects of a Hodgkin Lymphoma patient undergoing chemotherapy [15], healing treatment of a female patient suffering from kneecap dislocation [16]. A review of published literature shows some experimental studies also conducted with successful outcomes such as improvements in the ellbeing of prisoners [17], significant reduction in anxiety and depression in corporate employees [18], De-addiction cases [19], and a case of breast cancer successfully treated [20]. This paper presents a case of Gastroesophageal malignancy treated successfully using Yoga Prana Vidya System protocols as complementary medicine.

Method
This paper uses case study method of analysing case details going through patient's medical history, lab reports, YPV healer's records and patient feedback.

Patient information
A female aged 52, a home maker and resident of central India.

Pre-YPV medical condition
Starting from November 2021 and till 1 st Week of December 2021, the patient was unable to swallow food, feeling restricted in the throat. She threw back whatever solid foods she was eating. Even home food like chapati and vegetables she could not eat. She managed swallowing using water and preferred only semi solid foods. She had frequent stomach aches and throat aches. There was considerable loss of energy and weight as well. She started vomiting and weight loss was more than 5 kgs in this span. All these symptoms continued, and also, she started having chest pain which was caused by severe gastric irritation. It was after chest pain that the family members took her for medical intervention with tests. Doctors diagnosed her condition to be dysphagia and asked PET CT scan for detailed investigation of her condition. A PET CT Scan test was taken on 10-12-2021 (Annexure 1) and the findings were suggestive of FDG avid asymmetric circumferential wall thickening involving the gastroesophageal junction and cardia of stomach closely abutting the descending thoracic aortiaa likely benign tumour or cancer, of primary neoplastic etiology with gastrohepatic lymph nodal metastases. After knowing the medical test reports, the patient was seriously concerned about her condition leading to emotional fears and depressive thoughts. Following the diagnosis, chemotherapy was started for the patient. She was put on liquid diet as advised by her doctor and she was on bedrest for some time due to weakness.

YPV intervention
The patient's niece approached a YPV healer for rendering YPV healings while simultaneously the patient started undergoing chemotherapy. Healings were given on continuous basis from December 14, 2021 to 30 march 2022 (approx. 3 months) and regular feedbacks were shared on everyday basis. Two healing sessions of 20 minutes each were conducted every day.

Due to chemotherapy during the 1 st week, she had burning sensations in the body inside and outside, developed chest pain and also had loose motions continuously. She had issues in swallowing and had throat pain and she was continued on complete liquid diet. As a result of daily healings, she was relieved of loose motion and stomach pain. Her chest pain and throat pain also reduced to some extent. During the 2nd week, the YPV healings helped and relieved her of stomach and chest pain due to gastric irritation, though some throat pain persisted. During the 3 rd week, she was relieved of back pain and other body pains through healings given. She was feeling some weakness in body. She started taking semi solid diet. During the 4 th week she was experiencing some gastric problems and back pain and had too much of weakness. However, the pains reduced due to the healings given. She started eating solid food and her throat and gastric system accepted the normal solid food. Emotionally she was feeling better and more confident about the progress she was making. During the 5 th week, 2nd chemotherapy was done. She experienced burning sensation in chest and in body, and also felt uneasy in entire body. The healings continued and her back pain and stomach pain reduced. Throat issues (inability to swallow food) and Gastric issues were also relieved. Plus, during the 6 th week her weakness reduced and she started doing her normal household routine with sufficient rest. Her overall condition improved. By the end of the 7th week, gastric irritation eliminated completely, and the patient was relieved of stomach pain and back pain. Body strength improved, throat pain reduced, no burning sensation and she continued eating normal food but also with some semi solid food. During the 8th week, she did not have any pain and was able to eat and swallow normal home food. She started to feel better and confident, her body weight also started regaining.

Results
After about 2 months of healings (on 18 Feb 2022) her new PETCT scan reports (Annexure 2) revealed normal and positive with no sign of cancer. Then onwards, the healings were reduced for the next 15 days. After that, further radiation treatment was given by the doctor during March 2022, and accordingly the healings were continued for one more month. After a two month follow up during May, 2022, the patient was found in much better condition and confident. She regained body weight and maintained it. She was taking normal diet. There was no pain or repulsiveness. She continued with regular YPV breathing and forgiveness Sadhana.

Discussion
Esophageal carcinoma is a disease with poor prognosis and most of the patients present with unresectable or metastatic disease. In most of the cases, modification of lifestyle with avoidance of addictions may be an attractive strategy in the prevention of this dreaded and mostly incurable disease. A nationwide campaign is required to generate public awareness about this dreaded disease along with identifying the high-risk population. [2] Published literature shows that YPV healings in the past achieved complete relief to patients, without using drugs, to complementarily treat cancer cases such as Hodgkin Lymphoma [15] and breast cancer [20] in reducing pain and other side effects of chemotherapy treatment, besides reducing fear, anxiety and mental stress.

Conclusion
YPV healing system has been proven to work effectively as complementary medicine in the treatment of cancer cases, and also a variety of other medical conditions providing an effective system of alternative medicine without use of drugs and also when the patient is located far away distantly as it happened during COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns globally. YPV offers immense scope for further research using appropriate sample size and research methodology to establish the results on a wider scale for helping mankind with lessexpensive and effective treatment process. Recommendations include spreading and imparting working knowledge of YPV healings among medical personnel such as doctors and nurses and other frontline healthcare workers to holistically treat patients, and also include it effectively in disease prevention protocols.
