HYDERABAD: B.M. Hegde, president, World Academy of Authentic Healing Sciences, has said latest science tells that ‘pranayaama' form of yoga stimulates lot of human organs as it ensured intermittent hypoxia due to lesser breathing ‘in' and longer breathing ‘out' while doing the exercise.

Dr. Hegde regretted that a ‘health scare system' had come into being in the name of modern hi-tech medicine. What was required was compassionate, humane and neighbourhood family physicians. Japan had 99 per cent family physicians and 1 per cent specialists whereas it was reverse in the US.
