Dear All,

My brother (33 years old) has a disease called polymyositis. Here is a medical description of the disease:

Polymyositis is a disease of muscle featuring inflammation of the muscle fibers. The cause of the disease is not known. It begins when white blood cells, the immune cells of inflammation, spontaneously invade muscles. The muscles affected are mostly those closest to the trunk or torso. This results in weakness which can be severe. It is a chronic illness with periods of increased symptoms, called flares or relapses, and decreased symptoms, known as remissions.

Currently, my brother has difficulty climbing stairs, not able to lift heavy loads, etc. After showing him to doctors we learnt that allopathy doesn't have a treatment for this type of disease. Do you know if Yoga can cure such disease? If so, whom/how to approach? If not, can you suggest any alternative treatment?

thanks,

manish
