Based on a very small population size (n=24), the study conducted at Brown University amongst women with cancer related fatigue compared gentle exercise in the form of cancer specific Qigong to a non-cancer specific strength and aerobic exercise, plant-based nutrition and health/psycho-education program over 10 weeks. The participants were randomized in a single blind study.
There was no significant difference between fatigue improvement between groups suggesting a potential equivalence or non-inferiority of interventions, which could not be definitively established due to small sample size.
I so enjoyed your post. Just as our illness or disease can creep up to us, so to can our improvements be equally slow and minuscule. Only with the passage of time are we able to see or detect a difference. To be truthful, I would have loved to hear more from your "inner New Yorker". Perhaps a little more "HEY, I'm walking here !!" . mason
Wonderful news Ben, you have worked hard and EARNED IT. Yoga and eastern movement arts bring unity to the body that Allopathic medicine has been missing. Many acquaintances have received life changing benefits from these arts. I love how you surrendered your running shoes over to walking shoes by throwing them over a power line. Tony
Here's a link to the study that Len referenced in our High Risk/Recurrent/Advanced PCa Group on Monday https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15347354231162584.
