Is there a cure for striaght people as well? It’s funny how humans religion is dictated to us from humans and they leave out all of the good things God has done for us all. God made me this way and I would not change a thing no matter how oppressed humans are toward me. It is Gods will that we are who we are and humans think they can change God’s will.

...the swami defended his more extravagant claims that yoga could cure terminal illnesses such as cancer. He also said he had evidence that breathing exercises could help Aids patients recover by enabling a rise in the number of cells that the HIV virus destroys. Ramdev has an explanation for his success with cancer - that yoga oxygenates the blood which kills the tumour. "Yoga is self-healing and self-realisation. I have many cases of cancer which I can provide where patients have recovered. We have cured blood, throat, ovarian, uterine and throat cancers with yoga." In the case of HIV, he says scientists "have not understood [it] properly". He says that "through yoga and lifestyle changes people increase their CD4 count [the cells the HIV virus attacks]. The truth seen for the first time does appear like a miracle."

I bet it’s that blasted Krounchasana (Heron) pose. I felt very un-gay and un-pretty attempting it last week.

Apparently this guy thinks you can cure anything with breathing exercises, even cancer and genetic diseases.

Yep.. complete nutjob.

He also needs to eat a sandwich.

Well at least the method he’s advocating doesn’t involve physical or emotional abuse..

I suppose that counts for something.

Hmmm, I wonder if that swami ever heard of Sai Baba.
