I'd be interested to see evidence that reiki can reduce the loss of blood during operations.
That's another good reason to try reiki (and other alternative therapies) before resorting to surgery.
If you feel better and people say to you "it's only the placebo effect", you can reply "yeah, isn't it great?"
I'm sure you've tried this, but could you see if you can get your gp to refer you to the surgeon that your current physio recommends...many surgeons do both nhs and private work.
(try whatever alternatives you like..most can't do any harm, other than too your wallet).
ho hum
T2x
Together with kinesiology, I would no longer contemplate going to see a GP.
I see the two as complementary
I also got a nice tan
I really do want someone to explain how a cure that relies on the "laying on of hands" can work remotely. If no-one can defend it, (other than just saying "it works"), I have to continue to assume it is just quackery.
Jd..I genuinely hope you never have anything seriously wrong with you. When my mother had breast cancer, one of the people diagnosed at the same time as her decided she didn't want radiotherapy or chemo, she would rely on "alternative" treatments. She died. My mother is still going strong.
I wouldnt abandon normal medicine.
Whatever the arguments for and against, in my experience, alternative treatments have worked (for me) and I continue to have reflexology and reiki once a month and will carry on doing so. Modern society is conditioned to think in straightforward terms, right / wrong, black / white, tv on / tv off and science is the 'bible' that our decisions are based on and it precludes any 'grey' areas. My father in law is a physicist and chemist and has science and engineering qualifications up the ying yang and is a very analytical guy and yet he goes to church and is a devout Christian who believes in God. He is also open minded enough to accept that there are things that we don't have answers to, or perhaps never will.
Anyway, rant over - sorry ;o)
Look at that poor girl who has just died from a so called fully qualified specialist overdosed her severely on Chemo!
At least when Reiki is used it doesnt "overdose" it goes to exactly where its needed.
Like PH Im a firm believer that the two should work alongside each other.
But the persons providing both services should be fully qualified/trained.
Everything is wave-icles (as in light can exhibit properties of particles and waves, dpeending upon the methods used to measure - Oh by the way the earlier post on quantum physics was rubbish)
So what you do is "wave" at the waves...
You can't just change energy...that requires energy too. Mass turned to energy = kaboom. Water to water vapour requires energy. Just chaing energy doesn't make sense. That's like saying by using reiki you can turn red light to blue by increasing the frequency.
Frequency is like speed it's not a vector, so how can it be positive or negative?
Why should you only wish to speed the frequency up, maybe the "energy" requires slowing down.
Maybe reiki works but the explantions do not.
I don't see why there has to be conflict between so-called conventional and alternative therapies. What they all do to some extent is alter the way we visualise what is wrong with us, and that affects chemicals in the brain - a hugely powerful force that researchers are only just starting to understand.
It can never be guaranteed that the same treatment will work for everyone. We are all different and will all respond differently to inputs of energy, radiotherapy or whatever.
Like I asked, can you get too much Reiki?
If all my energy is balanced then does the Reiki just bounce off me, or will I get too much energy and evpaorate?
In alternative therapies that is simply not the case. Apart from some claims made on behalf of accupuncture there have been no proven results for the efficacy of any alternative treatment. For some people they work, for others they don't.
This is probably caused by spurious corelation. In other words the alternative treatment is hapening but so is something else. When a healing result happens it is attributed to teh alternative rather than the "something else". This unknown factor is - I would imagine - why results from alternative therapies work some of the time. For example Lardass mentioned alternative therapies in the case of a fertility problem. He also mentioned "some lifestyle changes" - why assume that the alternative therapy rather than the lifestyle changes were responsible for teh pregnancy?
If it's working for you then great, more power to you. But until there is a peer reviewed proof I'll be steering clear.
By the way, on Quantum Mechanics the whole quantumn universe is very strange and no-one can agree on something as fundamental as how many dimensions there are (9, 12, more?) However many quantum formulations are strictly theoretical and only operate on the sub atomic level. Technically Einstein proved Newtonian physics wrong. Flight is based on Newtonian principales. You don't see 747's falling out of the sky because of that though so I don't see how the argument is relevant. It's a bit like saying that becasue you can breath air you should be able to breath water, a false extrapolation into an incorrect environment based on flawed assumptions.
Obviously you have people from completely opposing viewpoints.
Me I'm in the middle. I think that some complementary medicine works either in a scientific but not yet understood way, or by relaxing and reducing stress, + giving time which most conventional medicines cannot do
I also think that there are plenty of mercenary people who can exploit vulnerable needy peeps to part with cash on the basis of a miracle cure.
Conventional medicine tends to be more hurried and less focused on whole person and therefore you can easily find fault - plus on the whole it is mass produced for an ever demanding market with no profit for providers. However there are plenty of people who have reason to say they would not be alive without it -me being one of them.
I'd be reluctant for anyone to refuse either complementary or conventional medicine. However I would wish that both were provided by qualified registered practitioners who care.
