Isn’t it interesting that ancient methods of caring for a person’s health are now considered alternative and complementary methods of health care?

Isn’t it also ironic that medical practices that have been in use for less than 200 years are considered traditional?

Well, I guess that’s another topic altogether that I shall leave for another day.

A study conducted at Clayton College of Natural Health, in Birmingham, Alabama, was published in 2004 by Dissertation.com.

It was a small study, only 15 participants, but the results were favorable. Reiki helped those struggling with insomnia and also seemed to improve sleep patterns for those who had trouble staying asleep.

Hopefully, more studies can be conducted to help us help ourselves by redigging
the wells of truth and wisdom – and then integrate them fully into today’s “traditional”
methods of medicine… which will be true progress.

And now, I can’t resist one more irony…

Why does the discovery or creation of new medical treatments automatically
replace everything that was known before, even when studies and research prove
that the new methodologies are only hopeful at best, and not without possible
negative side effects?

Where is the logic in that?

The logic is in the money – that’s all.
