I started aroma therapy in my office - and then the Fire Marshall told me I couldn't burn my Yankee Candle!  Damn the bad luck - I've been a curmudgeon ever since..........

geez

I have to admit I had to go to the web to find out what the heck Reiki was. Turns out it's more or less an extension of the "healing hands" that seemed to swing through nursing about 20 years ago

I'm seriously considering setting up a crystal franchise in my hospital. Why lose out on a good thing

Here is a link to the press release from Shock Trauma. The all
capital lettering is their idea. All capital letters probably
improve the outcome.

Here is a quote:

"The University of Maryland Medical Center is the only facility
in the country offering Reiki to trauma patients, although it has
also been used to treat people with cancer and other illnesses."

Nobody else, according to the press release, is using Reiki. So,
while Johns Hopkins may not have trauma center designation, they
do not appear to be sampling the anesthesia supplies.

Their study of Acupuncture leaves some room for improvement.
There does not appear to be a placebo group. How do you determine
that an added treatment is more effective than placebo, if you do
not have patients receiving a sham form of acupuncture?

Perhaps they are using an ancient form of research, that does not
involve the scientific method.
