Using 15 minute treatments, I have had no success with reflex sympathetic dystrophy, warts, or skin diseases in general. Perhaps longer treatments for these conditions would produce better results. At all cost, use Reiki as a supplement to, not a substitute for, conventional therapy. It is best to limit treatment to those patients with a firm diagnosis or at least a rational workup in progress and to those who are already receiving optimal treatment within the conventional Western medical system. It is easiest to channel Reiki in a practice in which you are the sole or senior proprietor.
Hospital administrators vary widely in their receptiveness to alternative health systems.
Because granting you privileges for Reiki would represent approval of the technique by the institution, many administrators would be reluctant to grant them to you or anyone else. A large volume of scientific research that verifies the value of bioenergetic healing has been compiled. Scientific literature on Therapeutic Touch can be found in most medical libraries - look it up under Therapeutic Touch and Dolores Krieger. I will continue to explore the possibilities for Reiki in medical practice. Despite the problems, the skeptics, the detractors, and the patients that do not respond, channeling Reiki has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
