Research, Development & Pioneers

One of the complaints often levelled at complementary therapists by those more confident in allopathic medicine is that the natural therapies are not adequately research based and lack proof of their effectiveness. This would seem to be a valid line of enquiry by any customer whether they be a private individual or a large organisation like the NHS or the Prison Services. Everyone wants to be assured that they are spending their resources wisely and effectively but how many of us are familiar with the research that has been carried out in Reiki and the current developments?

We would like to ask any members who have details of websites which they know or come across containing reiki research articles or papers (for any sector), to forward details to rdp@reikifed.co.uk.
