The C.A.M. Report
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point

  • About this web log

    This blog ran from 2006 to 2016 and was intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research. Since my background is in pharmacy and allopathic medicine, I view all CAM as advancing through the development pipeline to eventually become integrated into mainstream medical practice. Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here.

    Questions about reiki

    The name Reiki originates from Japanese REI (spirit) and KI (energy, life force). Reiki therapy utilizes spiritual, or universal, energy to assist the healing process.

    Several years ago I interviewed Reiki master Michael W. Smith.

    Mr Smith practices Reiki at the Women’s Place at Carroll County General Hospital in Westminster, Maryland. The transcript serves as a useful primer on this system of hands-on touching designed to strengthen and normalize certain vital energy fields thought to exist within the body.
