If it doesn't replace all the other therapies, but only is offered in addition to them, and it stirs something within the child (even if a placebo effect) that causes their body's immune system to respond....then why not?
Here's why not!
The British National Health Service is in a total shambles with a shortage of doctors and dentists, antiquated equipment and hospitals contaminated bu antibiotic-resistant germs because of a lack of proper cleaning.
Yet here they are piddling away money on New Age quacks.
Reiki is a quack medicine. My ex was into it. It cost her and her current husband a small fortune and it did nothing except make me laugh. Do a qick google search on Reiki and quack.
Feng shui is another one that makes me laugh. PT Barnum was right on the money.
