Used in conjunction with conventional treatments, Reiki is helps to ease the side effects of traditional treatments and medication (in cancer patients it helps with chemotherapy and radiation and improves immune function).
Reiki is practiced by very few at Master Level. There are many at Level 1 (most hospitals offer Reiki from their nurses and doctors who are attuned at Level 1). The number is greatly reduced at Level 2 and very few attain the Master Level.
