A 2004 study by the National Center for Alternative and Complementary
Medicine cites that 36% of adults in the U.S. are using some form of on-
going complementary or alternative medicine (CAM); and when
megavitamin therapy and prayer are included for health reasons, the
number jumps to 62%. The survey found that most people use CAM
with
conventional medicine (complementary) as opposed to
replacing
conventional medicine (alternative).

That's good news for people seeking relief from ailments that
conventional medicine may not be treating totally or satisfactorily.
Massage therapies are becoming main stream, as
massage practices are
joined with other health practitioners, like Chiropractors, Physical
Therapists, medical doctors and surgeons. Types of CAMs, like Reiki and  
Reconnective Healing, involve the use of energy fields, the
electro-
magnetic fields or biofields that surround and penetrate the human body.

  • Hospitals throughout the country are exploring the integration of
    CAM therapies with their conventional health care for the greater
    good of their patients -- treating the whole person.
  • Once viewed with skepticism, distrust, or even fear by people in the
    western hemisphere, complementary health care and energy work,
    in particular, have gained a better understanding and acceptance by
    peoples of all cultures and faiths, including Christians.

Reiki, for example, is a Japanese technique for relaxation and stress
reduction that promotes healing on all levels: mind, body, and spirit. It
draws upon universal life force energies that are directed by the wisdom
and love of the Higher Power. It is based on science and the growing
understanding we have of our physical/mental/emotional world. It is not a
religion.
