massage is also being brought into hospitals.
there is a woman who practices the brennan school
of energy manipulation in a local hospital. in
boston they are using masseuses and may let
licensed naturopaths in.
all these protocols are seen as benign and do not
threaten the power of allopathy. as gisela notes,
they are perceived as 'feel good' therapies.
homeopathy stands alone for its ability to work
so deeply into the core and effect such levels of
cure.
even acupuncture, which is now covered minimally
by insurance, is not seen as threatening to allopathy
as homeopathy.
there seems to be an unforgiving hostility by the
allopathic profession towards homeopathy and chiropractic.
it is absolutely pathological, imo. perhaps it is due to
the tremendous success of homeopathy during its earlier
years compared to allopathy and the fact that the chiro's
successfully sued the allopathic industry. and perhaps
this is more germaine to the usa, but i am doubting it.

I really do not know how Reiki has become so popular in the Hospitals but my guess is awareness about it - plus patient request - plus it does not do anything other than makes you feel good (so its safe)- it does not interfere with any medical applications,( so its safe) it is based on energy to the cells ( that is still not understood entirely), it makes the Hospital seem progressive
and can be done by Nurses who are instructed in the method. It does not take a lot of time learning. I am a Reiki practitioner and use the method in my massage practice.
Whow - come to think of it Homeopathy has many of the same characteristics it - except it takes a lot longer to learn. But I know it is all in the public awareness - people heard about it and want it, then it will be sold in the 'Hospital shop'
There is also a very strong and progressive Reiki organization in place.
