Dear Brian,
Reiki has helped me with pain relief & drainage but has not "cured" me. It is unfortunately chronic & I have been through the antibiotic, more antibiotic, steroids etc routine. Allergies are underlying issue. Now I only take an abx if I absolutely cant get it draining myself. Has been a year I believe since any abx. I use a Neti pot as well though I do wait on that till Im miserable since it is uncomfortable at first. I have no discomfort with the capascin use since the third day or so. I dont use it regularly just as needed. But perhaps I should do more Reiki. :)
peace & joy,
holobon
