I think that, that is the problem thou. If reiki does enhance the heling quailty of the meds, then there is a possability that doseage would have to be monitered in case less was need.

There is somre growing evidence that Reiki can alter the need for medication, or at least lead to the need for reduction. A few Doctors over here are refering people to Reiki practitioners for pain relief, or pain management as part of their overall treatment and early results have shown in some cases that less pain medication is needed. This could be for one of many reasons i.e placebo effect, people feeling more content because they have some unconditional touch or what ever else it may be.

From a personal perspective. I have been on meds for hyper tension for some years, no amount of reiki has led to me needing less med's.

Perhaps the way to word this when you are telling someone about it, is that "In some case's Reiki has reduced the need for so much medication and as such you should consult your medical provider to make sure that the level of med's does not need to be altered". This of course also has the effect of getting the person to take more responsability for their condition and in doing so may actually lead to a better frame of mind and thus less need for so much medication.

There are some who will also warn their clients that they may expeiriance an emotional release as a result of their treatment. This of course may happen, but on the same count, because it has been suggested it may of been planted in someones mind that this may occur and thus make it happen because of that
