This should be an interesting show
where Reiki/medicine hit the road
Here's part of the info I received
from Pamela Miles
Dear bridget,
Increasing public and health care interest in Reiki is a great gift to all of us, and I'm thrilled to announce that public interest is about to receive a big booster shot.
Yesterday we taped a Reiki segment for The Dr. Oz Show that will air in January 2010.
You'll see Mehmet mention that his wife is a Reiki master, how he and I worked together in the O.R., and his vision of Reiki as the next frontier of medicine. Reiki--and the public-- couldn't have a more impressive, more sincere advocate.
Check my website for the air date, or look on And for anyone who isn't yet a fan, Mehmet Oz is a renowned cardiac surgeon who has supported the use of complementary therapies long before it was fashionable, appearing on the cover of the July 30, 1995 NY Time's Sunday Magazine. He catapaulted to fame when he became a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and continues to empower viewers to take better care of themselves through his own show.
Good developments from the health care side as well. The current research initiative of National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is pain management. NCCAM is well aware of Reiki, having already funded five studies.
