Subject: RE: BS: Science and New Age: Bridging the chasm
A. I'm pleased to announed that a google search for "Daniel Wirth + huna", and another for "Two Bears + Daniel Wirth" yielded zero results. A plus for Mr two Bears.
B. However, an earlier post by Wolfgang showed that the scientific basis for Reike is pretty thoroughly compromised. Earlier yet, a GUEST demanded to know where public funds were being used for questionable New Age treatments. I quote Two Bear's post of 2:07 AM:
Reiki is currently in use as a complementary therapy at the Tucson Medical Center in Arizona, the Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire, and at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York. The Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) Medical School, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Marian General Hospital, and the California Pacific Medical Center all offer Reiki to their patients. In Cleveland, hospitals are considering setting up a Reiki clinic.
Somehow, these programs were pushed through without any serious check of the basis of Reike. 'Nuff said.
