Hi,

I am not sure if you have found your answer anywhere but as someone who has dabbled in complimentary medicine, I would like to just point out that treatments like Reiki and Pranic healing deals in holistic complimentary treatment of the patient. This means that by trying to balance out the natural occurring energy fields around a patient (referred to as the aura) the practitioner hopes to naturally let the body balance out the negative effects that are taking place inside the body. It is not necessary that the patient is cured of a disease but generally the patient will feel better as the treatment progresses and shows improvement. The level of success will vary greatly. There are many different practitioners out there, but not everyone is as in tuned with healing as they claim. Personally i would recommend that the patient is taken to proper established Reiki or Pranic center. If you need help in finding one do let me know and I will see if i can help.

Best of luck.
