Mark, I dont know why you constantly discount this type of treatment when you have never received it. You are very quick to say any research that is not done to your standards is not reliable. This is something that can really help people and you are trying to make this negative so no one will try it. I am proof that it works! i was so depressed and felt like my head was gonna explode everyday until I started getting these treatments and my whole life changed. You become a believer when someone takes your pain away.

I have given about 400 treatments since i started doing healing touch and I have had unbelievable results. Just the other day, I got a woman full feeling back in her arm. She has severe neuropathy from chemotherapy. Her arm has been numb for weeks. I did 1 treatment!!! And she has full feeling back in her arm and no longer needs neurontin. I could go on for days with stories of what i have seen personally and ailments i have taken away from people. I can open up congested sinuses, take away headaches, take away joint pain, take away nausea, etc. It is the simplest, easiest type of treatment because it works with our own energy and our hands. What happens when you bump your knee??? You immediately put your hand there and hold it to ease the pain....and you know it helps. You are doing energy work to yourself all the time and dont even know it.

My Level 4 instructor Anne Day does classes in Sun Valley Idaho.....so there are many practitioners in your area. maybe you should try a treatment and see for yourself before you dismiss it as not working. This is being used in hospitals all across the country, more and more research is being done. In my hospital, we are starting a study using BIS monitors on patients and staff when they are receiving a treatment. BIS monitors are used during anesthesia to see how sedated a patient is when they are paralyzed. We use them in ICU all the time too. We are getting people into anesthesia sedation levels during treatments....that is scientific proven data about the relaxation and sedation response people receive during a treatment.

Our physicians are all on board with this treatment and they write orders for their patients to receive healing touch all the time. This is where medicine is going, and it is going in a very positive, loving, compassionate direction where patients can heal in all areas of their life. Their whole being.
