  • Reiki Energy Medicine: Enhancing the Healing Process by Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master Hartford Hospital Dept.Of Integrative Medicine, Hartford, CT
    Reiki Energy Medicine: Enhancing the Healing Process by Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master Hartford Hospital Dept.of Integrative Medicine, Hartford, CT With increasing frequency and confidence, we speak of Energy Medicine (also known as “energy work”) as if it was a new form of therapy for our patients’ ailments. Not so. Thousands of years ago ancient cultures understood intuitively what scientific research and practitioners world-wide are confirming today about the flow (or lack of flow) of energy in the body and, how the use of energy therapies can enhance the healing process. As well known medical surveys report approximately 50% of the American public using some form of complementary or alternative therapy, “energy work” is among the ten most frequently used. Research has shown that these therapies (often called “mind-body-spirit techniques”) can help decrease anxiety, diminish pain, strengthen the immune system, and accelerate healing, whether by simply inducing the “relaxation response” (and reversing the “stress response” and subsequent impacts on the body, illness, and disease) or, by more complex mechanisms. When patients choose these options, there is often a greater sense of participation in healing and restoration of health and, patient satisfaction is often increased in the process. It was with this understanding that Women’s Health Services at Hartford Hospital (in collaboration with Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master and Volunteer Services) began to integrate Reiki healing touch (one of the most well known forms of “energy work” ) on the inpatient gynecological surgical unit in 1997. Patients have been very pleased to be offered an option that is so relaxing and helps decrease their anxiety as well as their discomfort.

  • Healing Touch: Trouble with Angels
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAH025 HEALING TOUCH: TROUBLE WITH ANGELS by Sharon Fish Mooney This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 28, number 2 (2005). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS Nontraditional health-related practices that involve the hands, based on the assumption that people are energy fields, are becoming increasingly popular. One of the most widely used is Healing Touch, a practice rooted in a variety of belief systems, including Theosophy, spiritism, and Buddhism. Nurses and others certified as Healing Touch practitioners are expected to read a wide range of books on occult philosophy and engage in experiential training that includes information on contacting and channeling “angels” or “spiritual guides.” Healing Touch and related practices such as Therapeutic Touch and Reiki are being welcomed into Christian churches uncritically in the guise of Christian healing practices, based on the belief that the healing associated with them is the same form of healing practiced by Jesus and the first-century Christians. These churches appear to be ignoring biblical injunctions that warn the people of God to have nothing to do with aberrant belief systems, mediums, and with any practices associated with divination. Elisabeth Jensen is a registered nurse and a qualified mid-wife. She has many qualifications in complementary healing methods: she is a Therapeutic Touch Teacher; Melchizedek Method Facilitator; Past, Parallel, and Future Lives Therapist; Certified Angel Intuitive Practitioner; Professional Crystal Healer; Aura Reading and Healing Therapist, and Healing Touch Practitioner.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Corporate Medical Policy Complementary and Alternative Medicine File Name: complementary_and_alternative_medicine Origination: 12/2007 Last CAP Review: 2/2021 Next CAP Review: 2/2022 Last Review: 2/2021 Description of Procedure or Service The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine (NCCIH), a component of the National Institutes of Health, defines complementary, alternative medicine (CAM) as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional or allopathic medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies-questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. Complementary medicine proposes to add to a proven medical treatment. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. Alternative means the proposed method would possibly replace an already proven and accepted medical intervention. NCCIM classifies CAM therapies into 5 categories or domains: • Whole Medical Systems. These alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. These systems have evolved apart from, and earlier than, the conventional medical approach used in the U.S. Examples include: homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics, Naprapathy and Polarity Therapy. • Mind-Body Medicine. Mind-body interventions use a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques have become part of mainstream practice, such as patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

A staple in massage therapy training as well as acupuncture, acupressure, and herbology. 2500 BCE: Egyptian tomb paintings show massage was part of their medical tradition. 1500 and 500 BCE: First known written massage therapy traditions come from India. The art of healing touch was used in their practice of Ayurvedic (life health) medicine. Ayurveda is regarded as the originating basis of holistic health combining, massage, meditation, relaxation, and flower essence. 1800’s Dr Ling, a Swedish physician, educator, and gymnast, developed a method of movement that became known as the Swedish Movement System which became the foundation for Swedish massage commonly used in the West.

Joselle Cook, Kah Whye Peng, Susan Michelle Geyer, Brenda F. Ginos, Amylou C. Dueck, Nandakumar Packiriswamy, Lianwen Zhang, Beth Brunton, Baskar Balakrishnan, Thomas E. Witzig, Stephen M Broski, Mrinal Patnaik, Francis Buadi, Angela Dispenzieri, Morie A. Gertz, Leif P. Bergsagel, S. Vincent Rajkumar, Shaji Kumar, Stephen J. Russell, Martha Lacy; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH; Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ; Division of Hematology, Mayo Clinic, Roches- ter, MN; Vyriad and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN Background: Oncolytic virotherapy is a novel immunomodulatory therapeutic approach for relapsed re- fractory hematologic malignancies. The Indiana strain of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus was engineered to encode interferon beta (IFNb) and sodium iodine symporter (NIS) to produce VSV-IFNb-NIS. Virally en- coded IFNb serves as an index of viral proliferation and enhances host anti-tumor immunity. NIS was in- serted to noninvasively assess viral biodistribution using SPECT/PET imaging. We present the results of the phase 1 clinical trial NCT03017820 of systemic administration of VSV-IFNb-NIS among patients (pts) with relapsed refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM), T cell Lymphoma (TCL) and Acute myeloid Leu- 9 kemia (AML). Methods: VSV-IFNb-NIS was administered at 5x10 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infec- 11 tious dose) dose level 1 to dose level 4, 1.7x10 TCID50. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of VSV-IFNb-NIS as a single agent. Secondary objectives were determination of safety profile and preliminary efficacy of VSV-IFNb-NIS.

  • Integration of Reiki, Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch Into Clinical Services
    Office of Clinical Integration and Evidence-Based Practice April 2018 OREGON HEALTH AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF CLINICAL INTEGRATION AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Evidence-Based Practice Summary Integration of Reiki, Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch into Clinical Services Prepared for: Richard Soehl, MSN, RN; Helen Turner, DNP, PCNS; Janani Buxton, RN; Kathleen Buhler, MSN; Brenda Quint-Gaebel, MPH-HA; Michael Aziz, MD Authors: Marcy Hager, MA BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The concept of subtle energy and methods of its use for healing has been described by numerous cultures for thousands of years.13 These vital energy concepts all refer to subtle or nonphysical energies that permeate existence and have specific effects on the body-mind of all conscious beings.13 Although many of these practices have been used over millennia in various cultural communities for the purpose of healing physical and mental disorders, they have only recently been examined by current Western empirical methods.13 These modalities, collectively termed by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as biofield therapies 19, began to be more widely taught and used by U.S. providers in many clinical and hospital settings starting in the 1970s.13 Biofield therapies in clinical practice use both hands-on and hands-off (nonphysical contact) procedures.17, 29 Biofield therapies have previously been used for reducing pain and discomfort in patients with cancer, chronic pain, and fatigue and anxiety, as well as for improving general health.23 Additionally, biofield therapies have shown positive effects on biological factors, such as hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, immunological factors, vital signs, healing rate of wounds, and arterial blood flow in the lower extremities.
