"Many doctors now admit that alternative medicine often seems to do a better job of making patients well, and at a much lower cost, than mainstream care—and they’re trying to learn from it.
In recent years, integrative medical-research clinics...42 of them at major academic medical institutions including Harvard, Yale, Duke, the University of California at San Francisco, and the Mayo Clinic.."

There are anecdotal reports that Reiki increases relaxation and sense of well-being. Some evidence suggests that Reiki may help reduce pain in patients
with advanced cancer, but past studies of Reiki have not generally been rigorously designed and controlled. Other studies have shown no reduction in pain.
Available scientific evidence does not support claims that Reiki can treat cancer.

Reiki Used for Cancer PatIents
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704893604576200502111578620.html
Reiki, a therapy in which hands are placed lightly on the body or just above it, is increasingly being used to reduce cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, nausea
and pain. Several studies suggest a benefit to patients, but scientists say more large, rigorous studies are needed.
