I haven't read the article, but I can vouch for what your first commentor said. I'm a Reiki Master (means I can teach). If you're interested we can chat about it at Duck, or the next time we're in chat-mode.
As I said to Grrrscary (and you two should meet, you'd like each other), I am fully aware of Reiki. It's a great thing. A lot of the reason I can still play guitar is because of certain treatments I received. But this guy is ... well ... it may be the article and the way it's written, but he sure sounds like a nut to me.
I did get to read the article in between stuff. He sounds a little odd - but if he's not charging more than $60, and 9 out of 10 clients are satisfied I can't complain about that. It's not like he's doing an invasive or life-threatening treatment.
I'm sure my main argument with him would be the same argument I have with a lot of natural health and alternative health providers... too many of them think that all alleopathic medicine is evil and will not suggest or refer a patient to an alleopath. There is a place for all types of treatments out there, and the trick is getting a thorough diagnosis. One of my favorite people, Dr. Andrew Wiel, is fond of saying (about backache) that you shouldn't seek surgery for a mis-aligned backbone, nor should you go to a chiropractor (or alternative provider) for a tumor on your spine.
That having been said, he might be a daft quack. I'd kind of like to meet him and see.
