Statistics Don’t Lie

The safety of Reiki is 100%. There are no medical contraindications from receiving Reiki.

Not so for drugs, yet in the West we are quick to take them and seek them out from the doctors. Countless times I have heard “I just don’t believe in Reiki” or “sounds screwy to me” from the same people who will take pill after pill looking for a way to feel better.

Here are some interesting facts the pharmaceutical companies don’t want you to know:

According to a Time article written on February 2, 2004, “each year an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 people die as a result of adverse reactions from FDA-sanctioned pharmaceutical drugs sold in America. In fact, mistakes in administering drugs, often in hospitals, are the fourth- or sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S., depending on how the cases are counted.”

According to the researchers at the University of Toronto, who studied harmful drug reactions from normal medical use, by looking at U.S. hospital studies dating 30 years back from 1998, 75,000-100,000 people die each year from prescribed medications.

And Mother Earth News reports “the General Accounting Office (GAO) reported in 1990 that more than half of the drugs newly approved by the FDA in one decade had "serious post-approval risks, including heart failure, birth defects, kidney failure, blindness and convulsions."

Currently only heart disease, cancer and stroke cause more deaths in the United States than harmful drug reactions from normal medical use.
