Let's Talk About Reiki & Alternative Healing

In her second blog, Samantha E. Harris writes about alternative healing and her own experiences. Harris writes, "When I was diagnosed with Vitiligo and another auto-immune disease, I was told by numerous specialists and endocrinologists that there was no cure, that my body would eventually have the same pigmentation pattern of a giraffe and that my risk of skin cancer would triple. I didn't take "no" for an answer and began my own search into alternative healing - as should everyone. I believe nature has provided us with everything we need to heal and is what our pharmaceuticals are derived from. Eventually I found a natural cure (wearing a copper bracelet and taking gingko biloba) and also visited with a homeopath."
