Testimonials
Just what can I say, Reiki has been a blessing! I was forced by circumstances to completely withdraw from opioids, mandated decreasing from 38mg of oxycodone daily to zero in 30 days. My Pain Management MD told me I would need to go to a rehabilitation clinic or expect to have to be treated in the emergency room.
No local rehab wanted me because I was not the typical addict. My son’s critical illness prevented me from leaving town, and my medical insurance would cover only half of the high cost (as much as $40K for the period). I was taking opioids for very real pain, including severe Rheumatoid Arthritis with deformed and calcified joints in my feet. I had pain in every joint in my body, as well as Fibromyalgia, and Sjogren’s Syndrome.
I called Ginger about Chinese medicine as an alternative source for pain relief—but she informed me there was nothing there that would help.
The immediate issue was the opioid withdrawal. I had done this in the past, for very high doses, but about the same decrease in dosage. This took several months of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, and basically being curled up in a ball in bed.
Ginger told me about Reiki, and that she and Sue had become Reiki Masters.
My scientific background was disbelieving but I had great trust as we have been friends for nearly 50 years. The concept of remote Reiki made no sense at all.
They said that they had never treated this sort of thing. Since Reiki is an adjunct energy therapy, they use for pain therapy and I had no other option, I decided to give Remote Reiki a try.
Now for the amazing part, after the success of the first night, they committed to treat me nightly until I was off the opioids. This was achieved in 21 days with minor discomfort but nothing approaching the agony of previous withdrawals.
I expected that I would still be in severe pain from my various diseases, but I was shocked at the pain relief as well. Daily I made progress along those lines as well. The pain I had in my toes was incredible and was not even relieved by the oxycodone.
Over the course of daily sessions for the withdrawal, I experienced daily dramatic relief from the underlying pain. Nobody is going to believe this, but the one toe that was completely crossed over the other and calcified, started to uncross. I have sent you pictures of this incredible happening. Most of the pain in my body is gone and on rainy days I have some discomfort. I am continuing daily treatments for pain relief and to reduce any craving for oxycodone during painful episodes. After treatment the pain is gone, and I sleep. I do not know how long I will have to continue daily treatments, but the progress is unbelievable.
My pain medication is now Tylenol and Ibuprofen only as needed. I remain on my regular RA medication Xeljanz and occasionally methylprednisolone. They said they never advise a patient to discontinue their prescriptions.
My Rheumatologist ran her normal blood work, and everything was in the normal range and indictors of inflammation were now in the normal range.
Each of my doctors: Pain Management, Rheumatologist, Psychologist, Primary Care and Psychiatrist said they have never seen me so well and mobile. Most of these specialists have known me for 20 years, and I would say they are shocked. One doctor now wants to refer her patients to Ginger and Sue after seeing the results with her own eyes.
It is life changing, I couldn’t lift a milk jug, now I can lift a lot! My son describes me as “too peppy”. I just finished remodeling my home for my disability, now I don’t need it. I am completely mobile! No more handicapped parking or store scooters for me.
So, thank you both, I don’t understand Reiki, but it certainly has been a miracle for me!
