Dr. Oz said of Reiki "If we put cupping in the hybrid category between bio-manipulation and energy," Oz said as the Reiki segment began, "It provides me with a good transition to what I think may be ultimately the most important alternative medicine treatment of all. 

And we are embarking on this whole new vista of opportunities it broadens dramatically the spectrum of where we might be able to go in our bodies and this is the area of energy medicine.” When introducing the teacher he informed the audience and viewers that "she has actually been to the operating room with me where we have done Reiki. 

He pointed out that like his teacher and "my wife Lisa is also a teacher of Reiki so when the kids get sick, or when I'm out of sorts she actually comes by. I can't even tell when she's treating me sometimes she secretly treats me if she thinks I'm in a bad mood and I see hands moving around but I actually feel the heat.” She explained that "Reiki is a balancing practice and so rather than addressing the headache or whatever else is the problem what it does is it influences the person's overall system toward balance and then as the system becomes more balanced symptoms tend to fall away. Then over time for example, if you get headaches you may find that you get them less frequently."

During the demonstration Dr. Oz asked the volunteer recipient if she felt anything to which she replied "Yes, my headache's going away". By way of explaining energy and its importance he said "Let me show you why I think energy has been overlooked," Oz continued, turning to reveal a large microscopic image. "This is an image of a cell. And it's beautiful, isn't it?

You see that cell there and it looks colourful and look at the blue pattern on the outside. That's the membrane of the cell. 

At the show's conclusion, Oz did his usual "Oz's Orders" segment: "Here are the three things I want you to remember from today's show. First off, experience Reiki. This alternative medicine treatment can assist your energy and cure what ails you." He recommended in relation to the other segments of his show that viewers boost their metabolisms and check their blood pressure. "Those are my doctor's orders. "Whereas Reiki Practitioners know that Reiki is not an alternative rather a complementary treatment that the energy is not manipulated rather it goes where it is needed and Reiki is not a cure, 

I believe that this exposure for Reiki to millions of viewers will lead to an increase in interest in this wonderful healing modality. Hopefully it will also encourage more of our Australian Medics and Surgeons to take a look at Reiki.
