Energy Therapies Reduce Medical
and Other Healthcare Costs


The continuing rise of healthcare costs seems never-ending, and is something we are all concerned about, especially those who face financial challenges like the poor and uninsured. This isn't to say those who are blessed to have more don't have their worries about medical costs. They most certainly do!

All of us - rich, poor, and anywhere in between - are seeking ways to reduce medical expenses. One such way, which is steadily gaining recognition and is rapidly becoming a mainstream first-line therapy rather than a last resort, is the use of alternative and holistic therapies, such as those offered here at Reiki & Bio-Balancing Therapies.

Heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed the use of energy medicine on the Oprah Show and said, "The reason I'm so excited and passionate about alternative medicine is … [because it is] the globalization of medicine."

Alternative medicines, Dr. Oz says, deal with the body's energy—something that traditional Western medicine generally does not. "We're beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure," he says. "As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier … in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel."

Mary Ruggie, a Harvard professor and author has a lot to say about healthcare costs and holistic therapies: A "Third Way" to Cut Healthcare Costs.

If doctors, surgeons, celebrities, and upscale university professors are paying attention, maybe we should too.

Everyone, everywhere is taking notice of the viability of holistic healthcare measures. And people are saving money by using them. This holiday season (December 2007) I received the following letter from a client. This letter is used in its entirety and with the client's permission; first names however have been reduced to initials at the client's request.

Dear Ms. Sabrina,

 

My husband and I discovered something we thought you’d want to know about. We are staggered by this discovery.

 

As you know my husband R has diabetes and our son R-Jr has allergies, nothing major but they do bother him severely a couple times a year. And as for me and our other son K, we are usually real healthy and do not have any serious illness to contend with. You have probably figured out we are pretty fortunate in the financial arena. We are strict about health checkups even when all is going good and that really adds up with four people. Anyway, R and I had heard that having reiki and other similar services could also help lower medical costs because of it being also a preventive care measure people could take. So we decided to take on our own personal assessment. (Not sure I’d go through all that paperwork again. It was alot of work! Lol But what we found out was worth it.) We wanted to know if we actually saved any money (even though we already knew energy healing worked and we had fewer visits to the doctor, but did we just swap paying the doctor for paying a reiki practitioner? No offense, but we were curious.)

 

We pulled out five years of medical bills and expenses. The bills were for the four of us and included all our medical care (yearly check ups at the doctor, dentist, vision care, and we also see a naturopath). The bills also included prescriptions and the supplements we get from our naturopath. And we also included medical emergencies. (Having two very sporty and active boys has its pitfalls! Lol. I wanted to include the vet bills for G and B, but R said I was going overboard, but after what we found out we are thinking about going over their expenses too.)

 

We chose five years of expenses as just an arbitrary number of years knowing we have been receiving energy healing from you for about one and half years and all that time was also included – that is the time we have been receiving reiki and other healing services with you. After we gathered all these bills we divided them into their respective years and tallied each years’ totals. We were crazed by the totals. Gawd! medical care is so very, very expensive. We just didn’t realize how much we had been paying out. (But God has blessed us in finances so we are very much thankful we have had the means to pay them.)

 

What we did next was take one year of expenses in which we used your services (December 15, 2006 – December 14, 2007), then we divided our medical bills into this same yearly pattern. We took the yearly totals of medical bills from four years prior and compared them to the yearly totals for the year we had energy therapy treatments and we noticed very quickly a drastic decline in costs. I mean by thousands of dollars. We went through the total several times thinking it must be wrong but it came out the same every time. That alone was amazing because the only thing we changed in healthcare costs that year was adding the work you do. That was the only change. We then took that same yearly total and subtracted what we had paid out to you to get the actual savings. Are you ready to hear this??? Our actual savings were $7,499.56! No s**t! That’s the actual total we saved!

 

After this we wanted to know where it was saved and found out these things. It’s not all of them but it gives you a good idea what we found.

 

R’s diabetes has improved measurably, so he’s taking less insulin and has less medication to take. He was at one time, about the time we started energy therapy, bordering the line of needing dialysis. It ended up he started improving and it never dawned on us the reversal might have been from having the energy healing. We still don’t know for sure but it does seem awfully coincidental. It’s hard for either of us to pass it off as coincidence.

 

There were far fewer visits to emergency room and emergency doctor visits due to injury (our extreme sports boys), and issues from R’s diabetes.

 

We all like our sweets (of course R is a different story and has to watch his sugar in a way the rest of us don’t) and we pay the price. But in the year we evaluated we all had fewer dental problems, fewer cavities, and fewer other dental problems.

 

R’s eyesight has improved in spite of the diabetes. The inexplicable eyestrain K had been having for 2 and half years had disappeared so his regular visits to the eye doctor and specialists have ceased to just yearly exams. Whatever had caused the problem seems to be gone and K’s eyesight is just fine.

 

K’s allergy flare-ups were much less bothersome for him which resulted in fewer doctor visits and fewer antihistamines for this problem.

 

General illnesses have declined. You know, things like colds, flus, pink eye (which R-Jr used to get a lot until having reiki), headaches and migraines (I had only one the whole year!) and those types of general things.

 

I and R thought it was really important to tell you all this even though you may be use to hearing about stuff like this. But for us these changes in our medical costs, not to mention our improved health and all we have learned about self-healing and caring for ourselves in simple ways through the resources you’ve recommended us, is way beyond anything we could have imagined. For us it is beyond being coincidental.

 

We are so thankful for what you do and even more thankful we found you. You are one hell of a great practitioner. Thank you from the very bottoms of our hearts.

 

Lovingly yours,

H. and R. Stiles

from Wisconsin

The amount the Stiles' said to have saved is, to me, astonishing. I was so amazed by what they presented to me that I quickly responded, asking for permission to use their letter as testimony. H. Stiles replied, saying, "That's exactly what my husband and I were hoping you'd do. We think everyone should know they can cut healthcare costs with these simple and inexpensive measures, perhaps by thousands like we did."

Will everyone be able to cut healthcare costs as much as the Stiles' have just by adding energy therapy? Will you? I don't know, but the possibilities are astounding.
