Cancer council accused of pseudoscience for offering free reiki to oncology patients
Tim Mendham of Australian Skeptics says reiki is purported to help ‘balance’ energy flows through practitioner's hands.
Cancer Council WA has defended offering free ‘energy healing’ to oncology patients after it was shortlisted for the annual Bent Spoon pseudoscience award from Australian Skeptics.
Australian Skeptics says the charity has been providing a series of complementary therapies including the energy channelling therapy reiki and foot-based reflexology.
