Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Information on FDA ruling not factual Dear Students of Reiki, Recently there have been many emails circulating on the internet warning about a new ruling the FDA is about to create that would threaten the practice of Reiki and other complementary practices making it illegal to practice unless you’re a medically licensed health care provider. The emails have also said that our right to use vitamins and herbs will also be threatened by this new ruling so that they will only be available by a doctor’s prescription and even then at very low dosages. People have been asked to protest this ruling by sending emails to the FDA by April 30. This information is not based on fact. The practice of Reiki isn’t being threatened by any proposed FDA ruling, nor is our right to access vitamins and herbs. The information passed around on the Internet has for some reason been distorted and misrepresented. In December 2006, the FDA issued a guidance document that commented on an existing ruling. They are not proposing anything new. To summarize part of the existing ruling, it indicates that if a vitamin, herb or food manufacturer states that their product will cure an illness, that manufacturer must first get permission from the FDA before making such a statement. The same is true for any practice such as Reiki. If a Reiki practitioner claims that Reiki will cure an illness, then the practitioner must get permission from the FDA before making that claim. The National Health Freedom Coalition has reviewed this issue and written a clarification document that I suggest you read for further information. Look specifically at points 5 and 6. http://www.nationalhealthfreedom.org/AlertFDAguidanceDoc.html Here’s the link to the FDA document http://www.fda.gov/cber/gdlns/altmed.pdf Sincerely, William Lee Rand, President, The International Center for Reiki Training Ahhh...imagining that irresistible " new car " smell?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thank you, thank you, thank you for that clarification. There has been a lot of fear producing emails going around that I have finally just deleted. We can make our voices heard without the fear mongering. Thank you, William Rand, for doing such. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 That is the first I had heard about it if it is a hoax, for that matter this is the first place and time I had even heard of it. Though I wouldn't put it past them as they have attempted to do things like that with supplements many many times. I have also witnessed times that cities or states were convinced to pass legislation on different holistic alternative healing arena, and watched when outside forces came in and took it over creating a nightmare in its wake. for instance recently the natropaths of my state became convinced and decided they wanted some legislation and a board to help govern over all of them and to help build credibility to them hopefully eliminating the flim flams. The naturopaths were all supposed to be involved and have some of them on the board that was to govern, and some group came in from another state and muscled the creators of the bill out of even being a part of the board. I have seen as the FDA has gone in guns blazing raiding offices like they were gun dealers or something else. I have seen it that many of us can not say certain words with out fear. I thank you for finding out if it is true or not, though with a note of healthy skepticism we all need to keep an active watch as to what the FDA Gods do, to keep all of us and our fellow beings safe. as well as what is happening in the legislature, to make sure something doesn't get slipped into another health bill. -- Have a Happy and Keep Smiling TTFN Angelina Thelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Angelina, It is very real indeed. Sadly, I think Mr. Rand's email will have many people thinking this is not real or as serious as it is. Our freedoms are at stake. Here is a useful link: www.HealthFreedomUSA.org I believe it is necessary to be informed and make your own informed opinion.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yvonne, I don't expect that Reiki is in any danger. Don't you just use a healing energy found in the universe for your healing? Other healers are in more danger. AND all people who want to eat start getting rights pinched once again. But... beware misinformation, and do you know yet which report is the misinformation. Misinformation used to be just for our enemies, now it's for citizens too. The future isn't what it used to be, folks.
