This article on Reiki is very flawed and needs to be re written. There is not necessarily touch, hands hover and can but not necessarily touch a recipient of energy. There is no reasoned basis for intitially describing it as pseudoscience. Adequate scientific work has not been done to say this. One would say quantum tunneling is pseudoscience if only a superficial description of it was provided, yet we now are understanding Quantum characteristics are basic to many common processes we see or experience. 136.47.198.57 (talk) 11:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

3. Change section "Reiki is used as an illustrative example of pseudoscience in scholarly texts and academic journal articles.[2][3] The marketing of reiki has been described as "fraudulent misrepresentation",[3] and itself as a "nonsensical method",[4] with a recommendation that the American government agency NCCAM should stop funding reiki research because it "has no substantiated health value and lacks a scientifically plausible rationale".[5]" to "There is not yet sufficient evidence to suggest that reiki is an effective treatment for any condition.[2]" ACapella7 (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
