Alternative medicine gets some recognition at the University of Maryland:
“At one of the nation’s top trauma hospitals, a nurse circles a patient’s bed, humming and waving her arms as if shooing evil spirits. Another woman rubs a quartz bowl with a wand, making tunes that mix with the beeping monitors and hissing respirator keeping the man alive.
They are doing Reiki therapy, which claims to heal through invisible energy fields. The anesthesia chief, Dr. Richard Dutton, calls it “mystical mumbo jumbo.” Still, he’s a fan.
“It’s self-hypnosis” that can help patients relax, he said. “If you tell yourself you have less pain, you actually do have less pain.”

“mystical mumbo jumbo.”
Your post reminded me of an article I read recently where Scientists are putting forth this idea that we are, “floating TV receivers” and the universe is a hologram. Interesting stuff that supports the idea your post presents. I remember listening to some Buddhist monks who were trying to tell the world that if science would just bend a little they would find both science and religion go hand in hand and complement each other rather than contradict each other. I think this idea may be just that.
