Alternative Care May Curb Medical Costs
Scientists across the country are beginning to demonstrate that certain alternative therapies are both safe and effective.
The cost-saving implications of all this are potentially enormous.
For example: When surgeons invite a reiki practitioner ($100 a session) into a music-filled operating room, patients heal faster, allowing them to leave the hospital sooner. An extra day in the hospital costs at least $1,000.
It is simple common sense that whenever people can prevent illness or promote healing, they will use fewer health-care resources.
