Reintroduction of POV on Reiki

Changing items such as "scientists" to "skeptics" introduces POV, and making changes to include "nor disproven" in the statement that simply says that Reiki has not been proven in tests adds unneeded wording that appears to try to soften the sentence... WP:WEASEL might be interesting reading. -- Xinit 21:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've taken out the "nor disproven" even though it is technically correct. I've left "skeptics", which I use in an unbiased way, as the self-appointed and privately funded "National Council Against Health Fraud" does not publish science, just skeptic opinion, which has its place of course but should not be misrepresented as science.
