Everything in the modern world needs to be 'regulated by a governing body'. Is there no trust? Is there no belief? Are people so mollycoddled that they are unable to make any decisions themselves about what they do and who they do it with. Let's try and be sensible. Of course if you want to amputate limbs or operate on people then you should be tested for competency and registered for responsibility, but should a non-invasive activities like Reiki require some highly paid political opportunist to mange them? I look forward with dread to days when I need a licence to blow my children's noses! Why Oh Why! Everything in the modern world needs to be 'regulated by a governing body'. Is there no trust?

I appreciate the fact that many medical establishments are very full of themselves and will dismiss alternative medicine out of hand, but once you've been discredited, and homeopathy has been, you have no place in mainstream medicine.
