Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could
be bad for your health. This new theory argues that healing(the process of becoming healthy and strong
again)is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and
scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi.
These waste our time, something that is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can
kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones. We must admit that these methods are very
effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some "everyday complaints” such as
back pains, headaches, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take
an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When
you use these pills for a long period, you become dependent on them; you cannot sleep without them.
We pay huge amounts of money and but never get better. How about a safer and more economical way
of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very
economical. Also, there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs.
They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How
can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the
hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually,
instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome
the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the
everyday worries.
Some people may still hold that in our material world, everything depends on time. How would it be
possible to find time to do Reiki? In fact, Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time. It is
less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some
complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
