This is why science asks more specific questions than "Does Reiki work?" We shouldn't let a self-proclaimed Reiki Master determine what we look at.
I'd also add that we don't have to let them determine our terminology, either. If the touch parts of Reiki work, then there's no reason we should add an air of validity to all of Reiki by saying "Reiki works" instead of "touch therapy works" or something similar.

What I'd like to see is Reiki practitioners who do not believe in the mumbo-jumbo, perhaps don't even know about it, but simply perform the same actions that the Reiki practitioners do. Will that matter for the effectiveness? Do they need to talk to the patient about healing energy channels, or can they talk about something else?
