Across three independent experiments, cultures received 0, 2, 4, or 6 cumulative sessions.

📈 The growth trajectories showed an interesting pattern: as cumulative exposure increased, the placebo and no-treatment groups rose more steeply, while the Reiki-treated trajectory remained lower. The separation appeared after two sessions and persisted through four and six sessions.
⚠️ What does this mean? These are exploratory findings, not proof of an effect. The number of independent experiments was small, and individual contrasts were not statistically significant. The results point to a question worth investigating further with larger, adequately powered studies.
Can repeated Reiki exposure alter cellular growth under controlled laboratory conditions?
