TDM
Therapeutic drug monitoring is the measurement of specific drugs at intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream. Drugs that are monitored tend to have a narrow therapeutic range &ndash, the quantity required to be effective is not far removed from the quantity that causes significant side effects and/or signs of toxicity. Maintaining this steady state is not as simple as giving a standard dose of medication. Each person will absorb, metabolize, utilize, and eliminate drugs at a different rate based upon their age, general state of health, genetic makeup, and the interference of other medications that they are taking. This rate may change over time and vary from day to day. Read more on

Reiki
The practice of Reiki, which may be as old as 2,500 years, is mentioned in Tibetan sutras and in ancient records of cosmology and philosophy. The name Reiki comes from the Japanese words rei, meaning "universal spirit," and ki, meaning "life energy." The Japanese physician and Buddhist monk Hichau Mikao Usui revitalized the practice of Reiki in the 19th century. Hawayo Tokata introduced Usui Reiki to the West in the 1930s.
