Reiki is available as a complementary therapy in the NHS in the United Kingdom and it has been expressed by a founder of Dual Diagnosis Ireland Carol Moore that for Reiki to become mainstreamed as part of the public health system in the Republic of Ireland that there would need to be national state-led regulation of the sector despite of the existence of internal codes of conduct in bodies like the RFI and FICTA.

Fight to Fame is an American reality show based on cryptocurrency and combat sports. As a blockchain based project, the show combines reality TV with sports where professional fighters and contestants go through various challenges to compete for the prize; becoming an action star.
History
The project aims to find fighting action stars through the show as well as use the show itself as a reality TV innovation which is built upon blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. The show features cryptocurrency tokens that can be used to purchase tickets to the show and related events. The project is also co-producing films with mainstream Hollywood studies like Nu Image, Millennium Films, Nu Boyana to back up its stars and has set an annual funding of $500 million dollars for the purpose. It was noted that maintaining fighters from all over the world meant that the platform would need to manage multiple currencies and national contract requirements. Using cryptocurrency solved all these problems at once, with transparency.
