Use of Alternative Medicine Rises Sharply, Study Shows | National Nursing News

Significantly higher numbers of people began using complementary and alternative medicine therapies during the past decade, according to a new analysis.

Dejun Su, PhD, director of the South Texas Border Health Disparities Center at the University of Texas-Pan American, and colleagues examined data from the 2007 National Health Interview Survey. The survey included interviews with more than 23,000 adults.

In addition to overall use, researchers were interested in the rates of increases for different demographics. Between 2002 and 2007, CAM use increased by 18.1% for whites, 17.2% for Asian Americans, 6.6% for African-Americans and 1.01% for Hispanics.

Overall, according to the survey, 33% of whites use at least one CAM therapy, not including prayer. About 32% of Asian Americans, 20% of African-Americans and 17% of Hispanics use at least one such therapy.

The study was first reported by Health Behavior News Service, part of the Center for Advancing Health.

Su said rising healthcare costs may lead people to try CAM therapies — acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, herbal medicine and meditation — when they have nowhere else to turn. More than a third of respondents who reported trying CAM in 2007 stated that they had an untreated medical condition or had put off getting care.

Going forward, Su said, researchers must try to determine the effectiveness and possible risks of CAM therapies, as well as how they interact with conventional medicine.

Healthy Habits Are Hard to Maintain—Even if You Know What Lies Ahead - Healthcare Headaches (usnews.com)

"It's about that time of the month," a physician colleague of mine said to me a few days ago, "when our patients start to let go of their New Year's resolutions." That is, all those well-intentioned promises we make to ourselves year after year to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, to spend 30 minutes in the gym each day, or to start a walking program. Breaking unhealthy habits and starting healthy ones is hard, and most people require several attempts to succeed. As I discussed in a previous blog post, there's good evidence that even multiple intensive lifestyle counseling sessions led by trained professionals are only mildly helpful.

Compounding matters is the fact that every individual is different. You probably know people who’ve lived to ripe old ages in perfect health despite having eaten eggs every day of their lives or not exercising. My great-grandfather smoked cigarettes for 80 years, but died peacefully in his sleep in his late 90s. (Maybe he would have made it to the century mark if he'd quit.) Some researchers have suggested that a more effective way to motivate patients to change their lifestyles could be to give them personalized information about their risk for common chronic conditions such as cancer and heart disease. Others, though, have worried that this knowledge could encourage complacency among those who learn they’re at below-average risk. Why quit smoking, for example, if you think your genes will protect you from lung cancer?
