Admittedly this is dated (2000) but a study of men undergoing radiation for prostate cancer found that 37% of them pursued CAM therapies in addition to conventional treatment-- mostly herbal supplements and high doses of vitamins. (Actually the writers used the term relied on CAM therapies.) But when their doctors were asked, how many of your patients use CAM therapies?, they thought it was only 4%. What can we make of this? Lots. Including that conventional HC providers need to be educated about what CAM providers do, and vice-versa. This is why Im so grateful for the work of ACCAHC, which is working so hard to build some of those bridges.
