University of Maryland School of Medicine, examines use of contemporary alternative medicine among blacks ages 60 and older. For the study, researchers conducted a telephone survey among 95 older blacks in Baltimore to ask them about their use of eight common contemporary alternative medicines -- individual prayer, herbal/home remedies, group spiritual practices, meditation/visualization, health massages, chiropractic, acupuncture and relaxation/biofeedback -- in the last year.
Researchers found 88.4% surveyed used contemporary alternative medicines in the previous year. The most common used was individual prayer at 96%, herbal/home remedies at 29.5%, and group spiritual practices at 17%.
The vast majority (about 77%) said that they told their doctor what they were taking. Now why didn't they ask them about prostate nutrition, and what they were eating.?? Prostate diet is an integral part of prostate therapy.
