A 2002 survey of US adults 18 years and older conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (CDC) the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicated:
Many people utilize mainstream medicine for diagnosis and basic information, while turning to alternatives for what they believe to be health-enhancing measures. Studies indicate that alternative approaches are often used in conjunction with conventional medicine.[3]
Edzard Ernst wrote in the Medical Journal of Australia that “about half the general population in developed countries use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).”[4] Survey results released in May 2004 by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part of the United States National Institutes of Health, found that in 2002 62.1% of adults in the country had used some form of CAM in the past 12 months, though this figure drops to 36.0% if prayer specifically for health reasons is excluded.[5] 25% of people who use CAM do so because a medical professional suggested it.[6] Another study suggests a similar figure of 40%.[7] A British telephone survey by the BBC of 1204 adults in 1998 shows that around 20% of adults in Britain had used alternative medicine in the past 12 months.[8]
The use of alternative medicine in developed countries appears to be increasing. A 1998 study showed that the use of alternative medicine had risen from 33.8% in 1990 to 42.1% in 1997.[9] In the United Kingdom, a 2000 report ordered by the House of Lords suggested that “…limited data seem to support the idea that CAM use in the United Kingdom is high and is increasing.”[10]
In developing nations, access to essential medicines is severely restricted by lack of resources and poverty. Traditional remedies, often closely resembling or forming the basis for alternative remedies, may comprise primary health care or be integrated into the health care system. In Africa, traditional medicine is used for 80% of primary health care, and in developing nations as a whole over one third of the population lack access to essential medicines.
* 74.6% had used some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
* 62.1% had done so within the preceding twelve months.
* When prayer specifically for health reasons is excluded, these figures fall to 49.8% and 36.0%, respectively.
* 45.2% had in the last twelve months used prayer for health reasons, either through praying for their own health or through others praying for them.
* 54.9% used CAM in conjunction with conventional medicine.
* 14.8% “sought care from a licensed or certified” practitioner, suggesting that “most individuals who use CAM prefer to treat themselves.”
* Most people used CAM to treat and/or prevent musculoskeletal conditions or other conditions ociated with chronic or recurring pain.
* “Women were more likely than men to use CAM. The largest sex differential is seen in the use of mind-body therapies including prayer specifically for health reasons”.
* “Except for the groups of therapies that included prayer specifically for health reasons, use of CAM increased as education levels increased”.
* The most common CAM therapies used in the U.S. in 2002 were prayer (45.2%), herbalism (18.9%), breathing meditation (11.6%), meditation (7.6%), chiropractic medicine (7.5%), yoga (5.1%), body work (5.0%), diet-based therapy (3.5%), progressive relaxation (3.0%), mega-vitamin therapy (2.8%) and Visualization (2.1%)

Master degree in 1971. Pookrum graduated from Creighton University Medical School in Omaha, Nebraska in 1975. She completed her
Obstetrics-Gynecology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit,Michigan in 1979 where she remained on staff from 1979-1981.
Wholistic Studies
A growing interest in wellness and self-Initiated healing prompted Dr.Pookrum to pursue a independent education in foods, nutrition and related subjects for six years before attending formal programs. She has completed Macrobiotic seminars, intensive workshops and lectures with
Michio Kushi and Michael Rossoff. She studied with the Fultonia Institute and Fasting Center in Chicago, Illinois where Dick Gregory developed his fasting and nutrition plan.
