Among other things, the study revealed that CM use was higher among those who are female, younger age, white, higher income, and higher educational achievement. This is probably a result of inequality in access to information about CM and the ability to afford such “luxury” services.
However, we don’t believe that non-traditional methods of healing, such as yoga, vitamins, and art therapy, should be a luxury good. One of YOGABEAR's goals is to inform more people of their options, and provide these opportunities to the best of our ability. And with the support of over 50 incredible yoga studios across the nation, we’re making this a reality.
"Learning more about which CMs help cancer survivors with pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, overall psychological adjustment, and overall physical functioning is very feasible," Dr. Gansler noted. "That information could increase attention and resources for providing CMs that are helpful and reducing the time and money spent on ones that are not."
