Description

For sample adults age 18+ in 2002 who had seen a practitioner for energy healing in the past 12 months (EHTYR) and had used energy healing to treat a specific health problem or condition (EHTTREAT), EHTTMALL indicates whether the person had used energy healing to treat allergy to medication.

Allergy to medication was one of 72 possible specific conditions that sample adults (but not sample children) could report treating with energy healing.

  • other nerve damage, including carpal tunnel syndrome (EHTTCTS)
  • dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease (EHTTDEMENT, 2007 only)
  • inflammatory bowel disease (EHTTINFB, 2007 only)
  • irregular heartbeat (EHTTIRRH, 2002 only)
  • joint pain or stiffness/other joint condition (EHTTJNTPAIN)

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (EHTTRHEUM, 2007 only)
  • substance abuse, other than alcohol or tobacco (EHTTSUBST, 2007 only)
  • varicose veins, hemorrhoids (EHTTVEIN)

Additionally, there are 31 other conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with energy healing. For the full list of conditions, see EHTTREAT.

Energy healing is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplement. Respondents could report treating allergy to medication by 14 of those methods. (The omitted alternative treatments are hypnosis and movement techniques, which were included as treatments for specific health problems in the 2007 survey only. See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of allergy to medication by other alternative therapies should see EHTYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other energy healing-related questions, as well as definitions.

Comparability

This variable is only available for 2002. Treatment of many other specific conditions by energy healing was covered in the 2007 Alternative Health Supplement, but allergy to medication were not identified as a specific condition for treatment by alternative medicine in that year.
