越来越多的美国人用自然疗法替代处方药

Half of Americans have turned to a natural remedy to treat an ailment, rather than a prescription medication, according to new research.

最新调查显示，一半的美国人选择了自然疗法来治疗疾病，而不是处方药。

A survey of 2,000 Americans found one in two of those surveyed have eschewed more traditional medicine in favor of natural alternatives.

一项针对2000名美国人的调查发现，在接受调查的美国人中，有两分之一的人选择了天然替代品，而不是传统药物。

The study examined respondents’ opinions on natural remedies, cannabis, marijuana and hemp, as well as the recent increase in opioid use in the United States.

该研究调查了受访者对自然疗法、dama的看法，以及最近美国阿片类药物使用量的增加。

Results found nearly three-quarters of respondents believe natural remedies – such as cannabis, marijuana or hemp – are safer than prescription medicines (74 percent).

结果发现，近四分之三的受访者认为天然药物——如医用dama——比处方药更安全(74%)。

Another 78 percent of respondents believe that cannabis should be more available as a pain treatment – with 52 percent in strong agreement and another 27 percent in slight agreement.

另有78%的受访者认为，dama应该更多地用于止痛，52%的受访者对此表示强烈赞同，另有27%的受访者对此表示轻微赞同。

More than seven in 10 respondents, however, believed there is a negative stigma around using natural remedies for pain relief, including the use of medical cannabis.

然而，超过七成的受访者认为，使用天然药物缓解疼痛，包括医用dama，是一种负面的耻辱。

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Remedy Review, the survey also found 78 percent of respondents reported using a natural remedy at some point.

调查还发现，78%的受访者表示曾使用过天然药物。

Respondents reported choosing to use a natural remedy because it was more affordable (66 percent) and easier to obtain (56 percent) than a prescription medication.

受访者表示，选择使用自然疗法是因为它比处方药更便宜(66%)，也更容易获得(56%)。

Half of those polled who said they had turned to a natural remedy rather than a prescription also reported feeling worried they would become addicted to prescription medication.

接受调查的人中有一半表示，他们曾求助于自然疗法，而不是处方，他们还表示担心自己会对处方药上瘾。

Respondents were then asked what they felt would be efficient ways to combat the increased use of opioids across the United States – with seven in 10 respondents describing it as a “crisis.”

然后，调查对象被问及他们认为应对美国阿片类药物使用增加的有效方法是什么——十分之七的受访者称这是一场“危机”。

Nearly eight in 10 respondents agreed with the sentiment that doctors should be held legally responsible if they overprescribe opioids and patients become addicted.

近80%的受访者认为，如果医生开了过多的阿片类药物，让病人上瘾，那么他们应该承担法律责任。

The top avenue to combat the opioid crisis, according to those surveyed, is increasing regulations for drug companies and manufacturers that make opioids (59 percent).

据调查显示，应对阿片类药物危机的首要途径是加强对生产阿片类药物的制药公司和制造商的监管(59%)。

However, 79 percent of respondents also said more research is needed to fully understand the medical properties and benefits of cannabis and marijuana.

然而，79%的受访者表示，还需要更多的研究来充分了解dama和dama的医学特性和益处。

“Hemp-derived CBD offers people the chance to find relief without fear of addiction,” said Marc Lewis, Executive Editor of Remedy Review. “But with this promise comes a need for more clinical studies, industry oversight and clear quality standards to govern production.”

“dama衍生的CBD给人们提供了一个不用担心上瘾就能得到放松的机会，”《补救评论》的执行编辑马克·刘易斯说。“但与此同时，我们需要更多的临床研究、行业监管和明确的质量标准来规范生产。”

More people than you think are using products that contain compounds derived from cannabis, however, as 69 percent of respondents reported using a product that contains cannabidoil (CBD) at some point in their lives – with 33 percent currently using one.

然而，使用含有dama化合物的产品的人比你想象的要多，69%的受访者表示在他们的生活中曾使用过含有大麻二酚(CBD)的产品，33%的人目前正在使用这种产品。

Although CBD is not illegal, 46 percent of respondents incorrectly believed CBD products are fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

虽然CBD并不违法，但是46%的受访者错误地认为CBD产品已经完全通过了食品和药物管理局的审批。

In reality, the FDA has only approved one prescription drug product and has not approved any other CBD products.

事实上，FDA只批准了一种处方药，没有批准任何其他CBD产品。
