The Infertility Cure: The Ancient Chinese Wellness Program for Getting Pregnant and Having Healthy Babies

This is a great book with a lot of solid information in it. It combines western and eastern medicinal views to help you get pregnant. I just recently began acupuncture, and my acupuncturist recommended that I purchase this book. During my first session, she gave me the survey out of the book to help pinpoint (haha) where my problems may lie. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling to get pregnant!

This book was excellent, gave me so much insight into fertlity and my body and convinced me that Eastern Medicine was the way to go. After reading it through I located an acupuncturist in my area www.ginamusettilac.com who specializes in infertility. I saw her for 3 months every week following the treatment that is also recommended in this book! After 4 years of unexplained infertility and many unsuccessful Western Medicine treatments, I am now 6 weeks pregnant!! This approach had everything to do with getting my body where it needed to be to conceive! The book has a wealth of information to get you on the right path!

I bought this book in hopes of gaining some insite into my fertility issues from an eastern view point. I also was interested in accupuncture and how it could help fertility issues. This book is a great resounce with lots of helpful information. I think an herbalist and accupunturist would be needed to fully carry out the recomendations. There are a lot of suggestions that you can do on your own and lots of uplifting success stories. I would love to seek out the author personally for treatment.

I first saw this book in a bookstore and immediately became interested because it went beyond touting the average information which you can get for free on the internet. The Western way of looking at health issues/problems is to treat the injured part ignoring the fact that it is connected to a whole body. The Eastern way is to look at it in relation to the whole body and likewise treating everything that is not in balance (including your emotions as necessary). It is the holistic way of looking at health that attracted me. I am suffering from secondary infertility and will be incoporating the principles including getting acupuncture in my quest for a second child. I am of West Indian origin and only now do I understand how it correlates to some of the things the older (west indian) folks would say which I previously ignored. They would talk about certain foods being 'cold' (eg. cucumbers) and why it should not be eaten after a certain time in the evening. They would talk about certain foods being heated which should be avoided if you had symptoms should as acne or sores. It is amazing that eastern philospoy is somewhat related to the west indian folk wisdom. My eyes have been opened. This is a less invasive course of treating my symptoms which basically show a lack of balance or stasis in my general and reproductive health. Thank you Randine Lewis for being so clear. Caution to the average reader this book has to be read multiple times for you to 'get' it. It is quite intense.

If you are having fertility problems and are searching for unconventional ways to overcome them, then PLEASE GET THIS BOOK! It is full of so many different things to try that a "regular" OB or even RE will never suggest you do because they might not believe they work. Simple things such as dietary changes, supplements, acupressure are in here. While I still did not conceive naturally, our third attempt with IVF was successful. The suggestions in here really did change my hormone test results and got them to levels they never would have been without the advice.
