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

I am 45 years old and have a beautiful five-month-old baby girl, after a western fertility doctor said I had "between a zero to five-percent chance" of conceiving with my own egg. Applying the information from this book changed my reproductive health entirely. TCM is underrated in this country. Dr. Randine Lewis, THANK YOU a million times over.

Lewis challenges us to look more closely at the truth of ancient wisdom and not be afraid to question western world thinking when it comes to health. The intuitive insight, that our bodies are built to function well when we care for and nurture them in health and balance, comes through in this work of balanced wisdom. The anecdotes are encouraging and real: some success resulting in pregnancy, others in balancing the body and recognizing there are no miracle cures. The way the text describes the body in balance and the clear suggestions for optimizing the natural functions of our body systems make this an important read for women and men who want to work efficient and effectively through the process of taking care of our fertility. This is a comforting look at what has before been treated as "mysterious medical magic" by some western medical practitioners. The fact that Lewis is both a M.D. and credentialed in TCM allows her to advocate for the best of both worlds of thought.

This book is very comprehensive to those new to the Eastern Medicine approach. It has helped me understand what my accupuncturist is doing and how it is treating my fertility issues. I am new to accupunture and herbs and this has really helped me feel a part of the solution instead of a victim of infertility. I highly recommend it.

Very informative. Love the author's perspective which is a combo of Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and a woman who has suffered through this. I have made multiple changes in my lifestyle since reading this, and feel more positive now. I can't say if they have improved my fertility (still not pregnant), but I do think I am headed in the right direction now.

An absolute MUST for infertile couples. I was fed up of western medicines answers to my 'unexplained' infertility and so purchased this book as an alternative. Within a few months of acupuncture and dietary changes, we became pregnant after YEARS of being unable to conveive. (Now my 1 year old is running around giggling at his new found ability to walk). The book makes a lot of sense and is very user-friendly. It addresses many of the known causes of infertility from both the western and eastern perspective. I had to read it a few times to really digest all of it, but I recommend to all infertile couples without reserve. It even offers suggestions for treating male infertility.
