Editorial Review: Product Description: For thousands of years, Chinese women have trusted traditional Chinese medicine to help them conceive. A recent medical study found that women who augmented Western fertility treatments with TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, doubled their chances of a succesful pregnancy. THE INFERTILITY CURE gives women an effective, natural means of supporting their efforts to get pregnant. Based on techniques and remedies drawn from traditional Chinese medicine, this program shows readers how to increase their overall health and well-being, strengthen the organs and systems vital to reproduction, heal specific conditions that may affect fertility, and even support Western-based reproductive technology such as IVF and hormone therapy. Dr. Lewis' easy-to-follow program begins with diagnosis, using an extensive questionnaire to determine each reader's unique diagnostic category. The next three steps involve bringing a woman's body back into balance through diet, acupressure, and Chinese herbs. By following this program, women will be able to create a welcoming physical and emotional environment for what they desire most: a child. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good information for those who think they have tried "everything"This book has a large amount of information about alternative healing but it doesn't present it in a weird new agey way. It is presented factually in a manner that is easy to read. I actually live in Houston so I checked out the clinic the author started. I was disappointed to learn she no longer treats people who cannot afford one of her $5000 K workshops. Only her partners still see patients there. However, for those not in Houston this book is helpful. The only caveat ... Read More Rating:  - Brilliantly clear and helpfulOriginally I was lent this book by a fellow infertile lady. It became my constant companion so I felt duty-bound to purchase my own copy. Randine Lewis writes about a complex and to me, new and unknown topic, with absolute clarity. Her training as a 'western' medical doctor, combined with her personal experiences of infertility convinced me that Traditional Chinese Medicine was something that I must try. I am only 33 but for reasons unexplainable by western medicine seem to have a problem with egg ... Read More Rating: - LOVE THIS BOOK!!The book makes sooo much sense. TCM is different from the traditional medicine we grow up around in the US but this book explains TCM so simply. I've had no problems understanding it. After three miscarriages and currently 41, it has given me the hope and energy to try again. I have an appointment with an acupuncturist in 4 days and can't wait to start this treatment that has helped so many others. Rating: - IT WORKS!!!!!! After 6 years, this book made the difference. I just have to share this with anyone and everyone who is trying to conceive and having difficulty. I think it's important you know my fertility background. I am now 35 years old, about 178lbs now, my husband is 36 and we have been TTC for 6 years and 2 months. About 16 months in, I decided to quit a very stressful job (which I believed was a major factor in my inability to conceive) and we conceived but I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I was ... Read More Rating: - Proven methods of fertility reviewed by a male.As a male, I bought this book for my wife (who had 3 miscarriages). I started reading the book as it promoted nutrition and health as a way of making the whole woman strong enough to conceive. I really felt for the author, Randine Lewis, after her trials of losing her babies. But was also inspired by her research, persistence and hope to conceive. I have not grasped all of the Chinese Traditional Medicine described. However, by following the nutrition, herbal and massage methods, my wife is feeling ... Read More |
