Natural Solutions to Western Infertility Diagnoses

How We Treat Western Fertility Diagnoses Naturally

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormones play a significant role in a woman’s menstrual cycle. If there is not enough estrogen early in the cycle, the eggs won't mature adequately. If there is too much estrogen later in the cycle, the uterine lining won't develop properly. Many hormonal problems are the result of slight imbalances in the delicate endocrine system. Modern diagnostic techniques may not detect any clinical abnormality or functional problem, yet this undetectable irregularity may be the root cause of your inability to conceive.

Our evaluation process will detect deficiencies and imbalances that need to be corrected in order to balance the hormones and your endocrine system. Most of these problems can be healed naturally, or at least improved upon, using four elements of traditional Chinese medicine: diet and lifestyle, acupuncture, herbal therapy, and structural integration (a modern western version of Chinese Tui Na massage).

Luteal Phase Defects

When a woman is told she is experiencing a luteal phase defect, she is given progesterone to “cure” the problem. And, if a lack of progesterone was the true cause of luteal phase defects, then the addition of progesterone would resolve the problem. Oftentimes it doesn’t. Our program has successfully helped women to restore the delicate hormonal balance required after ovulation, regulate their menstrual cycles, and resolve the host of other symptoms associated with luteal phase defects. And most importantly, they have become pregnant, carried a healthy baby to term, and realized their dream of motherhood.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

Our Integrated Dynamic Fertility Program™ treats PCOS with an integrated approach consisting of dietary and nutritional counseling, structural integration, self-massage exercises, and acupuncture to improve blood flow to the ovaries; as well as the use of essential oils and herbal remedies to balance the hormone levels thus inducing healthy ovulation while also addressing the issues of stress. Our experience has been that often PCOS can be relieved naturally.

High FSH, Old Eggs, Donor Egg Candidate

Dr. Randine Lewis, author of The Infertility Cure, states, “These are the most devastating reproductive diagnoses a woman can receive…. Yet, nobody starts out with these diagnoses. Most women end up with these labels after years of failed reproductive treatments.” At the Natural Fertility Health Center, we understand your devastation. We see women after they have been demoralized and despair they will never become a mother to their own genetic child. Are you ready to listen to your own internal wisdom? Do you really want any child, at any cost? Or can you allow yourself the gift of reclaiming your reproductive, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health? Our Integrated Dynamic Fertility program™ has helped women conceive naturally and carry babies to term, who had previously experienced high FSH levels or been told by their reproductive endocrinologists to either consider donor eggs or start the adoption process. At the Natural Fertility Health Centers, we are experts at helping you navigate the course toward your FertileSpirit™.

Endometriosis

No one is clear what causes endometriosis. Endometrial cells line the inside of the uterus. This lining is shed each month during a woman menstrual cycle, if she is not pregnant. Endometriosis is an inflammation that occurs in tissue similar to the endometrium, but located outside of the uterus. Thus, it is not shed each month, but continues to inflame and can lead to scarring and lesions. Each month’s menstrual period becomes painful as the body mounts an immune response to what it perceives as foreign tissue. This immune response will attack any foreign tissue, including an embryo, thus exacerbating fertility problems. We help women significantly resolve endometriosis through acupuncture, herbs, diet and supplements, self-massage, and specialized visualizations and breathing exercises.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are the number one reason American women have hysterectomies. Although their causes are unknown, estrogen promotes their growth. They are known to hinder the implantation and growth of an embryo as well as cause fetal deformities and labor problems. Oriental Medicine identified the treatment for uterine fibroids a few thousand years ago. Chinese physicians postulated that they were caused by obstructions in blood flow to the uterus. Our program successfully treats and resolves many fibroids through the use of acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, structural balancing, self-massage, and special breathing techniques coupled with healing visualizations.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Blocked fallopian tubes are considered a major cause of fertility problems. Our successful protocols for treating blocked tubes consist of acupuncture, specialized massage techniques, structural balancing and soft tissue therapy, self-massage, and special breathing techniques coupled with healing visualizations.

Recurring Miscarriage

At the Natural Fertility Health Centers we understand the depression and guilt that follows a miscarriage. Regardless of whether a miscarriage is caused by endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or unexplained causes, the pain and emotional stress is the same. Our protocols help to significantly reduce the incidence of miscarriage by boosting the woman’s immune system, clearing up underlying endocrine and hormonal problems, and addressing stress reduction with the use of acupuncture, herbs and nutrition, structural balancing, self-massage, and special breathing techniques coupled with healing visualizations. We help a woman reconnect with her FertileSpirit™ and thus be able to carry a healthy baby to term.

Don’t despair goodbyes
Farewells are necessary before you can meet again.
