Product Description

This highly effective programme for women struggling to become pregnant draws on the proven, centuries-old techniques of traditional Chinese medicine to cure infertility. Dr Lewis explains in clear, accessible prose how any woman can identify the imbalances in her body - and how these imbalances can then be treated with a simple plan that entails lifestyle changes, diet, herbs and acupressure. On its own or in conjunction with traditional Western medical treatments, THE INFERTILITY CURE offers women hope - and what they desire most: a healthy baby.

Review
'A wonderfully authoritative answer to the collective prayers of the many thousands of women who want to have a baby but have been told that they're infertile' - Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom 'Lewis simplifies many complex concepts, such as the theory that there are four vital substances in the body (Yin, Yang, Qi, and Blood) and that they're likely to be suffering from imbalance caused by energy excess, deficiency, or stagnation' - Publishers Weekly

Essential reading for any couple considering pregnancy
Dr Lewis presents a holistic and well researched book that may bring hope to infertile couples that western medicine has given up on. Drawing on the Chinese Traditional Medicine paradigm she shows sensible (and correctable) reasons why women may not get pregnant - even though western medicine can find no reason. She gives details of treatments available for a multitude of conditions affecting fertility, from endometriosis, through PCOS and advanced maternal age, and sperm count problems and even including physical damage to fallopian tubes. She has helped many couples to have the babies they longed for and brought them better health along the way. A friend of mine had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and after doing the questionnaires in the book discovered that her very short period may be to blame. Dr Lewis suggests any woman having a period shorter then 3 days will find it difficult to get pregnant. My friends gynaecologist said a 36 hour period was perfectly normal. She is now following the recommendations in the book herself as she has no access to a Chinese Doctor as she's not in the UK. Please, if you are trying to get pregnant and are having problems, investigate this book - it could be the answer to your problems.

the cure for infertility
Having gone through the frustrations of unexplained infertility this book gives a sensible and logical insight into possible causes and solutions. It gives you, thanks to the very comprehensive explanations, a way forward. Nothing new age - just some dedication in terms of diet, lifestyle and some help with accupuncture and herbs could save a lot of expense and heartache. I cannot recommend this book highly enough - and this is the first review I have submitted! Thanks to Dr Lewis in being so generous in sharing her valuable experience.

Not only deals with infertility issues
Bought this book for my wife as a 'last' throw of the dice.From what I have gathered, it not only deals with infertility issues but also with general health that I find interesting. I used to suffer from hot feet and I found it that it may be due to liver problems in regulating body heat.
I will extend on this review which unlike the other dozens of reviews will be more in the form of a blog.
