The Infertility Cure A groundbreaking program for treating infertility using traditional Chinese medicine – on its own or to optimize the latest Western-based reproductive technology. The Infertility Cure offers a natural way to support your efforts to get pregnant. Using easy-to-follow techniques and remedies involving diet, herbs, and acupressure, Dr. Randine Lewis shows how you can improve your overall health and well-being, strengthen the organs and systems vital to reproduction, heal specific conditions that may affect your fertility, and even support Western-based reproduction technology such as IVF and hormone therapy. With this book Dr. Lewis opens the door to new ideas about treating infertility that will give women hope as well as what they desire most – a healthy baby.

Part I addresses the differing views of Western and Eastern medicine on infertility, conception, and body requirements. It includes diagnostic tools including an interesting discovery questionnaire entitled "Why Can't I get Pregnant?"

Part II introduces the Chinese traditional medical approach to reproductive wellness, beginning with methods to achieve harmony and balance to prepare the reproductive system, attending to dietary and lifestyle adjustments, energy clearing with acupressure and acupuncture, and use of herbal remedies to promote vibrant reproductive health.

Part III addresses fertility in special circumstances where there are Western-diagnosed obstacles to fertility, such as luteal phase defect, advanced maternal age, "unexplained infertility," recurrent miscarriage, fibroids and endometriosis, male infertility, mechanical infertility, and cases requiring assisted reproductive technology. Complete, authoritative, and well written, this book can be read and appreciated by patient and physician alike.
