Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Lewis, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, believes infertile couples should turn to Chinese medicine as an alternative to what she considers painful, invasive and time-consuming Western treatments. She first explains, "Traditional Chinese medicine holds that a woman's body must be gently nourished and encouraged to bear fruit.... I have found that most hormonal imbalances (which contribute to 40 percent of documented cases of infertility, yet are considered untreatable by conventional Western medicine) respond to Eastern methods of treatment." In Lewis's experience, women who have undergone three to six months of the dietary changes, herbs and acupuncture treatments become pregnant with no further effort. Lewis intersperses her somewhat technical examination of the program with anecdotes about her patients, weaving in discussions on diet, herbal supplements, acupuncture, older women and problems related to infertility. Lewis writes well and 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. However, she trusts that her view is the solution for all infertile couples. Readers with infertility issues may well benefit by adopting some of Lewis's strategies, but they would also be wise to discuss her approach with their doctors before abandoning their current treatments. 41 line drawings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, Nov 15 2009
By Mona Lisa (Canada) - See all my reviews
My doctor recommended this book because I was complaining of general ill health with no seeming reasons and I was infertile. I thought my problems were hormonally related . I found the book confusing at first but it was a starting point to find a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and accupuncture. It also explained more about the functions of hormones and how they affected my health. I made some of the changes recommended and I started to feel better. We'll see about getting pregnant (I only started 3 weeks ago).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Infertility Cure, Jul 14 2009
This book offers an alternate way to deal with not only infertility issues, but also finding hormonal balance. It also offers suggestions on proper diet and ways to stay healthy if you are having issues related to your hormones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book and resource!, Aug 5 2007
By Tina Christie "www.tinachristie.com" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Infertility Cure: The Ancient Chinese Wellness Program for Getting Pregnant and Having Healthy Babies (Paperback)
This is wonderful book for both practitioners and laypeople alike. I initially found this book through a patient and have used it extensively with every fertility patient I've seen since then. Dr. Lewis has information that ranges from dietary changes that anyone can get started with immediately to Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns in infertility and acupuncture protocols that any practitioner who uses acupuncture can use. This is also a great book for patients to bring to their doctors, naturopaths or acupuncturists. Acupuncture and (sometimes) herbs are now being encouraged by many mainstream fertility clinics and this book allows me to have much of the information I need at my fingertips.

If you are trying to become pregnant or if you are a practitioner that uses Traditional Chinese Medicine with your patients, this book is a must.
