Infertility

Inability to become a natural parent has many possible causes, some of which can be effectively treated by acupuncture.

Before having acupuncture for infertility, a couple should have thorough physical examinations to rule out anatomical causes of infertility. These should be corrected if possible. Unless both partners have the anatomical requirements for reproduction acupuncture cannot be helpful. Most drugs reduce fertility and should be eliminated if possible.

Acupuncture, along with nutritional treatment, can raise a man's sperm count considerably and make a woman's reproductive organs more receptive to conception and pregnancy. Acupuncture should be discontinued after conception, but the nutritional program should be continued by pregnant women. Acupuncture is the safest anesthesia for childbirth.

Aspirin and most other drugs may cause miscarriage and fetal abnormalities, especially during early pregnancy. Masculine fertility may be increased by vitamins of the B Complex, large doses of vitamin C and vitamin E. Even larger doses of vitamin C may be required to help a woman maintain a pregnancy if she has a tendency to miscarry.

Acupuncture is also an effective treatment for male impotence and female inability to enjoy sexual relations.

A few weeks ago my wife, Carolyn Pickles ( whose business card I enclose), was luckily enough to visit your hospital with a group of women attending the United Nations Women's Conference. She spoke to you about my medical condition (secondary cancer tumours in both lungs as a consequence of colon cancer that was removed surgically five years ago) and you suggested that I should try your No.3 prescription-Super Youthful Vigor Protector Infusion (Antipyretic and Detohicant Pills). She brought a bottle of the pills back with her and I would like to obtain a continuing supply. Can you tell me how this might be arranged, what the cost would be and how you would like payment to be made. I have just completed a six month course of chemo-therapy which has had the desired effect of shrinking the tumours and I am keen to try any other form of more natural treatment that might assist in my recovery. I would be most grateful if you could help me.
