Informative E-Book & Related Newsclips
(Prints out to 10 pages)
This unique compilation provides extensive information about infertility, not found in one compilation elsewhere -- including natural and other cures -- as a public service for information purposes only.
The author is a researcher and writer, not a medical professional or scientist. Sources of this information are cited, alphabetically by author, in the End Notes following this material, and in "Statistics of Adoption," a free e-book also on this web-site.
Consultation with a qualified physician, and nutritionist or herbalist, is recommended. Adoption, sperm or egg donation and surrogacy which are promoted by infertility web-sites and organizations such as RESOLVE INC, are neither cures nor treatments for infertility, and are NOT recommended.
The human body is designed to heal itself with proper nutrition. Although there are no guarantees, many couples find success following the nutritional principles offered here which may avoid the heartache and great expense of failed or high risk technical, chemical and surgical treatments.

GOOD NEWS FOR WOMEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE
For 1-in-5 women experiencing difficulty getting pregnant, the underlying problem is anovulatory infertility (infertility caused by a failure to ovulate). But scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health tracked more than 18,000 women and found that those who consumed one or more daily servings of full-fat dairy foods (such as milk, ice cream or yogurt) slashed their risk of anovulatory infertility by up to 38%. While more research is needed to pinpoint the beneficial compounds in milk fat, experts note that, for women hoping to conceive, it doesn't hurt to make the switch to full-fat dairy.

THE INFERTILITY DIET:
Get Pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage
by Fern Reiss
The author advises avoid Milk (galactose, a milk sugar is linked to infertility), avoid megadoses of Vitamin C (C contains an antihistamine that can dry out cervical fluid neeed for sperm to reach egg); but eat Pumpkin Seeds (high in B6-- protects estrogen, and Zinc--fights candida albicans & miscarriage).
We already know that there are medical benefits to be gained from a healthy diet. The prevalence of diseases such as cancer and heart disease have been altered by diet, so why not infertility? If you're having problems getting pregnant, Fern Reiss's Infertility Diet is a great place to begin.
- Dr. Alan Penzias, Boston IVF and Harvard Medical School
This unique approach should have been addressed long ago! This book is a nice adjunct to fertility evaluation and treatment, as well as prevention of miscarriages.
