By Tina Turner "The Doctors Wife"

Some treatments such as In Vitro Fertilisation abbreviated to IVF can be really expensive costing thousands of pounds.

In her excellent book "Fertility Secrets" she explains all about the common causes of infertility in great detail.

I have given some snippets of her no holds barred book below just to give you some idea of the topics that she covers. Controversial throughout, after listening to her Doctor husband, decided to write the book to enlighten others of some home truths to alleviate the causes of infertility.

A Good Old Fashioned Balanced Diet will Aid Fertility

"Fertilty Secrets" Book talks about Food Surveys

A good old fashioned balanced diet will increase fertility. Surveys have shown we are becoming deficient in certain important vitamins and minerals. For example, Zinc being essential to both Male and Female alike.

The Fertility Secrets book goes on to gives advice on the proper food to eat and what not to eat, including a basic hormone balancing diet.

Reading up on these tips will go a long way and will be one more step to eradicate the common causes of infertility.

Trans Fats and How They Impact on a Womans Ability to Concieve

This section deals with how trans fats impact on a womans ability to conceive. And you may be very surprised to learn that for every 2% increase in calories coming from trans fats instead of carbohydrates, women have a 73% increased risk of infertility. See the the list of what to eat and what not to eat in the "Fertility Secrets" book

Common Stress as a Cause of Infertility

Doctors Agree that Stress Causes Infertility

Our modern lifestyle is the cause of this stress and even found in children as young as 4 years old. Researchers have found that stress can cause conception problems, it can lead to depression and make it more difficult to get pregnant. Women have become pregnant after they have gave up trying to get pregnant, why? Less pressure and less stress.

Back to Basics is the Answer to Infertility

Fertility rates in the industrialised countries are plunging and nobody has yet to come up with the reason why. In "Fertility Secrets" the Doctors wife refers to this phenomenon as "non-specific infertility" and that even young couples in there prime suffer from it.

Why are third world nation people not suffering the same infertility problems? Indeed birth rates continue to climb and it seems they have more kids than they can handle. If Doctors don't understand this and to be fair it's not their department, how are we to know the best things to do and what to avoid.

AS the Doctors wife states fertility clinics are a growing industry as are pharmaceutical company's, with much to gain from our ignorance. Natural is her belief and the direction she will point you in.

Some Common Causes of Infertility can be Cured Using Acupuncture

If you are wondering how acupuncture and infertility works for one another then here are some pointers that may help.

Some of the common causes of infertility can be cured using Acupuncture.This has been found to be most effective for those people who suffer from problems like irregular ovulation, or a blockage in the sperm ducts. Some reports state that at least 90% of women who undergo acupuncture treatment get cured from infertility problems.

Acupuncture has been known to bring a miraculous cure to men and women suffering from infertility. This can include the use of Chinese herbal medicines during acupuncture treatments for infertility. When acupuncture is applied it increases the production of endorphins or brain chemicals that will aid in the reduction of stress.

Another plus with acupuncture for infertility is, it is a less expensive method for couples than the more extensive treatments like having to go through a number of physical examinations, tests and even to the extent of having to face surgery.

There have been many debates as to why acupuncture works for lots couples in treating infertility and no doubt will continue in the future. While many
people will claim that infertility will be cured by the use of acupuncture, it would be more appropriate to state that it is at the very least an important part of any infertile couples treatment.

With the passing of time, there has been a greater acceptance of the use of acupuncture and the fact that it will alleviate at least some of the common causes of infertility.

Great info on acupuncture. May or may not work depending on the couple's mental state of minds. SHould try every few days. Prior to planning to conceive, both partners should try to keep fit and eat healthily to ensure success. Stay prayerful at all times.
