Description
- Infertility affects one out of six couples today. Recent books and national media have highlighted older women's difficulty conceiving.- Randine Lewis used traditional Chinese medicine to treat her own infertility, successfully conceiving and giving birth to two children. She spent two years in China working alongside Chinese doctors to treat hundreds of women with infertility. Her clinic has a 70 percent success rate.- This is the first book on this subject. Despite the number of books on infertility, there are none that utilize traditional Chinese medicine as an alternative or as a supplement to assisted reproductive technology.- A German study released in April 2002 showed that women who used a program of traditional Chinese medicine before IVF had a 50 percent greater chance of maintaining a pregnancy. Lewis' program can be followed on its own or in tandem with Western fertility procedures.
