About this work
Description
Recommend alternative to the prevalent fertility medicine practiced today : "aggressive surgical, chemical, and technological intervention." Starting by identifying "fertility types," Dr. David, an reproductive endocrinologist, and Ms. Blakeway, founder of the YinOva Center, discuss common causes of fertility problems, making lifestyle choices that enhance fertility naturally, and offer specific strategies for varying situations, some surprising, such as douching with baking soda, taking an over-the-counter cough medicine or low-dose aspirin, gaining or losing a few pounds, decreasing doses of fertility drugs, or acupuncture.--From publisher description.
