Cure Infertility—Naturally

Dear Readers,

Infertility affects many young couples (estimates are as high as ~ 1 in 6), and the prevalence is increasing. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Survey of Family Growth done back in 1995 showed 6.1 million infertile women ages 15 to 44 in the United States. According to a press release from the National Fertility Association, the data from 2002 indicates an increase in the number of infertile women in the United States to 7.3 million.

These numbers are continuing to rise as sperm counts drop worldwide and undiagnosed thyroid problems increase—so you are not alone. "It looks as if the amount of infertility in the Western world could double in the next decade," Prof. Bill Ledger, a fertility expert at Sheffield University in England, told a June 2005 meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

The good news is that by treating both the woman to increase her fertility and the man to increase sperm count, infertility can often be cured—naturally. Unfortunately, because these treatments are usually cheap, most doctors are not familiar with the research showing their effectiveness. The good news? Most of these treatments can be done on your own. We are also beginning a study (done by mail) where we will supply the treatments for free (see below) and we invite those with infertility to e-mail us for more information.

If you or someone you know is having trouble with infertility: WARNING—READING THIS ARTICLE MAY RESULT IN PREGNANCY.

INFERTILITY STUDY

INFERTILITY STUDY—Beginning Soon

Have infertility or know someone with it? Read the information in this weeks' newsletter on highly effective natural treatments for infertility. We will also begin enrolling applicants for our natural treatments for infertility study soon. So if you want more information on how to be in the study, e-mail us at EndFatigue@aol.com. We will get back to you in a few weeks (for those who have e-mailed already, we will be responding soon).

The study is open only to the first 40 couples who qualify. It will be done by mail from the comfort of your home and include lifestyle recommendations and natural supplements to increase the women's fertility and the men's sperm counts. Women will also receive thyroid hormone (and in special cases other treatments, if needed, based on the lab testing).

Who can be in the study? How long does it last?

Are There Any Costs Involved?

Can I do these treatments on my own without being in the study?

What are the benefits of being in the study?

Might I get a placebo?

RESEARCH BRIEFS

There is a large amount of research showing that natural therapies can help infertility. Sadly, because the treatments are cheap, the research is largely ignored in favor of expensive In Vitro fertilization. Also, we tend to ignore the role of the man in all of this. Here are 4 studies on raising sperm counts naturally.

QUOTE/JOKE OF THE WEEK

Medical Advice

A pediatrician in town always plays a game with some of his young patients to put them at ease and test their knowledge of body parts. One day, while pointing to a little boy's ear, the doctor asked him, "Is this your nose?" Immediately the little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I think we'd better find a new doctor!"
