RAISING
YOUR FERTILITY QUOTIENT WITH TCM TREATMENT
-
Timing and
consistency of treatment, whether having
acupuncture or just taking herbs, is of primary importance. Consistency
of treatment is most important for men, as to raise sperm count and
motility with herbs starts to take effect at the fourth month of
treatment. It takes 70 days to generate new sperm.
Timing and consistency is also important for women as there are specific
hormonal adjustments that can be made at each week of the cycle. Missing
a week of treatment may lose an important opportunity to heal a
particular segment of the four phase menstrual cycle. It takes a minimum
of three consecutive cycles (12 treatments) to do the foundation work of
regulation regardless of biological age. Most women can benefit from
this type of concentrated foundational treatment every two years, even
if they aren't trying to conceive. This should be started before a woman
reaches 28 years old or earlier if birth control pills have been taken.
-
If a woman is nearing
forty years old and has had either numerous fertility drugs (over 3
cycles), birth control pills, ART procedures, elevated FSH,
polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, sperm antibodies, or a history of
drug, alcohol, or smoking abuse, then it usually takes longer to balance
her reproductive system. Likewise, if a man has a history of STDs,
history of drug, alcohol, smoking, or sexual abuse, urinary tract
infections, burning urination, chronic lower back pain, prostatitis,
difficulty passing urine, or other urological health issues it takes
longer to rejuvenate the reproductive function. The extent of
rejuvenation is relative to the effort and inherent constitution of the
individual. The couple must expect to focus six to nine
months before really expecting to evaluate results. There is no quick
path when it comes to conception, full term pregnancy and recovery after
delivery. "Turning back the clock" is indeed possible.
-
If a woman is in a
state of high level wellness from a traditional medicine's point of
view (warm hands and feet and no PMS are just several indicators), and
has a "normal" active and relatively a low stress energy abundant
lifestyle, then it is appropriate to evaluate between the sixth and
ninth month of consistent treatment.
-
Biological vs.
chronological age. According to the 2,000 year
old Chinese medical classic (Nei Ching su wen ling shu) there are some
precepts of health and aging that are very important in this day and
age. Accordingly, the normal life span for humans is over 100 years.
There are documented life spans of monks that have lived in good health
to well over 150 years old. In the Nei Ching there is a dialogue between
the Yellow Emperor and an old Taoist teacher named Chi-po. Why does
medicine exist? asks the Yellow Emperor, "...because people have severed
themselves from their roots (Tao)". The reconnection between the
individual and their "roots" (spirituality) is a very important aspect
in the maintaining of youthfulness and is thereby inherent in the basic
foundation of traditional medicine. Modern science supports this in the
focus on the emerging stem cell technologies and the possible cures for
major life threatening diseases. Stem cells are found in abundance in
the umbilical cord which suggests this deep root connection to the Jing
Qi (essential energy). Understanding the root cause and quality of one's
own longevity can slow the aging process and rejuvenate the body as
thoughts can create reality. Knowing with certainty that we are an
ageless body is the basis for creating high level wellness in the modern
world. Longevity however is more than just belief.
-
Correct dietary and
exercise habits are just as important for the preconceptive mother
as for the father. Eating salads (cold nature food) for a year is not
the best diet for a person who has generally a low basal body
temperature (BBT). Sometimes eating meat such as lamb (warming food) can
help tonify a "cold" barren uterus. For male factor and unexplained
infertility there are specific physical and mental exercises to be done
by couples to generate the right environment necessary for creativity
and conception.
-
Combining
conventional reproductive technologies with
ancient acupuncture and herbal techniques demands accurate
communications between team members which includes the patient as
captain. Communication between the patient, the acupuncturist and the
reproductive specialist is a delicate process. It is important for the
physician to have knowledge of the procedures of the
acupuncturist/herbalist and vis a vis. Likewise it is important
for the patient to inform the acupuncturist of any herbs or vitamins
that are being taken while undergoing treatment, other than prenatal
vitamins. Over the counter herbal remedies might be effective in some
cases but may not be indicated for a particular cycle. Traditional
Chinese medicines and acupuncture work quite differently than western
medicines.
-
What if you have
already had a course of acupuncture treatment in the past? When
selecting an acupuncturist or any healer it is important to know that
they are suitably qualified to do fertility work. Communication,
experience and skill are important. Having a state acupuncture license
means that the acupuncturist has passed a course of study that qualifies
them as an entry level practitioner. Usually this is about a 3000 hour
training, though there are some physician programs that are only 300. A
growing number of practitioners have a greater than entry level
experience of treating couples that are integrating oriental medicine
with conventional reproductive techniques. These practitioners are to be
sought out, as treating an infertile couple demands not just general
practice but also specialty skill. General practice skills help remove
pre-existing conditions. If these conditions are the cause of
infertility then the couples fecundity quotient will be increased.
However, if either reproductive function or biological age of the
endocrine system is the primary contributory factor then specialty
skills and experience is necessary.
