Overcoming Infertility Naturally: The Relationship Between Nutrition, Emotions and Reproduction

Bradstreet's book has been a god send! after years of struggling with poor digestive health and recurrent miscarraiges and infertility i read her book and came upon candida as a possible problem. i am still not pregnant but treatment of the candida, which i did have, is going well and i hope to achieve a full term pregnancy sometime this year. THANK YOU KAREN

This book was amzaing! It was packed with so much information about natural remedies to try if you are having a hard time conceiving. I have read several books of this type and this is the first one to put things in non-medical terms where you could actually understand them. I have a Biology major and still some books are difficult to understand, but not this one. Bottom line - I want a list of things I could do or try and this book gives it to you. In the process, Karen talks about Candida which can cause people to be infertile. I came to find out from her symptom list that I had this and that was what was giving me my infertility problems! I might not have ever figured out what was causing it. The doctors just kept trying to treat the symptoms instead of finding the root cause. The vitamin and herb chapter was very informative and helpful. I might go look at an actual book on herbs to find out more information about the ones she identifies. Overall I think the book is very useful for those who are frustrated with not being able to conceive. She talks about emotions as well in the infertility cycle. I was throughly impressed. My other major was psychology and she really hit on some issues that most people don't (or won't) talk about when it comes to dealing with emotions. This book is also very concise so it wasn't hard to sit and read in one sitting.

Who knows if it was this book or not, But after reading this book and following her ideas on vitamins to take-- I got pregnant! My husband and I both started taking a whole bunch of vitamins- and I got pregnant the next month. We had been trying for almost a year before this. I picked this book up for 10 cents at a yard sale and I swear her ideas on vitamins to help regulate things in your body were great- it did the trick for me! It has a lot of great information and I definitely recommend it.

I think this book is great as it is extremely informative and encompasses a total approach to overcoming infertility and preventing miscarriages. She explores natural causes of infertility and miscarriages (nutrient and hormonal deficiencies) and how to treat it with specific nutrients, chinese herbs and cleansing programs. I LOVED this book as she wrote about studies overcoming infertility and miscarriages which were extremely successful once certain nutrients were added to the diet. I have read a lot of books about miscarriage and there are only a couple that talk about natural causes. Most books out there only talk about it in medical terms and treat the symptoms rather than the actual causes. I have read this book twice! It gives me a lot of hope.
