Infertility,
or the inability to become pregnant, plagues millions of women and their
husbands around the world. Very
often, biochemical and nutritional imbalances are the cause, and the problem
can be overcome easily by correcting these causes. When this is done, methods such as fertility drugs and in
vitro fertilization are rarely needed or helpful.
This article discusses the
causes for infertility and their correction using nutritional balancing
science.
1. Low levels of vital nutrients such as
minerals. This is common today, no matter how young or beautiful a person
appears. The causes include eating
refined and processed foods, an improper diet that is low in cooked vegetables,
in particular, improper eating habits that reduce nutritional benefits of foods
one eats, and cause such as stress that increase the need for many
nutrients. The body require
hundreds of nutrients, many of which are deficient in todayŐs food supply
thanks to the growing of hybrid crops that produce more per acre, but the
nutrient content of the food is much lower. Adequate sperm production in men is also often a nutrient-related
issue.
Low
levels of nutrients, in turn, cause hormone imbalances that are a common cause
of infertility.
2. Celiac disease,
which is the same as gluten intolerance, has been linked to infertility. This can cause many nutritional deficiencies. It is easily dealt with by avoiding all
wheat, rye, oats and barley in all forms in all types of foods.
3. Toxic metals
and toxic chemicals can interfere with pregnancy and often cause miscarriages. Today most women have some toxic
metal excesses, although often they give few symptoms. They are all around us and in places we
often do not think of, such as cosmetics, skin creams, drinking water, air,
foods and elsewhere.
Nutritional
balancing programs always target the removal of the toxic metals and chemicals
in at least a dozen different ways.
It is also done in a way that is safe, in our experience of almost 30
years, even for pregnant women.
Gently balancing body chemistry to remove them is safer and more
effective than most other methods of removing them, such as chelation,
which is not needed when the methods are used. For more about these important topics, see the articles on
this site on Chelation
Therapy and Toxic Metals.
Removing
excessive toxic metals is not only critical for becoming and holding on to a
pregnancy, but also for having a healthy baby. Today most babies are born with toxic metals, thanks to
toxicity of the mother and at times even the father.
Many problems of infants and
children, from autism and ADHD to infections and cancer, can be prevented or
minimized by removing the toxic metals and chemicals before one becomes
pregnant. This is the type of
prenatal care that is so desperately needed today, though it is not often
offered because most medical doctors are unaware of the need and also donŐt
know how to help young men and women to remove their toxic metals and toxic
chemicals safely and easily.
Nutritional balancing science offers a method that is safe, relatively
inexpensive and can be done at home.
4. Chronic
infections can interfere with a pregnancy. Many women have hidden infections that affect the ability to
become pregnant. These infections
may affect the uterus, the fallopian tubes, ovaries or other structures
involved in reproduction. Most are
not detectable on blood or other common medical test because they are very
chronic or low-grade.
Unfortunately, many are old sexually-transmitted infections.
I know this to be true because
when some women undertake a nutritional balancing program, an old infection
will flare up and then be resolved in the organs of reproduction. Resolving these infections can take
several months to a year or more.
However, they are a key to becoming or maintaining a pregnancy for some
women, and they can be a key to male reproductive health as well.
At times, I notice an emotional
pattern on a hair mineral analysis that requires correction as well. Often, a nutritional balancing program
or perhaps another healing methods can help resolve the issues involved so that
pregnancy can occur normally.
Nutritional
balancing also helpful for problems of pregnancy such as morning sickness,
gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia
and eclampsia. All these can
often be prevented, or at least minimized, by improving the health of women
before they become pregnant.
The main problem with fertility drugs and mechanical or in
vitro fertilization methods is that they do not address the deeper issue of the
complete health of the mother, and therefore the future health of the
infant.
As a result, infant mortality,
birth defects, delayed development and serious problems of children are
skyrocketing in America and around the world. This is very unfortunate, but I would say the cause is
largely medical ignorance of the issues discussed in the paragraphs above. In fact, most young women today are in
terrible health, judging by the hair mineral analyses that I review on a daily
basis. I am surprised many of them
can bear children at all. In
animal husbandry, it is well known that one problem of malnourished animals is
an inability to reproduce properly.
This applies as well to human beings.
Enhanced nutrition
for pregnant and nursing mothers, in fact, is the rule in some of the most
healthy indigenous societies around the world. They go to great lengths to nourish young women and
mothers-to-be in special ways to assure healthy, successful pregnancies and
healthy children. We can do the
same, using modern scientific nutritional methods.
Infertility a
blessing in disguise that forces a woman to care for herself better. I would urge any woman who is even remotely concerned with
fertility or ever getting pregnant to consider undergoing a complete
nutritional balancing program to improve her overall health now, even as a young teen, for
example. It can take at least five
years to remove a dozen toxic metals and thousands of toxic chemicals from the
body. This is the best way to
prevent many problems with pregnancy and to improve the health of worldŐs
children, as well. I wish that
women, and their physicians, would think about their fertility problems in this
light.
A blessing. At times, an inability to
become pregnant should be viewed as a blessing that is telling a woman she is
not nutritionally fit for pregnancy.
Avoiding pregnancy for her is helping her to avoid stress, illness and
often problems in her babies. If
she will embark on a complete nutritional program using a hair mineral analysis
to guide the correction process, in most cases she will be able to become
pregnant when her body chemistry becomes balanced.
