For thousands of years, Chinese women have trusted traditional Chinese medicine to help them conceive A recent medical study found that women who augmented Western fertility treatments with TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, doubled their chances of a succesful pregnancy. THE INFERTILITY CURE gives women an effective, natural means of supporting their efforts to get pregnant. Based on techniques and remedies drawn from traditional Chinese medicine, this program shows readers how to increase their overall health and well-being, strengthen the organs and systems vital to reproduction, heal specific conditions that may affect fertility, and even support Western-based reproductive technology such as IVF and hormone therapy. Dr. Lewis' easy-to-follow program begins with diagnosis, using an extensive questionnaire to determine each reader's unique diagnostic category. The next three steps involve bringing a woman's body back into balance through diet, acupressure, and Chinese herbs. By following this program, women will be able to create a welcoming physical and emotional environment for what they desire most: a child..

Being fertile and fruitful can mean giving birth to a child -- but to have a fertile soul means to give birth to the true self a woman wants to be: to live a life filled with passion, strength, joy, and adventure In The Way of the Fertile Soul, Dr. Randine Lewis outlines ten ancient Chinese medical and Taoist "secrets" that hold the little-known key to successfully conceiving babies, new dreams, and a fulfilling life for women at any phase in their lives.

The Way of the Fertile Soul encourages women to strive toward health, abundance, and a fruitful, joyous approach to life. By using diagnostic questionnaires, qi gong exercises, and guided meditations to help the reader understand how the elements of nature express themselves in her body, mind, and spirit, The Way of the Fertile Soul provides the tools to greatly increase a woman's chance of conceiving, identify imbalances, reduce stress, increase energy, and uncover her intrinsic creativity and express it fully..

BEARING THE UNBEARABLE wrestles with two of life's most painful realities, the loss or diminishment of hope and the inability of human beings to fulfill their vocation, potential, and dreams. We will focus on perhaps the most poignant cause of this, infertility, but our discussion will include other major obstacles to fulfillment. There is an innate link between the futility of procreative and potential fulfillment efforts. We will integrate western civilization's most famous infertility stories, those from the Bible, and particularly the Old Testament, with contemporary stories and your own.

Why I Wrote the Book

I wrote this book for two main reasons. First, I wanted to make the timeless insights and therapeutic applications of the Bible's infertility stories accessible to a wide audience. These can heal painful emotions and experiences, provide guidance on key decisions, and open up new ways of looking at your challenges and life as a whole. These stories transcend denominational boundaries and showcase universal emotions and experiences. They can truly be classified as world literature and every person's story.

Most books on infertility focus on emotional, social, financial, physiological, technological, homeopathic (natural remedies), and ethical issues. The spiritual aspect, which is closely linked to the others, has been largely overlooked, even though it is the aspect we have the greatest control over. Second, I have dealt with infertility and other intimate suffering both personally and professionally, and have not found literary resources that addressed my experiences and concerns. I hope this book helps you to bear whatever is unbearable in your life, be it the lack or loss of children, setbacks, deprivations, or pain of any kind..

Medical-legal consultant Randine Lewis provides lawyers with basic instruction in the practice of modern medicine, and introduces health care professionals to the process of litigation. Her goal is not to incite frivolous or excessive legal actions; instead, she hopes to enable people on both sides of a legal issue to understand how the other side will proceed toward obtaining some kind of redress. Lewis maintains that medical knowledge is lacking in most law firms and her book seeks to remedy that. With the basics of medicine clearly laid out and the risks inherent in medical treatment explained, hew book will be a hands-on desk reference not only in law offices but also in medical and health care occupations. Well illustrated, with examples, lists, and medical terms clearly explained, the book will also be useful to paralegals, nurses, consultants, and other professionals who become involved in litigation involving health care..

Description:
Cerebral cholinergic muscarinic receptors (MR) have been suggested as one of the sensitive biochemical endpoints of the central nervous system altered by developmental exposure to the widespread seafood contaminant methylmercury (MeHg). In adult rats, MeHg has been shown to alter MR binding both in the brain and lymphocytes, supporting the use of MR in blood cells as a surrogate marker of CNS changes. The effects of MeHg have been evaluated on rat lymphocyte MR binding (using [^3H]QNB as specific muscarinic ligand) in vivo (after perinatal exposure) and in vitro. For comparison, in vitro studies were also performed on human lymphocytes. Exposure to 1mg MeHg/kg/day during pregnancy and lactation (from GD7 to PND7) significantly enhanced lymphocyte MR density in both adult and young rats 21 days after delivery, with a more pronounced effect in the mothers (B"m"a"x increase of 139%) than in the male offspring (+49%) and female offspring (+73%) as compared with their respective controls (33+/-4, 41+/-8, and 37+/-4fmol/million cells), in accordance with the higher Hg levels detected in the adult blood (11.3+/-2.2@mg/mL) than in pups (1.3+/-0.4@mg/L in both genders). A lower MeHg dose (0.5mg/kg/day) was without any effect on lymphocyte MRs. In in vitro studies, MeHg was an almost equipotent inhibitor of ^3H-QNB binding to rat and human lymphocyte MRs (IC"5"0 values were 4.1+/-0.29, 5.2+/-0.51, and 5.0+/-0.9@mM for total rat lymphocytes, rat T lymphocytes, and total human lymphocytes, respectively). Notably, the IC"5"0 values for MeHg to lymphocyte MRs were comparable to the Hg levels reached in blood (5-50@mM) of the PND21 rats exposed to MeHg. The finding that the MR binding is a target for the effects of MeHg in peripheral blood cells is in accordance with our previous data in brain [Coccini et al., 2006. Effects of developmental co-exposure to methylmercury and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB153) on cholinergic muscarinic receptors in rat brain. Neurotoxicology, in press], and supports the use of this peripheral endpoint as a biomarker of MeHg-induced cerebral muscarinic alterations. The similarity of MeHg IC"5"0 binding data between human and rat in peripheral tissues suggests the possible application of such biomarker to humans exposed to environmental chemicals. .
