There is a book that i consider to be the best on Food and healing – named healing with Wholefoods by Paul Pitchford. It has a levels of detail that are hard to find elsewhere, it explains good general points about diet and health, as well as the nutritional and TCM roots of many individual foods –

but, in saying all that – the article above is useful and good. Keep em coming!

Comment on Anti-depressants Linked to Increased Risk of Miscarriage by london acupuncturist

thanks, very interesting information.
It occurred to me while reading this, though, that being depressed might be the contributing factor, rather than the use of anti-depressive drugs, as the study didn’t compare the miscarriage rate in women who were depressed but not taking anti-depressants with those who were on the drugs.
However, a quick search came up with this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13678512 which suggests that depression is not a factor in spontaneous abortion.
So anti-depressants may well be the significant factor.
Worrying, as quite a few women I know who are having difficulty in conceiving are taking these drugs.

Comment on Acupuncture and IVF by Giles

A good article – there have been many articles that support the use of acupuncture for IVF. Some produce results in favor some result in there seeming to be no difference between placebo and acupuncture proper. There are inherent problems in this style of sham needling as even off the mark needling can effect the body. So my faith is more with those women or couples who have heard and tried acupuncture for fertility issues, and have had positive results – hence told others. Thanks for the article.

Hi Kelly,

Honey can be helpful but I would recommend black strap molasses as a stronger blood tonic.

Thanks!

Hi Rachel,

Can you please clarify your question?

Hi Kathy,

Good question. The study that I cited in my article “Can Ibuprofen Interfere with Ovulation?” showed that aspirin can interfere with ovulation. However, reproductive endocrinologists frequently prescribe aspirin for women who have a history of miscarriage due to clotting disorders. I have also seen a study that showed that women who take aspirin are more likely to get pregnant. So, this is one of those not so black and white answers. I would assume that low dosage is probably not problematic. If you are taking aspirin, you can test whether it is interfering with your ovulation by taking your BBT (basal body temperature) or using ovulation prediction kits. If you notice that you are ovulating late, and that your lutheal phase is shorter than 12 days, that may point to the possible problem.

Hope that this helps,
Jelena
