A NATURAL APPROACH TO INFERTILITY
For most couples, wanting to start a family is the most natural thing in the world. But in the United States, around 10 percent of women aged 15 to 44 years are estimated to have difficulty conceiving or staying pregnant. Almost half of these infertility cases are due to factors affecting the man, such as a low sperm count.
The stress of not being able to conceive a child can become overwhelming. The infertility treatments can also be very stressful, not to mention costly.
Instead of going down the medical route with fertility drugs, hormone treatments or surgery, why not try a more natural approach? Nutrition Response Testing® is a tried and tested method of discovering what underlying factors might be affecting your body’s ability to conceive.
This is from an interview with Dr. Brad Kristiansen, the Clinical Director of Ulan Nutritional Systems, the company that trained Dr. Doreen Sundin and Lisa Fritz LMT in Nutrition Response Testing.
Fertility is one of the routine challenges of women in my clinical experience. Typically, because the woman is eating sugar, she has a general inflammation throughout the body, which then generates abnormal hormonal function.
Genetically, the body knows when it’s not safe to grow a baby. That seems to be what Innate Intelligence is telling the parent. So, it shuts down the ovaries. If it’s got metals or chemicals in it, the baby sometimes will start but it will spontaneously abort early in the pregnancy.
Or the body shuts down the hormone system so there is no menstrual cycle. That’s a common occurrence these days: “I haven’t had a period in six years.”
Dr. Freddie Ulan identified five barriers to healing, which he called stressors. He developed the “Five Stressors Test Kit,” which is one of our tools, as well as the standard thirteen steps of a complete Nutrition Response Testing analysis. Sugar is in the category of “food sensitivities,” which is one of the five stressors.
Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, Jr.’s study of 900 cats was done in the 1930s. One of the test groups got sweetened condensed milk, which is obviously not part of a cat’s natural diet. Many of the cats in that group couldn’t procreate after three generations. Of course, there is much more to this study, but ultimately it showed that bad diet causes genetic changes and many serious physiological dysfunctions.
Harvard Health has reported on other studies that validate these findings.
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (especially sodas or energy drinks) was linked to lower fertility for men and women, while drinking diet soda and fruit juice had no effect.
Women who consumed high amounts of fast food and little fruit took longer to become pregnant than those with healthier diets.
If you’re having fertility issues, make an appointment with Dr Sundin or Lisa, get tested and discover what your body needs to be able to correct the problems and allow your body to heal itself and function normally.
