It won't amaze us that it is harder and harder for many couples to conceive naturally. Several reasons for this heart break stem from the facts that chemicals meant to kill are sprayed on crops used for food, chemicals are flagrantly dumped into water sources and on the ground, and the eating of fast foods has become an American past-time. All of those mentioned, plus major stressors to achieve and make a living are exacerbated by polluted air, including cigarette smoking, are cause for infertility that is becoming a national epidemic.
Along with the reasons for inability to conceive mentioned, are the dangers of heavy metal toxification, taking medications, overuse of over the counter pain relievers, NSAIDS, also laced with metal, and traces of chemicals in the water supply, all of which add to the toxic soup diminishing light on parenthood for many couples.
Many modern techniques to help couples achieve that longed for newborn are expensive, and have dangerous after effects for the parent taking fertility injections. So what to do? Are there answers out there for couples wanting to conceive and carry through with a healthy pregnancy and delivery? Yes there are. The first rule of thumb would be to go through several detoxification cleanses at least six months prior to conception. And for men this does not have to be a hardship.
More positively, a Lancet study reports that men who eat organic foods produce 43% more sperm than men who dont. A cleansing diet does not have to include weight loss for either parent unless there is a health issue with overweight. If couples are not used to eating organic, a cleansing diet could simply be to eat only organic, begin juicing organic vegetables, give up sugars and alcohol, and drink only pure water and organic juices.
Sperm factors account for at least 40% of infertility cases. Supplements that can assist men to realize fatherhood are: vitamin E, L-carnitine, Selenium, Vitamin C, Zinc, digestive enzymes, Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin B Complex, folic acid. Behaviors that should be modified are fast food, alcohol and drug consumption.
Exposure to toxic materials, high and prolonged fever, smoking, excessive and continued exposure to heat, and in some case mumps can have a detrimental effect on sperm count, sperm motility, anatomical normality and even testicular wasting. It makes sense that bad habits adversely affect any part of the body over time. If conceiving a healthy baby is important, which it should be of prime importance, then anything that is not life giving, life sustaining should be sidelined for the duration.
The most common reasons of infertility for women are: blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, failure to ovulate, effect of sexually transmitted diseases, ovarian or uterine fibroids, insufficient progesterone production that allows the mother ability to carry the baby, and in some cases stress. Although rare, some women do develop an allergy to their partners sperm. In that instance their body produces antibodies that actually destroy the sperm in the cervical mucous.
When partners are eating a healthy organic diet, they both welcome the thought of a new addition to the family, their lifestyle is conducive for a baby and yet they have not conceived for a year, it would be a good idea to find out exactly why medically. Steps can be taken either naturally or medically if preferred to conceive and carry a baby full term.
Twenty percent of all cases show no apparent reason a couple cant conceive. If there is a just cause you can take that to a good naturopath or nutritionist and begin a regime directed toward successful conception and full-term pregnancy. A diet high in minerals and enzymes is most important, a cleansing diet for a good six months prior to conception, and living a healthy lifestyle are all things to begin practicing to become a parent.
Introducing stable and excipient-free supplements would be my next suggestion: for men: astragalus, saw palmetto, damiana and yohimbe increase sperm motility and count; for women: damiana, dong quai, false unicorn, and wild yam are all recognized historically used herbs. Keep in mind Im only suggesting herbs that have been used for centuries longer than modern medicine. This is not a prescription. If you have a medical condition, are taking medications or are apprehensive in any way, do not take herbs before checking with your doctor.
It is important to use this information as it best suits you, the reader. Not only is it our responsibility to bring healthy children into the world, as part of the global community we have the privilege and the responsibility to demand chemically free foods, water and air. Doing so will give an expected child the legacy and joy of bearing their own children and living on a glorious green earth. |
