End Fatigue
Infertility
Fortunately, unless there is structural problem such as a blocked fallopian tube or absent ovaries, infertility can often be treated effectively and inexpensively using natural therapies.
Begin by realizing that both the man and woman should be treated—even if their tests are normal.
By optimizing fertility in both of you, you improve your odds. The full list of treatments that I recommend, and detailed directions for use can be found on my web site. But let's go through a few of the key treatments right now.
For women, began by avoiding excess caffeine and alcohol, and do not take over 1000 mg of vitamin C daily. A high-protein diet such as the Atkins approach can also inhibit fertility. Be sure that you are taking a high potency multivitamin that has at least 50 mg of vitamin B6 and 400 micrograms of folic acid, and be aware that even a modest iron or thyroid hormone deficiency can result in infertility—even if your blood tests are normal. We recommend our Energy Revitalization System - Berry or Citrus.
For men, many nutrients have shown to improve sperm count and function. This is important as there has been over a 50% decrease in sperm counts over the last 50 years. To increase sperm counts, use a multivitamin which includes vitamin C 500 - 1000 mg a day, selenium, zinc, and vitamin E. In addition, add Astragalus, high-dose vitamin B 12, coenzyme Q10 - 200 mg, arginine 4-9 grams, and acetyl l-carnitine 1500 – 3000 mg daily. Each of these can markedly improve sperm function and I would use all of them simultaneously.
