 Pre conceptional Care

After years of been unsucessesful in trying to concieve after been diagnosed with Endometiosis at the age of 21 and my partner having a low sperm count. We were advised to have IVF as i had turned 32 and the clock was ticking. We were told that the chances were minimal 21%.

Me and my partner were adament that this was going to work the first time and time was not on our side so we decided to do everrything we could to make this work.

We both started a detox programme, which involved colonics, eating right and eliminating all the foods that were not good for a couple trying to concieve. and eating the foods that were good for us. Fresh fruit and vegtables , wholegrains , fish . In Fact all the tasty and lovely looking food!!!!

I had regular accupuncture. Prior to my IVF and all the way through. We were ready as we ever could be . We were very determined that this was going to work and after a rollercoaster ride we were successful and now have a beautiful boy who is now 7 months.

This experience has open my heart to all those couple out there wanting children but are unsuccessful. I decided to focus on this within my practice at Innercore Clinics Leeds where i work as a colonic hydrotherapist.

I Visited Foresight a none charitable organisation that helped couples like me and my partner. After visiting them in bognor regis i attended study and i am now a foresight practitioner. ( An association for the promotion of pre0conceptional care)

As part of preconceptual care, the above conditions are often preventable by:

  • Treating malabsorption of nutrients

  • Treating genitourinary infections

  • Discouraging the use of common social poisons e.g. cigarettes, alcohol and drugs

  • Avoidance of geopathatic stress.

 

 

The latest research shows that 1 in 4 couples have difficulty conceiving and this can have a profound effect on the emotional and psychological well being of both partners. Many couples do not know about safe holistic treatments for natural fertility and this is why Innercore are offering this service.
