Fertility Feature in Magazine

June's Alternative Medicine magazine's special section highlights the "drug free, low stress path to pregancy" and fertility. I was so excited to spot the quality article about the use of Chinese medicine for fertility. It also highlights stress reduction techniques, yoga and lists several fertility retreats.

The medicalization of fertility and preganacy often worsens the stress on our patients. This special segment attempts to teach couples how to take the stress out of a natural process. A natural process, I might add, which should really be full of passionate fun!

I have one question.
Since when has natural medicine become "alternative"?

At our office most of our patients utilize our treatments as the first line of treatment and/or integratively with industrial medical techniques. That is not "alternative". I 'd like to gently remind those who think with in the industrial medical paradigm, that we were here first. LOL But it is true. It is they who are alternative. Chinese medicine is the oldest professionally practiced medicine in the world with a written history which dates back nearly 5,ooo years! Many other natural healing techniques, like Auryveda, date back pretty far too.

Now don't get me wrong, if I have a broken leg, I am going to the hospital. But if I get a cold or flu, back pain, headaches, stress, minor depression, anxiety, menstrual cramps, allergies, IBS etc., I am going to my acupuncturist, herbalist, chiropractor or massage therapist first.

p.s. This issue of A.M. also has a section about the use of Chinese medicine to treat uterine fibroids.
