Hello,
I am acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist in DC helping patents overcome fertility. I disagree with your comments regarding to Chinese herbs. It seems you did not spend time studying Chinese herbs. What you listed “blue cohosh, pennyroyal, and red clover” are sold by retailer here. You are treating herbs like OTC drug or vitamins. They are not. And they needs to be prescribed by herbalist based on diagnosis. Also the idea behind the herbs chosen is not because it is single herb or silver bullet. They are given to address unique constitution of patients and grouped as a team like players in football game. This medicine has been there for thousands of years and have tons of treatment records and theories. Especially recent fifties years, there are lots of research done in China regarding to the effectiveness of the herbs. So be careful to judge before you totally understand it. I just hope Shady Grove Fertility Clinic do not misguided patients because of its ignorance of this topic.
I have many patients coming from your clinic. Even though herbs given help, during the IVF/IUI cycle, I advise my patients to consult with their doctors. And I think a coordinated work can help these patients. In the end, we are all happy to see patients fulfill their dream.
