The following is a breakdown and explanation of what we would call a - three-month cleansing/ovulation shutdown/restoration and weight loss program.

According to Dr. John R. Lee, MD it is sometimes necessary to shut off the ovaries for a few months to allow the body to heal.

PCOS, PCOD, short luteal phases, ovarian cysts, and other similar fertility issues will impede the bodies ability to conceive.

Add to this the need for cleansing the liver and colon, according to traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine wisdom through the years, and you have a powerful plan to achieve fertility naturally AND safely.

We have put this together over eight years through the study of alternative medicine and traditional folk uses of herbs and for restoration and building of the body.

In this case, of course, we focus on finding information to support these actions in the reproductive department.

It is our wish to help you conceive, as many others have, naturally.

The purpose of this program is:
A: To cleanse the major organs of the body which in some way will affect the reproductive system and often allow the body to produce life again.
This does not mean it takes only three months, but it is a good amount of time to make changes.
We will target liver cleansing and colon cleansing for this, and provide tips for healthier eating to support this effort.

B: To restore cyst covered ovaries by shutting off FSH and LH surges for these three months.
This focuses on PCOS, PCOD and the potential for cysts due to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone or testosterone and estrogen.
The hope is to restore the ovaries, for cysts to atrophy and for proper ovulation to resume without ovarian cysts preventing it. (see disclaimer.)

Since elevated prolactin, testosterone and estrogen levels affect FSH and LH balance AND cysts, this is important for overall hormonal health NOT just for the cysts.
Many say I don't have cysts.
This may be true but shutting down is a natural way to prevent conception during this time while building the body into a healthy home for your baby to come.
This is not recommended as a method of birth control in the BCP [birth control pill] sense.
It is also NOT natural family planning.

C: Lastly, to lose weight or change eating habits and to give the body proper nutrition which again can make for a better ovulation and a healthier baby.
We believe the true love of a mother and father is to love their baby before conception even occurs; enough to give the baby a healthier start in life.
The healthier the start, the better the health after birth.

Infertility is a global public health concern and affects approximately 10% - 15% of couples worldwide. This condition may stem from numerous anomalies in the body, ranging from infections and cysts in the ovaries and reproductive tract, to the disproportionate secretion of hormones by the glands. Infertility treatments are many, and are of various kinds. The best way to tackle it is to identify the exact cause of this condition and then alleviate it.

Available infertility treatments include:

• Treating APA's. APA's cause blood clots and prevent implantation. A low dose aspirin therapy works wonders when treating APA's in the blood. For graver cases, anticoagulants are used to thin out the blood and improve blood circulation in the uterus.



• Removing natural killer cells. Natural killer cells present in excess begin to attack the embryo. An intravenous treatment of gamma globulin, intralipid infusions and steroids are often used in this case.

• Treating Antinuclear Antibodies (AA's). Abundance of antinuclear antibodies in the body is treated with steroids, intake of herbs that increase circulation, intake of antioxidants, zinc supplements, alkaline generating food and reducing the levels of stress. Balancing the responses of the immune system is the key to treating AA's.

• Treating antisperm antibodies. To suppress the reactions in the body caused by antisperm antibodies interacting with the sperm, low doses of steroids are often made use of.

• Treating age related infertility. Since age is a possible threat to female fertility, infertility treatments involving care of the kidneys and the spleen will help a woman keep the age related problems of pregnancy at bay.

• Treating infections that hinder pregnancy. Antibiotic treatments to exterminate the harmful bacteria from the body are recommended by most doctors who conduct IVF's. Nutritious food and immune enhancing supplements are used to prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the body. When detected in one partner, antibiotic treatments for harmful bacteria must be carried out in both partners since they are likely to have infected each other during intercourse.

• Treating the high prolactin levels in the body. Normally, to treat the elevated levels of prolactin in the body, natural remedies are suggested. These natural remedies include the intake of vitamin B, zinc and magnesium supplements, exercising, staying away from alcohol, and lowering the levels of stress. The intake of rebalancing hormones like Chasteberry, etc. is also helpful. Qi moving herbs are also quite helpful in these cases.

• Treating leutal phase defects. In case of dealing with leutal phase defects, fertility drugs like Clomid, etc. are prescribed for boosting the levels of progesterone, which enable pregnancy. However, medicines such as these are bound to have side effects, and to avoid these said side effects, it is always beneficial to opt for natural methods of treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers good help in these cases.

• Treating tubal blockages. Laparoscopy is performed to remove small areas of blockage, however if that fails, In Vitro Fertilization is an option.

• Treating sperm problems. Fertility drugs are available that enhance sperm production, and improve motility. Since sperm motility is one of the major factors affecting pregnancy, treatments in males are incomplete without looking into this.

Infertility treatments are possible with the whole new range of medicines that is available to the public these days, but it must also be kept in mind that these treatments can be painful, often come without harmful side effects and the results are far from guaranteed. On the other hand, following the holistic approach with a healthy diet, regular exercise, abstinence from alcohol, nicotine and other drugs, stress management, acupuncture etc. can almost guarantee positive and fast results.

Women suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – a complex disorder of the endocrine system affecting more than 1 in 15 women worldwide and rising, according to a 2007 report by The Lancet – often find themselves desperately seeking relief from their myriad of symptoms, including: infertility, increased risk of miscarriage, weight gain and obesity, increased hair growth, acne and multiple small cysts in their ovaries.



Diagnosed with PCOS at just 17 years old, now internationally acclaimed author, PCOS expert and experienced clinician, Dr. Rebecca Harwin suffered for years at the hands of this devastating disorder. “I was given no useful advice. My doctors told me that I might need help if I wanted to have children and to come back then to be put on medication. That was it,” Harwin remarked.

“I then suffered with the excessive weight gain and obesity, and the frustration of years of trying unsuccessfully to lose weight and keep it off, that often comes with PCOS. I didn't have a natural period or ovulate for more than 15 years. I had acne, and excessive hair growth, mood swings, hot flashes; I was tired and had low self-esteem. I was the epitome of PCOS, and I hated it!”

Typical treatment protocols for PCOS include a whole host of medications. From birth control pills and insulin-sensitizing medications to ovulation induction, anti-androgen medicines and topical medications, many of these conventional treatment paths can prove both ineffective and even toxic to the body.

In a desperate search for a better way, Rebecca Harwin slowly and systematically developed a newer, natural approach to PCOS relief – a method she’s now compiled into an exhaustive treatment plan online and in her new book, ‘Conquer Your PCOS Naturally’.

“I won my battle against PCOS and I did it without the invasive treatments, toxic chemicals and ineffective interventions that current medicine has to offer. I lost approximately 20kg, and have kept it off. My period returned, and I remember exactly where I was the first time I ovulated. I no longer suffer from acne, mood swings, hot flashes, my energy levels are balanced, and my excessive hair has reduced.”

Dr Harwin’s motivation? “I knew many other women were suffering just as I had done and I also knew there was very limited accurate information available. I realized I had a responsibility to get this powerful information into the hands, minds and hearts of other women with PCOS. My book ‘Conquer Your PCOS Naturally’ is dedicated to helping women regain their health, boost their fertility, restore their period, lose excessive weight, and live a PCOS-symptom free life,” she said.

Still a movement in its infancy, the ‘Conquer Your PCOS Naturally’ approach is already enjoying a steady a stream of accolades and affirmations from PCOS patients and medical professionals across the globe.

According to Stacy Miller of Raleigh, North Carolina, the book has been “life changing”. After feeling “lost in a sea of information” following her diagnosis for over a year, Miller found that reading the book armed her with the information she needed to reduce her disease risk and improve her fertility. “I feel now that I have the power to control my body, instead of continuing to let my body control me,” she said.

Dana Adams, a PCOS sufferer and recent convert to the natural treatment path, agreed and pointed out that ‘Conquer Your PCOS Naturally’ is the first thing she’s read on the subject that didn’t leave her mystified. “One can certainly mine the internet for information, but be warned, you will be overwhelmed with an astounding amount of recommendations of supplements, medications, therapies and the like. While there are some books out there that address the issue of PCOS, Dr. Harwin [looks] at your health and wellness as a whole, giving excellent advice on nutrition, stress management, food toxicity, supplements, exercise, and the holy grail for those of us trying to conceive, fertility. [It’s] one of the best books I have read on the subject.”

Dr. Joel Fugleberg, himself a proponent of natural treatment alternatives for PCOS sufferers, called the book not only a must read for PCOS sufferers, but also for the “health care provider looking to broaden their own understanding of this condition.”

Dr. Michael Elstein of the Eternal Health Medical Center in Sydney, Australia, agreed by commenting, “I love this book’s clarity and precision. This is a book not only for the layperson suffering from this disorder but also for the professional who wants a definitive guide for treating it.” Elstein also added, “What I love about Dr. Rebecca Harwin’s book is that it is a simple easy to read journey through all the natural means of attacking what is arguably the number one metabolic and hormonal disaster that is compromising the lives of so many women.”
