Almost all of us assume that we will be able to have children, even

if we are not sure we want them. This potential is important in

fertility treatments because it profoundly affects the way we feel

about ourselves. Author has put the seed in the word "potential" in

the last statement, and tree will grow in later posts. Recently,

author watched a TV show which emphasized how difficult it is for

women over 35 to get pregnant. This is just the type of information

that perpetuates our cultural "programming" that after a certain age,

women become "too old." It is true for men too, who loose capability

or libido. And if a person is told he is insane 1000 times, he will

not believe if someone tells him opposite. The professors, scientists

and doctors are a respectable strata of the society and the

superficial level of their collective thinking, more trust on

observations and data rather than the secrets of human body has

brought us to this sorry state. We are on a suicidal path to destroy

our bright history. And only way the journey can be retraced

backwards is through you, prospective moms.

 

 

Because many couples are now choosing to postpone pregnancy until

later in life, it is important to reassure all that thousands of

women over the age of 35 have no difficulty whatsoever getting

pregnant or delivering healthy babies. The fact is that, in the last

20 years, births to women over the age of 40 have increased by 50

percent. Some of the discussion in this and few more subsequent posts

will come from spiritual ayurveda. Many think that ayurveda is

covered by Brihatrayi (Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Ashtang

Hridaya), but ayurveda's birth is in still ancient scriptures, such

as Garud Purana, Narad purana, same statement can also be made about

astrology.

 

 

In the ayurvedic roadmap to fertility there are many principles to

be borne in mind. To set them into your subconscious, read these

paragraphs daily early morning, just before taking even a cup of tea.

The mind is quiet at that time, the best time to plant some good seed

in it.

 

Most of population statistics are derived from a large group of

people having different quality of health. These parameters do not

apply to every individual. For an individual within the population,

it can actually be misleading, if not downright inaccurate. To cite

an example, allopathy often proposed a model where systolic blood

pressure (100+age in years) is considered healthy for people beyond

40. In India, there are several who regularly do yoga, pranayama etc

and they have the pressure readings 110/70 at age 80. Although it is

true that fertility rates in the population at large decrease with

age, this often does not apply to a woman whose ojas state may be

far higher than the estimate based on her chronological age. Author

was born when his mother was 42, and he has another sister 3 years

younger. Think ojas as the measure of health by bioenergy field of

the body. It is bioenergy which gets enhanced by brerathing

techniques etc as outlined in

Perhaps, telling all women over the age of 35 that they will have

trouble getting pregnant is like telling everyone over the age of 50

they will get high blood pressure and diabetes — it is simply not

true.

 

Secondly, it is possible to conceive a baby right up until

menopause. This is why every woman is told by her doctor to use birth

control for a full year after her final menstrual period. The case

referred by Susun Weed in her seminars (Message# 8914) is an example. If

you still think pregnancy at menopause cannot happen, author suggests

reading Hot Flashes, Warm Bottles, by Nancy London, MSW. This book

details the challenges faced by women going through menopause who

have babies. And most important, baby born later in life can be mentally retarded, weak, sick etc etc is simply again a statistical conclusion. If you take these cases, you will find that 90% of the time, these babies were born by ART. Author poses a question here: An ART professional puts several ovums and processed semen in a dish. not all ova fertilise. and those which fertilise are transfered to uterus, why not all grow at the same rate. after all they belonged to same batch number, manufacturing date! On the other hand, when a twin is born naturally both baies are more or less similar in health, intelligence, appearance etc as a general rule.

 

Stress is a large factor in "unexplained" infertility.

Infertility clinics capitalize on women's fears — the same fears that

are fueled by stories like the one shown in the TV show watched by

this author. Few anecdotal cases have shown that women who

participate in programs to alleviate stress — such as Yoga,

meditation, Vipassana etc have higher rates of conception or healing

their concept of fertility. Those who can get these books, please

read similar messages by western doctors in book "Healing Mind,

Healthy Woman" by Alice D Domar, PhD & Henry Dreher

and "Conquering Infertility" by Alice D Domar, PhD can also help you

relieve stress and get started on the road toward fertility.

 

 

The most common, and often interrelated factors of infertility

include irregular or lack of ovulation(amenorrhea, Vandhyatva);

hormonal imbalance causing garbhgranthi (fibroids, cysts);

Shwetpradara(leucorrhea), endometriosis (raktapradara, menorrhagia),

and immune system problems. Ayurveda can tackle all these issues,

without even a thought of hysterectomy, D&C etc. If factors such as

adhesions or blocked tubes are influencing fertility, ayurveda offers

Pankchkarma procedures to clear the adhesions as also strengthen

ovaries in their function. Fertility is also affected by dietary and

environmental factors, such as exposure to endocrine disruptor

xenohormones, residues of modern science drugs such as ibupropen. The

effect of ibupropen is documented on net far and wide. Often, simple

adjustments in these areas can make a huge difference in a couple's

ability to conceive. For those suffering from PCOS, even a loss of 5-

8 % weight as a result of hormonal balance gives satisfactory results.

 

In addition, the mind-body connection to infertility has been

acknowledged for years. The book by Swamin Sivananda of Divine Life

Society, "Manovanchhit Santati" goes very deep into this aspect. But

as a urban society we have become so technology oriented that it is

no surprise that conventional management of infertility focuses on

the body as a hormonal machine. And many couples will undergo

expensive fertility treatments, including hormone injections and in

vitro fertilization (IVF) before they even consider the emotional,

psychological and nutritional factors that could be involved. Author

has put warnings about IVF procedures in many posts at ayurveda.

 

About 20 percent of infertility cases have no known cause that can

be detected through medical testing. And conventional fertility

specialists will be the first to admit that, even with all of this

technology, they do not know who will get pregnant. Often when these

couples do the detoxification of the mind as necessary, they are

able to conceive.

 

The post will be continued further next week.
