The Hidden Causes Of Infertility If you've been unable to get pregnant and your doctor can't tell you why, since all the plumbing works, chances are, you, your partner, or both of you have a biochemical imbalance. Specifically, unless three distinct trace elements -- copper, calcium and zinc -- are stored in your body in the proper amounts, it is biochemically impossible for a woman to conceive or carry a baby to term or for a man to impregnate her. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Guacamole. Chocolate cake. Green Grapes. Salmon steaks. Lobster tails. Believe it or not, eating these foods could be the cause of your problem! Fortunately, the solution is as near as your grocery store. You don't have to take potentially harmful drugs or gulp down tasteless powders to return to equilibrium. Instead, a specially designed eating plan using fresh food from the grocery store can bring your biochemistry back into balance naturally. Then, and only then, is conception possible. The results can be swift. Quite a few of my clients became pregnant in 90 days after their biochemistries returned to equilibrium. How long it takes to get into the magic zone depends on the depth of your toxicities or deficiencies. This Special Report is designed to be a biochemistry primer to help you understand the inner workings of you body. Knowledge is power. Ace the final exam and you could be elbow deep in diapers in no time. Copper: The #1 Villain In my opinion, copper imbalances are the major cause of unexplained infertility. Copper works it's evil in a number of ways.
Copper Toxicity How did American women become so toxic with copper? The trend started in the 1960s when birth control pills became widely used. Copper is a primary component of the Pill since copper helps control the ovulation cycle. Most IUDs are made of copper, too. Today, the daughters of these mothers are dutifully taking their birth control pills every morning, thus magnifying the problem. Until plastic pipes became cost effective, builders routinely put copper pipes in homes and offices. Copper can easily leach into the drinking water as the pipes age. Do you like to swim? If you spend any significant amount of time in a swimming pool, the water may be the cause of your copper toxicity. Copper is the most effective way to kill algae in swimming pools. Dumping algaecide in the pool raises the water's copper levels enough so that the trace element can enter into your skin. Finally, your diet might be the reason. Unfortunately, some of the best foods on the planet are high in copper in relation to zinc. It's possible you've been poisoning yourself and didn't know it. It's best to avoid these foods until after your pregnancy:

When they're working properly, your body is pumping. Metabolism is speedy, energy is high and fertility -- well, eat your heart out, gerbils. Unfortunately, too much calcium, too much copper or a combination of both will suppress these two vital glands. Low thyroid and adrenal function can cause infertility in itself. If the woman is lucky enough to get pregnant under these conditions, she will have difficulty carrying the baby to term. She just doesn't have the energy to go through the stress of growing a child. How do you become toxic with calcium? Typically, it is the result of too much sugar in the diet. Americans raised on Cokes (even diet Cokes) are becoming more and more insulin resistant. The pancreas secrets insulin, a hormone, whenever you eat. When the food is digested and enters the bloodstream -- in the form of a sugar called glucose -- the insulin is instrumental in transferring it from there to the cells, including muscle tissues which convert the sugar into energy. If a person is insulin resistant, the cells resist the hormone's efforts and won't let the sugars in. So the pancreas has to work overtime and secrete more insulin to do the job. People who are insulin resistant dramatically over secrete the hormone when they eat simple carbohydrates such as the sugars found in cakes, candies, ice cream, alcohol and sodas. Why is too much insulin a problem? Because, among other things, it causes the body to rob calcium from your bones, where it is needed, and deposit it in the soft tissues. Too much calcium in the soft tissues not only causes osteoporosis in the bones but also lowers thyroid and adrenal output. This is a bad scenario for hopeful parents to be. You can also become toxic with calcium by ingesting too many calcium rich foods. These include:

Zinc is the controlling element for male sexuality because it regulates testosterone levels. Testosterone levels dictate a man's (and woman's) sexual appetite, his physical stamina and his sperm count. Low zinc levels also affect the sperm's motility or ability to swim against the current. Normal zinc levels improve all of these. The old wives tales about oysters being a great aphrodisiac are scientifically correct. Oysters are loaded with zinc. They are great for men wanting to make babies. Other foods high in zinc are:
The TMA A Tissue Mineral Analysis is a scientific test that accurately measures your biochemistry. It is an Owner's Manual to your body and includes a road map that leads you back to health and fertility. This report contains the first page of my TMA which graphically pinpoints my calcium toxicity. In addition to outlining my problem, the TMA includes a six page eating plan whose sole goal is to help me return to equilibrium. It also lists the vitamins I need to take, the correct dosage for each supplement and the time of day when I need to take them to be most effective. People tell me they take vitamins. How do they know what to take? After reading my TMA, I had to say sayonara to my multivitamin tablet, which contained things like Vitamin A which made my calcium problem worse. Yes, taking the wrong vitamins can prolong your infertility in many cases. How does a tissue test differ from a blood test? Both TMAs and laboratory blood tests can pinpoint any deficiencies or toxicities in your body. However, the bloodstream's main purpose is to deliver nutrients to the body's most vital organ, the brain. Your blood will rob nutrients from the soft tissues if the body is experiencing a deficiency just to keep its chemistry perfect to nourish your brain. If you are toxic, the blood will deposit the excess in the soft tissues. I'm toxic with calcium. Sand dunes of calcium showed up on a routine mammogram in my case. This is why tissue is a better bellwether for biochemical inconsistencies than blood. The roof of the mouth is the most accurate tissue in the body for a TMA test. However, the federally licensed clinical laboratory requires two tablespoons of tissue to perform a TMA. Hair is second. I like to use hair because it's much less painful to sample! But you can select the tissue you'd like! We have easy to use TMA kits. If you would like a TMA, please phone the Fertility Hotline at (972) 390-0323 or e-mail us at bethellyn@meltdown.com |
