Conceiving and Carrying a Healthy Baby

By Ellen Valentine, CNC

It shouldnt amaze us that it is harder and harder for many couples to conceive naturally. A major reason for this conundrum is the fact that chemicals meant to kill are sprayed on crops for human consumption, chemicals are dumped into water sources and on the ground, and the eating of fast foods has become an American past-time. All of the aforementioned combined with the major stressors to achieve and make a living, polluted air, including cigarette smoking, are cause for infertility that is becoming a national phenomenon.

Alongside of those already mentioned above are the dangers of heavy metal toxification, use of medications, overuse of over the counter pain relievers, NSAIDS, also laced with metal, and traces of chemicals in the water supply, all of which add to the toxic soup fast becoming commonplace which diminish light on conception for many couples.

Many modern techniques to help couples achieve that longed for newborn are expensive, and have dangerous after effects for the parent taking fertility injections. So what to do? Are there answers out there for couples wanting to conceive and carry through with a healthy pregnancy and delivery? Yes there are. The first rule of thumb would be to go through several detoxification cleanses at least six months prior to conception. And for men this does not have to be a hardship.

More positively, a Lancet study reports that men who eat organic foods produce 43% more sperm than men who dont. A cleansing diet does not have to include weight loss for either parent unless there is a health issue with overweight. If couples are not used to eating organic, a cleansing diet could simply be to eat only organic, begin juicing organic vegetables, give up sugars and alcohol, and drink only pure water and organic juices.

Sperm factors account for at least 40% of infertility cases. Supplements that can assist men to realize fatherhood are: vitamin E, L-carnitine, Selenium, Vitamin C, Zinc, digestive enzymes, Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin B Complex, folic acid. Behaviors that should be modified are fast food, alcohol and drug consumption.

Exposure to toxic materials, high and prolonged fever, smoking, excessive and continued exposure to heat, and in some case mumps can have a detrimental effect on sperm count, sperm motility, anatomical normality and even testicular wasting. It makes sense that bad habits adversely affect any part of the body over time. If conceiving a healthy baby is important, which it should be of prime importance, then anything that is not life giving, life sustaining should be sidelined for the duration.

Common reasons for infertility in women are: blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, failure to ovulate, effect of sexually transmitted diseases, ovarian or uterine fibroids, insufficient progesterone production that allows the mother ability to carry the baby, and in some cases stress and undue fear of failure to conceive. Although rare, some women do develop an allergy to their partners sperm.

If a couple is eating a healthy organic diet, both parties welcome the thought of a new addition to the family, their lifestyle is conducive and welcoming for baby and they have not conceived for more than a year , it would be a good idea to find out exactly why medically. Action can be taken either naturally or medically if preferred to conceive and carry a baby full term.

Twenty percent of all cases show no apparent reason a couple cant conceive. If there is a just cause you can take that to a good naturopath or nutritionist and begin a regime directed toward successful conception and full-term pregnancy. A diet high in minerals and enzymes is most important, a cleansing diet for a good six months prior to conception, and living a healthy lifestyle are all things to begin practicing to become a parent.

Introducing stable and excipient-free supplements would be my next suggestion: for men: astragalus, saw palmetto, damiana and yohimbe increase sperm motility and count; for women: damiana, dong quai, false unicorn, and wild yam are all recognized historically used herbs. Keep in mind Im only suggesting herbs that have been used for centuries longer than western medicine. This is not a prescription, and if you have a medical condition, are taking medications or are hesitant in any way, do not undertake any natural regime before checking with your doctor.

Taking responsibility along with privilege, taking a stand for a clean chemical-free environment will give new babies the greatest gift: a quality life. It will ensure for all children the joy of bearing healthy babies themselves one day. Focus on health and harmony and that is what will unfold for every being for many generations to come. - 17269
