Fulfilling the Essence: The Handbook of Traditional & Contemporary Chinese Treatments for Female Infertility
For several years I specialized almost entirely in   the treatment of female infertility. Because of this, I found   myself constantly digging out answers for my Western patients from   the Chinese journal literature. Huge strides have been made in the   People's Republic of China in the treatment of this particular   disease. It's modern treatment is considerably different from its   traditional treatment, since modern Chinese doctors typically   coordinate their prescriptions with each woman's menstrual cycle   and use Western laboratory tests and physical exams to assess and   modify treatment. Therefore, there is a huge body of specialized   literature and outcome studies available on the latest advances in   the treatment of female infertility. As a practitioner, I knew I   could not do a professionally adequate job for my patients without   access to this literature. Therefore, I felt it was my obligation   to share this information with other Western practitioners. Female   infertility can be a heart-wrenching condition for everyone   involved. If this book helps even one family have a baby when   previously they were not able, then all the time and energy I put   into its creation will have been well worthwhile.
