Happy News

In September 2012, a lady booked an appointment with me as one of her friends had recommended me to her. Aged 44, she had a history of multiple miscarriages which always happened 6-8 weeks into the pregnancies. Her friend who mentioned me to her was already having fertility treatment in my clinic at that time.

She started treatment right away, with one session per week. In January 2013 she told me she was pregnant. We continued with weekly treatment sessions until we passed the critical first trimester. She decided to carry on with the treatment and I saw her every two weeks. When she was almost 7 months pregnant, she decided to stop treatments and in October 2013 she gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl.

Her friend who had started treatment with me a few weeks earlier also gave birth to a gorgeous little girl, one month before her.

These are just two of the success stories from my practice – and very happy ones, indeed.

Although I offer a wide variety of treatments - I must say that helping women to get pregnant is lovely and so rewarding.

The "Forgotten" Vitamin

Not many of us may know the importance of vitamin K for our bodies. It not only regulates blood clotting, but it also activates osteogenesis (bone formation) and can prevent osteoporosis and even certain types of cancer. Vitamin K stops the calcium in the blood to accumulate in the arteries and build up fatal plaque, thus keeping our blood vessels clean. 

Green leafy vegetables - especially kale - and salads are a good source of Vit K and help to prevent a lack of this vitamin. However, if you suffer from osteoporosis already it is worth trying a Vitamin K supplement, in combination with a diet that is low in acidity.
Patients who are taking blood-thinning medication, however, should not take this vitamin without consulting their GP!
