Toxic Infertility by Deidre Bloomquist
This is a book filled with thoughtful and practical tips to boost fertility in a natural way. While doing so, it discusses the often-overlooked factors, like environmental toxins and lifestyle choices, which grossly and silently affect reproductive health. You also will have the latest in science, of course, as short and simple steps that can make the journey to parenthood, one of joy.
The book is in two parts. In part one, the book examines the root of fertility challenges, putting it in people-friendly terms. It traverses a wide field of contaminants like heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, and radioactivity, listing the consequences that can happen to our body. Part two is about restoring our body. How to clear one's body of toxins, how to restore affected systems and parts, and what nutrients are necessary, are only some of the topics that are covered beautifully. Step by step instructions are provided, both the accessibility and affordability of the recommended programs and procedures getting special attention. A chapter on pre-conception planning, and another on hormone health, turns this book into a comprehensive guide for anyone who is thinking of the baby-way.
I also find, not only that this book is a page-turner, but also is of immense value as an academic aid, thanks to the logical presentation of ideas. For example, 'if iron anemia persists...consider the fact that all organisms utilize iron to survive, and pathogens in the gut may be stealing this nutrient from you...'. With, a writing that boasts of a conversational style and, a content with a disarming clarity of thought and an exhaustive index, the book refuses to be put down.
