Overview

A new field of reproductive immunology offers hope to infertile couples

According to this reference from a leading authority who has worked with more than 7,000 couples, women who have experienced difficulty conceiving or multiple miscarriages may be suffering from treatable dysfunctions of their immune systems. Providing details that are both technical and accessible, this book explains how chemical therapy can temporarily regulate immune responses that might otherwise unleash "natural killer cells." Sections cover the most common and adverse immune problems, including tissue compatibility, blood clotting defects, and antibodies that fight sperm, fetal cells, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and also outline clinical protocol for comprehensive immune testing. The discussion incorporates the author's own dramatic account of his clinical breakthroughs, the rejection of his ideas by mainstream medical practitioners, and his research showing that failed in vitro fertilization (IVF), infertility, and repeated miscarriages are often the result of abnormal immune reactions.
