Problems Getting Pregnant? Cure Infertility Naturally

Infertility, or problems getting pregnant, is becoming a greater burden for couples today. Luckily, with the right tips you can cure infertility naturally.

Sometimes, this is obvious, like adopting an anti-diabetic lifestyle (prediabetes is a MAJOR cause of infertility), reducing stress and exercising consistently. Sometimes, the problem is not so obvious.

Ninety-seven (yes…pretty much all of us) of Americans have a chemical in their bloodstream that makes pregnancy difficult.  I think that most of us live in a comfortable oblivion when it comes to just how many chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis and how much effect they have on our overall health and risk of chronic disease.  But if we just ignore them, they won’t bother us, right??

Wrong.

PBDEs are chemicals used in flame retardants (furniture, clothing, dog beds, mattresses, etc…). As mentioned, the CDC states that they are present in the blood of 97% of Americans.

In this particular study, researchers tested the levels of certain PBDE’s in the blood of a group of pregnant women and asked them how long it took them to become pregnant.

Overall, the higher the levels in the blood stream of PBDEs, the longer it took for these women to get pregnant.  At the high end, those women with the higher levels in their bloodstream took 40-50% longer to get pregnant.

This further reinforces the idea that infertility is a very systemic process, and forcing a woman’s body into pregnancy through fertility “experts” with medication can be a dangerous thing.

In this particular case, if PBDEs were higher, it means that the developing baby will ALSO be exposed to higher levels.

Bottom line?  Evaluate constantly how many chemicals you and your children are exposed to and do your best to lower your exposure in any way possible.

So what changes did you or are you going to make to ensure that you had or have a healthy pregnancy?
