why wont my doctors investigate my rescurrent miscarriages?
i have been to see 5 doctors at my surgery and all of them keep telling me to just keep trying and that its bad luck and my age causing the miscarriages.
after having 3 in 3 and the doctors telling me there is a 1 in 4 miscarriage rate.
now i am conceiving but not carrying the pregnancy past 5 weeks.
they did tests on my second miscarriage just swabs and blood count checks etc and said everything was normal.
but 3 miscarriage has left me in fear that my next pregnancy will also be a miscarriage.
is there a natural remedy i can take to help keep my next baby in my womb.
thankyou so much.
im 37 and my husband is 36 but i will be 38 in 3 months.
ive asked them over and over if something can be done and they say well i have two children (aged 17 & 13) and i even said shall i come back as soon as i do fall pregnant and they said no need.
im sure something can be done and im hitting brick walls with my doctors..they just dont seem to care 🙁
Michelle answers:
I cant even begin to imagine what you’re going through. Please dont blame yourself for what’s happening, mother nature can be really cruel at times. Do you have children already? If not, then something really needs to be done as you cant keep going the way things are. Hope you dont mind me asking , but how old are you? I would ask to been seen by your local gynaecology unit to see if there is a reason why your body keeps rejecting the pregnancies. Just keep pushing the doctors, as somethimes with these kind of things they give the impression that they cant be bothered and they’ll keep telling you ” it’ll happen in it’s own time”. Good luck, i’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get good results

Sandra asks…
pupps during pregnancy?
okay I was diagnosed with pupps which is apparently a terrible rash that about 1% of pregnant women get. I talked to my widwife and she said there was nothing I could do for it and it would not clear up until AFTER the baby is born. Well this was a really itchy rash all over my stomach and back so i looked up natural rememdies and found out about the flaxseed oil and dandelion root remedy. It worked in only 3 days! I couldnt believe it…so anyway my Q is has anyone else had this and used this remedy? should I stop taking the pills now or will it come back if i do?
Michelle answers:
Pupps doesnt just go away the only way for it to go away is to deliver the baby so if you stop what ever treatment you are using to keep it at bay it will come back and be just as bad as it was before

Joseph asks…
Why not pattern US health reform after GB / UK? They use HERBS?
I favor Health Care Reform IF we use HERBS as much or more than pharmaceuticals? UK uses more natural health remedies. I am not impressed with synthetic drugs that the human body wants to initally reject since it causes reactions and side effects. They always want to add more drugs to cover your symptoms up. That’s not good doctoring!
Who is trying to shorten your life?
Also, acupuncture and Spinal Decompression and chiropractic are so helpful. I wonder why people are not as healthy in America as in 3rd world countries. Sicko movie seen at High School today & it was very good to encourage us to LOOK AT other countries’ and what works. Hey – we’re supposed to thrive on capitalism and competitiveness. Let’s have what really is BEST not just pharm drugs.
The Scientific Method is conducted only on synthetic drugs by the Big Pharma since that is the only method by which to put a patent n any item and make money. Do they care that something works better? There are studies done. FDA and Big Pharma do not care to investigate to keep us drugged & funding drug companies. System MUST be changed. Most herbs never harm or carry the horrible side-effects that drugs do. I fault doctors for really not finding out what works themselves. Why not at least try a high Vitamin B complex & Acai which can help alleviate and PREVENT diseases from happening. Doctors should be educated in herbs and paid for making people healthier like they are in UK. They are paid bonus for patient’s losing weight, stopping smoking, etc.
I used red raspberry leaves to stop 2 miscarriages & my pregnancy, labor & kids were and are still very healthy.
Red Raspberry Leaves are fantastic for stopping early contractions and giving excellent conditions for baby to grow with healthy pregnancy and I know I went from almost losing my baby, to being able to do jumping jacks even in the last week before delivering at age 43. Sure this is anecdotal but it is true for me. I think it could be repeated with most women. I took the suggestion from someone else. It’s not only for women, but for men. Probably would help with diabetics and their problem with circulation, with absolutely no side-effects. Do you see pharmaceutical drug companies making any money off of this? No since it is a food and cannot be patented, so do they care? No. They will not do the research. The drug companies do not care about what is best. Herbs are standardized. Your view is limited. I have great respect for herbs. Chlorella is another FANTASTIC algae for health & it should be promoted.
Michelle answers:
Heath reform is supposed to be about moving forward, not backwards.
I have already said to you before that acai does not prevent disease. If I am wrong please post your published peer reviewed clinical data showing so.
Your question sounds more like an advert then anything else.
Edit:
Red raspberry leaves and drug companies – I posted this at your other question, I managed to find one study:
“Red raspberry tea is still commonly recommended for pregnant women. However, while there is weak preliminary evidence from animal studies that raspberry might have an effect on the uterus,1 the only real clinical study trial reported to date found no benefit.2 This double-blind placebo-controlled study evaluated the effects of red raspberry in 192 pregnant women. Treatment (placebo or 2.4 g of raspberry leaf daily) began at the 32nd week of pregnancy and was continued until the onset of labor. The results failed to show any statistically meaningful differences between the group. Red raspberry did not significantly shorten labor, reduce pain, or prevent complications. Thus, at present, it appears that red raspberry does not work in the manner ascribed to it by tradition.”

If there is money to be made of something like raspberry leaves then the drug companies will certainly be interested – they would be keen to identify the active chemical then put it through the normal processes to produce a safe consistent drug.

Mary asks…
What can I do about my super dry hair?
My hair is super dry, and I have an extremely itchy scalp, resulting in dandruff-like white pieces to fall from my head. I wash my hair every other day, but in less then 24 hours it starts to feel extremely gross and itchy and I can’t keep it down. This started after the birth of my daughter, so I’m wondering if it’s possible that pregnancy did this to me?
What should I do about my dry, limp hair? What shampoos (I’ve tried a ton and none of them did anything for me) should I use? Any natural/homemade remedies I can try?
By the way, my hair is naturally curly and frizzy.
Michelle answers:
You’re gonna want to buy a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. After that you’re going to want to buy a hair serum like bio silk or something similar. Any type of oil that should control frizziness and enhance shine. Apply 2 dime sizes in your hair and pay special attention to your ends and be careful with your roots because you do not want to make your hair heavy and oily with it. You also may want to buy a type of treatment such as hot oil, Castor oil, or avocado.
You could also buy some Jojoba Oil. It’s a little pricey but its an amazing product. I usually add 5 drops of it into my conditioner and shampoo. Just shake it up real quick and it should take care of your dandruff and itchy scalp.
I’ve heard of people adding mayo to their hair to make it really soft and shiny. I’ve never done it but I think it works.
Hope this helps!
