1. Acupuncture: an Introduction. 2. Natural Fertility. 3. Understanding IVF part 1. 4. Understanding IVF part 2. 5. Western Conventional Medicine: Causes, Diagnoses and Tests. 6.

Take back control part 2: Fertility antioxidants, endocrine disrupting compounds, epigenetics. 10. Evidence: placebo, evidence, narrative. 11. Acupuncture in ART. 12. A Return to Diet.
Nick Dalton-Brewer boldly seeks to reconcile recent developments in molecular medicine with traditional acupuncture theory. The integrated approach to IVF treatment described in this book is original and well thought out, a multidisciplinary approach which I believe should be encouraged. Students and practitioners of both disciplines will find this book a useful foundation for a rapidly evolving medical discipline.
