Fertility Nurses First

چکیده
China’s Cultural Revolution marked a move from the past into a new plan for the future. A small paper published in 2002 in Fertility & Sterility by Paulus WE, et al. showed a similar, though relatively silent revolution. The research suggested that adding acupuncture under a strict protocol to patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) demonstrated improvements in reproductive outcomes, i.e., more pregnancies. The impact of this small study was not fully realized for several years. However, its results prompted Diane K. Cridennda, LAc to challenge Paul C. Magarelli, MD, PhD to question how he could help his patients by stretching for solutions outside the realm of allopathic medicine.
