The Challenge

Many couples that qualify for IVF pay out of pocket, at an average cost of $10,000 per cycle, with around a 35% chance of a successful pregnancy. Let me give you the chance to beat the odds without injections and outpatient procedures. Give me six months, and a check for the $10,000 you would spend on a single IVF cycle. Instead of IVF, I offer you 6 months of Acupuncture treatments combined with Chinese herbal medicine for both you and your spouse.

If during the course of treatment or in the 2 months following you get pregnant, I get to deposit your check and you have yourself a hormone and procedure free pregnancy. Additionally, I will provide 4 weeks of Acupuncture after a positive result to promote a smooth pregnancy. On the other hand, if after those 8 months you are not pregnant, you get your check back. Simple as that.

Why offer such a challenge? For you, it's the equivalent of a money back guarantee of a successful pregnancy. You avoid the pain and hormonal swings associated with IVF. Even if you don't get pregnant, Acupuncture has no health risks and promotes overall well-being. For me, I get 6 months to try to determine the best treatment combination to promote fertility for all Acupuncture patients.

In the beginning, I will only be taking 2 or 3 couples to ensure extra quality of care. If this proves as successful as I think it will be, I will increase the number of couples involved and eventually write a proposal for a full study.
