When Dr. Randine Lewis used millenniums old Chinese techniques to help her conceive, she later visited China to learn first hand more about Chinese medical practices. There she worked with local doctors assisting Chinese women with reproductive problems while studying infertility remedies. In Houston she opened up the Eastern Harmony Clinic for reproductive enhancement. Dr. Lewis claims her combining Chinese techniques with western medical knowledge have resulted in a success rate of 75%, well above the average.

THE INFERTILITY CURE provides an easy to follow self help guide that individuals can use to increase their potential for reproductive success. There is also numerous line drawings that augment the already easy to follow reference book. However, the key to the tome is that Dr. Lewis considers the whole person based on a philosophy that a healthy woman with a positive attitude has a greater chance of triumph in this endeavor or any for that matter than someone who is depressed and lamenting over failures. The book enables the individual to diagnose via detailed a questionnairelisting specific problems. This is followed up by a diet, acupressure techniques, and consumption of herbs to ensure a harmonious healthy body. Though the person should still see their doctor especially to discuss the use of herbs, Dr. Lewis' book is easy to follow and more important easy to use.
