Please Note:  Chinese Herbal Course

For many women, the difficulty they are having is not with fertility but with maintaining a pregnancy once conception has occurred. From a Chinese medical point of view, there are many reasons why a woman miscarries. 80% of miscarriages happen within the first 3 months of pregnancy and these are by far the main ones Chinese medical practitioners will see in our clinics. Women who have difficulty conceiving and have conceived through artificial means are at a much higher risk for early miscarriage. It is important for any practitioner who is working with fertility patients to have a very good understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of habitual miscarriage.  

During this one day seminar, Sharon Weizenbaum will share her primary treatment strategies for habitual miscarriage. Her experience in the last 3 years, as her diagnostic and treatment knowledge has matured, has been that 90% of her habitual miscarriage patients go on to have a healthy full term pregnancy. Students who attend this seminar will learn how to clearly diagnose and treat the most common types of habitual miscarriage that Sharon sees in her practice. You may be surprised that these causes are not what you think! Students will also learn how to interpret some of the western medical lab work related to the causes of habitual miscarriage.
