Q: Does anyone know of any natural remedies for blocked fallopian tubes? The woman in question has already had two children and is not aware of having had an infection that could have caused this. -Julia Duthie A: A neighbor lady who had two children ages 8 and 10 who was not able to conceive since those births had gone from doctor to doctor to find the cause. *Finally*, after thousands and thousands of dollars were spent trying to find a solution, one compasionate local doctor explained to her that her tubes had been tied. She was shocked as she had never requested such a procedure. He then revealed to her, though said he would have to deny that he had exposed this information, that in our state, as in many others, if a woman shows any reason--mental, physical, emotional or financial--for not being able to bear any more children, based upon the doctor's assessment, he could tie her tubes without consent or disclosure, and that it was his civic duty. It's problematic, but bears checking out. If yours is "natural" caused, dehydration will cause the tubes to be blocked simply because the body does not have sufficient fluids to keep up what is supposed to be a continually available tubal mucus flow. Even eight glasses of water in a low water content type of food regimen is not sufficient. You may want to read the book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water--You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty" by Dr. Batmangeheilidji (or spelled something like that!) -Cyndee ==== A: My husband is a naturopath and I am a midwife. We have been successful using mineral water in a douche for cleaning out excess left over waste material within the tubes. As it is an astringent, it draws out foreign matter that has been obstructive. This can be done on a slant board using about two ounces and retained for ten minutes. It can be done a couple of times a day for about a week. The mineral water is used by itself in the douche. This may not be all that is causing the problem as infection can swell and obstruct as well as scar tissue. The use of bromaline (derived from fresh pineapple) in the diet has been used to reduce scar tissue if sued over a long period of time. Also if mother is using suppository napkins (you know the brand names) this is not good as it can block the flow of blood, forcing endometrial tissue and old blood back u[p into the fallopian tubes which can cause toxic shock and eventually possibly endometriosis. This information is to be used by you at your own discretion and is not to be considered medical advice. -R. ==== A: I have a friend who went to an osteopath for this condition and the osteopath worked on freeing the "scarred tissue." She ended up conceiving a baby afterward. She preferred to try this instead of having surgery. -Helene Vadeboncoeur Reprinted from Midwifery Today E-News (Vol 2 Issue 14 April 7, 2000) To subscribe to the E-News write: enews@midwiferytoday.com For all other matters contact Midwifery Today: PO Box 2672-940, Eugene OR 97402 |
