From the Publisher A unique bookthe first of its kind. No longer do patients have to accept that their infertility is "just bad luck" and they just have to "keep on trying." No longer should women with recurrent miscarriages have to listen to their doctor telling them that their loss was "God's will" or that they ought to be thankful because their baby was probably chromosomally abnormal. The statistics simply do not support such claimsin fact, they show that repeated reproductive failure can be a symptom of wider health problems in the mother. Furthermore, the root cause can be treatednot only to promote the chances of a successful pregnancy, but to improve the mother's health long-term. From the Author In response to growing demand, the thoughts and theories of the internationally acclaimed fertility specialist Dr. Alan Beer have been documented. "Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?" explains for the first time ever why "unexplained" infertility, IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages happen. This book shows how the immune system can behave in a way that prevents a pregnancy from continuing. High levels of Natural Killer cells, genetic compatibility between partners and blood clotting problems are all significant causes of reproductive failure. Autoimmunityeither inherited or environmentally triggeredis a major reason for the increase in infertility and miscarriage today. In addition to medical treatments, there are also natural ways that the immune system can be moderated to create a more "baby-friendly" environment. For the first time, readers will be able to see that their reproductive problems have a root cause and that in many cases, they can be addressed with immune therapy and possibly by making certain changes to their lifestyle. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Foreword Reproductive failure and repeated pregnancy loss is devastating for the patients involved. The devastation is emotional, physical and financial and can mean the loss of valuable ovarian time for the patient, and frustration and disappointment for the practitioners involved. There is always a reason for any pregnancy loss and this book very eloquently lays out the standard testing. Dr. Alan Beer then examines and categorizes what can be done in the so-called unexplained, and by inference "hopeless," cases. Once the usual factors like chromosomal abnormalities, uterine defects, infections and the hormonal milieu have been excluded, this book speaks to a group of patients who still have unexplained loss. The immune system is at the center of who we are. It protects us against infections and abnormal cells that can in some cases become malignant. Many patients with cancers previously labeled terminal and untreatable are now being treated by inducing a favorable immune response to markers derived from the actual tumors themselves. It amazes me how long it has taken fertility practitioners to make the connection between recurrent failed treatment and recurrent loss, and the immune mechanism of attack given the fact that the implanting embryo is genetically different from the mother or carrier. Something almost magical happens to prevent rejection of this graft in the vast majority of pregnancies. For a small group of patients, this magical event does not happen and we are left with immune attack and thrombosis, which either prevents implantation or causes loss or inadequate intrauterine nutrition. Dr. Alan Beer has devoted his life to the investigation and treatment of recurrent failed treatment and pregnancy loss. I have had the privilege of knowing him and treating patients with him for almost 15 years. In this book, he seeks rational explanations and lays out modalities of treatment, which have hel
