Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi all, I have a number of expired formulas that I don't want to throw away. Anyone know of any free clinics that use herbs here or overseas that I can donate them to? Mostly Mayway items, unopened and as far as I'm concerned perfectly fine. (I use many of them for myself). Be well, Bob Robert Linde, AP, RH Professional Herbalists Training Program Acupuncture & Herbal Therapies 901 Central Ave St. Petersburg, FL 33705 www.acuherbals.com 727-551-0857 --- On Thu, 4/22/10, ValerieH <hobbs.valeriehobbs wrote: ValerieH <hobbs.valeriehobbs Re: Strange fertility question Chinese Medicine Thursday, April 22, 2010, 1:20 PM Â Z'ev/Yaron's post should be placed in a Golden Cabinet. I feel pretty small in comparison but will suggest a possible western science refinement --she and her partner may have very similar DNA so that when she conceives, she does not produce a blocking antibody. Perhaps the process of unprotected immune attack against the embryo causes fever to manifest in her. Or she could have increased killer cell activity. See http://www.ivf- infertility. com/infertility/ causes/immunolog ical.php for more info. You say this has been considered by her western docs, and none of the dysfunction in her immune system has been verified. I don't know if this is a correct step because it applies western science thinking to Chinese herbology, but I would choose to inclue herbs that fit her pattern that do not increase immune response and that are anti inflammatory in nature. So among the several that fit her condition in any class of herbs, those are the ones I would tend to use. I use Chen & Chen as my primary source, but I'm cognizant that some of the information is based on animal studies, and therefore possibly not immediately transferable. However, I am very aware that using the appropriate formula, regardless of the western anti-inflammatory nature of the herbs, can still correct the condition. If you come up with a formula that fits the essential diagnosis well, but has several immune enhancing herbs, try to balance that with some that are anti inflammatory in nature. Many common fertility formulas have this balance. You may make only a substitution or two or increase a dose to accomplish this. Good luck. I have to (gladly) go study Z'ev's post now....

Anyone know of any free clinics that use herbs here or overseas that I can donate them to? Mostly Mayway items, unopened and as far as I'm concerned perfectly fine. (I use many of them for myself). I'd recommend donating them to Mindful Medicine Worldwide: http://www.mindfulmedicineworldwide.org/ They will bring the herbs with them to Nepal to treat locals who cannot afford other health care options.
