Customer Reviews

Very technical read for a patient!
This book is a compilation of case studies. It is a technical read for a patient of acupucture going through IVF. There is a ton of valuable information in this book, it's just very hard to get through it if you aren't trained to decifer all the lingo. For a doc, I'm sure it's an easy read!

informative
I gave this gift to a friend who is an acupuncturist. He really loved it. He uses it as a reference when treating patients. I would not buy it for a woman wanting to try acupuncture for fertility - too clinical.

great book
this book really enlightened me to a lot of things i did not know in regards to accupuncture and IVF
