in TTC after 35
Yes, it's me asking the strange things again.
I've incorporated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other herbs/supplements in my quest for fertility. I also just finished some reading on Ayurveda (Indian medicine).
In addition to other herbs and herb mixtures are foods to eat and not to eat. Drinking ghee is part of something I read. I love butter so I don't think that would be a problem, and trust me, I know some of it may seem crazy, but I think I'm willing to try a week of rice and lentil with mango buttermilk. I'm curious when and where I draw the line.
So, I gotta ask - anyone else edging past the boundaries of Western Medicine in their quest?

Re: Ayurveda, TCM, herbs, etc
I think from some of my other posts you can tell I do. I beleive healthcare should be more integrated between the east and west traditions. I absolutely believe in the Western Medicine, i also believe that I don't need a pill or to be cut to solve things, herbs, food, exercise, body work, energy work are all very vital to creating healthy lifestyle.
I think drawing the line is a personal choice. I think yuo draw the line at extremes and use common sense, when a remedy says eat only celery for 4 weeks....well lets face it, celery has great fiber and water but too much of anything is harmful, everything in moderation.
