According to a recent feature in the Daily Express, certain cases of unexplained infertility can be resolved through unorthodox treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy and reflexology.
The case for cognitive behaviour therapy is argued very convincingly by Dr Elizabeth Muir, a psychotherapist/hypnotherapist specialising in what she calls "psychosomatic infertility". Her course of treatment is based on getting the subconscious mind to accept the concept of pregnancy and overcome deep-seated barriers not acknowledged at a conscious level. Only then, she argues, does conception become physically possible. "When people try to reproduce, it is very often routine, on time and mechanistic", explains Dr Muir, going on to add, "They are doing it in such an unnatural way that the body rebels against it." Apparently some 45 percent of her clients, generally falling into the 36 - 45 age range, fall pregnant while attending the programme or within 12 months afterwards.
Another "natural" practitioner of a similar elk is Maris Peer. Her approach is to urge prospective mothers to focus on "telling their unconceived children they have made room in their heart and room in their womb." Again, she would appear to have an enthusiastic - and successfully fecund - client base.
Perhaps, though, it is reflexology (based on the theory that massaging pressure points in the feet which correlate to different body areas, thus unblocking crucial energy channels) which has all the answers. Especially since Casualtys Nurse Duffy - aka actress Cathy Shipton - has been widely reported in the press as attributing her much awaited first pregnancy to regular on-set foot-massaging by a qualified reflexologist. Says Ms Shipton, "I had completely given up hope that we could conceive naturally. I had been told by my doctors that my fallopian tubes were blocked and that I might not be able to have children at all. I had been advised to try IVF and donor IVF." However, four months after starting reflexology sessions, she was delighted to discover she was pregnant.
