I wanted to take the opportunity to prepare my body for conception and met Lorne Brown. Lorne taught me many things concerning fertility that I did not learn in medical school. I knew that it would take 6-12 months for me to conceive. I began charting my temperature, getting regular acupuncture, and taking the herbs…
I have a history of miscarriages, having had one miscarriage attempting to conceive my first child, then another three miscarriages attempting to conceive our second child. After the last miscarriage, we found ourselves unable to conceive for over a year (which was a needed break from the miscarriages, but we were growing desperate that we…
When I discovered Lorne’s approach at Acubalance, it was such a relief to be treated as a whole person after encountering the detachment of the Western medical approach. I had been trying to conceive for three years when I decided to try acupuncture after having some small spots of endometriosis removed. My gynecologist had told…
We are now getting close to the end of the second trimester of pregnancy and want to reflect on the experiences leading up to our positive results. As you know, this was our 4th IVF cycle, and only during the last cycle did we see Dr. Ryan Funk for acupuncture treatment. Both of us saw…
Darryl and I just wanted to write to you and say “thank you” for helping us become pregnant with our little miracle. From the time I wrote you, Lorne, and spoke to you on the phone, I felt that we were in good hands. During our first consult with the IVF clinic, we were told…

I first saw Lorne at the Acubalance Wellness Centre on February 23rd, 2004, as I have a history of ectopic pregnancies. After a couple of ectopic pregnancies, my OB/GYN recommended that I go to see a fallopian tube specialist. I was nervous to go to the Infertility Clinic and had read that acupuncture sometimes helped…
When my husband and I first started trying to have a baby, we thought I would get pregnant immediately. Everything else in my life had worked on a schedule and I believed that pregnancy would be no different. After three months of “trying”, I started to get a bit concerned and began charting my cycles…
After two years of struggling with infertility, recording my temperature daily, taking vitamins… and basically doing what every book I read told me to do, I attended the local Fertility clinic. They sent me for tests to check my tubes for blockage. My husband’s sperm count was fine and my tubes were clear, which was…
