These were the first words that my husband spoke when little Rachel was born into this world “Karen, it’s a GIRL!!” She was so new to life yet she was already so many things to us: she is our beautiful, healthy daughter, she is her brother’s little baby sister, she is the first girl on…
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 was only three days away from embryo transfer (IVF with donor egg) when my doctor discovered that my body was not reacting as he had hoped to the estrogen. Therefore, the lining of my uterus was not as thick as it should be for implantation. He suggested I have acupuncture to bring more blood…
I wanted to share my good news with you!! In less than two months (due date Dec 10th, 2004), we will be expecting our new baby!! I am pregnant at age 39 – naturally! I am very thankful for the acupuncture, Chinese herbal tea, and advice that I received from Lorne Brown. I came into…
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…
