D-Ribose and ATP's Influence in Reproduction and Energy Production in General

We know that second to the heart, the Reproductive system has the next greatest need for vascular supply. The reproductive system runs on a separate, secondary vascular system, meaning the vital organs are the first to recieve the blood supply needed to keep them functioning and it has its own vasuclar system. If those are running up to par with good blood supply for energy production within the cells of those organs, then the secondary vascular system can get the blood supply it needs, which has been shown to be second only to the heart. This is why couples who come to me who are stressed, overworked, and not sleeping or eating well and trying to fit in a social life, partaking in alcholic drinks and perhaps sugar based indulgeneces, then getting up at 6 AM or earlier to workout, 5 days a week, often cannot conceive or their reproductive systems are off balance or diseased. ATP production is the energy within the mitochondria of the cells which is considered the powerhouse within the cell. ATP production is paramount to the cellular division of a fertilized embryo from the moment it fertilizes to a 2, 4, 6 and finally an 8 cell which for those of you undergoing or who have undergone IVF, is the ultimate "Marula Stage" of the embryo or "day 5 embryo". If it makes it to this stage and the quality is good, there is a pretty good chance it will survive transfer into the uterus for implantation and make it to a blastocyst stage, which is a 64 cell division. By good quality, I mean, no fragmentation or crumbling looking cookies, nice even circular cell division. All of this is the job of the chemical ATP, which is crucial in so many cellular and muscular systems of the body as the article conveys. In my opinion, after reading about D-Ribose for a patient, I recently treated with acupuncture who had a moderate stroke, it could also be very beneficial for my patients with Infertility and the cellular division of a fertilized egg, perhaps even before that in the production of healthy follicles and sperm for both quality and quanity. Though I have not researched this, it is my knowledge on ATP and its importance in reproduction and normal cell division within the body that occured to me it could be very beneficial. I, myself took some chewables today and found my energy much improved and with cool weather like this it was nice to be outside. On my next post, I will share with you some pictures of embryos before 3 months of acupuncture and herbs and after and the quality difference. It is quite remarkable! As certain herbs, particularly Kidney Yang tonics have been shown to improve ATP production, however, it is the Kidney Yin herbs that nourish and restore as ATP production in itself gives off Free-Radicals, and it is the Yin herbs that offset that, in part I think that is the role of D-Ribose as it seems to restore the energy more than actually produce it.

Caring for our Eggs and Sperm takes time….

Caring for our eggs/sperm and healing our bodies takes time. In Rebecca Fett's book review of It Start With the Egg she states: "After enduring several IVFs that ended in miscarriage, I believe the reason I was ultimately successful in having children is because I waited eight months before trying again, taking the time to heal my body--to rid it of stress, environmental toxins, and fertility drugs--and build it up with things like supplements, acupuncture, and herbs."

Acupuncture vrs Non-Acupuncture In IVF studies

Here in shortened summary is a study of two acupuncture protocals. A fairly significant increase in the pregnancy rates in the acupuncture group of 77/61% versus 49/37% in the non-acupuncture group. Acupuncture boosts the Qi which pushes the blood and moves the blood, hence improving blood flow to the gametes(Ovaries, Testes), uterus, tubes, and reducing obstructive issues such as endometriosis, PCOS, Varicocele issues, Male Factor issues, Unexplained Infertility, along with Premature Ovarian Failure, and Poor Ovarian Reserve.



After four years and blinded to the each other's work, the authors retrospectively reviewed the data (Table 1) of 216 patients who received acupuncture and were then divided into two groups: 111 patients in Acupuncture (Ac) and 106 patients in Non Acupuncture (No Ac)1. Their goal was to determine how many treatments it would take to show a statistically significant improvement in pregnancy outcomes for patients undergoing IVF1. They ultimately found that in the acupuncture group, the average number of EA treatments of the pregnant women was 8.4, compared to 5.1 EA treatments of the non-pregnant women1. They also observed the non-acupuncture group had a 37.4% pregnancy rate versus a stunning 61.1% pregnancy rate in the acupuncture group1.
