 An infomercial for the author's clinic October 14, 2008

The book does have some great elements: the detailed diet, acupressure points to massage to increase fertility, inspiring personal stories. However, the numerous references to the author's clinic were distracting. If you don't live in Los Angeles and aren't going to be treated by Dr. Dao, I can't imagine that this book would be a whole lot of help to you. Also, I was surprised by the somewhat discouraging tone towards older would-be mothers coupled with advice about donor eggs and adoption; I think most women over 40 know their reduced chances and need to be uplifted, not discouraged further (although, ironically, many of the success stories involve women over 35). I think, overall, Randine Lewis's "The Infertility Cure" was a much more informative read, and without the ego.

A girlfriend gave me this wonderful, informative, inspiring and calming book and I have since given it to others. Dr. Dao, even with his words, inspires confidence. I have read and reread the book, which is simple and thorough. The stories of women who have overcome their own fertility issues are inspiring. Dr. Dao sees and brings the reader into the big picture. Total health and interconnectedness. He assists in gaining a realistic perspective and then provides tools and suggestions to increase overall health and fertility. br / br /Living in Los Angeles, I am fortunate to have become a patient of Dr. Dao. My FSH in three months has dropped by half and is now in single digits. I have incorporated the diet recommendations and qi gong exercises from the book. br / br /This is a book for those seeking an alternative to Western Medicine and also for those seeking to support Western Medicine.

This book has been wonderful from the minute I started reading it. It is very honest and knowledgable information that makes you truly stop and re-evaluate the way you eat, think, rest, pray, sleep, etc. I am about 3/4 of the way through it, and already know that I will read it again once I finish. It has truly changed the way I look at my habits and the choices that I make. It is also well written and easy to understand.
A wonderful book! August 10, 2008

I picked this book up and vowed I would skim through it on vacation. I could not put it down the whole flight to the vacation (it was a 11 hour flight:)) This is an amazing read. I skipped the stories of other women's struggles because I was just trying to conceive and didn't want to worry myself into thinking MORE about other fertility problems that could arise in addition to the ones I already had. br / br /The book lead me to a total lifestyle change: br /I have eliminated bad stresses in my life. br /I have my husband and I on a very Dr. Dao diet. br /In addition I have become his patient (lucky for me I live in the Los Angeles area). br / br /I recently received blood tests results that show my hormones are at a normal level for the first time in my life since 1993 without the aid of western medication!!!! br / br /I really attribute this change to Dr. Dao and HIGHLY recommend this book to my friends and all!

The Tao of Fertility offers sound health advice that is beneficial for everyone, not just for people who are dealing with fertility. It is beautifully written and provides a good balance between Eastern and Western medicine.
