Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration

Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration | Review by Lucy Coleman. Amazon Review: ncludes a preview of Leap of Perception, the next book in Penney Peirce’s Transformation Trilogy. Because science has long taught us to rely on what we can see and touch, we often don’t notice that our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy. Everything is vibrating. In fact, each of us has a personal vibration that communicates who we are to the world and helps shape our reality. In Frequency, Penney Peirce shows you how to feel your personal vibration and work intentionally with energy to transform your life. By learning to find your “home frequency” — the highest, most natural personal vibration you can attain — you can maximize clarity, minimize struggle, and discover new talents and capacities. Awakening to the new reality that a higher frequency reveals can help you dramatically improve relationships, find upscale solutions to problems, and materialize a life that co

Connectivity.

The following video is courtesy of UFO Disclosure Group. Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This is his answer.  

“The non-biological causes of Infertility”

  To read this, I recommend you to have a look at some of my other articles, that way it will be easier to understand. I need you to have an open mind. The article “Biological and non-biological causes of infertility” there contains explanations about all the biological causes. However, even though many patients present with biological causes, an increased majority are aware there is something else involved, and is not biological. Once the non-biological causes are acknowledge, it will be easier to understand. We humans are composed of matter. There is matter everywhere inside us. Matter is the connection with the physical world we live in. As we are submerged in our material or physical world there are ways to connect with the non-material world. It is possible to feel that connection with the non-physical world in several ways. Most people do not know this, or they prefer to ignore it because it makes it easier for their lives. I was one of them, one of the most skeptical of all

The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable

The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable | Review by Lucy Coleman. Interesting book to use when you are looking to loose weight understanding the basics Amazon Review: Carbohydrate restricted diets are commonly practiced but seldom taught. As a result, doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and nurses may have strong opinions about low carbohydrate dieting, but in many if not most cases, these views are not grounded in science. Now, whether you are a curious healthcare professional or just a connoisseur of diet information, two New York Times best-selling authors provide you with the definitive resource for low carbohydrate living. Doctors Volek and Phinney share over 50 years of clinical experience using low carbohydrate diets, and together they have published more than 200 research papers and chapters on the topic. Particularly in the last decade, much has been learn

Legal Conceptions: The Evolving Law and Policy of Assisted Reproductive Technologies 1st Edition

Legal Conceptions: The Evolving Law and Policy of Assisted Reproductive Technologies 1st Edition | Review by Lucy Coleman. I went to one of Dr. Crockin’s conferences a few years ago. I was amazed by the knowledge she has in the legal field regarding human reproduction. Despite being such a sterile field a few years back, she gathered lots of useful information from different patient cases, and even described the legal procedures in every case. I read her book from cover to cover and felt she really know exactly what she is talking about. I also need to quote amazon because the description of the book is very accurate Amazon Review: Written by a medical and a legal pioneer in the field, this book comprehensively reviews and analyzes the evolving law and policy issues surrounding assisted reproductive technologies. Dr. Howard W. Jones, Jr., founder of the first in vitro fertilization program in the United States, offers medical commentary, while attorney Susan L.

Human cloning.

“ The potential of cloning to alleviate suffering…is so great in the medium term that I believe it would be immoral not to clone human embryos for this purpose”. Ian Wilmut. Cloning is a procedure that removes the nucleus of a cell (that will become a surrogate cell) and replace it will the nucleus of the cell from the organism or species intended to be cloned. There are discussions regarding this technique since it’s first attempt during the 90’s where animal cloning was possible through the creation of the well-know Dolly sheep (named after the singer Dolly Parton, because the cloned DNA was taken from a mammary gland). There has been news regarding scientists claiming to have cloned human embryos with success. Today, therapeutic cloning it has been allowed in some countries for research purposes only, until the technique shows to be safe. Most news have only been lies based in scientific claims with no scientific based of what they got as a result and the models used. However, th

Surrogacy. The true gesture of kindness.

There is a whole lot of information regarding this procedure online. There are books informing patients and doctors experiences with it. Leaflets can be found in fertility clinics explaining about it. However, we do receive many weekly emails asking about the procedure, what does involves, how is it done, the risks, tests needed, etc., and it makes me think there is still too much more to be known. I can start by saying surrogacy is a kindness gesture a human can shown to life. It is the way a woman collaborates with other in order to make possible the growth of a baby. A woman gets pregnant with the future known intention of handing over the child to someone else after gibing birth. It is usually done using someone else’s gametes.   Today several patients need surrogacy, because of many reasons, they might not have uterus, they have a disease, they are a same sex couple, etc. A team of professional experts in surrogacy evaluates the need of the procedure and will advice the steps

If I don’t find you in this life, I will look for you in the next one.

One day I read someone’s article stating that in this lifetime she could not be happy with any men she had a relationship with, and that she knew perhaps he did not come to this lifetime this time to meet her. By the time I read the article I did not know the things I now know. I was not aware of the fact that we, as souls, can recognize each other with our energy. I know as a fact we all have souls that mean a world to us: an infinite love. It is not the love we feel for the rest of the souls, whom we also love very much. This is a much deeper love, so deep that it is difficult to explain with words. Once we realize in any lifetime, that we are all connected, and our energies are capable of great things, we can see more clearly. I have seen many people depressed and sad because they are on disturbed, unhappy, and disrespectful relationships, and they cannot understand why they are submerged into such unhealthy situations. For us who are on the other side of the line, it is counter

Are you a fertility patient? These advices are right for you then

There is a huge lot of information out there these days regarding assisted reproduction and fertility. We can find implications, consequences, side effects, results, probabilities, etc. All this information seems useful for patients to understand what they are going through, and the chances of success. Personally, as a former patient in fertility, I understand the difficult times we have to go through once we become the patient. Success and positive results is all we wish for. However, is not always what we get. Once you become a fertility patient is because you have been trying as much as possible to get the results of conceiving naturally. You become a person in need of help of a fertility specialist. There are also helpers during that pathway. Those helpers are other methods that can be used together with the assisted reproductive treatment. I call helpers exercise, good balanced nutrition, yoga, Reiki, fertility massages, reflexology and acupuncture. They all have been showing t

Did you know that?

Did you know that? by Lucy Coleman – Infertility is defined as he inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse or the inability to carry a pregnancy to live birth. – 7.4 million women, or 11.9% of women, have ever received any infertility services in their lifetime. – 1 in 8 couples (or 12% or married women) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. – Approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third attributed to the male partner and one-third is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, is unexplained. – A couple ages 29-33 with a normal functioning reproductive system has only a 20-25% chance of conceiving in any given month. After six months of trying, 60% of couples will conceive without medical assistance. – Approximately 44% of women with infertility have sought medical assistance. Of those who seek medical intervention, approximately 65% give birth. – Approximately 85-90% of infertilit

The Reproduction Bundle: Human Preimplantation Embryo Selection

The Reproduction Bundle: Human Preimplantation Embryo Selection | Review by Lucy Coleman. Handy book that pays special attention to all the areas of human embryo development to help scientific – embryologists with the best section of embryos to be implanted. It has lots of good illustrations and comparative guides with different types of human embryos and their performance while in the embryology laboratory. Amazon Review: The most profound dilemma in assisted reproduction to date is the inability to recognize potentially viable embryos before their replacement into the reproductive tract. Application of increasingly advanced new technology has allowed the field of embryo evaluation to evolve rapidly and dramatically over the past five years. Human Preimplantation Embryo Selection assembles the leaders in the field of assisted reproduction to discuss their visions of dealing with the topic of embryo selection in the light of the limitations involving the fragility of the earl

Is fertility trendy?

Because today the number of people having fertilityproblems is increasing, there is a trend for patients to go to the fertility clinic to find treatment and solutions to their problems. In the last years the number of patients in fertility clinics has been increasing, and will continue. Couple find the need of becoming parents at certain age and they know they will be able to achieve this thanks to the many advantages of reproductive techniques. Its is a great option to freeze eggs or embryos, and have them back in the uterus whenever the time is right for the parents. Also a great advantage for single woman who wish to become single mothers getting a sperm donor. The many advantages that fertility techniques offer are contributing with the fact that fertility is trendy today. It is very normal to hear the occasional conversation of someone who knows someone who has a fertility problem. It is most common that what you think. However, in my several visits to different fertility clini

Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility: The Requisites in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility: The Requisites in Obstetrics & Gynecology | Review by Lucy Coleman. This is my favourite book in human reproduction. It is very concise, complete and explains the exact subjects that every specialist in human reproduction needs to know. I carry it with me everywhere. The section about steroids and prostaglandins is really great and helped me understand about their receptors and the role of each one of them in every tissue of the human body. Amazon Review: During the last decade, health care providers have made great strides in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility-a condition that affects 50-80 million people worldwide. This first volume in the new Requisites in Obstetrics and Gynecology Series thoroughly examines every aspect of reproductive endocrinology and infertility from normal menstrual cycle and pubertal development, through to management of a full range of common pathologic conditions and the role of human sexuality

A bridge between Worlds. Witnessing life and death.

A bridge between Worlds. Witnessing life and death. By Lucy Coleman, MD. How to describe the feeling of witnessing what I call “the bridge” between dimensions and realizing that feeling was always there, waiting to be explored further and understood in a deeper spiritual sense. The feeling is unimaginable. And this was my experience. I am a doctor, specialist in Reproductive Medicine, a scientist, a former believer that everything could be demonstrated, even the things that have not being demonstrated yet, because their time to be demonstrated it is about to come. Now I know everything has a time. I dedicated my entire life to science and medicine, believing that science had most of the answers. And most times found the explanation I was looking for, because it seemed they had the correct and scientific logic for most of the phenomena occurred in nature. My beliefs were that we had all the tools to find answers, explanations, reasons and logic. That was a fact until now, because r

How to talk to your fertility specialist?

Once you acknowledge something is not working properly in the fertility area, it is advisable to find a fertility specialist. This way you will get a proper guidance and the next steps to diagnose the possible causes. The first important thing to do is to select the right fertility specialist. This is not easy as many specialists are available, most of them with impressive curriculums and studies, however once you get to know them it might be disappointing to find out they are not the person you were looking for. Others are very difficult to get appointments with, because they are so good that the waiting list is very long. It seems like a matter of luck to find the right one. I make emphasis in this because the relationship you establish with your specialist needs to be based in trust, otherwise you will not get the expected results. Once you select the right fertility specialist, then comes the appointment. Most fertility clinics have a nice warm environment to promote relaxation

Biological and Non-biological causes of Infertility

  There is an extensive information regarding the main causes of infertility. There are biological physical causes related to our bodies and non-biological causes related to our energy and well-being. Regarding to biological causes we can separate them in female and masculine causes. The female causes are: – Ovulation disorders: these ones can be related to hormonal disorders, which prevents the egg to be released from the follicle of the ovary. These hormonal disorders may be related to genetic predisposition, disorders in our diet, tumours, injuries. Causes of these disorders can be related to polycystic ovarian disease, hyperprolactinemia, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism. – Endometriosis: which is presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. This can be painful and affect the function of the ovaries. – Fallopian tube damage or blockage:.. Continue reading The post Biological and Non-biological causes of Infertility appeared first on

The search for life on Earth

Past, present, future. Infertility was, is and will still being a challenge in the world, actually it is increasing dramatically and will become a bigger challenge than what it is today. We Doctors strive to learn more and more everyday about the peculiar behaviors of Mother Nature, however we still far from the truth. My deceased grandmother used to say: “the problems of today will become the plagues of the future”. Today I understand what she meant. We are trying to solve problems today that will be very harder to solve in the future. Let’s analyze the way we humans behave. We do have natural resources which we are consuming without the appreciation and gratefulness deserved. We do have amazing, perfect and healthy bodies, which we damage and destroy, with our daily habits. We are part of a perfect designed universe that wants us to learn and grow; instead we are stuck in our stubbornness and believe that we do not need anything else. We think very highly of ourselves when we disc

Thermodynamics and reproduction. Where the energy comes from?

How can we describe energy? Energy is a property that cannot be created or destroyed. It is also a mechanical work or heat in thermodynamic language. However, it is really difficult to describe what is energy in biological systems. British physicist Lord Kelvin once said: “There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” Thermodynamics is mainly a matter of discovering and then using the principles, or laws, that govern energy transformations and working out the relationship between those principles (1). The First Law of Thermodynamics related heat, work and internal energy. It tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, despite being able to change form; the total energy of a reaction, and indeed of the universe, is constant. The First Law tells us with breathtaking generality that a boundary on the possible is a basic characteristic of our universe (2).     The Second Law of Thermodynamics makes biolog

A Textbook of in Vitro Fertilization and Assisted Reproduction

A Textbook of in Vitro Fertilization and Assisted Reproduction: the Bourn Hall Guide to Clinical and Laboratory Practice | Review by Lucy Coleman. I trained mostly in United Kingdom and, as many specialists in the reproductive field know, it is one of the most regulated countries with respect to human reproduction. This book covers most of the protocols used in the United Kingdom, and I believe many specialists should read through and take most of the content. It is a book that includes several different protocols and laboratory settings. Having worked and several countries I know it is sometimes difficult to get used to different laboratories. After reading the book I took my own ideas of my own protocols of work, according to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and it has been the same way since. It has a new version and I believe it might be as good as this edition. Amazon Review: This is an enlarged, updated, color-illustrated new edition of the definitive cli

Thanks for the knowledge and Thanks for letting me see into your cells.

“When I see into the stars, it gets easier for me to understand most of the answers still out there, in the universe around us”. I wake up everyday early in the morning, drink a large glass of water, watch some news, run for 10 minutes, get my breakfast, and head on to the clinic. I get there, get changed with clean clothes and it takes me around 5 minutes to get ready; I need to be as clean as possible. I do not wear a watch so do not need to be concerned about the time. Once I am ready, with my hair and shoes covered, and clean hands and face, I start my favorite part of the day: to go inside my embryology laboratory. To be part of that, the place where amazing things happen, it makes me feel grateful for the opportunity of being there. It was hard work though. Several years on the medical school, several years specializing in human reproduction, long working hours at fertility clinics in several places around the world, many hours of studying and reading new advances and resea

The Skinny Rules: The Simple, Nonnegotiable Principles for Getting to Thin | Review by Lucy Coleman. Comment: Bob Harper has been my trainer guru. A friend recommended me his book a few years ago, and my life changed. I feel I live with his rules in my head all the time. I learned to respect my body, and to think before eating anything about how much good or bad it will do for me. The great fact about this book is that covers every one of the rules with detailed explanations, this way it makes it easier to follow because we do know now what really happens when we do or eat anything. I read it all and sometimes read it again to refresh a few topics. I have recommended this book to most of my friends and they have it now.

How to be truly happy with your life?

A challenge you think? Well no. It is not a challenge. It is actually easier than what you’ve been thinking. It is a matter of attitude towards life. I usually encounter patients and friends who complaint too much about their lives. Because they do not like their jobs, because they do not like the partner they are with, because the political situation in the country is crazy, because everything is too expensive, because they wish to do something and it seems unimaginable for them to do it, and keeps going on and on. It is their day-to-day way of living. And I usually ask them: and how are you expecting to change that? – Their answer: “we can’t”. You won’t be able to change anything if you are not doing anything to change it! Look around you right now, what do you see?..

The role of Yoga in Fertility

  Yoga is one of the six fundamental systems of Indian thought, collectively known as Darsana. It can mean sight, view, interpreted as a view inside ourselves. Another meaning of Yoga is “to attain what was previously unattainable”, something that we are unable to do today. Yoga is the change we accept in our lives to learn to know ourselves in a deeper way. It will bring back the focus into our lives to establish a connection between the here and now, and with our body and mind. That way we can be “one with the Divine”.
