INFERTILITY
When this subject was brought forth in my basic Bowen class, I just rolled my eyes, smiled, and thought, “Yeah-sure!” When I questioned my guru, Milton about, it he casually remarked, “That Bowen Therapy straightened the fallopian tubes so the eggs can drop, and thus become impregnated when the timing is right. When the tube is bent because the posture alignment is bent, the eggs can't drop.” I took this with a grain of salt, so to speak, and went on with my business. Then, about two years later, three of my patients miraculously became pregnant following Bowen Therapy. All came in a bunch, about 1 month apart. The first patient came specifically for that purpose as she had read in a magazine publication that Bowen Therapy was successful with infertility issues. The other two had mentioned their infertility problems, but I never said anything to them about Bowen Therapy helping infertility. I found out later that they'd all recently gotten pregnant.
Marcy, one of my podiatry patients, really got me thinking. She'd been favoring her foot pain during the past few weeks, which made her back painful. In addition to caring for her foot pain, I gave her two Bowen sessions a week apart. When she returned the third week she was grinning from ear to ear. She said, " Thank you." I asked, "Thank me for what?" She replied, “I've been going to the infertility clinic during the past eight months. Every month, I only produce one or two eggs, if that, and none have been satisfactory for insemination. Last week, I had twenty eight eggs! They harvested three and put twelve in my egg bank. Eight months later she had twins. She's convinced that the Bowen Therapy was responsible for this. I guess, I am too. I met up with the acupuncturist, who practiced next door to me, out in the parking lot one morning. I asked, “How exactly, does acupuncture help infertility?” He replied. “Studies have shown that the stimulation of the meridians and meridian points causes stimulation of the pituitary gland which causes the hypothalamus to increase the production of gonadotropic hormones, which then stimulates increased sperm and egg production.” Then he said, “I'm pretty much specializing in infertility right now. The clinic up the street sends me six to eight new patients per week for acupuncture.” Then I commented to him, “That's why I've noticed that almost every patient coming and going from your office is a woman between twenty-something and thirty-something.”
This acupuncturist was one of my first people to practice Bowen on right after I learned it. After his first session for a knee problem, he said, “Wow! That's as close to acupuncture as I've ever experienced, only without the needles!” Considering that many Bowen moves are over significant meridian points, and over the meridian ductules, it is distinctly possible that a similar effect as acupuncture takes place, which results in increased egg production.
