Women who are having trouble getting pregnant know the heartbreak of seeing another mother with her new baby, and feeling like she'll never get to experience that.
It's heartbreaking for a woman who wants a baby so badly to see the very thing she wants all around her, but can't seem to get.
If you're having problems conceiving, don't despair! You can get pregnant! It doesn't matter if you have had miscarriages in the past, if you are in your late 30's or 40's, or if you just can't seem to make things work.
Here is one major factor that could be causing you problems: refined sugar.
There was a story told by a naturopathic doctor who said that a man was having problems with fire ants all over his property.
The man had tried poisons, but no luck.
The doctor told him to buy five 10-pound bags of white, refined sugar and put little piles next to every ant hill in his yard.
"Keep doing it for three months," the doctor advised.
The man was mystified, but he followed the doctor's orders to the letter.
Nothing seemed to happen at first - in fact, if anything, his ant problem got worse.
But then, about three months later - the ants died out! The man asked his naturopathic doctor what had happened, and the doctor told him, "The ants were taking the refined sugar to their queen.
Refined sugar lessens the reproductive ability of all animals, and after a couple of months of eating it, the queen was unable to produce new ants, and they all died out.
" If three months of refined sugar could kill off an ant colony, what do you think it might be doing to your reproductive system? In fact, refined carbohydrates of any kind have been shown to impact fertility rates and cause irregular ovulation.
If you have been having problems getting pregnant, sugar might be part of the problem.
