How Dr Snell helps women conceive
A doctor who claims to achieve a remarkable 87 per cent success rate helping
women in Australia to become pregnant has explained how he does it with
herbal medicine and acupuncture.
Dr Kenneth Snell, of the Acupuncture IVF and Fertility Clinic in Sydney, says
he
administers special Chinese medicine and acupuncture to facilitate in vitro
fertilization (IVF).
He says his special treatment program has helped achieve an 87 per cent
success rate for pregnancies.
His rate of 87 per cent compares favourably with typical rates of less than 40
per cent for most IVF programs.
Dr Snell says, "I have proven with studies which I have conducted with the
cooperation of patients at my clinic over recent years, that my treatment
program facilitates a much higher success rate for in vitro fertilisation."
Dr Snell has also achieved high success rates with women over forty,
including women who have failed IVF before or have been told that they will
not conceive due to their eggs being too old.
He explains his fertility treatment saying, "Chinese medicine is taken over
more than one cycle usually. Western medicine tries to achieve a result within
one cycle, although a lot of women fail their IVF cycles and return for multiple
IVF treatments unsuccessfully.
“So in the long run, Chinese medicine taken over a few cycles is usually
quicker and more effective,” he says.
“It also requires fewer doses of IVF drugs which often have harmful and long-
lasting side effects. Chinese medicine is safe and natural and has no side
effects," he says. "Its good effects are greatly enhanced when combined with
acupuncture."
Chinese medicine is the main form of fertility treatment in his clinic.
Acupuncture is always used as a secondary treatment to increase the effects
produced by Chinese medicine.
His specialised treatment programs are used to enhance fertility.
He treats simple hormonal imbalances and more debilitating kinds of
gynaecological problems which prevent women from conceiving.
He administers natural Chinese medicine and acupuncture to a woman for
three to five months until the embryo is transferred into her uterus.
After the transfer, he administers different natural Chinese medicines and
more acupuncture to prevent threatened abortion and miscarriage.
He says, "This medicine facilitates easier transfer of the embryo into the
uterus by dilating the cervical opening, nourishes the embryo facilitating
embryo growth, prevents uterine contractions, prevents bleeding and holds
the embryo in place."
Dr Snell says his acupuncture and Chinese medicine are vastly different to
other doctors in technique and medicine composition.
Best results are achieved when acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
are prescribed together, he says.
During the course of treatment, the Chinese herbal medicine is routinely
changed to achieve maximum results. The patient is never kept on the same
medicine.
Depending on the time of the menstrual cycle, the acupuncture treatment is
also changed to achieve maximum results.
Dr Snell says his special treatments achieve fast results for infertility and
fertility-related conditions. “Patients notice improvements in the first few
weeks of treatment.”
Dr Snell operates the Acupuncture IVF and Fertility Clinic at Chatswood in
Sydney. He has owned and operated the clinic since 2004.
He is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.
Patients from across Australia and different countries seek his advice and
received his treatment.
Dr Kenneth Snell has been acknowledged in the press and on radio and
television in Australia, Korea and England and on the internet world wide.
He is a member of the Fertility Society of Australia, the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine and the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Association.
Natural fertility is a specialised area of his training.
