Does he REALLY want to be a dad?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Pre ICSIBne 1986, Shane, 24 TTGP 7 years – only pus and
dead bits of sperm after a massive testicular infection 8 years before.
Within two weeks she was pregnant – both of them 3 sessions/week. (I was only out of my own maternity leave for this time)
Massive 8 extras clearance, with lymphatic drainage, moxa on needles and Western herbs, dietary advice and supplements.
(She had been previously on Chlomed massive doses, on the off-chance a live sperm found its way in - & her life horror after in the past decades as a result of this

Pre ICSIBne 1987. Bryan, Fireman. 30 only 1 million sperm
– down from 5 million which made his 6 year old.
Donor sperm had not worked in IVF latest round (had to be at least 30% looking normal – but he had not enough to use even).
Had been to another acupuncturist – seemed to be just building Ki points – so I used my usual moving blockages approach – one session initially weekly till his health was improved, then fortnightly – within 4 months - sperm had improved enough for him to continue baby making naturally at home. .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Pre ICSI - ShaneBne 1996
Moved up from Sydney, where they would not accept his sperm as too damaged (when 30% was pass mark).
A year working with him only – then they went back to Sydney, different IVF clinic – no questions asked as he was easily well over the expected levels, and she was then easily pregnant on IVF.
(His father was a waste empire person, so he had spent his youth in garbage and heavy metal contamination).
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
BrentonBne 2014 27 yo,
2 rods in his back when 15yo, as severe scoliosis
Varicocele repaired 18 months ago – but still infertile.
Took Western herbs and some supplements – no idea results as the abnormals in last few were missing.
(Count - less than 1 million/ml)
Somewhere between 6 - 10% normal looking.
No sperm defragmentation test done.

Compare with Kevin
Bne 2013/4 39 yo TTGP 8 years – all natural therapists, IVF did not work.
Mild CP from birth injury, adopted out after first 6 months in Irish orphanage.
Is now in a much better condition, BUT BBT still 36.2 and
She (45) has significant PCOS issues and is well now – as opposed to all other natural therapists focusing on fertility for both.
He is resistant to all changes, still smoking, sometimes taking herbs, supplements, invariably not showing up for appointments.
Getting very angry with me in sessions, very stressed at work and taking it out on her – (not growing into being a dad-to-be).

Questions to startDo you see ‘qualified’ patients?
Qi – flow through all meridians as designed?
Blood – is it blocked - small veins?
Heart – are they open to change?
Sexuality – is it easy and fun?
Relating – are they ‘on same page’?
(Or are your seeing one of the not-parents only?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
All farmers know . .
Get the best stud possible
Keep the breeding stock well fed and watered
In the best condition prior to mating
if carrying multiples – need supplementation
As few stressors as possible give the best results
All know to not get in between a just birthed mammal and her offspring
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
An elder, noticing changes In my time in clinic I have seen increasingly in
patients:
1) – Disempowerment and inability to think independently
2) - A loss of common sense across all human life (“What does ‘research’ show?”)
3) – A stunning lack of relationship cause to effect
4) – ‘What is in it for me?” Take hold
5) - Instant gratification being the sole driver – no thought or care for what follows – esp in reproduction

Tribal wisdoms
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Why are we here?
Depends on your culture as to what story pops up
Biologically – to reproduce – the bottom circle.
Karmically/spiritually - to experience
‘Our’ culture – depends on what religious creed as to what you think.
All have tribes of inclusion/exclusion.
All run by commonality of beliefs. .

Further questions . .
What brought YOU into this style of healing
What are you comfortable with?
What part of the person are you working as?
What part are they engaged with you/here as?
Where do you work from?
What is the point of consciousness that allows the most change in a session – or in life?

We ‘want’ . . .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
What is health?
Ability to adapt to change
All made slightly different (hence meiosis – sexual division - not mitosis) – so when conditions change, some will survive ..
BUT with all the alterations – esp. with vaccinations and thus inserted/embedded debris – maybe not ..
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
What does disease teach?
Breeching of homeostasis
A need to return to balance
Suffering .. .
Relieved through acceptance

Specifically in reproduction
Experts no longer seem to see the obvious – it takes two to make a baby) (Henry VIII th phenomena)
Leaving well alone gives the best results.
(What used to work still does)
No improvements in health outcomes past a great deal of $$ made and a fear of trusting self and nature
It takes a village, and an intact culture to rear a well adjusted adult, with a sense of purpose and belonging

How Jing Manifests
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Where does Jing come from?
Parents
Their parents
Post natally – made well (10% of babies born in Bne are preterm). (WHY?)
Orderliness and security of life
Good ingredients, potential allowed to express – epigenetics.
Early life regularity/sense of calm and safety.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
In East Asian medicine
In the West, a loss of perspective – health?
Disease management is sooo much more profitable though . .
As Dr John Shen always said – always follow life.
Instead – those with a perceived science and past medical status being validated as though that gives them advantage.
Journals with medically trained specialists - physios and their versions; midwives and theirs; scientists and GP’s; theirs - where is the pure energy work, and heart, and soul being taken as the real gold standard?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Examples of what I mean Dr Hammer in his pulse work – leaves out what underpins all
the work - Dr Shen’s system’s model. (Also Dr Shen’s work on what breaks a human – in all stages)
No mention of the Bao Mai connection and how we are all creatures with heart and soul in pregnancy texts geared for medicos (need to get away from us being ‘woo woo’ . . . . .)
1. Texts missing normal, especially foundation of life
2. How to make a great baby and what is needed of mum prior to conception
3. Dad’s bad sperm and what comes next – implantation failures, miscarriages, dud babies and a lot of heart-break - then he walks.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
It is all about him
Fertility is a measure of health - all farmers know this.
BBT? Rectal – see past P/P
Early life – was it stable/moderate/respectful?
Breeding history – what about lineage/exposure to fetal and environmental toxins?
His body – made well?Accidents?
Drugs/modern life impacts
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Are they even at the same point in their
lives?

The Great Sperm Race
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Mum can’t get dad over the baby line without his
help
In my 35 years of working in fertility/obstetrics . .
No failures – except – when lack of patience and my not seeing him. He holds the baby key.
Hence – I have a stack of infertile results – with only a handful of ‘good’ ones in all that time.
(Where are the unfortunate partners to the women who are too fat, too thin, too neurotic, too end, too old etc?
All are dads – as one gets the one pregnant.
BUT the men are no longer good enough to just treat her.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Sperm free fall 1980’s – had to be at least 80.5% visually normal
looking – one head, one tail and a rounded head of on it – to be considered the LEAST fertile.
1990’s - dropped to 50%
1996 – dropped to 30%
2000’s – dropped to 14/5%
2010 – dropped to where ICSI can potentially help – anything over 3%.
These figures are the bottom dwellers - not to be aspired to.
DNA fragmentation Is not measured by these tests.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Recent dwindling possibilities
Bne 2014 David 3 IVF attempts with 15 normal – most 2 headed and 2 tailed (Why??) and only 3 million per ml.
No one mentioned what he could do to help become a dad. He has also roseacea, high BP (on medication), reflux, IBS, hot feet and is a very hot sleeper at night.
This is all by 28 yo!!One hour’s cross fit exercise every day.
Rectal BBT 36.1 C.
No Sperm defragmentation test done.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Why we need good sperm
250 million start out . .
Few left after ejaculation, getting through the cervix and the ambush awaiting there - esp with immune system to attack sperm
Must find the Fallopian tube entrance.
Go through there (maybe 20 left)
Fight to fertilise (maybe just 2 left)
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Fallopian tube
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Perhaps ponder
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Assume all want same outcome
IVF clinics are now listed on the Stock Market.
I watch patently unwell, couples desperate, seduced by marketing, and false hopes, with no inherent idea of what makes a well pregnancy or baby .
I watch acupuncturists treat only the wrong person.
Believing the 4% (or 15% looking ‘normal’ until Oct 2010) will be good enough to make babies.
Where is the survival of the fittest?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Just how good is good enough?
So we pretend it is all done in a petrie dish . .
Do we know if the medium used is inert, or going to create genes going on and off when not appropriate – in the offspring of the offspring?
All the checks to ensure this sperm can make it – have we removed them at our peril?
Is good enough really good enough?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Not just Chinese herbsRajish came in with his wife. He had two sperm
tests – two years apart. The first showed 10 million /ml and 5% normal forms. The second was 50 million /ml and 80% normal forms.
The difference? Ayurvedic herbs from his uncle, when he went home to India for a while.
Paul – stopped all coffee, drank only water and ate more protein – and accidentally they are pregnant with No 2.
He was 9 years TTGP with first wife, who was pregnant easily 6 months after leaving him.

Capacitation – fuel?Ki Qi??/Liver Qi?
Sperm must swim in highly viscous fluids.
They do so by propagating waves
Fuelled by ???
Ki yang/Liver Qi . . .
All designed to weed out those that can’t do it well.
Survival of the fortunate does not equate with vibrancy.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

ICSI
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
So if it is done in a dish . .
No quality control .. . Do they get capacitation going?
ICSI – apparently visually perfect may have no chance . . Those babies more likely to be ‘no good’ ..
IVF scientists said – at least 60% now embedded were chromosomally damaged.
Prior to the pesticide/radiation/toxicity crisis – all I worked on did not miscarry . . . (Pre 30 years ago)
Now - why would you try to stop a miscarriage?

Baby Ingredients
Conscious intention at this point in the planet’s life
Clean environment to allow normal to thrive
Good sperm
Good eggs
Great garden for planting (soil, weather conditions)
Nutrition and safety in gestationNZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Acrosomes
Sydney patient – at present just Skype - 33 years old - 100%of his sperm have acrosome damage.
No normal forms.
Also – leaks prior to all urination (Urge incontinence)
Has done for at least 10 years.
Has apparently no trouble with his health . . BBT 36.6!
Yet to see him – she also has problems . . No point IVF
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
IdeallySperm quantity - should be 200-300 million/ml
Sperm quality – (morphology) should be at least 90% NORMAL looking (now the bar is over 3% or 4% - down from 15% in 2010 and from 30% in early 2000’s and 50% from 1990’s and 80.5% in 1980)
Motility – most rapidly swimming in a forwards direction . .
DNA intactness – quality measure – (no good just having one head and one tail of normal appearance) at least get the DNA fragmentation test done .as an extra so you can all see where it has been initially.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

These figures may seem odd
They are what was normal and are now not.
(Unless he is creating miscarriage through his caffeine habits .. Melissa’s man – even his own mum wondered).
He tested 46% normal looking and 346 million/ml . .
And 4 miscarriages and no sex for 8 months, as she does not want another miscarriage and the GP says - ‘go to IVF’ . . (so she can lose two or three at once??)
After 4 ½ months both off caffeine, she instantly conceived and held onto this baby.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

Normal digestion
Dependent upon the TH system to not be broken.
Good gut flora itself dependent upon food in, metabolism (Yang QI) working well –low thyroid info) and a happy disposition – with few toxins cellular or situational.
Need micro and macro minerals to allow the ‘hormones’ – esp thyroid to function.
The gut should support life of mum and her fetus, if no cold, or anger is stored, (esp in the form of gall bladder heat/stones/resentment) and the gut flora are well.

Digestion – what should happen
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
3 sons - 10 years before 2008 - International pilot, 42.
Vasectomy reversed. Apparently all ‘her’ fault.
5 miscarriages - she just turned 40 – and her age is seen as why the losses are all at 6 weeks 3 days each . .
GP would not test him – ‘no need to test sperm as she is getting pregnant – must be bad eggs – too old’ . .
Until testing showed only 5% of his sperm were normal and there were only 11 million of them.
She was diligently (at 40!!) conceiving to lose every month, as his sperm were just no good.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
IVF even did not work
Acup and herbs/supplements /life changes improved visual sperm quality significantly - - then they went to IVF.
Got 20 eggs – all fertilised.
What had happened to him in the interim? (Between 3 sons and now?)More radiation than optimal?More life stress?
Please do not assume it is her . . Age or state of health – as it looks as though the modern world is out to kill off the men . .
She was in a perfect state of health - especially after all the work put in to make her Blood energy perfect.
Embryos made were all genetically not good.

Not starting from the beginning
Need a steady place to grow baby – in the world, society, couple relationship, mum’s body
Sex is to make babies
Healthy means fertile.

Common story
She is looking for baby #2
42, grossly overweight, grateful I am seeing her.
Told she is ‘too fat’ and ‘too old’.
Also he has ‘super sperm’
BUT . .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Extra problems. . .Retroverted uterus – and they have been avoiding
their favourite position – which was in effect great contraception – as they needed to be using deep rear penetration.
Were using saliva as lube as she as always dry (digesting the sperm)
Neither were able to sleep as baby had renal reflux.
Their house was always being broken into as it looked totally wrecked from outside (EQ in Chch problem).
Sperm were only 18% looking normal anyway . .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Apparently ‘need’ donor eggs
Chch 2010 – (31 yo) Found a donor – came to see about her health post implantation – I said - need better sperm.
Supposedly he had ‘super sperm’ quality according to her IVF doctor. (20% only).
Suggested she made large food changes, took a few vitamins, laid them out for him (his sperm to be used) and some sexual adjustments when they were about 3 months into new foods/no caffeine.
Donor cycle did not work, but she was naturally pregnant after a holiday and was sure that the change to deep rear penetration worked!!
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Donor eggs *2
Brisbane, 2007 M, 31, been on IVF for 5 years – first cycle a miscarriage and nothing since then.
Apparently ‘need’ donor eggs but they have run out of $
20 kg overweight, lost a tube to IVF, felt literally mad; not like ‘herself’ for years.
One year later, coming to me I spotted his dodgy sperm (50 million, 15 % normal) after only drinking soft drink, having a headache daily, tongue said it all first time I saw him – so he was the focus in food/exercise changes – think patchy yellow coating with cracks . .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Patience needed for repair
Once $5,000 worth of patch-her-up surgery post IVF was done, they had no more money.
Went off to continue good eating, living well, with her gradually still losing weight, both feeling fantastic
Naturally pregnant after repairing from the medical madness (IVF is not the first place to start – healthy parents-to-be is).
She had Factor Five Leiden, and the IVF doctor did not speak of pregnancy likely complications with her.

Sperm any good?No one is testing for caffeine
SOME one is going through all the ‘Red Bull’, ‘Mother’, ‘V’ and coffee and all that coke.
Brisbane 2007 - Mike – and his wife did not want needles – just advice.
He was drinking 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee a day (‘but it is alright it – is ‘decafe’)
Off this and on vitamins, ecstatically pregnant 6 weeks later, lost it and then two in 14 months accidentally – caffeine was finally out of his system)

Toxins
Go to www.ourstolenfuture.org
Look up ‘body burden’
Read ‘Slow Death by Rubber Duck’/’Toxin Toxout’
Remember ‘The Silent Spring’
Look around – Roundup, Wifi, phone in pocket, dirty electricity, halides, heavy metals and all toxic residue the rain rains down through, leaving its load in the soil to be growing our food.

Melbourne 2014All women I saw on the locum were with men with
under 5% normal looking sperm - yet all were told that they needed donor eggs.
None were informed that their men were really infertile.
All thought it was their age (three were over 40): all with remarkably stressful lives. Thin, ‘neurotic’/Blood def
One had husband as a diesel mechanic, one dealt in new cars and smoked, all were sure it was them alone stopping babies. (often PCOS, no period/stressed)

Treatment Strategies
Animal breeders and farmers start with great stock.
Patience and self discovery grows the inner person, who will be a better parent.
Get rid of what is clogging up the system, to allow nature to reassert itself.
How can we help nature to make the best baby with the strongest Jing possible? (Not just any old baby - the apparently fastest way).

50% to 95% in 2 months Bne 2007
100 million/ml to 225 million/ml
How?Life changes back to as near as 30 years ago as possible.
No ‘treatment’ – just more conscious living,
Drinking only water, eating only protein, fat and 4 ++cups veggies daily: no gadgets after 7pm, bed asleep by 9pm, a lot of exercise.

Men’s issuesWarm feet - at night/often sleeping hot (often years)
Low basal temp – often 35.5 – most under or just in 36 C – in a ‘straw poll’, in 2006, only one of 27 has normal – 36.8 – usually a man with a partner not pregnant is not even 36.6!!!
Cool to touch penis – when erect
Gut issues – either active IBS/reflux or easily seen by looking at the mess on his tongue . .
Exercise/lifestyle – usually sedentary & toxic.

Sacred foods
All traditional societies ensured the health of the true through keeping all in good condition as could afford to.
No vegetarians – all need to eat organs and all ‘cheap’ parts (non muscle is best).
‘The Nourishing Traditions of Baby and Child Care’ – Sally Fallon Morel and Thomas Cohen cover it well.
Variety, colour, moderation, nutrient dense
Fat and sun needed for mineral absorption
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Supplements Vit C - at least 15 gms daily – initially to assist detox
of liver and addicted substances -maybe drop to reasonable levels – then at least 5 gm still
E and Selenium added
Need B complex, magnesium esp topically
Glutathione – esp useful – ingredients – far more deeply coloured veggies - and sulphurous ones (kale, brussels’ sprouts, garlic, eggs)
Read ‘Research into Improving Sperm Quality’ eBook
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE

1 - Clear out what is not supposed to be there
Trauma, esp stopping digestive processesOld stories – behaviors/habits sitting upon their
hearts and soulsAll non nutritive ingestiblesToxins held within fat cells - use liquid activated
zeolites to safely remove. What is blocking life?All heat sources - and technological equipment
that is frying sperm generating cells.
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
2 - Add in what is critical
Water - pure and lots of it – non chilledFat – as the basis of all hormones and spermProtein – as the body’s building blockMineral and vitamins – in the form of
varied, extensive plants and nuts/seedsTraditionally based diets – all ate
omnivorously and all of the animal - as the bone broths and organ meats hold the keys to human health and vitality.

Still may not be enough . .
In the 1970’s – just needed to treat her – for ??? a few sessions and she was pregnant. (He was naturally fertile - no huge reservoir ofchemical toxins, Wi fi, phones in pockets, caffeine.
In the 80’s – some vitamins and still just her.
In 90’s – minerals added in. Men appear (no ICSI).
2000 - herbs added. Easy – esp with both on board.
2010 – when 4% was ‘good enough’ . .
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
3 - Natural living - Sleep/exercise (in sun &
fresh air)
’Common sense’ . . . What all grandparents would sayIncludes feeling safe – this may cycle back to 1) –
above Rest and regeneration away from all electrical and
lighting circuitry – esp no Wifi, electronics, or new phones switched on near sleeping area.
Sleep - at least 7 hours preferably more and before10 pm – preferably before 9pm.
This is a major cause of the BBT /thyroid/adrenal collapse as all are then using their ‘free’ time to entertain themselves, instead of restructuring the day light-hours.

3) continued – common sense
Sunlight – vital for health – and Vit D levels to be topped up with supplements initially to be at the top range of ‘normal’ – as all hormones and life depend upon its existence. (aim for at lest 100nm/l)
Physical exercise - at least an hour daily – with at least half of this as cardio to ensure all circulation is able to move and the oxygenation so very important for life is happening – outside in fresh air.
Standing and moving all day – not sitting – if a ‘desk’/computer job – standing desk – not bunching up the pelvic area as it needs to be free flowing and the scrotal area needs to be cool and well ventilated.

4 – Couples at play
Touching/clearing massage, moxa, bonding activities, way more sexual expression
At least half an hour of touching daily – non sexual. (This will increase the couple bonding and oxytocin thus hormonal levels to enable the ‘feel good’ mechanisms to turn on baby making activities).
Even living in the same place helps .. (FI/FO)

Home moxa
Instructions in ‘What Dads Can Do’ DVD
and also online – www.simple-natural-solutions.com.au
Moxa – Bl 23., GV 3, 4 and CV 4, 6, St 36 – as all will enhance the production for better Jing . .and of course ramp up the Ki Yang to allow sexual expression and the increased sperm production -
Placental enhancement also – pelvic circulation to be boosted.

Massage techniques as per WDCD work – and the moxa first as it moves and warms and lets the obstructions clear ahead of the massage so it is far less painful/more enjoyable – and gives the boost to the sometimes flagging Kidney Qi that needs to be there for all aspects of sexuality and reproductive vigour.
Prostatic drainage (see below) – easily done - at last weekly and more if there is significant pain and blockage in the pelvic region – as discovered when doing this work. When it is not painful – and drop it to monthly – as long as the testicular function is normal – if not – keep going at least weekly till it is.

What we add into the mixSupport above
1 – Why? (Jing markers /TH/inner duct info)
2 - BBT – Yang measure – ad thus gut/allergies/auto immune and blood stagnation
3 - Undoing what is blocked – scars, old trauma
4 - Direct them to lifestyle issues that have been missed
5 - Dietary changes - as in nutrient dense

Questions .. .
Look at what makes good periods/eggs/sperm
What does Ki yang mean in sexuality?
Why is ‘normal’ not happening?
Look to male BBT – is it rectally 36.6/8 initially in am? See www.easybabies.com.au
What needs to be cleared out before a new project (baby) can be started? (Do we build a new house before cleaning out the block? Why think it appropriate with making a baby?)

Until recently . .
No men without babies and having a normal temperature . . Was my ‘gold standard’ . .
Now there is so much toxicity – phthlates?
Dirty electricity? Wifi? Phones in pockets?
Pesticide and chemical residue?
Accumulation of distress on every level giving mixed signals
Who really knows?

Undo what is stopping nature working
1 - Microclimates - removing lurking cold
2 – Unblock meridians – scars/bleed veins
3 - Using massage with acupuncture to improve outcomes

MICROCLIMATES?
Past the rectal BBT,
Palpation will direct you.
Returning to our medicine and energy we will again be empowered as healers.
Where did we forget that the body has ENERGY and it can flow or stagnate?
From there – all PHYSICAL blockages eventually become named /medical conditions.

What I have seen happen so far
Instant suppleness of the joint
Headaches/stuffy head/sinuses cleared
Sense of lightness in the legs
Cleared whites of eyes
Veins in other foot disappear so I can’t bleed them
Leg/shoulder joint pain/stiffness remove

In women
Get them to pull up vaginal muscles, then start on the inner thigh/Sp channel broken veins – the smallest possible.
Any change will impact on how they feel.
The tongue may not change – but their sensation of being in their body will.

Why/how?
Bleeding the congestion in the Luo releases the Qiao
What do the Qiao vessels do again?
Yang – provide circulation from the head/eyes
Yin – to the head and eyes
Brain – all matters
Lateral body, esp joints

Outcomes
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Why?
My personal practical positive
Is more effective and less painful than strong needle stimulation
Allows the time to RELATE with the patient and for them to feel cared for – and to calm down (we ARE primates)
It works!!!!!! (Results = ’evidence’ based)

Protocol
Moxa on sacrum to loosen the yang
Stuck Liver Qi – bra line area
Sacral/pelvic opening
Upper lymphatic drainage
Lower lymphatic
Prostatic drainage if male
Incorporate needles as required – I usually intersperse massage as I go (see articles on sharpen–up site)

Prostate Work
Actually invaluable for prostate health
Fertility – esp assisting varicosele and other physical damage (think stray hits to genitals over a lifetime)
Cardiac clearance – frees upper heater
Often frees up the lower back issues
Allows all meridians free movement – all associated with Liver/emotional /sexuality
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Prostatic Drainage Protocol
1. Cup cold from navel if belly cool
2. Massage sacral area after sacral moxa
3. Attend to any relevant scarring (blocking channel flow)
4. Needle Bl sacral points and all other relevant – Shen calming etc . .
5. Master Points and belly moxa on needles
6. Possibly upper lymphatic THEN this . . .

Most Men
Prostatic drainage
Find this extremely uncomfortable
Reassure them that it will not be this bad again.
Use all the moxa and needles first as it softens the pain and maximises positive effects.
Find the left side worse, so do the right first.
Often feel a lot taller immediately after

Baby Making
Where would we expect a builder to start the new project – on the empty block of land, or ON TOP of the derelict building?
To make good sperm – with what is left over from living a life – need the gut and the yang to be strong.
Why do we at least not clear the space (have normal menstruation = good Qi and Blood circulation and production BEFORE attempting to make a new person with the old goods?
NZRA 2014HEATHER BRUCE
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com
Simple!!!!!
Get rid of what is clogging up the system, to allow nature to reassert itself.
In any area – often is in expectations, and even not really being committed to the one who is presently partnering.
Look to life – vets and farmers - no farmer would choose any old stud – needs more than a penis.
Patience and self discovery grows the inner person, who will be a better parent

Usual couples
Of the 20 I have currently seeing me (note couples)
Most man started with more than 5% looking normal sperm. (One had 7%)
Most women have been told it is them holding back the family;
They are too old. (32 +).
It is doubtful anyone would get even pregnant let alone have a baby with any of these men.
Only one started with a normal RECTAL BBT (professional athlete, in training).

This young couple totally committed to making babies as the only way of married life.
Having only miscarriages, less than 1% normal looking sperm, IVF was not an option – left with helping themselves via nature.
