Fertile Vs. Infertile: How Infections Affect Your Fertility And Your Baby's Health [ILLUSTRATED] (Hardcover)

by A. Toth (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Fertile vs. Infertile emphasizes in a very clear way the importance of sexually transmitted infections (STI). In the U.S. alone, about 15 million individuals contract an STI annually. Unfortunately, this field is not given the proper attention by many urologists and gynecologists and by those dealing with infertility. The number of suffering and frustrated patients is therefore extremely high. Young people are rarely informed properly about the high incidence of symptom-free but potentially devastating sexual infections. Hopefully this book will be the badly needed alarm clock for both the lay public and the medical profession.

About the Author
Today fifteen percent of married couples suffer from infertility. Dr. Attila Toth's thirty years as a practicing infertility specialist and pathologist have convinced him that the only explanation for this alarming infertility rate, so far out of proportion with natural law, is the increasing presence of contaminating bacteria in the genital tracts of both sexes. In this book, he documents how and why this process has escalated so dramatically over the past few decades of increased sexual activity. Attila Toth, MD; Associate Clinical Professor, Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, board certified in both Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pathology. His first book, Fertility Solution was published by Atlantic Monthly in 1991. Practice is limited to infertility and treatment of genital tract infections

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Infertility Treatment, May 19, 2007

By	Older Mom - See all my reviews

This is a revolutionary, ground-breaking study of the importance of bacterial infections in causing infertility. I was treated by Dr. Toth after suffering miscarriages at the age of 43, and conceived my second son at 45 and my daughter at 47, both after treatments with him. I only hope more women learn of his methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! Of critical importance!, November 17, 2004

By	Sharon Smith (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fertile Vs. Infertile: How Infections Affect Your Fertility And Your Baby's Health (Paperback)

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Toth's crucial work which is clearly described in this book. I was referred to Dr. Toth by several women who regained health and achieved successful pregnancies after Dr. Toth treated them for chronic infections not addressed by other physicians. Although I consulted many well-respected NYC specialists for pelvic pain and malaise, only Dr. Toth diagnosed and treated my condition correctly. Despite normal laboratory findings and a history of very few sexual partners, a laparoscopy revealed an active pelvic infection. I referred a friend to Dr. Toth and she delivered a healthy baby after Dr. Toth treated her and her husband for infection. A physician they had consulted previously, had diagnosed genital infection as a probable cause of their inferitlity, yet inadequately treated their condition. Recent research correlates medical deseases such as heart disease with chronic infections. Dr. Toth outlines the connection between medical problems, low-grade infections and reproductive difficulties. Dr. Toth therefore emphasizes the importance of adquately treating genital track infections prior to planning for childbearing. I am using a pen name because of the sensitive nature of this topic. I feel so grateful that I learned of Dr. Toth and and benefited from his work. I was so pleased to see this book as it will likely help a larger number of women and couples be exposed to Dr. Toth's critical findings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Great Book, October 17, 2004

By	Bradley R. Hennenfent "Author of SURVIVING PR... (Downstate, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have never met Dr. Toth in person, but I have heard about him off and on for years at various scientific meetings. I bought his book and sat down and read all of it in two days and it was fascinating. Clearly, Dr. Toth as both a pathologist and obstetrician-gynecologist has done seminal work in infertility. The book reads fast and reads well, and appears to be aimed at the average lay reader. There are logical and brilliant ideas in this book that I have never seen anywhere else. A great book!
