Miscarriage Case Study (PART 4)
Subsequent consult — 8 Weeks Later
*Susan and Peter Smith (names have been changed for privacy reasons)
On the previous visit we had ascertained some major changes upon reviewing all recent blood test results:
- IgA + IgG for Candida were normal
- Positive IgM for Cardiolipin antibodies went from high positive to undetected.
- Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) went from positive to undetected
- Prolactin was normal.
- Haemoglobin levels were back to normal.
- All liver enzymes were normal
- B12 normal
- Day 21 progesterone normal
- Gliadin Antibodies (EIA) undetected.
- Mercury levels went from 50 times higher than normal to 7 times higher than normal.
Susan had discussed things with Peter and they decided they wanted to start trying to conceive. The mercury had not decreased any further, she didn’t’ undertake the far-infrared sauna treatments, but had been doing the baths. She was feeling positive that most things had been resolved over the past few months and they wanted to try. She had decided if she was to miscarry one more time, then she would seek further treatment for the mercury levels.
I reviewed her supplementation, changed her herbs, which she was to take up to about 14 weeks to with the aim to maintain her progesterone levels nice and high and prevent miscarriages. And I discussed conception timing with her.
One week later Susan conceived. Susan and Peter were of course ecstatic! All that nice work had paid off, now of course we needed to ensure the treatment was focused at keeping the pregnancy to term. She continued on her supplements and anti-miscarriages herbs until 14 weeks.
She had a non-remarkable pregnancy, which in other words was totally remarkable! She experienced no problems apart from blocked nose and ears early on. Throughout Susan’s pregnancy she was one of the most glowing pregnant women! At 34 weeks she was started on a ‘partus prep’ mix and after a four-hour labour (with her first baby!!!) she gave birth to a healthy baby boy!
Needless to say that after such anticipation Susan and Peter were both over the moon!
In 2008 Susan has given birth to her 3rd healthy child and Peter and Susan now feel their family is complete, although they contemplate a 4th!
