A Special Guest Visits PFC: Dr. Daoshing Ni, D.O.M, L.AC., Ph.D.
On May 15th, we were fortunate to have Dr. Daoshing Ni, D.O.M, L.AC., Ph.D., a Licensed Acupuncturist in the State of California, a Diplomat of Chinese Herbology, and a 76th generation acupuncturist come to speak at PFC about the benefits of combining acupuncture and ART.
Dr. Ni spoke about some of his own research studies on acupuncture and ART and also discussed some of the issues with the current protocols that are being used today. He emphasized that the Paulus protocol is a good guideline when doing embryo transfers, and he encouraged the addition of other supportive acupuncture points. He also strongly encouraged that patients be treated with Chinese medicine for at least 3 months before their ART cycle begins. Dr. Ni also spoke about how the use of Chinese herbs contribute to improving egg quality.
This outstanding program was attended by PFC’s acupuncturists, physicians, and staff. In addition, area wide acupuncturists were invited to hear Dr. Ni’s presentation, meet one another, and share ideas.
