Following a recent laparoscopy procedure, I have been diagnosed with fibroids. Two of these are the size of a small orange & are blocking my ovaries. The consultant was very bleak & suggested that I have a myoectomy performed. I am petrified of this as the consultant highlighted all the risks, including hysterectomy & death. Yet I want to try everything possible. I would appreciate your views on this & whether there is any benefit of trying Chinese medicine. Thank you. Dear Jill,

I've been trying to conceive for 3 years since I met my husband at 40. I live in Sydney, Australia, and I tried 4 Chinese Medicine specialists, 2 Western herbs ones, and one who combined them. I haven't achieved my dream after thousands of dollars spent on it. Dear Jill,

Chinese medicine is sometimes portrayed as this weird, esoteric, new age medicine when in fact nothing could be farther from the truth. Rooted in folk medicine and based on thousands of years of empirical observation Chinese medicine is practical and straight forward. In my own practice I find that if I explain the concepts without jargon or added mystique my patients respond with enthusiasm because they recognize a way of seeing the world that expresses some universal truths.
