My guest is Elizabeth Carman, Ph.D. In 1989, Elizabeth began exploring life before birth and interviewed mothers reporting communications with their unborn children via dreams, visions, an inner voice, feeling the child’s presence, telepathy, and a host of other announcing signs. Thousands of children also reported memories of their journey from the spiritual world to conception, life in the womb, and birth itself. These stories will draw you into a new world of wonder about consciousness before birth.

info_outlineOn this episode my guest is Dr. Jiling Hu. She is a licensed acupuncturist with an office in West Los Angeles. Dr. Hu has over 30 years clinical experience in gynecology and endocrinology and specializes in treating endocrine issues and women’s reproductive and overall health. She specializes in fertility challenges that are related to immune and endocrine disorders, unexplained infertility, irregular menstruation, PCOS, dysmenorrhea, menopause and other female aging related conditions. Her extensive education in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine gives her a unique perspective in treating her patients holistically.
Dr. Hu had 8 years medical training at Hubei University and Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She received a Master’s degree in endocrinology and immunological disorders, which integrated TCM and Western medicine. After completing her graduate studies, she was an Attending TCM Physician at the distinguished China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing for 4 years before she came to US.
Since having relocated to Los Angeles in 1996 from Beijing, Dr. Hu has been teaching at both Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine for over 23 years. Before opening her private practice she was with the Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine in Santa Monica.
Modern science has helped numerous people get pregnant and/or make having a baby possible - however many couples trying to get pregnant find themselves turning to an age-old treatment for help -- one so steeped in tradition it's about as far from life in the 21st century as one can get. That treatment is acupuncture, and today, even high-tech reproductive specialists are consistently looking to Chinese medicine to help those fertility patients for whom western science alone is not quite enough. In fact many scientific studies are concluding that adding Chinese Medicine to a woman’s protocol increases her chances of success significantly.
