Re: Alternative Fertility Treatment (February 2004)
i am writing to give a very heartfelt recommendation for sally savitz if you are considering accupuncture to address infertility issues. at 36 i was diagnosed with ''premature ovarian failure.'' three different fertility specialists told me that my chances of a successful pregnancy were less than 1/100. two of the three wouldn't even try drugs or IVF with me; the third agreed to (with the warning that even IVF would only increase my chances to 3 or 4%), but i didn't respond to any of the drugs. i had seen sally for other issues, so i asked her to help with my fertility. i began seeing her on a weekly basis for treatment. at the same time, i read up on yoga, meditation, vitamins, etc., so that i could approach it from all angles (''inconceivable'' is a good book outlining this approach). for my 38th birthday (after a cancelled IVF cycle, and before starting what was going to be our second & final IVF attempt), we went to europe for a vacation . . . and i conceived my perfect, adorable daughter, who is now four months old! i had a joyful, problem-free pregnancy and an unmedicated 5 hour labor. although one never knows for sure what causes a pregnancy to finally take, i know that sally made it happen for me. she is an extremely accomplished, experienced professional (plus a wonderful human being) and i trust her absolutely. after my daughter's birth, sally came to see us in the hospital and it was just so incredibly special. i understand what you're going through & it's very hard. i hope it all works out for you. hilary

Re: Acupuncturist for Fertility (Sept. 2003)
I highly recommend Sally Savitz for fertility related acupuncture. I tried to get pregnant for 18 months (and I was under 30) without success. I saw her twice and was pregnant that same month! Good luck. She's in Oakland - 655-9644

I heartily recommend Sally Savitz, M.S., L.Ac., who is also a homeopath. She's great with kids as well as adults and thanks to her, we've finally broken the vicious cycle of antibiotics and the side effects (persistent ringworm), and Chris (my six year old son), hasn't had an ear or sinus infection for almost a year! (He was getting one every other month, every time he caught a cold, from 3 to 5 years old). She's located at 5346 College Avenue, a little south of Rockridge, and her phone number is (510) 655-9644.

I've heard that the Hahnemann Clinic is a great place to go for Homeopathic treatment, though I don't know how they'd be specifically for Bach remedies. From personal experience, I can recommend Sally Savitz on College as a Homeopathic practitioner and Acupuncturist, though I don't know how she is with kids. And you can get the Bach remedies at the Whole Foods on Telegraph at Ashby, so there's no need to stop the treatments!

Good luck!

In case you haven't decided yet, here's one more recommendation for a homeopathic doctor: Sally Savitz, on College Avenue in Oakland. She is also an acupuncturist (who I saw throughout my pregnancy and since), she's a wonderful person and very skilled. She also treats lots of kids, and loves that part of her practice, especially. Has treated our daughter, now 17 months old, for an earache, a persistent cough, and most recently, for her biting compulsion! I have several friends who also send their kids to her, and are satisfied with the results. She's also on call for consultations for kids. Good luck! Sally
