Effective Natural Treatment for Female Infertility

With over 2,000 babies born and treatment cited as safe and effective in top medical journals, Clear Passage® therapy (CP) provides a well-researched, natural alternative to IVF for treating female infertility. Doctors and scientists who learned of our work directed a series of research studies to document our success. CP’s published success rates are comparable to IVF (CP at 39.4%; IVF at 37.4%) at a fraction of the cost.

Clear Passage® Compared to IVF

As endocrinologists, IVF physicians strive to regulate hormones and create pregnancy in a laboratory setting. Clear Passage® patients conceive by natural intercourse after receiving a hands-on therapy shown to decrease tiny adhesions we often find in the female reproductive tract. CP and IVF each have advantages and disadvantages; each has produced results scientifically measured in published studies. Each can be used as a separate treatment, or the two can be used in concert, with CP clearing adhesions prior to IVF embryo transfer.

The first successful IVF was performed by a British physician in 1978. The first successful Clear Passage® pregnancy occurred in 1989.

Clear Passage® therapy provides specific advantages for some women, including:

CP has opened and returned function to blocked fallopian tubes for hundreds of women
CP therapy is all natural; it feels like a deep, site-specific massage
Unless coupled with IVF, CP pregnancies occur from natural intercourse
CP costs are generally a small fraction of IVF, with similar success rates
Published side effects include significantly decreased pain with intercourse and periods.
Published side-effects include significantly increased sexual function (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction)
CP therapy never needs to be repeated. Many CP patients have had two or three babies in succession after their single 5-day course of treatment.
CP does not require surgical extraction and implantation.
CP does not require patients to inject hormones or medications.
CP avoids all moral, ethical, religious, and cost concerns associated with freezing, storing, or destroying embryos.
After therapy, CP patients simply return home and have intercourse.

 Published Success Rates

Derived from a 10-year study of hundreds of patients, CP success rates for various causes of female infertility are:

Overall

39.4% pregnancies from CP alone (276/701)
42.3% pregnancies from natural and Pre-IVF pregnancies combined (358/847)

Blocked Fallopian Tubes

68.9% opened if no prior tubal surgery (124/180)
34.5% opened in women with prior surgery to their tubes (19/55)
60.9% opened overall, with or without prior tubal surgery (143/235)
56.6% pregnancy in women whose tubes opened (81/143)

Endometriosis

35.9% pregnancy rate, which includes women with total blockage in both tubes (128/299)

PCOS

53.6% pregnancy (15/28)

Advanced Age – FSH over 10 (A benchmark for many MDs refusing to provide IVF)

49.2% FSH decreased (60/122)
39.3% pregnancy in women with FSH over 10, normally refused IVF (48/122)

IVF pregnancies after CP therapy

56.2%, roughly 1.5 times higher than the national rate for IVF (82/146)

POF (Primary Ovarian Failure)

20% pregnancy (1/5)

Unexplained Infertility

25% pregnancy (3/12)

How Clear Passage® Works

Clear Passage® therapy was designed, tested over decades, and found very effective in decreasing internal glue-like bonds called adhesions. We find that adhesions commonly form in the female reproductive tract after a woman’s first intercourse, or before. Here’s how:

Whether by a tampon, partner or other means, the time a non-sterile object enters a woman’s vagina, it can introduce bacteria into an environment designed to nurture life. As they grow, bacteria have access to spread into her entire reproductive tract.

The body’s first response to bacteria is to lay down microscopic but powerful collagen fibers. Like tiny strands of nylon, these fibers group together to surround affected areas as the first step in healing. Those that cause curtain-like adhesions on the vaginal wall can cause pain with intercourse. Early collagen fibers are too small to be seen by doctors and invisible to diagnostic tests, so most doctors have no explanation for the pain they can cause. If a woman has intercourse pain (and many do not), her doctor may treat the symptoms with analgesics or ‘desensitizing’ gels. If pain persists, she may be told: “It’s all in your head.” These fibers are generally easily detached by our therapists.

As bacteria spread in the environment designed to sustain life, adhesions can form on the cervix – the entrance of the uterus. The bonds of cervical adhesions can cause a scar or narrowing (stenosis) at the cervix, with strands reaching up into the uterus. Adhesions that form on the uterine walls can cause spasm or frequent miscarriage by creating surfaces inhospitable to embryo implantation.

Further up the reproductive tract, adhesions are the usual cause of blocked fallopian tubes. They can glue together the tiny flower-like petals of fimbriae at the ends of each tube, preventing them from grasping an egg released from the ovary. These ‘distal’ adhesions can close the tube or create a club-like structure. When they trap bacteria inside the tube, they can create a hydrosalpinx (swollen tube). Further into the reproductive tract, adhesions can form on the ovary due to infection or surgery for women diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Can This Therapy Help Me?

To learn if internal adhesions cause or contribute to your infertility, we will ask you to complete this Medical History Form. This document requests that you share your lifetime history of events that have occurred in your body, especially in your abdomen, pelvis, legs, neck, and head. We want details of any injury, surgery, infection, or systemic condition (such as endometriosis) that occurred over your lifetime. We are glad to consult with your doctor, and we may ask for the diagnostic reports you have gathered over time. We feel you are an expert on your body. For that reason, we invite you to always share any thoughts or intuitions you may have about the cause of your infertility.

We will review the data you submit at no charge, advise you of any concerns we might have, and let you know if we feel we can help you achieve your goals. If you are accepted into our program, we will provide you with the program our researchers have found to be most effective: 20 hours of hands-on therapy that feels like a deep, site-specific massage given over four or five days. While we may give you some tools and advice for a home program, your main job after therapy is to simply return home and have intercourse with your partner.

Why Choose Clear Passage®

We have been treating female infertility since 1989. We hand-pick each therapist based on their years of manual therapy experience, courses attended before we train them, reviews from referring physicians and patients, their compassion, and their ability to listen deeply. We train them extensively in the therapy we have researched and developed over the course of several decades.

We have developed our treatment since 1986 with two goals: safety and effectiveness. We screen each patient for contraindications to therapy. We have treated hundreds of complex patients and conditions; we often consult with physicians and scientists throughout the treatment process to ensure positive outcomes. Our procedures have been shown to be safe, with therapy tailored to each patient’s needs.
