I’m an M.D and was extremely skeptical about Chinese Medicine. After three failed IVF’s, I was willing to try another approach to getting pregnant. Bina is a wonderful educator and practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. After taking Chinese herbs for three months I began to feel better than I had in years. I was preparing for another round of IVF when I found out I was pregnant. I would highly, highly recommend Bina as an alternative to IVF. — Sonya G., MD
