 Topic: anyone used Brad Crouch ????
Posted: 25 March 2009 at 9:37am |

I've had 2 m/c and we're about to start TTC again. A friend who had problems conceiving (IVF failed but she now has 2 healthy boys) recommended we get in touch with the Naturopath Brad Crouch (based in Browns Bay, Auckland). Just wondering if anyone else out there has used him or knows of him???

I used him, not for getting pregnant but something else. He's really nice. When you walk into his reception, its filled with so many pictures of babies that's he's helped bring into the world. He seems to do lots of work abroad too. From what I could tell he has a good reputation.
good luck!

the first batch of prenatal vitamins I brought after we decided to start trying... I had this pharmacy lady tell me if we had any problems, he was THE person to see... no problems, but good to know at least...

I've heard of him, a friend's friend went to him and got pregnant. I was going to call him but that day we had an expo at work and another naturopath was there so I decided it was fate and I should go to her

A couple of girls in my coffee group go to him & rave about him.
One girl was TTC her daughter for 18 months but was pregnant within 3 months of seeing Brad. It's not cheap apparently, but toally worth it I'm sure 
Best wishes.

I went to him and didnt have any luck but I did go to acupuncture to Vitialis in Mairangi Bay (specialises in womans issues and fertility) and I would totally recommend him! he also give you chineese herbs I went for 2 cycles they went from 47-52 to 35 days apart (I have pcos) and I got pregnant 2nd cycle! check out his website!

My cousin kept having miscarraiges and was told she couldn't have children. Brad treated her and today she has 4 healthy boys. She referred me to him for my daughters eczema and allergies. He helped my daughter as well. It's true he does have all the photos of the families with their babies at their office. His wife is lovely she works on the reception. He can diagnose whatever problem you have from looking at the iris in your eye. He helped me identify the weaknesses and strengths I had and now I have the herbal supplement that best helps with the depletion of vitamins and minerals in my body. He's the man to go to.

After being told I wouldn't be able to conceive naturally and after years of trying and a failed IVF, I went to Brad and within 6mths I was pregnant and now have a gorgeous boy! Still don't know if it was the herbs but I would go back again if I have trouble with No. 2 :o)

Yes I do know Brad. Unexplained fertility for 2 years, one miscarriage soon after starting TTC. Really frustrating time. Began with Fertility Assoc had 3 rounds of Clomid but just felt it wasn't right for me. Went to see Brad who felt my miscarriage had "put all my body functions out of kilter". I religously followed his plan which he explained was more about getting my body back to health rather than fertility as I had proved I could conceive. Had to take aprox 3-4 different tablets 3 times a day. It was relatively expensive but no more so than Clomid. I conceived after 4 months on his treatment and am absolutley convinced he made the difference to my health. Incidentally, he is really lovely, nice and direct, not too fluffy and "airy fairy" my husband really liked his very down to earth style.
He is a genius in my view and others I have recommended to him have also had success - good luck!

So sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I had two m/c too before DS. Sorry I don't know anything about this Brad chap, but if you haven't already you might also want to talk to your GP/an OB as there are some tests (usually just bloods I think for recurrent 1st trimester m/cs) that can be done to see if there is a particular problem you might have. Some drs will suggest only doing investigations after 3 m/c but there was no way I was going to go through all that again if I didn't have to, so shop around if necessary. In my case, we didn't get a definitive answer on why I miscarried, but it was found that I had a clotting issue which could have contributed. I was put on medication with my next 2 pregnancies 'just in case' and they were both fine. Good luck.
