Mrs Y.M. came to MART on referral by a
friend on September 2011 at the age of 37. She had been married for
three years. Past medical history showed that she had one patent tube,
as shown by the X-ray of the tubes.
She had three failed IVF attempts at two
different IVF clinics in Lagos. In many of the IVF trials, she said,
they failed because no eggs were found. On one occasion, they found eggs
but the result was still not positive. A donor egg alternative was
recommended for her, but she rejected this because she was very
uncomfortable with the idea.

On examination, she weighed 82.2kg, and
had normal blood pressure. She works in an oil company. And though she
works in the office, she takes occasional trips to the field in the
Niger-Delta region.
She went through our normal IVF
programme, which included ovarian and sperm improvement regimes. She
was given this because she was told that if she had problem with egg
production some few years back, now at 37 it must be a bit more
difficult.
Luckily, during egg recovery procedure
on January 27, 2012, two eggs were retrieved and one embryo eight-cell
Grade A was transferred on January 30th.This attempt was also
unsuccessful by her pregnancy test.
We conducted a failure analysis protocol
on her case. A number of recommendations were highlighted for her. The
most significant one was that if she did not want a donor egg, then her
only possible option was to go for a 10-day Mayr therapy to detoxify.
Thereafter, the chances of having eggs may be improved. She was
counselled that the Mayr therapy practice at the Martlife Detox Clinic,
which was about to open then, was known to have helped many women
conceive after the therapy. The babies are called Mayr babies.
She accepted to go for the therapy. She
prayed hard that this therapy should work for her so she would not need
donor egg for her IVF. That was where the Asyra test (a bio-energetic
scan of the body systems) showed that she had several environmental
toxins in her that had weakened her reproductive system. A 10-day
therapy plan was arranged for her and her husband in June 2012.
The plan included daily abdominal
treatments, Scenar treatment, daily foot detoxification, lymphatic
massages, colon irrigation, body hydrotherapy baths, the physiotherm,
and several other Mayr protocols. She also had a consultation with Mayr
nutritionist who shed more light on her food intolerances. She also went
through a lifestyle modification seminar where she learned how to
maintain a healthier, toxin-free lifestyle beyond her stay at clinic.
She was discharged and then asked to
return to Medical Art Center for a repeat IVF cycle. Mrs. Y.M. called us
in August to inform us that she is now pregnant and was very surprised
it happened naturally! She said the detoxification worked very well. She
delivered a baby boy in February 2013 at the age of 39. The family had a
celebration for their baby and and at Mrs. Y.M’s 40th birthday
recently, family and friends were so thankful that we could establish
the modern Mayr therapy here in Nigeria. They wish many more people
would get to know of the treatment sooner than later.
This case has underscored two important
facts. One is that there are toxins in our environment and in our work
place, especially in such occupations like the oil and gas industry, the
paint industry, as well as in the foods such as the stock fish, and
large fish like mackerel. All these constitute serious health hazards to
us, especially hindering or reducing our reproductive efficiency. Some,
at a later date after consumption, can even be carcinogenic.
The second fact is that detoxification
can be very helpful in reversing some of the possible damages. I also
need to stress that such process must be carefully applied to get rid of
identified toxins and individually customised by experts trained to do
so in reputable centres.
A number of advanced countries that have
oil and gas industry or nuclear power industry ensure that their
workers go for annual detoxification as a replacement for annual
check-ups, in order to rid their system of toxin build-up. I sincerely
hope that such industries in Nigeria will make this a reality for their
workers.
