What Happens When I Donate My Eggs?

From the blog: “The first phase includes rigorous medical testing which includes a complete personal and family history, a physical exam, an ultrasound, a pap smear if needed, blood tests, including testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and a urinalysis.”

Can A Deep Tissue Massage Help Heal Sports Injuries?

From the blog: “Whether it is simply torn muscles from over-extension, or a more serious injury that required surgery, a regular massage schedule should be part of a rehabilitation program. Combined with physical therapy exercises, a deep tissue massage of the shoulder region can increase blood flow to the affected muscles and can prevent formation of painful scar tissue.”

Vitamin D in Pregnancy

From the blog: “If you want to have healthy bones and teeth, you should start taking vitamin D immediately. If you are pregnant, your ultimate goal is to provide your child with the sufficient amount of the vitamin for the first months of his life, taking approximately ten micrograms of vitamin D.”

Essential Vitamins for Flawless Skin
