5 years waiting

This is always worth the wait! Another miracle, all natural, infertility success. Welcome to the world baby girl!!!! We've been waiting for you and your parents waited nearly 5 YEARS to birth you.
It was a long hard road to find us so you could then become fertile in a couple of months. Even up until the month you conceived you had yet another doctor tell you that you would need IUI (or possibly IVF) due to a new factor found. We corrected that concern in a few days with two simple steps.

It was also a long, hard, road of labor but she is here! She was born yesterday December 10th at 4:20pm. She weighed 8 pounds, 21 ounces and 21 inches long. Mom, baby and Dad are home already, snuggling in bed.


Their story is not unlike many of our patients' painfully, long, stories. Above all, going through infertility feels like a monthly death. It feels like it will never happen. It feels as though you can't possibly take another piece of bad news, or yet another negative pregnancy test or a negative ovulation prediction. Male factor often gets ignored or the options are immediately IUI or IVF. Many of our patients can't afford IVF so they feel they are out of options, hope and try to go on, not being parents. But this is not the end and they are not out of hope.


But then, by some miracle, they find us. Someone mentions our fertility work. A friend encourages and sometimes begs them to see us. The TV does a segment on our miracle work. A doctor, a midwife or a nurse refers them to us. Then, things change. We are magnets for miracles. We are not doing this alone. Our medicine is so old, it never changes. We are rooted so deep in tradition that our medicine is safe, reliable, and predictable. These are gifts, they are our calling. This is not work.

Tony and Kristen Burris, L.Ac. at their natural fertility center, work together to treat both the woman and the man, cultivating a healthy, fertile environment. We help patients all throughout the United States get pregnant, and have a baby, all without drugs or surgery and at a fraction of the cost.

Male and Female Infertility treated with International success

Read below my response to an out of town couple struggling with low sperm count and fibroids inhibiting their ability to conceive:

Thank you for sharing your fertility struggles. When a husband and wife both receive treatment from us they are the most successful in getting pregnant. We have already had two births this year where the husbands and wives were taking supplements and herbal medicine prescribed by me and my husband, Tony Burris, L.Ac., M.S.T.O.M. for infertility.




The best advice I can give you is for you to set up a phone consult with him to improve your sperm count. He has had tremendous results improving men's sperm count through diet, supplementation and herbal medicine. For your wife, she would consult with me.



Each person's reproductive pattern and assessment is individualized. A personalized diagnosis, evaluation and herbal prescription are essential for individual success. A cookie-cutter approach is not nearly as successful due to the wide variety of patterns that lead up to poor sperm count and fibroids.



Luckily our expertise includes nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and acupuncture. For local patients they can receive acupuncture and for other patients they can use herbal medicine to improve their fertility. We have treated patients as far away as the United Kingdom. We are able to assess you from anywhere in the United States and drop ship to your home. If you are out of the U.S. we will have to do some research on shipping costs of the natural medicines that are mailed to you.



Please call us (208) 938-1277 to set up your personalized consultation. You may also visit our website listed above and for you click on "Tony's Intake" and for your wife "Kristen's In-take" and mail it to our address on our website. This way we will have all the medical information we need to assess your personal challenges with infertility before doing the phone consultation where we will gather more pertinent information. Be sure to add any relevant information that may not be asked on our questionnaire i.e.: sperm count numbers, treatments, surgeries, sizes of fibroids, etc.



I hope this information helps you. We look forward to meeting you and your wife and helping your baby dreams come true.

Sperm Count, Morphology and Motility Improved Naturally

There are many exceptional options to naturally (not artificially) increase sperm count, quality and motility. My husband and I both have had considerable success treating male infertility including: poor sperm count, quality and motility. Many of our patients are considered “infertile” by their reproductive endocrinologist when they first see us. After 3-6 months of treatment their counts, quality and motility are all in the fertile range. Herbal medicine treats male infertility by treating the general health of the man with anti-aging components and adaptogenic effects. The herbs also have the ability to regulate the endocrine system, balance hormone production and treats reproductive disorders safely.




Acupuncture has been proven time and time again to improve sperm in infertile men. Here is one study published in the prestigious medical journal Fertility and Sterility:

A study published in July 2005 issue of the journal Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture improved sperm quality in infertile men’s semen.



In the study, 28 men received acupuncture in addition to traditional infertility treatments, while another 12 men received only the traditional treatments. All of the men were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.



Acupuncture was associated with fewer structural defects in the sperm of men who received it, although it had no effect on sperm immaturity or premature death.



Previous studies have shown a link between acupuncture and improved sperm production and motility.



To find an acupuncturist near you go to Acufinder on the web. Go to our website for a good comparison of what an expert in this field looks like.





Here are some things you can do to improve ejaculate volume, viscosity, appearance, pH balance, sperm count, motility and morphology:



Herbal and Vitamin phone consult with Anthony A. Burris, L.Ac., M.S.T.O.M. Acupuncturist and Herbalist with an expertise in men’s health, fertility and sports injury. Herbal medicine is so effective in treating sperm quality, quantity and motility than an infertile man can become fertile. Expect a minimum of 3 months to improve sperm and re-analyze sperm after 6 months of herbal medicine treatment to ensure proper herbal prescription is working effectively.



Eliminate alcohol as it decreases one’s ability to produce testosterone.



Eliminate smoking, recreational drugs (including marijuana), and stress.



Eliminate ejaculation other than fertile times having intercourse every other day for one week during fertile signs and ovulation.



Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, hot tub, hot baths, tight underwear and bicycle riding all of which lead to increased temperature in the testicles and potentially reduce sperm count.



Take 40-80 mg of Zinc (never do more than 100 mg daily) in the form of supplements and food. An excellent source of Zinc can be purchased on our website. It’s called Zinc A.G. take two daily for improved immunity and prostate function.



Vitamin E take 200-400 iu daily helping to balance hormone production. Wellness Essentials for Men has 50 iu and it’s easy to supplement in your diet by eating: almonds, cold pressed vegetable oils, dark leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, brown rice, kelp, milk, oatmeal, wheat, wheat germ, sweet potatoes and flax seeds.



Foods to eat to increase virility and sperm quality and production: scallions, lamb, shrimp, black beans, kidney beans, yams, clams and oysters.



Avoid the herbs: Echinacea, ginkgo biloba and St.John’s Wort



Avoid drugs (with a doctor’s supervision): Zantac (Ranitidine) and Tagamet (Cimetidine)



There are many natural options for improving quality, quantity and motility of sperm. These procedures are very effective, safe and non-invasive. The best side-effects from the treatment are often improved sleep, higher sex-drive, greater virility, lower stress and less depression.
